Before listening to this post, you may want to listen to the audio of my excommunication hearing.

The bible has several examples of mindless henchmen who worked great evil in Jesus’ day. They were the Temple Guards. These were the boys with spears and swards. With determination, they did the bidding of the Pharisees and Sadducees that made up the Sanhedrin. These were the thugs and bullies who kept the people in cowering submission. These were the functionaries of evil men, corrupt men, unprincipled men. The more things change, the more they say the same.

The modern Sanhedrin is made up of the prophets, apostles, regional and local leaders inside the Mormon church. The unprincipled henchmen include Dan McConkie and the other functionaries at Kirton McConkie, Attorneys at Law.

In Acts 4 & 5 we read the story of the Sanhedrin’s godless treatment of Peter and John. There was an order to never again speak of their faith. When the apostles refused to keep the order and again preached of Jesus, the Sanhedrin did all in their power to harm them.

Can anyone tell me how my story with the Mormon Sanhedrin and its paid thugs is different? I am convinced that they are working from the same play-book used  against Jesus and his followers.

Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
