Great and abominable What? 1st Nephi 13:6-9


 “group”, “organization”, “assembly”, “church”, “cohort”, “network”, “support group”, “circle”, “band”, “clique”, “opinion leaders”, “insiders”, “movers and shakers” .... whatever term is used...their designation as “great and abominable” is manifested in their desires and motivations, conscious or unconscious:

“And the angel spake unto me saying [these] are the desires of this great and abominable...”

Wealth, 
expensive fashion, 
self-indulgence, 
objectification of others, 
sexual pleasure,
a deep emotional appetite for praise that overrules any sense of compassion


Sobering.  Very sobering.
