"Twelve examples of the extent to which Joseph may have sought to interpose his will over that normally imposed upon human behavior by external reality are: his use of military imagery, his defiance of state laws, his manipulation of the political process, his control of the financial affairs of the church and its members, the creation of the Council of Fifty, his ordination as king, his campaign for the presidency of the United States, failed prophecy, his abrogation of established church judicial procedures, his failure to specify an apparent successor, his practice of plural marriage, and the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor. Each example, discussed in greater detail below, reflects what may be either maladaptive responses to Joseph's environment or possible evidence of a growing sense of self-importance and personal omnipotence."
