4. Merchants, Lawyers, Officers (Govt)
5. Social Ranks
6. Education based on money
7. Church breaks up
8. Now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this—Satan had great power, unto the stirring up of the people to do all manner of iniquity, and to the puffing them up with pride, tempting them to seek for power, and authority, and riches, and the vain things of the world.(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 6:15)
iii. Warrentless Executions

b. Tribalism won out
iii. Nephi minsters
1. And he did minister many things unto them; and all of them cannot be written, and a part of them would not suffice,
2. for it were not possible that they could disbelieve his words, for so great was his faith on the Lord Jesus Christ that angels did minister unto him daily. (Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 7:17, 18)
XI. Christ Quotient
i. How to stop Gadiantons?
1. Viral effect works with fallen human nature, stable structure, parasite
2. Weakness is parasitical, so work on host
3. Ultimately preach gospel
ii. Control of Government
1. My background is BA in History, minor in Poli Sci, so , yes, I am quote-unquote using my degree.
2. Deathcamps, because Gadianton Robbers had "sole management of government"
a. If you hold office, you have discretionary powers
b. Policy papers
c. Color and legitimacy of office
3. Counter strategy is for members to get law degrees, become political scientists, run for office and win.
iii. Civil Collapse
1. Ezra Taft Benson, The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson , p.571 - 572
2. Now God will not permit America, His base of operations, to be destroyed. He has promised protection to this land if we will but serve the God of the land (see Ether 2:12). He has also promised protection to the righteous even, if necessary, to send fire from heaven to destroy their enemies (1 Nephi 22:17).     
3. No, God's base of operations will not be destroyed. But it may be weakened and made less effective. One of the first rules of war strategy-and we are at war with the adversary and his agents-is to protect the base of operations. This we must do if we are to build up the kingdom throughout the world and safeguard our God-given freedom.     
4. We must protect this base of operations from every threat-from sin, from unrighteousness, from immorality, from desecration of the Sabbath day, from lawlessness, from parental and juvenile delinquency. We must protect it from dirty movies, from filthy advertising from salacious and suggestive television programs, magazines, and books.
iv. Church Collapse
1. Alma 4:10
a. the wickedness of the church was a great stumbling–block to those who did not belong to the church; and thus the church began to fail in its progress.
2. Daniel, Church never going away
3. Can we do things that hinder work of Church
a. Casual covenant keeping and calling
b. Incorrect name of Church
c. Lowest Common Denominator
v. Civil and Ecclesiastical structure need to be in tact. America and Constitution so prominent in Restoration, JS and Kirtland Temple, DHO and PCC Temple. Need both to lead to Christ ..and that's the point.
