Response to claim: 45: Latter-day Saints are raised to "obey figures of Mormon authority unquestioningly"
The author(s) of Under the Banner of Heaven make(s) the following claim:
The author claims that Latter-day Saints are raised to "obey figures of Mormon authority unquestioningly, and to believe that LDS doctrine is the law of God."
FAIR's Response
Obey Brigham unquestioningly?- Authoritarianism and Church leaders
- Authoritarianism and Church leaders/Quotes
- Compare with similar treatment in Will Bagley, Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows (University of Oklahoma Press, 2002), 9.

The author(s) of Under the Banner of Heaven make(s) the following claim:
The author claims that a fourteen-year-old Latter-day Saint girl was forced to wear robes by her kidnapper that "resembled the sacred robes she had donned with her family when they entered the Mormon temple."
FAIR's Response
Fact checking results: This claim is false
A fourteen-year-old LDS girl's experience with the temple would have only involved performing baptisms for the dead, and would not have required the wearing of any "sacred robes."|authorsources= }}

The author(s) of Under the Banner of Heaven make(s) the following claim:
The author claims that the "words of Joseph Smith" are taught as having been "handed down by God Himself."
