I guess we ought to be glad nobody is pushing to take over. So this time it is just happening and not made to happen purposefully with evil intent and seated in the darkest smear of what 3 Nephi 16 is talking about.
It's all moot anyways these days.
OK I'll bite. What are Hinckley's "secret abominations"?
3 Nephi 16:10
10 And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be
lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of
lyings, and of deceits, and of
mischiefs, and all manner of
hypocrisy, and
murders, and
priestcrafts, and
whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall
reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.
Presiding Bishopric councilor Glen Pace investigated Satanic Ritual Abuse at the end of the Eighties. East Millcreek Stake was high on the list of reports of temple attendance triggering abuse flashbacks that precipitated the investigation. Hinckley was Stake President at the time of reported abuse. President Benson is suddenly incapacitated the investigation stops and the temple ceremony is altered to end flashbacks and guess who is in charge? Yeah, the man who suddenly got in charge because he worked for Church Headquarters from the time he got back from his mission to England, when Kimball's entire presidency got bladder infections and Hinckley was the FORTH councilor. Hunter was allowed to live six months as president before he dies. Hinckley is back in charge.
How much abomination is enough before we see the man for who he was. He openly betrayed the faith before all the world and scolded the people with a self righteous abandon.
Lyings and Deciet?.............CHECK ( I don't know if we teach that)
Mischiefs?........................CHECK (Satanic Ritualism)
Hypocrisy?.......................CHECK (pick a sermon)
Murders?..........................CHECK (What do you call it?)
Priestcrafts?.....................CHECK (Accepted callings unworthily)
Whoredoms?.....................CHECK (twas a bath house boy to the GAs)
Rejected Gospel.................CHECK (He was in charge of MY being fringed and excommunicated eventually.)
I got the gospel right and aptly demonstrated it to the best and brightest in LDS Church leadership and education who flooded into the East Millcreek Stake where the power was and where I just happened to live in Hinckley's, O C Tanner's, Lowell Bennion's, Wendell Ashton's neighborhood which Hinckley presided over always regardless who else was Stake President as also he was behind the rejection of my four years of research that corrected LDS adolescent theology to a level of scriptural maturity able to roll with eternity and withstand the anti-Mormon campaigns of our day.
Both Hinckley and Monson sustained my excommunication upon my appeal. Benson, who wrote me a nice letter years before saying he noted with interest my Book of Mormon Standard of Conversion paper was incapacitated at the moment....hmm.....? Imagine that?
Now here I am taking it to the Gentiles and ripping the gospel from among them by virtue of God's Holy Mountain that was purposefully set here to confront them and show all the world the salvation of their God.
So it is a tragic collision of matter and anti-matter that Hinckley and I were neighbors. Just my opinion mind you. Biased as anyone put in a corner and pissed on would be.
