A hypothetical dialogue:
Apostle (brandishing gun): Hi there TBM. You have to give me all your money or I'll blow your head off... and gee, that's a pretty daughter you got there, and I'm feeling horny. Pass her over too.
TBM: Um, Mr Apostle, I am really worried about what you are saying. Let's get the context right. I mean, I have to know if you really are speaking as an Apostle and if this is doctrine.
Apostle (pointing gun at TBM while backing into bedroom with girl): Hell no. I'm just speaking as a plain ole ornery robber and rapist. It's Friday and I'm off duty.
TBM: Gee thanks. That really sets my mind at rest. For a moment, I was really worried about what the anti-mormons would say about this!
