1st ISSUE, 2nd Volume Fall/2004 "If the Salt Has Lost Its Savour..." We are witnessing the great time of the fulfilling of the prophecies of the Book of Mormon, the time when LDS leaders and those behind the scenes controlling the LDS Church are fulfilling plain Book of Mormon prophecies that they will apostatize and reject the fulness of the Gospel entrusted to them. There are many Book of Mormon scriptures pertaining to our day which irrefutably describe the people currently directing the LDS Church as betraying their beliefs and polluting and corrupting the Holy Church of God. It is this day we are witnessing the loss of spirituality among the LDS people, and we are also witnessing that the Spirit of the Lord has been transferred from the LDS Gentiles to the House of Israel American Indian people. The power of the Lord now rests upon those American Indian people in poor, humble and modest circumstances, and others among them who are sincere in their desire to serve their God. Do Mormon LDS professors and scholars realize they have lost their spirituality, and they are vulnerable to being used by Satan to destroy the credibility of Joseph Smith and the Mormon religion? Do they realize that they need to watch and be very careful what they do or they will destroy the Mormon religion? "And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity. For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the fulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are swept off." (Book of Mormon | Ether 2:9 - 10) The modern Mormon Church has willingly been led into a time of great crises which will test the most loyal members among them. Those who were sincerely striving to live their religion as dictated by the mortal men they now follow are encountering great difficulties that cannot be reconciled by rational thinking. Expressing strong sentiments of patriotism and loyalty to America and promoting what was once considered healthy patriotism is now being mocked in official LDS publications as "extremist." LDS Church owned publications have intensified writings that attack the very foundations of the Mormon religion, and now church owned publications are sprinkling in occasional writings which defend those who betray America herself as equal to patriotic views, as being equally "extremist" to those among their readership (primarily LDS) who express strong sentiments of patriotism and loyalty to America. A people robbed of their valiancy through several generations are now being encouraged to support voluntary implantation of computer chips for quick identification by medical authorities. The Deseret News explains in an Oct. 15, 2004 editorial that a patient’s doctor needs to learn what "a doctor on another part of town has unearthed." In an effort to appear objective, a people that has been subdued into passivity is counseled to "stay vigilant" even though the once valiant people have had their spirituality and valiancy drained from them long ago. The people that resides near Church headquarters has been taught to fear asking accountability from those they follow, and they remain passive in the face of a storied history of gross infringements against the rights of ordinary citizens, and abuses of power of elected and Church leaders against the people they should be serving; they are told in reassuring language that they have nothing to worry about. The domicile people are urged in the editorial to "stay vigilant" before the concluding paragraph of the newspaper’s editorial, which by strong implication mocks critics and those who might scrutinize and object to the plan as "conspiracy buffs." "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." (New Testament | Matthew 10:32 - 38) Those same Gentile LDS who have lost their spirituality now seek a leadership role in guiding America and possibly the world to observe the experiment of passive and obedient LDS Church members implanting themselves with a computer chip so that caretakers can have instant access to their personal history, introduced for now as their personal medical history. U.S. citizens and others who value their freedom and liberty should not be quick to dismiss such news as not affecting their own future when a large population in their own midst embraces such a scheme and become avid proponents to its supposed benefits to humanity. A seemingly harmless experiment such as this with the Mormon people taking a leadership role should be viewed with much apprehension by the rest of America, for the success of such plans on a weak and unquestioning portion of the population could be cited as a reason that it will be beneficial for all people. Although seemingly introduced to loyal and righteous-appearing Mormons, the people of the modern LDS Church have not demonstrated that they can be entrusted to serve as vigilant examples for the cause of righteousness to the world, for they readily have betrayed Joseph Smith by accepting the works of Mark Hofmann, as well as the heritage and sacred teachings of their religion. Groundwork is now being laid in LDS Church owned publications such as the Deseret News for the LDS people to become open traitors to their country as well."Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." (New Testament | Matthew 7:16-23) Confused members of the Mormon Church who begin to awake to the fact that spirituality among conforming LDS is mere illusion presently have few options as constituted in today’s modern LDS Church. Occasionally stirring from time to time, they find it too difficult to break lose from their deep hypnotic slumber. The truth is too terrible to bear, and possibly no one has the strength to awake from such a condition once they have assented to the practices of the day. The wolves have entered into the church and have broke down the fences and scattered the sheep. To attempt to awake to a sense of their awful situation is to realize the power of God has long departed, and now can only be with the House of Israel American Indians instead of the modern LDS Gentiles. Signs of those business elements that LDS leaders have become beholden to, and sinister faces of evil are now emerging in the LDS Church, which desecrate the Holy name of the Savior and of the Church which bears His name through tasteless and sloppy media advertisements, the sounds of which resemble monkey chatter. The LDS people are now being conditioned to accept charities and money making entities as being equal partners with their Church, and these entities are now being portrayed as being mostly similar to the LDS Church in the good that they do; strong implications are being made that their efforts are one and the same. The Church logo which contains the holy name of the Savior is now being commercialized and exploited in media advertisements in a very undignified manner for a Church carrying the Lord’s name - portraying partnerships with businesses and is displayed side by side with businesses such as tacky used car dealerships.A MORMON LEADER’S PROPHETIC WORDS: "...It is so in the world; the Lord rewards all men according as their works have been in the body. One reason why the Lord will pour out His judgments upon the nations, is the blasphemous spirit of wickedness and corruption that reigns among man. "When the Gentiles reject the Gospel it will be taken from them, and go to the house of Israel, to that long suffering people ... "We are all Gentiles by nationality, we are of the Gentile nations who hold the sway of the earth. Not only will the Jews have these blessings again, but these poor despised Indians will enjoy the light and glory of the Gospel of Christ; their fathers proclaimed blessings upon them, by the spirit of prophecy and revelation..." "If we are afraid to rebuke iniquity, or ashamed to cast it off ourselves, Israel would go to hell, we should be cut off as a people, and the Lord would raise up another; for He is bound to have a people in the last days who will keep His commandments, and magnify their calling, and prove themselves friends of God, and maintain the principles of righteousness, and honor them before God, angels, and men, that His kingdom may be established in purity, and be prepared for the coming of the Messiah; for Christ is coming again to earth; he is preparing the bride, and here is a portion of it before me to_day." JD 2:195, Wilford Woodruff It is the American Indian people who are prophesied to enter into the Mormon Church during these times of great peril among Mormons and strengthen the little life that is still in the roots. It is this people that is prophesied to become the most powerful nation on Earth, re-possessing the continents of North and South America, and that the world will soon depend on them to be a guiding force in spiritual matters. Many choice spirits in heaven have been set apart to come to the Earth and live among the generation of today. The majority of these choice beings are to be born into the American Indian House of Israel, for the Lord has decreed where He will find His people during these last days. The hope of the LDS Gentile people currently in prominence in the Mormon Church is only to repent sufficiently so that they might hope to be numbered among the Lamanite House of Israel. It is the destiny of the American Indians to be that people which chiefly comprises the people of Zion described in the Bible and the Book of Mormon, a nation which will be the most powerful on earth and Christ Himself is foretold to come and reign and dwell among them. During these times the current Mormons have lost their spirituality and the Gospel has been taken from them and given to the American Indians, a people where the Spirit of the Lord now resides."Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be; While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire."(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 101:65-66) One great question for that test which will separate the wheat from the tares in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is who will be loyal to the religion taught by Joseph Smith. To preach a different doctrine other than that Gospel of Christ preached by Joseph Smith is to attempt to destroy the works of the Hands of the Lord. Beginning with Joseph Smith, many early Mormons taught that any man who taught a different doctrine other than that taught by Joseph Smith would be cursed. " Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name. How can anyone who considers himself to be a Mormon continue in the apathy of not understanding the very precious and plain things of the scriptures they claim to stand for? The wolves have entered into the church and have broke down the fences and scattered the sheep. To attempt to awake to a sense of their awful situation is to realize the power of God has long departed, and now can only be with the House of Israel instead of the LDS Gentiles. Does the Lord not warn us repeatedly throughout the scriptures to learn and live His Gospel according to His will or suffer terrible consequences? "I AM Alpha and Omega, Christ the Lord; yea, even I am he, the beginning and the end, the Redeemer of the world, I, having accomplished and finished the will of him whose I am, even the Father, concerning me—having done this that I might subdue all things unto myself— Retaining all power, even to the destroying of Satan and his works at the end of the world, and the last great day of judgment, which I shall pass upon the inhabitants thereof, judging every man according to his works and the deeds which he hath done. And surely every man must repent or suffer, for I, God, am endless. Wherefore, I revoke not the judgments which I shall pass, but woes shall go forth, weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, yea, to those who are found on my left hand. Nevertheless, it is not written that there shall be no end to this torment, but it is written endless torment. Again, it is written eternal damnation; wherefore it is more express than other scriptures, that it might work upon the hearts of the children of men, altogether for my name's glory. Wherefore, I will explain unto you this mystery, for it is meet unto you to know even as mine apostles. I speak unto you that are chosen in this thing, even as one, that you may enter into my rest. For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am endless, and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless punishment, for Endless is my name. Wherefore— Eternal punishment is God's punishment. Endless punishment is God's punishment. Wherefore, I command you to repent, and keep the commandments which you have received by the hand of my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., in my name; And it is by my almighty power that you have received them; Therefore I command you to repent—repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore—how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not. For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I; Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit —and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink— Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men. Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments of which I have spoken, of which in the smallest, yea, even in the least degree you have tasted at the time I withdrew my Spirit. "And I command you that you preach naught but repentance, and show not these things unto the world until it is wisdom in me. For they cannot bear meat now, but milk they must receive; wherefore, they must not know these things, lest they perish. Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me. I am Jesus Christ; I came by the will of the Father, and I do his will. " ... the Book of Mormon, which contains the truth and the word of God— Which is my word to the Gentile, that soon it may go to the Jew, of whom the Lamanites are a remnant, that they may believe the gospel, and look not for a Messiah to come who has already come. And again, I command thee that thou shalt pray vocally as well as in thy heart; yea, before the world as well as in secret, in public as well as in private. And thou shalt declare glad tidings, yea, publish it upon the mountains, and upon every high place, and among every people that thou shalt be permitted to see. And thou shalt do it with all humility, trusting in me, reviling not against revilers...And misery thou shalt receive if thou wilt slight these counsels, yea, even the destruction of thyself and property. ...And speak freely to all; yea, preach, exhort, declare the truth, even with a loud voice, with a sound of rejoicing, crying—Hosanna, hosanna, blessed be the name of the Lord God! Pray always, and I will pour out my Spirit upon you, and great shall be your blessing—yea, even more than if you should obtain treasures of earth and corruptibleness to the extent thereof. ..Yea, come unto me thy Savior. Amen. (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 19) Darkness similar to that of the dark ages has taken over the Mormons, and they have lost their sense of reason. When one examines the works of Mormons today it becomes quite evident that Mormons seek dark areas to place their spiritual hopes and salvation. Subjugating their Church titles to the works and science of men, they now teaching in many areas that the works of men are greater than the power of God. Instead of understanding their own religion, Mormons place their spirituality in dark places so the works of men can reign. By subjugating all key areas of spirituality on all key fronts to Satan, it is a simple matter for Satan to tighten his grip on the minds and souls of members of the LDS Church to bind them to his everlasting chains of death and hell. As the evil webs spun by Satan now are evident in asserting dominion over many key areas of the Mormon Church, the people seem undisturbed by the incursions made into formerly sacred realms of Mormon belief. "For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?" (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 5:13) As Mormons dwell in dark things, where can there be hope of finding a people who will serve the Lord? Having made a pact with death and Hell, the one the mainstream LDS now serve has little use for matters of spiritual importance, as the devil causes his servants to yield to his power the strongholds they were charged with as hireling those precious strongholds of the Lord, paid for with the blood of early Mormon pioneers. It is now the American Indian House of Israel Lamanites who have not been completely taken over, and are the last remaining hope to save the Mormon religion; it is with the American Indian Israelites where the power of the Lord now resides. "And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches——yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them." 2 Nephi 9:42 As they have eaten and drank and married with the world, the LDS people have also married into the wicked ideologies and institutions of the common world as well. The LDS Church has been steered into an untenable position by those who control it. To cover their tracks they now wholeheartedly embrace and submit to the practices of men....denying and subverting the power of God. For how can you deny an evil when you stand with it side by side, you have invested in it, and it has invested in you and the financial aspects of the LDS Church are now all that hold it together? Those financial ties have placed the LDS beliefs subservient to money interests of businesses, for to preach the true Mormon religion is to also threaten to contradict and weaken the worldly business interests now controlling and guiding the LDS Church, and a church so connected and dependent on entities of the arm of flesh has long ago chosen to submit to financial and social agendas of miscellaneous business and world leaders. "There is nothing plainer to my mind than this, that if the Latter_day Saints become luxurious and extravagant; if they love the world and forsake their former purity; if they forsake their frugality and temperance, and the principles which God has revealed unto them, and by the practice of which they are to_day the people that they are; we shall be overthrown as others have been overthrown.... "I have told you that others who have preceded us have fallen a prey to evils. The increase of wealth in every nation has been attended with fatal consequences. We have but to read the history of our race from the beginning until the present time to rest assured of that. Men have said, probably, to all of you who have been out and mingled with the world, "It is very well for you Latter_day Saints to talk about your condition now, because you are a primitive people, you are a young community, you have not been tempted and tried. Wait till you increase in wealth, and until you become familiar with the sins which surround the wealthy. Wait until you are brought in contact with luxury; wait until the spirit of reform which animated your pioneers dies out, and a generation rises up who will think more of the world, then there will be a different feeling and spirit, and you will not be persecuted, hated or despised. You will become more popular, because the world will become familiarized with your ideas. Then 'Mormonism' and the Latter_day Saints will become like every other people that have preceded them__overcome by the luxuries of the world, and by the love of riches." Have you not heard remarks of this kind time and time again? Doubtless they have been made to you or in your hearing." "... you doubtless saw and deplored the increase of wealth in some few hands. There was rapidly growing in our midst a class of monetary men composing an aristocracy of wealth. Our community was menaced by serious dangers through this, because if a community is separated into two classes, one poor and the other rich, their interests are diverse. Poverty and wealth do not work together well__one lords it over the other; one becomes the prey of the other. This is apt to be the case in all societies, in ours as well as others; probably not to so great an extent, but still it was sufficiently serious to menace us asa [sic] people with danger." (George Q. Cannon, JD 15:200) LDS Leaders can now find no choice but to try to put a righteous face on a religion that has disintegrated from within. In the current condition of the LDS Church the membership is heavily invested in worldly causes and have been led far away from the original cornerstone beliefs of the Mormon religion. To expect righteous leadership from General Authorities has become a situation almost identical to expecting the scribes and pharisees of the Bible to change their practices, to accept and preach the message of Christ. The foundations of the Church which was built upon noble efforts of the poor and downtrodden sacrifices of Saints has been destroyed, humble and spiritual people of modest means have lost their value to the money makers and it is the privileged and wealthy that are esteemed and sought for positions of leadership. "They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the poor because of their fine clothing; and they persecute the meek and the poor in heart, because in their pride they are puffed up. They wear stiff necks and high heads; yea, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and whoredoms, they have all gone astray save it be a few, who are the humble followers of Christ; nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err because they are taught by the precepts of men. O the wise, and the learned, and the rich, that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts, and all those who preach false doctrines, and all those who commit whoredoms, and pervert the right way of the Lord, wo, wo, wo be unto them, saith the Lord God Almighty, for they shall be thrust down to hell!" (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 28:13 - 15) During these perilous times it is foretold the American Indians will be grafted in to save the Mormon Church and restore a light to the world that has been lost to corrupt and evil men now influencing and leading the LDS Church down the pathway of utter and complete rejection of the Gospel and heritage of a once valiant people, a people who sacrificed and suffered to establish the Mormon Church to bring light into the world. An entire nation is now without the light the Mormons were meant to provide, and the evil forces who seek power by attempting to seize leadership of America through deception now threaten to divide and weaken a country that desperately needs to be united and support its soldiers in harms way (without the vigilant watch of LDS), as well as those people in foreign lands paying a tremendous price in human lives for their efforts to establish freedom. The forces that seek to bring terrorism and oppression from terrorist countries are alive and well in our own country, and media and journalism representatives have constructed a world view of propaganda unprecedented in world history, and so the evil is now seemingly in control of what were once trusted media information sources of the United States. Our time has been defining itself an the Era of Propaganda, when treachery has become fashionable behavior among citizens of our own country, so naturally LDS leadership has begun to lead their flock to respect and even conform to this trend. A wicked country seems endangered by internal strife as a result of the actions of current media and journalistic representatives. Satan seeks to use his servants to weaken and divide the country so that it will eventually be conquered and all that is left is a hope that God will be merciful in how He deals with our people and preserve the sacred and honorable American values once taught. "But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say: Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer; yea, he will say: Walk after the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your heart desireth—and if a man shall come among you and say this, ye will receive him, and say that he is a prophet. Yea, ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him of your substance; ye will give unto him of your gold, and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly apparel; and because he speaketh flattering words unto you, and he saith that all is well, then ye will not find fault with him. O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and ye stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light? Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against you; behold, he hath cursed the land because of your iniquity. And behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them." (Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:27 - 31) Much attention is being given of late of the methods of selection of LDS leaders, usually from among the wealthy and esteemed of the world, and from these men it is assumed by all faithful LDS members that all future prophets will emerge, or, upon being called, the LDS leaders have been referred to as "prophets" as soon as they have been ordained as Church leaders. The LDS Church proudly boasts of its capabilities to reach the entire world, yet it seems incapable of finding a single individual to appoint to leadership capable of delivering an inspired sermon. The Church seems incapable of producing men who can speak spiritual words that will nourish people seeking comfort from the Lord. The stones delivered in place of spiritually nourishing bread on a regular basis indicate despite their best efforts, the LDS Gentiles have lost their spirituality and the fulness of the Gospel is being taken to the American Indians. With all of the benefits of technology and access to a large portion of the world’s population, the LDS Church leadership is nonetheless still unable to find a man in the world to deliver an inspired sermon which will lift up the sick the poor and afflicted and downtrodden people who yearn for God’s deliverance. For while the LDS Church has surely grown in membership to unprecedented levels, the LDS people have lost the spirit of the Lord and nary a one seems to be found by church leaders in the entire Church that can communicate the plain and simple message and words that the Lord would wish to be preached to comfort His people. "We have heard men who hold the priesthood remark that they would do anything they were told to do by those who preside over them [even] if they knew it was wrong; but such obedience as this is worse than folly to us; it is slavery in the extreme; and the man who would thus willingly degrade himself, should not claim a rank among intelligent beings, until he turns from his folly. A man of God would despise the idea. Others, in the extreme exercise of their almighty authority have taught that such obedience was necessary, and that no matter what the saints were told to do by their presidents they should do it without any questions. When Elders of Israel will so far indulge in these extreme notions of obedience as to teach them to the people, it is generally because they have it in their hearts to do wrong themselves." (Excerpt of words of Joseph Smith, Millennial Star, Vol 14, Number 38) Works are underway in the Church to teach church members to place loyalty to America secondary to loyalty to all nations of the world. Church publications increasingly teach Church members to give respect and provide nurturing to those whose views are treacherously anti-American, those who cry America is at fault when engaging the enemies of freedom. American figures who express patriotic views are labeled "extremist" and Church members who once took it for granted that as LDS Church members they were some of the most patriotic Americans in the land are now being labeled "extremists" if their expressed support of American soldiers and American causes abroad are deemed too one sided, and loyal church members are taught to give differing points of view on America’s struggles equal opportunity even if they undermine the well being of defenders of America’s liberties and freedom and give aid to America’s enemies abroad. For the "new" LDS Church seeks to be a "world" church, with world views and differing points of view on American wars must be given nurture, even if they if they carry the slanderous tones of treason against America and endangerment to her soldiers. In time of war you are to be loyal to the commander in Chief and troops and are not neutral in matters of defending America through brave and noble sacrifices of American soldiers and their families. Editorials in LDS Church publications are promoting to give aid and comfort to the enemy by providing haven for those who seek to lead a betrayal of America. Overseas brave soldiers sacrifice their lives to preserve freedom, and it is a somber time for those who comprehend the threat to our country and those who lead it, while at home critics have been flushed out of the woodwork to aid and abet the enemy with a fierce determination to fracture and divide public opinion of the American public by sabotaging our wartime efforts. At stake is the future of America’s survival and the cause of freedom. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. (New Testament, Luke 11:35) LDS Mormons who once found security in heartfelt declarations of patriotism for American values and interests that put the well being of America first, are now unwittingly feeling subtle but forceful pressure to harbor or at least respect as equal opposing treasonous points of views against America herself, --- should they wish to conform to the modern worldly views that are now becoming prevalent in today’s LDS Church. A mere two decades ago, approximately the entire membership of the LDS Church woke up one morning all having betrayed the foundations of the Mormon religion and Joseph Smith by sustaining and upholding Church leaders dealings which dignified and validated the works of noted criminal forger Mark Hofmann. The path which led Mormons to betray their own religion and heritage is now leading the way to become traitors to America itself. Those values once held sacred as being loyal patriotic Americans are now quickly being swept away and Mormons will awake one morning in the near future having realized that as they once were quick in following their Church leaders in betraying the foundations of the Mormon religion and Joseph Smith, they will have followed the same course to become traitors to America itself in the name of conforming to worldly definitions and standards for their churchThe whims and desires of what mankind desires are vulnerable to the enticings of Satan, and are therefore are most often in direct opposition to the Word of the Lord. In this foretold time of Satan’s rule over mankind, society has in many ways supplanted that wisdom that was once established of God with that reasoning which is vile and contemptible. Those teachings built up in the modern LDS Church were dated for recent trends only and have now become obsolete, and now an entire LDS people drifts aimlessly through the mire of mangled interpretations of plain scripture so that even the simplest scriptures are thrown into a state of confusion through the latest official teachings and interpretations. In an attempt to organize teachings honoring their new pact, Church members now must add "parallel", "metaphorical," symbolic" and "allegorical" ways of interpreting plain and simple Book of Mormon scriptures, so that the inspirational beauty of the message and simple interpretations are transformed into a hideous exercise in monotony and mundane drudgery that only the those seeking sanctimonious advantage have motive to understand modern scripture interpretations. Only minute portions of the original meaning are left to be understood by the general membership. "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock." (Old Testament | Ezekiel 34:2 - 3) When the Gospel was once again restored to the earth through the Lord’s prophet Joseph Smith, many joined the Mormon Church, eager to learn the will of God through the teachings of His Prophet. Today, those teachings of Joseph Smith are hated not only by many in the world but most Mormon Church members themselves, although many Christian ministers have not been hesitant to steal and use as their own those same teachings which suit their fancy. Joseph Smith’s reaction to the LDS Church ways could be no different than that of Moses when he returned from Mt. Sinai and found the Israelites in a condition of depravity and wickedness - there is no difference between the current Mormon people and the early Israelites who rebelled against the teachings of God when Moses was away for a short time, other than that the wickedness among today’s Mormons has been festering for years and generations, rather than days and weeks. The business elements controlling the modern Mormon Church now show signs of emerging in media announcements in another sign that Mormons seek to trust the arm of flesh before seeking the will of the Lord. The name of the Lord who the Church bears is constantly being blasphemed in irreverent media ads and the path towards complete betrayal of the Book of Mormon is being accelerated by handing over publishing rights to the Book of Mormon to large publishing companies who have motives only for profit, profiting off the word of the Lord, selling the words of God with the express purpose of gaining money, and LDS leaders’ actions show they are on a pathway which will lead them to relinquish more and more of the teaching of the Book of Mormon to those anti-Mormons who hate the message of the Book of Mormon. In addition, much, but not all, of the original spiritually uplifting Mormon Church music has been gradually removed and replaced with simpler mournful hymns devoid of spiritual value, because there must be some original music retained to keep the agenda from becoming too obvious. The Mormon Religion, or more appropriately, the Church of Jesus Christ, has existed since the beginning of the world. The current dispensation of the Church of Jesus Christ is composed of Latter-day Saints, because this is the last days, and the final time the Church is to be restored again on the Earth. It is the same religion which Adam had, which Noah, and Moses and countless other saints and prophets had. It is the same religion which is continually restored, and then lost again due to the wickedness and free-agency of man. The Mormon religion is a restoration of the Church which Jesus Christ and His Apostles organized in Jerusalem two thousand years ago; which was destroyed and lost during the dark ages of Medieval Europe. It is the mission of Satan to destroy the religion of Christ whenever and wherever it appears. It would be naive to think that Satan would not focus his efforts to dilute and destroy the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as he had successfully eliminated it every other time it has appeared on the earth. It would be naive to think the works of Satan do not involve a cunningness to infiltrate and plant craftily constructed deceptions within the church itself to delude Latter-day Saints. It is naive to think that the Lord would take away the free agency of the Saints to follow the master who they will to serve, for to do so would be the plan of the devil, who was cast out of the heavens for the very reason that he wanted to take away the free agency of men. It would be naive to think the Lord would suddenly change unalterable truths of requirements for free-agency in the world’s history and then offer unconditional protection to the evils of the world simply for being members of the Latter-day Saint Church in a day when it appears no LDS Leader or Church member can demonstrate a rational understanding or interpretation of their very own professed belief in the Book of Mormon. The Lord has given us much knowledge and insight given the trials pertaining to His vineyard, the Mormon Church: " Behold, here is wisdom concerning the children of Zion, even many, but not all; they were found transgressors, therefore they must needs be chastened— He that exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that abaseth himself shall be exalted. And now, I will show unto you a parable, that you may know my will concerning the redemption of Zion. A certain nobleman had a spot of land, very choice; and he said unto his servants: Go ye unto my vineyard, even upon this very choice piece of land, and plant twelve olive–trees; And set watchmen round about them, and build a tower, that one may overlook the land round about, to be a watchman upon the tower, that mine olive–trees may not be broken down when the enemy shall come to spoil and take upon themselves the fruit of my vineyard. "Now, the servants of the nobleman went and did as their lord commanded them, and planted the olive–trees, and built a hedge round about, and set watchmen, and began to build a tower. And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves: And what need hath my lord of this tower? And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves: What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace? Might not this money be given to the exchangers? For there is no need of these things. And while they were at variance one with another they became very slothful, and they hearkened not unto the commandments of their lord. And the enemy came by night, and broke down the hedge; and the servants of the nobleman arose and were affrighted, and fled; and the enemy destroyed their works, and broke down the olive–trees. Now, behold, the nobleman, the lord of the vineyard, called upon his servants, and said unto them, Why! what is the cause of this great evil? Ought ye not to have done even as I commanded you, and—after ye had planted the vineyard, and built the hedge round about, and set watchmen upon the walls thereof—built the tower also, and set a watchman upon the tower, and watched for my vineyard, and not have fallen asleep, lest the enemy should come upon you? "And behold, the watchman upon the tower would have seen the enemy while he was yet afar off; and then ye could have made ready and kept the enemy from breaking down the hedge thereof, and saved my vineyard from the hands of the destroyer. And the lord of the vineyard said unto one of his servants: Go and gather together the residue of my servants, and take all the strength of mine house, which are my warriors, my young men, and they that are of middle age also among all my servants, who are the strength of mine house, save those only whom I have appointed to tarry; And go ye straightway unto the land of my vineyard, and redeem my vineyard; for it is mine; I have bought it with money. Therefore, get ye straightway unto my land; break down the walls of mine enemies; throw down their tower, and scatter their watchmen. And inasmuch as they gather together against you, avenge me of mine enemies, that by and by I may come with the residue of mine house and possess the land. "And the servant said unto his lord: When shall these things be? And he said unto his servant: When I will; go ye straightway, and do all things whatsoever I have commanded you; And this shall be my seal and blessing upon you—a faithful and wise steward in the midst of mine house, a ruler in my kingdom. And his servant went straightway, and did all things whatsoever his lord commanded him; and after many days all things were fulfilled. Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are willing to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation— That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must needs be fulfilled. "Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be; While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire. Therefore, a commandment I give unto all the churches, that they shall continue to gather together unto the places which I have appointed. Nevertheless, as I have said unto you in a former commandment, let not your gathering be in haste, nor by flight; but let all things be prepared before you." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 101:41 - 68) The tragedy now exists of the church of the Lord having been betrayed, torn down from within, the sheep have been scattered and the hedges broken down, for those appointed watchmen have slept and have allowed the works of the devil to take root. Those who have inherited authority over the Church have rejected the Lord and have made a pact with death and Hell. It would be naive to think the Lord would ever command His people to put all trust for their salvations into the hands of a weak mortal man in such conditions, handed the title of "prophet" only through succession, subject to the same overwhelming temptations to yield to the pressures of the world as any other weak human being. Although people of American Indian descent now comprise a large percentage of official Church membership, efforts to reach the covenant American Indian people and inform them of their many promised blessing to inherit the Americas and the kingdom of God have all but been extinguished in today’s modern Mormon Church. Many House of Israel American Indians are of the poor meek and humble people, and after having been despised and downtrodden by the Gentiles, even those particular Gentiles controlling the LDS Church. They may not have sufficient means to meet tithing demands placed on all Church members required to receive benefits of Church membership. The money elements which translate into power in today’s LDS Church have little interest in a people who may not be rich in worldly wealth, and to be rich with the Spirit of the Lord is no longer valued in the modern Mormon Church. Like being led astray with Mark Hofmann, Mormons will awake one day in the near future realizing they have become traitors to their own country and there is no point of return to those values once held dear, only this time the whole world will know of their transgression, and though the pressure to conform now is great within the Church, it will one day no longer be possible to be covered up. "But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God. Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil." (Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:13 - 14) In the pending meltdown of the present organization and leadership of the LDS Church, there will be a void left that can only be filled with Americans who carry the blood of the House of Israel, the people commonly referred to as American Indians. It will be a time of great peril and vulnerability among the LDS people, and Mormon religion will only be saved if American Indians unite to embrace the religion of their ancestors, the true Mormon religion as taught by Joseph Smith. In a ruse of monumental proportions that is coming to light, LDS Church members are slowly discovering that those in control of their church not only do not share those beliefs with them once taken for granted as "Mormon" beliefs, LDS leadership does not even share those beliefs Mormons hold as patriotic and American. Many of them will go against their better instincts to be loyal as true Mormons and patriotic Americans, and will instead continue to blindly follow leaders, even if the destination is Hell itself. As the sinister views held by those controlling the LDS Church begin to show their sinister face as Church publications continue toward a trend of defaming and destroying the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, and American values themselves, it is becoming evident to the world that the worldly organization built up by modern LDS Church leaders doesn’t suscribe to the principles of Freedom or free agency; therefore, the pathway carved for the church to follow deviates from that which Americans loyal to patriotic principles that America was founded on would choose to follow. The separation of the wheat and tares among the LDS people has begun. "...the day shall come for Israel to be restored, for God will not forget them. They are descendants of the tribe of Joseph, and consequently they are numbered with the people of the covenant. God will remember the covenant which he made with our ancient fathers. These Lamanites, these American Indians, will come to the knowledge of the covenant, and they will arise and will build upon the face of this land a magnificent city called Jerusalem, after the pattern and in the same manner that the Jews will build old Jerusalem. That is what the Lamanites will do, and we will go and help them too, for it is predicted in the Book of Mormon that when this work should come forth, when the time fully arrives for the redemption of this small remnant of the house of Joseph, "As many of the Gentiles as will believe, they shall assist my people, who are a remnant of the house of Israel, that they may build up on the face of this land a city that shall be called the New Jerusalem, and then, behold, the powers of heaven shall come down and be in the midst of this people, and I also will be in your midst." 2/11/1872 JD, 14:411 Orson Pratt It’s very important that the LDS people realize that they are commanded to awake to their awful situation as they have been commanded by scriptures such as the Book of Ether (8:23). The future eternity of LDS people especially, is at Stake. Those who are not the American Indian House of Israel, particularly the Gentiles that comprise most of today’’s LDS Church, are warned to beware of the secret combinations which will come among them and threaten everyone’’s freedom. Our people in this land are warned that the secret combination should not get above them, but it is obvious that this has in fact taken over among the LDS Church through actions of their leaders in recent years. "Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain——and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up. For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning. Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved." (Book of Mormon | Ether 8:23 - 26) "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink." (Matthew 25:41 - 42) Now is time for all true Mormons to come to the defense of the Mormon religion. The Cry From the Dust Newsletters and websites have been like a voice in the wilderness to defend the truth of God. We ask and pray that sincere Mormons everywhere will keep a watchful eye on the Apostates running the LDS Church to make sure organizations connected to the LDS Church do not attempt to forge or alter historical documents in order to cover their tracks and to hide the great evils that have already been perpetuated on true Mormons and true Mormon history. It is our humble prayer that a righteous people will arise in our nation that will put on the mantle eschewed by the LDS leaders and LDS people. It is our humble prayer that a Mormon people will rise up once again and valiantly defend the Mormon religion. The Book of Mormon foretells that it will be the American Indian people that will fulfill the prophecy to return to God and save the life that is still alive in the roots of the Mormon Church. It is vitally important that there be a people to keep the sacred meaning of the Book of the Mormon accurate regarding the true message of the Book of Mormon. It is very important and urgent for all Lamanites to unite and come to the defense of the Mormon religion to help preserve and spread the great message of the Lord to them, that He intends to honor a tremendous covenant He made with their ancestors to restore their lands and bestow countless blessings upon them. "Intellectuals" within the current LDS Church seek to destroy the precious truths of American Israelite ancestors. It took tremendous sacrifices on the part of Joseph Smith and other early Mormons to establish the Mormon religion, and now evil people who have taken over the Mormon Church seek to erase all that is sacred and precious in the Mormon religion. The Church of God is not a plaything. One man standing with God for the true Mormon religion constitutes a majority. Most LDS people claim to believe that the restored Gospel through Joseph Smith is the same preached by Christ’s apostles of the Bible. When that time comes that the LDS faithful come face to face with and acknowledge that there has been a great apostasy among the Saints as foretold in scripture, this event where one righteous man will have difficulty finding any others, which teaching will they then quote to excuse themselves? "I SAY then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal." (New Testament | Romans 11:1 - 4) Joseph Smith forewarned that if the Mormons wouldn’t serve God, God would raise up a people who would, that He would have a people who would serve Him in these last days, but Joseph Smith feared that men would seek to justify themselves from one step to another until they were clear down to hell. It is evident that what Joseph Smith feared could happen, is happening; it is evident LDS people are doing that now, such as what occurred with Hofmann and works of the current LDS Church in changing the Book of Mormon. We are witnessing the literal fulfillment of Book of Mormon prophecies that predict the Gospel would be taken from the LDS Gentile people and given to the American Indians. The power of God now rests with the House of Israel American Indian people, having been taken away from the LDS Gentile people currently in control of the Mormon Church. The Lord promises the American Indian people the Gentiles would not have power over them during this present time( 3Nephi 16:10-12). The recent announcement that the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, a division of the National Archives will work with the LDS Church to compile records of Joseph Smith might have been welcome news in an era long past: " (National Historical Publications and Records Commission) has endorsed an ongoing project sponsored by the Joseph F. Smith Institute at Brigham Young University. In conjunction with the archives of the LDS Church, the institute is compiling more than 5,000 documents pertinent to Smith, including personal correspondence, legal documents and revelations the early LDS Church leader recorded."While there may not a reason at this time to question the dignity and fairness of organizations associated with the National Archives, there is strong precedent to question the motives and dignity of any organization representing the modern Mormon Church; therefore anyone who considers themself a Mormon who is sincere and faithful to their religion must be on guard of evil men seeking to use the Mormon Church to disparage Mormon History and the Prophet Joseph Smith. Although once it could be taken for granted that leaders of the LDS Church and its affiliated organizations could be trusted to maintain a level of integrity and honesty, recent patterns indicate that the LDS Church in its present condition cannot be trusted with anything of sacred importance to preserving authentic history of the Mormon religion. As long as the LDS Church has not repented of their abominable mistakes, they cannot be trusted with anything pertaining to the true Mormon religion and true Mormon history. Any writing on Joseph Smith can only be done from a spiritual and humble perspective, not those so-called "scholarly" endeavors that Mormons feel it is necessary to give credence to the versions of mobocrats and murderers. It cannot ever be taken for granted that the current LDS leaders have the integrity to be honest in their research and the sacred truths entrusted to them at this point in time. The time will shortly come that the Lord will set His Church in order with swift and severe judgement reaped upon those who have crucified the Mormon religion in the same spirit that the Jews crucified their King and Savior. Most recent scholarly efforts emanating from LDS people and the official Church have been disastrous to the Mormon religion and have misled many to take the road towards apostasy. Even what could once be trusted as a noble and dignified endeavor now must be watched with a wary eye. All true Mormons must come to terms with the reality that the apostates who have attained high positions in the LDS Church threaten to destroy the religion through any sinister means at their disposal and they seek to fool even the very elect through the most devious means possible. Anyone who considers themselves to be a true Mormon has a duty to lift their voices in defense of the true Mormon religion should it come to their attention that an apostasy has taken place in significant places of the LDS Church which threaten to destroy the Mormon religion. By choosing to remain asleep, LDS people will soon be under the complete power of Satan and evil doers of society because they will not be valiant for truth, and soon the devil seals them his. We pray that the National Archives will maintain objectivity in regards to the honorable records of Joseph Smith and be on guard against the cunning chicanery emanating from high places in the LDS Church, which attempt to disparage, alter, and distort true Mormon History. "Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be idle but labor with your might——Lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, proclaiming the truth according to the revelations and commandments which I have given you." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 75:3 - 4) "...then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you——yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel." (Book of Mormon | Ether 4:15) It is important for American Indian Israelites to come and save the Mormon religion; it is vital for all true Mormons to demand that those in control of the LDS Church rectify the wrongs and distortions and cunning deceptions which have been wrought upon it, and which are designed to destroy the sacred religion of ancient American Indian ancestors. As a cry from the dust these ancients surround their descendants with pleas to come to the Savior, only through repentance can anyone escape the approaching judgements. "My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." (Old Testament | Proverbs 3:11 - 12) Current LDS leaders and scholars seek to destroy the work of the Lord so that He will not remember His covenant with the American Indians, and they will not recognize a true religion to come to, to restore them to their blessings and their lands, the continents of North and South America. The deadly attack of changing and distorting gospel truths emanating from within LDS Church hierarchy -which tries to appear to be founded in the Mormon religion -is worse than the all out attacks from open anti-Mormon sources, as the openly dishonest accusations of anti-Mormons are easily refuted for the lies they originate from. "Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price. Behold, hath he commanded any that they should depart out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance. Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden." (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 26:25 - 28) The American Indian Israelites are prophesied to come into the Mormon Church to strengthen what little is still left in the roots and save what life is left of the Mormon Church. The present LDS Gentiles controlling the Church have lost their spirituality, and it has been taken to the Lamanites instead, as foretold in scriptures. The Israelite American Indians must hold out against the evil mind control that has eliminated spirituality and is now taking away the freedom of the Gentiles. It is now only the American Indian House of Israel Lamanites who have not been completely taken over, and are the last remaining hope to save the Mormon religion; it is with the American Indian Israelites where the power of the Lord now resides. The time of the fulfilling of the scriptures has begun where the riches of the LDS Church Gentiles consecrated by the Lord for the meek and poor of His flock are to be given to the meek and poor American Indians. Those House of Israel American Indians are foretold that they will assert their rightful place in the Mormon Church and redeem that which has been corrupted by those currently controlling the LDS Church. How better for Satan to destroy the truth but to use evil men planted within the Church to distort those teachings and promises from God, by using tares clothed in hypocrisy from within the Church to promote falsehood and hide the glorious future that awaits American Indian people of this generation? How can any member of the LDS Church imagine that American Indian ancestors prayed and sacrificed for their sacred covenant and true church to be established for the soft and insincere weak-minded LDS hypocrites of this generation instead of their own descendants, the American Indian Israelites? Those who are not Jewish or American Indian are identified with the "gentiles" any time this term is used in the Book of Mormon, confirmed by Joseph Smith throughout his teachings and in his dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple D & C 109:60. According to Orson Pratt and the other early Church leaders, there is hope for any "gentile" member to be numbered with God’s people, but only if they repent of their sins. This belief and purpose of the Mormon Church was understood by all Mormon leaders since it was re-established on this continent. "And now, behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord? Who can deny his sayings? Who will rise up against the almighty power of the Lord? Who will despise the works of the Lord? Who will despise the children of Christ? Behold, all ye who are despisers of the works of the Lord, for ye shall wonder and perish." (Book of Mormon | Mormon 9:26) "Now, I say unto you, and what I say unto you, I say unto all the Twelve: Arise and gird up your loins, take up your cross, follow me, and feed my sheep. Exalt not yourselves; rebel not against my servant Joseph; for verily I say unto you, I am with him, and my hand shall be over him; and the keys which I have given unto him, and also to youward, shall not be taken from him till I come." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 112:14 - 15) This passage refers to Joseph Smith, a man they claim to uphold, but a man whose teachings the LDS leaders secretly detest, and a man they would seek to destroy if given the opportunity of being confronted with him face to face today. Why is it that those who control the Mormon Church are making an all out effort to distort and destroy the teachings of Joseph Smith while pretending to honor him? The leaders of the LDS Church today have become quite skilled in only taking stands on that which they will have the popular backing of most of the people; by skillfully catering to to desires and whims of society in general, they have adeptly avoided the trials of persecution the early Saints suffered. Yet today’s LDS people and their leaders are well pleased to take the good that was created by the price paid by the early Church members, and reap the spoils, even though they detest the principles the early Saints stood for and gave their lives for. Christ commands that the gospel knowledge necessary for salvation be fed to the "sheep", and warns of severe penalties for those in positions of authority who disobey Him. It is a serious matter to serve the Gospel of Christ and spread the true message, as in the words of Paul, "...there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." (New Testament | Galatians 1:7 - 12) "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."(New Testament | Matthew 5:11 - 13) "GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations." (Old Testament | Psalms 82:1 - 8) Most people today have a yearning for spiritual nourishment but cannot find spiritual leaders in their churches or the world to fulfill their needs and provide the desired knowledge for salvation. When the Gospel is taught and preached in today’s world it is only occurring among the poor and meek and humble, unnoticed by today’s vain religious leaders of worldly prominence. Christ has commanded those who are in a position to take His name upon themselves and to whom hold offices of authority to "feed my sheep", such as was told to Peter in the New Testament: " Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." (New Testament | John 21:17) The time has come when the LDS Church members will soon have to face up to whether they really believe in the true Mormon religion established by Joseph Smith. The great test predicted by Heber C. Kimball has arrived. He briefly went white in the face as he spoke the following: "...look for the great sieve, for there will be a Great Sifting Time, and many will fall; for I say unto you, there is a test, a Test, A TEST coming, and who will be able to stand? BUT IT IS ONLY THOSE THAT KNOW FOR THEMSELVES THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST THAT CAN STAND." "If you don’t know then you need to get on your knees until you do." His wife asked him, "What is the test?" He said, "I don’’t know, but the Church has a close place to pass through, but it will come through." Heber C. Kimball also prophesied: "This Church has before it many close places which it will have to pass before the work of God is crowned with glory. The difficulties will be of such a character that the man or woman who does not possess a personal knowledge or witness will fall. If you have not got this testimony, you must live right and call upon the Lord, and cease not until you obtain it. "Remember these sayings: The time will come when no man will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. If you do not have the knowledge that Jesus is the Christ, how can you stand?" Conf. Report, Apr. 1906, 74-77 (Stated in 1867) "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." (New Testament | Matthew 5:20)"GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations."

(New Testament | Matthew 5:20)"And now when ye talk, ye say: If our days had been in the days of our fathers of old, we would not have slain the prophets; we would not have stoned them, and cast them out. Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are angry with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him; yea, you will say that he is a false prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he testifieth that your deeds are evil. (Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:25 - 26) All prominent preachers of the LDS Church and also of the world for that matter, impart only of stones and of their bitter fruits to feed the sheep of the world in our times, teaching only small and simple portions of the Gospel truthfully, while ignoring the Lord’’s work as a whole. Whether they care to admit it or not, all religious preachers and leaders of the world have been tested by the Prophet Joseph Smith. Few if any exist who have not heard of Joseph Smith and had the opportunity to learn of his teachings. Many have rejected him from what they have heard, but they break the Lord’’s commandments by bearing false witness, for all works which have been craftily constructed to destroy Joseph Smith have been built on lies and deceptions. Therefore many choose to slander the name of God’’s Holy Prophet rather than fairly examine his works, for they only have the capacity to judge a man by what is in their own hearts, and according to their own selfish and envious desires do they understand the thought processes of the human condition; all who do not preach the same Gospel as Joseph Smith also bear false witness against him. Because no man has ever been able to measure up to Joseph Smith, the world has chosen to slander and bear false witness against him, and must repent to be saved in the kingdom of heaven for consciously breaking this most basic of commandments. Mormon, Chapter 8 is clearly written for Mormons of today: "Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing. And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts. For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted. "O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers,(the current LDS people) who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies——because of the praise of the world? Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not? Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads? Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you; and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer."(Mormon 8:35-41) "And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches——yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them. But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever——yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints." (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:41 - 43) "Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm," (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 28:31) "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." (Old Testament | Isaiah 5:13 - 14) "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (New Testament | Revelation 13:7 - 8) "For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good. And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well——and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell." (Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 28:20-21) Apostle Ezra Taft Benson stressed in a sermon that this passage of 2 Nephi, 28 was referring to today’s Mormons. Joseph Fielding Smith referred to the 3rd Chapter of Isaiah, and said that it was meant for the LDS people of today. A pacified people placing complete trust in sweet but sickly teachings of modern Church leaders do not want to be disturbed. In prosperous times the LDS people have little desire or need for spiritual and have placed complete trust in the arm of flesh. In the perilous times of judgement that lay ahead for our world a complete trust and faith in their mortal leaders leaves most Church members feeling safe and secure, but with an absence of spirituality in their leaders, what will be left to fall back on for members of the LDS faith on the day they wake up to the fact that everyone is completely on their own to find their way? What will be left to fall back on when they realize that the Spirit of the Lord has been withdrawn from the Gentile portion currently in control of the LDS Church and transferred to the House of Israel Lamanite people? At what point will it be too late for anyone to repent? The Lord has promised to come "as a thief in the night," which means most will not realize that the Lord has come at the time it has occurred. "For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?" (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 5:13) "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him... And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." (New Testament | Matthew 25:1 - 13) "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:" (Old Testament | Isaiah 3:12 - 16) Particularly among the LDS people it should be completely obvious that the LDS leaders have lost their spirituality. They should realize that Satan has taken hold and now rules the LDS people as prophesied in passages quoted here, yet few seem to speak out against the great evils currently transpiring among the LDS people, in defense of the Lord’s true religion. "Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. (New Testament | Matthew 21:33 - 35) JOSEPH SMITH HOLDS KEYS IN HIS LIFE AND LIFE TO COME "The keys of this Priesthood were bestowed never more to be taken from the earth; hence, in the revelation I have read, provision was made by the Lord that Joseph, in case he should fall, should ordain another in his stead, and he should have authority only to lay hands on and set apart some one to act in his place, in case he should prove unworthy. Thus, even from the beginning, the Lord seems to have held constantly before him the possibility of his(or any mortal man’s) falling away. He was a young man, and like every man, he was apt to get lifted up in the pride of his heart; therefore, God reminded him that he only held the keys as long as he should be faithful to the truth. But in a subsequent revelation, the Lord informed him that he should hold the keys in this life and in the life to come, and they should never be taken from him." "Hurry up the work, brethren," he used to say, "let us finish the temple; the Lord has a great endowment in store for you, and I am anxious that the brethren should have their endowments and receive the fullness of the Priesthood." He urged the Saints forward continually, preaching unto them the importance of completing that building, so that therein the ordinances of life and salvation might be administered to the whole people, but especially to the quorums of the holy Priesthood; "then," said he, "the Kingdom will be established, and I do not care what shall become of me." These were his expressions oft repeated in the congregations of the Saints, telling the brethren and sisters of the Church, and the world that he rolled the Kingdom on to the Twelve, and they would have to round up their shoulders and bear it off, as he was going to rest for awhile, and many other expressions of a like nature, the full meaning of which the Saints did not realize at the time. George Q. Cannon, 13:45 (1869) "Albeit, in these days of the greater power of Satan among men, multitudes there are who are caught in the strong delusion, that a mental self_denial of Sin, will have the effect of cleansing the soul and washing men white within. But I say unto you, that no man is able to silence or deny away forever, the conscience of the soul, by his own power or by the will of another; but only for the brief moment wherein the arch_deceiver is permitted to exercise his power to bind the minds of men." When the Lord sends a prophet to the world it is to stand against evil wherever it exists and preach repentance, for if the people are truly righteous what need have they for a prophet? And if the prophet offers weaker rebukes against evil than the efforts of an average simple Christian preacher, what purpose does he really serve in his efforts? Would the Lord ever send a prophet to offer weak, simple messages of the Gospel when numerous Christian ministers offer the same simplified teachings, except only stronger? If a prophet offers sermons of mostly flattery to the people rather than stern admonitions to learn the fulness of the Gospel and its commandments, what better opportunity will ever again present itself to teach true Gospel principles? If there is a need for a voice to preach in the wilderness, yet that voice is no different than the wilderness itself, what would be the point to have the voice of warning in the first place? Should not a prophet have more knowledge of Gospel principles than simple laymen Christian preachers? At what point should a prophet in the LDS Church begin to let his light show forth and teach Gospel principles that the whole Christian world doesn’t know already? If a prophet truly is filled with the spirit of the Lord, why would he fear and shun the Words of God when they offer a message of sharp rebuke to his people to turn back to the teachings of God and instead supplant them with a flattery and sweetness that pacifies and makes the spirit sick instead of repentant, when there is so much obvious need for the flock of the Church and the world to sufficiently humble themselves to repent?"For they were set to be a light unto the world, and to be the saviors of men; And inasmuch as they are not the saviors of men, they are as salt that has lost its savor, and is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 103:9 - 10) "Behold, ye know that my coming is at the door and ye look for a prophet. Verily, I say unto you, at the door of the tabernacle of Zion have I laid a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. Will you bring into her gates the blindness that fell upon Judah? You have brought an evil report. One has lied against me, and a whole company have believed the lie. You have been tale_bearers against me. Yea, from a distance, and from afar off, you have borne a false witness against me. From the north you have lied, and out of the earth you have lied; even out of the very ground, you have lied against me, saith the Lord. Lo, these many years you have lied. Yet, I would not speak. I did not answer. I would not suffer my silence to be broken; that my people might fill up their cup to the full; that I might deal with them..." (First Message, 15:6-8) "But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God. Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil." (Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:13 - 14) "Behold, I was about to write the names of those who were never to taste of death, but the Lord forbade; therefore I write them not, for they are hid from the world. But behold, I have seen them, and they have ministered unto me. And behold they will be among the Gentiles, and the Gentiles shall know them not. They will also be among the Jews, and the Jews shall know them not. And it shall come to pass, when the Lord seeth fit in his wisdom that they shall minister unto all the scattered tribes of Israel, and unto all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, and shall bring out of them unto Jesus many souls, that their desire may be fulfilled, and also because of the convincing power of God which is in them. And they are as the angels of God, and if they shall pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus they can show themselves unto whatsoever man it seemeth them good. Therefore, great and marvelous works shall be wrought by them, before the great and coming day when all people must surely stand before the judgment–seat of Christ; Yea even among the Gentiles shall there be a great and marvelous work wrought by them, before that judgment day. And if ye had all the scriptures which give an account of all the marvelous works of Christ, ye would, according to the words of Christ, know that these things must surely come." If a servant is sent to the husbandmen of the Lord’s vineyard as in the parable of the husbandmen, when they reject such a servant it is very serious. Like in the parable, when the Lord sends a messenger to the pious and proud LDS Leadership, they seek to destroy that servant sent by the Lord. It is undeniable that the Lord has left select translated servants on the earth to play a significant role in gathering the Saints for our times, since the time the Lord Himself lived as a mortal on the earth, and LDS people must acknowledge these prophecies in scripture. To reject and not be receptive to the works of one of those the Lord has left on the earth to bring many souls is a serious offense to the Lord, as if He Himself had been trampled under the feet of men. "And wo be unto him that will not hearken unto the words of Jesus, and also to them whom he hath chosen and sent among them; for whoso receiveth not the words of Jesus and the words of those whom he hath sent receiveth not him; and therefore he will not receive them at the last day; And it would be better for them if they had not been born. For do ye suppose that ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God, who hath been trampled under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come?" (Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 28: 35) When the wicked rule, the people mourn. Our nation should seek only after one hundred percent truth if our people are to survive in the fragile and perilous threats of the twenty first century. The modern LDS Church, with access to the pure Gospel taught by Joseph Smith, had an obligation but failed to be a guiding light of truth not only to LDS Church members, but also for the safety and welfare of the nation and world. The world depends on the fact that somewhere a people must exist on the planet who are devoted to the truth and truthful knowledge of all things, otherwise darkness overtakes the human condition. It is imperative that truth be protected pertaining to operations of our Church and government, in the daily operation and running of a nation established and founded under God. A true Saint today awakens to the awful reality that the true religion of God has been slowly put to sleep and destroyed from within the Church. Church leaders now find themselves in a quandary that only offers them two choices: (1) Admit errors and try to correct the many wrongs they have presided over or (2)make a firm commitment to a pact made with death and Hell as described in Isaiah, Chapter 28...a course of action which requires that authentic history be distorted and rewritten if true past American heroes are to continue to be revered, for the conflicting portraits of leaders of today must be reconciled if the people are to understand the contradictions between actual history and revised history. The Mormon People must be continually re-convinced to follow the leaders without question or reservation and therefore must disregard history to prevent them from realizing their leaders have led them to the awful grasp of the chains at the brink of Hell. Either portray the valiant saints and patriots as ignorant and uneducated, therefore less intelligent than the leaders of today, or rewrite history to reconcile differences of today, or both. How can that which you love have grown from that which you hate? "Only those who presume to know, by reason of their fallible wisdom, when and how Christ will give revelation and prophecy reject it when it is plainly manifest before them. ... the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." "If they do not abide in Him, how can they expect Him to abide in them?" How can anyone who considers himself to be a true Mormon continue in the apathy of not understanding the very precious and plain things of the scriptures they claim to stand for? The Church is going through that close place predicted. In the LDS Church there is no apparent search for men who seek the Spirit of God, for with the Spirit of God comes that fountain of knowledge which will feed the sheep. The spirituality has been lost in the Mormon Church, and it is now given to Lamanites.
