I can certainly see parallels to the two situations and I think it is a useful to contrast in general. I actually think that would be a nice way to approach the lesson. The Nephite response to an outsider preaching and the Zoramite response to an outsider preaching.
I wonder, though ... I don't think Nephite law at least as described by Mormon would prohibit what the Zoramites were doing to the poor.
