Let's say that I go to Utah to start a new religion armed with the NDE of Howard Storm?

Would Latter day Saint Elders or Sisters give my "New Religion" a serious look?

Do you think that I could get Latter day Saint Elders and Sisters to become my employees if I were to go to a City in Utah and attempt to begin "a new religion", [sort of], using the near death experience account of former Atheist Howard Storm as part of my religious texts?

I have to admit that the fact that former Atheist Howard Storm is still alive could get me into trouble in lots of ways but this is still a rather amusing but potentially rather interesting theory.

I have been mentored by about fourteen LDS Elders and two Sisters since 2018, and in my opinion these are some of the most impressive young theologians that I have ever met in my sixty six years!

Do a search for the following just to see what you can find:
"Comparing Prophet Joseph Smith and Howard Storm Ph.D?"
For the record Howard Storm wrote to me personally and told me that he technically did not have a Ph. D!

[Howard Storm] :

"I asked how God could let the Holocaust of World War II happen. We were transported to a railway station as a long train of freight cars was being unloaded of its human cargo. The guards were screaming and beating the people into submission. The people were Jewish men, women, and children. Exhausted from hunger and thirst, they were totally disoriented from the ordeal of being rounded up and sent on a long journey to an unknown destination. They believed that they were going to work camps, and that their submission to the brutality of the guards was the only way to survive.

We went to the area where the selection process was taking place and heard the guards talking about "the Angel Maker." We went to the place the guards were referring to as "the Angel Maker," which was a series of ovens. I saw piles of naked corpses being loaded into the ovens, and I began to cry. Jesus said to me, "These are the people God loves." Then he said, "Look up." Rising out of the smoke of the chimneys, I saw hundreds of people being met by thousands of angels taking them up into the sky. There was great joy in the faces of the people, and there appeared to be no trace of a memory of the horrendous suffering they had just endured. How ironic that the guards sarcastically called the ovens "the Angel Maker."

I asked how God could allow this to happen. They told me that this was not God's will. This was an abomination to God. God wants this never to happen again. This was the sacrifice of an innocent people to whom God had given the law to be an example, a light, to the rest of the world. This Holocaust was breaking God's heart. The anguish that Jesus was suffering at the slaughter of his people was too much for me to bear and I begged that we leave this place. I will never forget this: his anguish at this horror and what it represents. This was one of the low points in human history."

I asked, Why does God let things like this happen? They told me that God was very unhappy with the course of human history and was going to intervene to change the world. God had watched us sink to depths of depravity and cruelty at the very time that he was giving us the instruments to make the world a godlier world. God had intervened in the world many times before, but this time God was going to change the course of human events." (Howard Storm, My Descent Into Death, page 42,43)

Another question that is related to this? What if I went to the City in Utah where The Charlie Kirk was murdered?
