You could become a law unto yourself.  This is not becoming like God.  The statement is somewhat of an oxymoron.
God walks on the razor's edge of stable creation.  Perfect in mercy and justice, which grants him the trust and love of creation.  The only way to rule over beings with free will is to have their devotion and for them to grant unto you their voluntary obedience.
Someone who is a law unto himself and wishes the long term allegiance of beings with free-will, to grant unto him dominion, will find the balance difficult to achieve outside of God's system or one like unto it.

I'm about 13 years removed from the Utah single scene.  The girls I managed to get dates with, about 80-90% seemed to want to have fun, weren't ready to settle down or even "solo date" (many of these women were early to even late 20s).
Being a rather duty oriented sort, I was probably intimidating with a "I'm not here to have fun or mess around" feeling I probably oozed with my very presence.  So maybe my sampling was poor, if they didn't *really* like me it was one date and done.  Hanging out, or group dates always showed me in my worst light so I avoided them.  I was not a social butterfly.  So I struggled with finding dates at all.   Only girl I ever kissed was my now wife.
But eventually I found the one, and have managed to make it a a good marriage after some struggle and trial.  I do not envy what it must be like in current singles circles.  Though I fully believe that the Lord will provide for the faithful, in His own time.

This represents current thinking in the Church, and for periods of time it may well represent the reality of our current society.  However, if it were generally true or truth, we would have no writings in the scriptures about seeing the Son, touching the marks, hearing or seeing the Father.  There clearly are things that are forbidden, but there is also a realm of holy experiences that are shareable as plainly evidenced by scriptural testimony.  I think such stipulations on keeping things to ourselves represent our collective unbelief and as a protection for the individual who has seen against the wolves that might rend them.
I think as we progress to the second coming there will more and more individuals and families that experience Him, and who are commanded to share with certain parties, perhaps even in some public manner, that others may hear their testimonies and seek Him, that their unbelief might be lifted and also experience Him.  When we have congregations of such people, He can freely walk among us.  It is only such a people that can build the New Jerusalem.  At some point, we have to turn that corner.
I used to hold a view similar to yours, about being cautions about book sellers, etc.  Where money and recompense might be involved.  One day when I was venturing forth such an opinion I had the spirit ask me.  "So what is it you get paid to do?"  (I am a back end dev for lds.org/scriptures and lds.org/music) Well... I'm paid to spread gospel works, the core content.  That question was quite penetrating to me, it taught me to stop trying to judge people's motives in this manner.  I would never be able to do this work as a volunteer, the compensation does provide for my family and do a good work that is more rewarding and productive in this world than most.  It is enough to review and judge their works on their own merits alone rather than judge them on a shallow type or if money might be involved - that is their personal affair between them and the Lord.  Further unbiased reflection will show that the church sells books, GAs sell books, etc...

There is something to that, but I also tend to believe that the words will remain true regardless of the conceptual notions of the people receiving the revelations.  God does speak to the understanding of men.
NGC-6814.  I try to preserve the name of whatever image I grab to help identify it if desired.  
I've looked at many.  Ellipsoids tend to follow the same pattern IMHO.  Though depending on how the photo was taken the Terrestial may be difficult to distinguish from the Telestial.  When only using a narrow band of emissions it's more difficult.  The core is always easy to distinguish.  I find it easiest on a top down view with full visible light spectrum available.  Some other commonalities are the dust cloud, "veil", around the core.  And there is also one found at the outskirts beyond the Telestial sphere, "outter darkness" where one would be veiled from the light, or "glory" from your own galaxy.
 
This is highly speculative.  There will be linkages for some, yes, as a new family forms I would think that there is a development process.  Globular clusters to new infant galaxies - they seem to be built from the core outward.  I think there are also those who choose to remain close neighbors.  There is as much variance as individuality found in The Family.  Like people here who choose different houses, neighborhoods, and communities.

It's an interesting topic, I'll provide you with a theorem.
No.  I believe that is demonstratably false with scripture
I believe that this is the more logical division.  Scriptural support.
Abraham 3:3 And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.
Kolob is declared to be one of the ...governing ones...  It is at the foundation of an organization - and near to where the Father lives.  It belongs to the same order as this world, and by the other information it's clear that it is another planet.  If it is a foundation of an organization of worlds, the largest unit that fits is a Galaxy.  Beyond that unit there is no clear governing order we can discern, at least that I understand.  It is related to rotations, seasons - time, which seem to me to be direct governance - orbits around each other with what we call gravity.  Galaxies do not seem to have distinct interactions that one could potentially declare as clear governance.  They probably exist, but they are very indistinct and a poor fit for direct governance.
Thus I find it quite a reasonable idea that a Galaxy represents a familial creation subdivision - and the milky way represents the creation done under our Father.
Supporting evidence.  The center of the galaxy is veiled from us.  One form of a 'veil'.  We are unable to number his worlds, which we cannot no matter what we build or how many computers we might dedicate to the task because we cannot see on the other side of the center.  Our best estimates are generally little better than an order of magnitude ball-park style numbering.  So, we indeed, cannot "count' creation.  The sun, the moon, and the stars we can see all reside in this galaxy.  While we can see other galaxies, we cannot discern individual bodies there so they should not be considered stars.  Our sun is in the outer 3rd from the center, that may indicate that we are in the 3rd of 3 kingdoms - Telestial, that fits.  When you look at pictures of galaxies, there tends to be a quite distinct core (Celestial kingdom), followed by two fairly distinct areas moving outward and often marked by composition and color (Terrestial/Telestial).  This fits the order of creation as we understand it.  Attached an illustrative example.
This does not constitute a proof, but a possibility to think on.
