Today's Favorite Verse: Helaman 2:13
"And behold, in the end of this book ye shall see that this Gadianton did prove the overthrow, yea, almost the entire destruction of the people of Nephi."
It's important to look at the pattern.
"Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained that the threat of secret combinations still exists in our day:
“If we are not careful, today’s secret combinations can obtain power and influence just as quickly and just as completely as they did in Book of Mormon times. Do you remember the pattern? The secret combinations began among the ‘more wicked part’ of society, but eventually ‘seduced the more part of the righteous’ until the whole society was polluted."
(Book of Mormon Student Manuel, Chapter 35: Helaman 1-4, "Evil Secret Works Can Destroy Societies")
I can see this "seducing the more part of the righteous" happening amongst us right now. Those that appeared on a good path have sold their souls for money and power, and what's in it for me. It's amazing to see how people they once spoke out and condemned as wicked are how lifted up and followed.
