2026-03-01 Invitation: Individual sovereignty
Links: Bending of the Mormon Soul," ⌂ (37:23) by Jonathan Streeter.[1]
In our law, which is just, self-ownership (personal sovereignty) must exist if one is to be free, hence subject to judgement under the law.
The word “Sovereignty”[2] itself means: Autonomy, independence, self-government, self-rule, home rule, self-determination, freedom or: Supreme "power" or independent authority. By personal sovereignty is meant the “power within” to say no. Meaning we claim our own power over our own lives and allow others the right to do the same. To be accountable requires we be in this place of true, authentic, and self-generated power. Individual sovereignty is incompatible with Temple Covenants of Obedience, Sacrifice, Consecration, and Secrecy which threaten to defeat sovereignty.

[1] "Elder Oaks and the Bending of the Mormon Soul," ⌂ (37:23) by Jonathan Streeter. How controlling groups maintain a hold on the mind and hearts of members who internally disagree with leaders? Your own personal conscience cannot be trusted if it contradicts the Brethren.
[2] Individual sovereignty means that it is evil for any other person or Church to interfere with one's honest and peaceful choices. This criterion means use of Temple Covenants are acts of domination and control which disregard that being a free and sovereign person having purity of motive, and being free of coercion, and having the capacity to give informed consent, are necessary pre-conditions to any judgement of one’s morality.
