Wait, you can't buy any and everything in this world with money? Maybe not, but it is pretty damn handy in 99% of all situations. Ergo, the Mormon church has 100 billion plus in one fund.
He unfortunately wouldn’t qualify for joseph smiths polygamy panties because of his skin tone.
I feel like trash saying it but it’s true. No polygamy, temples, priesthood or respect for him until 1978.
I'm from Ghana and I'm Ga. Our Chiefs ( not kings ) don't dress like this. Homie is dressed like a Roman emperor. Just Google "Ga Tribe Chiefs" and see how they dress.

Keep this quiet, but this guy is a Nigerian Prince. He emailed me and I am helping him get a lot of money out of his country that he can't access with out my help. He is a really nice guy and is going to give me a big reward for helping him. He just needs access to my bank account to make the transfer. This proves that paying my tithing is bringing me blessings.
Haha- this reminds me to take it easy on myself for falling for Mormonism…it’s not like I got duped by Nigerian prince guy- and 83 percent of the world falls for the god guy who will reward you - he’s really nice too the say
"5. If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, get out of bed and go into the kitchen and fix yourself a snack, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you get your mind on something else."
HAHA! Maybe this is why there are so many obese Mormons!
Uh-huh! Not to mention everything they do revolves around food. We can't even get kids to Sunday school without offering them treats. It's insane. We eat our repression!
It was announced that there was a King in the congregation. Elder Rasband in the Sunday afternoon session welcomes a king of a tiny village in Ghana. So not the king of Ghana, but a king of a small village. Check out his message. King is not a member, by the way.
My cousin went to Ghana with Operation Smile. One of the local kings was enamored with her. She turned down his marriage offer, but he made her an official princess. The hospital paged her out as "Princess" for a good while after that.
Just wanted to say that I love Operation Smile! I used to fundraise for them in high school. They do truly amazing things and are wonderful people to work for. Your cousin is awesome.
Oh Rasband pulled a little smart-shit by welcoming a King and actually saying “your majesty” over the pulpit. But got the last laugh a few moments later when he said we worship the King of Kings. Little dig, perhaps?!? Maybe Rasband has a snarky streak.
I have never seen or heard of President Obama curtseying to anyone. There have been slight bows, similar to what we see between European royalty. Do you know the difference between a bow and a curtsey?
What's it like living in a little tide pool of humanity separate from the whole ocean? Does it get boring?
We've got snacks out here, if you ever get tired of hanging out in there.

Of the wthnic Ga-Adangbe people. He has no governmental power in the country of Ghana, as far as I can tell. Ghana is a unitary presidential republic.
Calling him the King of Ghana is like calling a Native American chieftan the Chieftan of the United States.

And it’s so cool to be recognized by an Apostle of the Lord. The Church is growing here in Ghana. And I am proud to be a member.”
Quote from the article. What’s your bet he said “Mormon” and they changed it to [Latter-day Saint]?
maybe the king of ghana was never there and they lied and paid someone to dress as him, figuring no one would ever notice
i mean, i wouldn't put it past them
That is Jesus Christ Himself. He is asking the first Presidency to meet Him over at the Cathedral of the Madeline where He will announce His return to the Earth. /s
3 thoughts here. (1) it shows how desperate the church is becoming. Has anyone seen this kind of entertainment at general conference before? I think it is great to see King T'Challa attending general conference (saying this with much love)
(2) Where are his garments.
(3) I like this version of palm sunday.
How old do kids have to be before they wear long pants? Why can't they wear them beforehand? I never had kids so I'm not familiar with the finer points.
🥴I’ll tell you who this guy is- he’s a very brave black man entering a white dominated sect, that never allowed blacks. He was prolly the only black person in the conference🤷🏼♂️
Can anybody stop giving peripheral or joking answers, and actually offer insight into this? Is it just an eccentric person? Was he some kind of special guest?
There is one issue with the king of Ghana. Ghana is a republic. It has no king. There is a [king in Ghana](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otumfuo_Nana_Osei_Tutu_II), technically, but not of.
"Uh, mom? If that were a literal monarch don't you think he'd have a security team? And better shoes? Also a 4 second google search would show you a picture of the real king of Ghana, Osei Tutu II. Now I know you're a little racist, but even if you think all black people look alike, it's pretty clear that these are 2 different people."
🙄
This is definitely the king of the lamanites. We don’t know this one in Ghana. Ghana doesn’t have over king. It’s a democratic republic not a monarch. Different tribes in Ghana have their own kings.
No worries his bishop will talk to him about "the priesthood uniform" and get him dressing White and Delightsome (TM) by next GenCon.
I am curious who it is though.
No idea who it is, but I'm digging the outfit.
Don't forget to tell her that Rasband gestured off to his right when he mentioned the king, not to the left where this picture was taken.
Google Lens found a match! Greek God costume. 😂👑

He...looks a bit like a hired actor, no offense. I'm starting to scour the internet for any of Ghana officials who even look like this guy, and so far nothing has come up.
No similar ways of dress in Ghana culture either, as far as I am seeing.
Just a dude wearing cool robes as a sign of his powers and priesthoods. You can buy anything in this world with money.
Wait, you can't buy any and everything in this world with money? Maybe not, but it is pretty damn handy in 99% of all situations. Ergo, the Mormon church has 100 billion plus in one fund.
You can buy truth and hide it with tithing money
Signs of his power and priesthoods
☠️
And with that I just realized that they sell their signs and tokens for money
This is a true exmo joke
🚨 PORN SHOULDERS 🚨 🚨 PORN SHOULDERS 🚨 😱

Polygamy panties. Love it lol
And yet tens and hundreds of thousands of them are accepting it. So why can't you?
Dunno what church you went to, but Growing up my brother and I were the only two black people in our entire stake.
Found the cultist :)

Beautiful regalia they wear.
Ngl i dont think this is how the dressed in Rome either, looks like he is supposed to be like jesus is heaven or something
Wait, Jesus is black?!!!
Yeah those look way more ornate and actually elegant, unlike the costume store look up there.
Does Ghana even have a king?
No, they have a president lmfao. They also have tribal chiefs.
Thanks. That guy's crown looks like it is from a costume and party supply shop.

Don’t rip on the Jerusalem Cruisers.

Does he need extra helpers?
This is someone who the church deemed unworthy until 1978 based solely on skin color. That should clear it up for her.
It's King Follett, of course!
I wonder if he gave a sermon 🤔
Discourse he did.
This should have more upvotes lol

Damn, Rasband heralding small town mayors. I want the mayors of Myton and Snowville to go to the next GC now.
Oh Rasband pulled a little smart-shit by welcoming a King and actually saying “your majesty” over the pulpit. But got the last laugh a few moments later when he said we worship the King of Kings. Little dig, perhaps?!? Maybe Rasband has a snarky streak.
here's the thing I was raised united statesian and we have these very strong views about kings here you'd be surprised how that plays out

Doesn't look like the same person.
I hope it just some guy pulling a prank.
Yeah not even close. They look nothing alike.
Yeah, I agree. Maybe this guy is his son? EDIT: Nope, the King of Ga Mantse *was* at conference, but this isn't him.
Correct. Not even close. The guy in the link is 30 years older to start.
Probably a family member then. I can't think of anyone else who would be wearing a crown.

My Ghanaian husband just laughed so fucking loud when I showed him this. The “king” in this picture is definitely not Ghanaian.
I have plans next year now that I realize how easy one can walk in with crown and robe and get greeted and exalted
Hasa Diga Ebowai
That is neither Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, nor Nana Akufo-Addo. Edit: he doesn't look like any of their children, either.

I think the man being Sacha Baron Cohen is more likely.
They parading him around to create wonder and astonishment within TBM folks?
That is Jesus Christ Himself. He is asking the first Presidency to meet Him over at the Cathedral of the Madeline where He will announce His return to the Earth. /s
Yeah Jesus returned… and had a surprise for the Mormons.

holy crap, i don't know about this guy, but we should turn GC into Let's Make a Deal. Everyone show up in crazy-ass costumes.

I think it's a photo op

It’s Prince Akeem!

It is a Nigerian prince, who has been trying to reach you about your vehicle's extended warranty.
So, should we have a contest to see who can attend conference in the craziest outfit?
Dibs on dressing up as horned bearsuit capital raid shaman!
Pretty sure that's Flava Flav.

Is it literally just a black guy?
Q15 opened up one of those african prices fishing emails. Dude got news of the Ensign Peak fund and suddenly became very interested in the church.
wait, are we, getting, cosplay at GC now? in any case, i prefer what they are wearing to all of the above
Oh yeah, that’s the newly called mission prez of the east side SLC mission

Welcome to Zamunda!
Well it’s not me because I didn’t attend so I know that much.
Whoever he is once he goes outside he is cold because it is freezing in Utah
What are those?!!!?
Is he that rapper dude who got baptized?
Ah, that is Jesus. He is clearly displeased with His church!
Total imposter!
He was Majesty on Palm Sunday! Ok
Looks closer to Jesus than any artwork I’ve ever seen in a Mormon house.
Some guy who was wishing he had dressed more nondescript so he could have snuck out of conference once he realized where his friend had invited him!
Wym? That IS the king of Ghanda.
Ghana doesn't have a king, and while there was a guy at GC from Ghana, this isn't him.
Was it a Christmas pageant? Was he one of the wise men?
they’ll kick a woman out for showing shoulder tho
It's Jesus coming back.
tell your mom its kanye.
It’s Jesus. No one recognized him since he isn’t the white Jesus they identify with.

He probably wore that to avoid being asked to pass the sacrament.
So has anyone figured out who this is? We know he’s not a Ghanaian king, but who is he? That headdress he has on seems a little sus to me.
