Funny how Mormons have a Bible but don't have to follow it.
Specifically, in Mormonism the laborers called to labor for Christ in the last days is all based upon seniority in direct contradiction to what The Bible says on the matter.

"# 5.
The Bible is the record of God’s dealings with the Israelites in the Middle Eastern countries. He is, however, the God of the Israelites everywhere, and of all nations. He also gives His word to them."

Like lawyers treating previous judgments as precedence for their guidance of their flock, Mormon leaders can interpret "The Scriptures" any way they want to to get what they want. All they need to do is invoke their judge in heaven and The Bible, The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price become merely records of previous judgments which they can use or ignore depending on which ones further their agendas or cover their asses.
The Bible has a talking ass in it. We were warned long ago. Mormonism just boldly goes with explicit authority where others have used more subtle means to exercise their own divinity in executing their laws and lawyering unto themselves.
