We should not fear losing our place in the LDS synagogue or in losing LDS friends by not openly declaring the perilous reality of the LDS apostasy. God's true servants in every age have clearly illuminated the blood and sins of their generation WITHOUT MINCING WORDS. Moroni saw our Day and cried out against our apostasy. Nephi and Lehi were given to see and declare the same. The things that Samuel the Lamanite declared are more true about today's LDS than his own generation. That's why we have the book!! It shows the literal parallel and type of today's LDS apostasy compared with that of the Nephites particularly. If you cannot see this then you have missed the true message and warning of the Book of Mormon. And, as illuminated by Hugh Nibley, THE WHOLE CHURCH apostatized over 30 times in the Book of Mormon! Not just the members, mind you. When the Leaders shed no light and render no testimony they are as salt that has lost its savor and they are thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the foot of men! When THE LEADERS reject Joseph's doctrines and work, when THE LEADERS reject Christ and Zion, when THE LEADERS carry no torch of truth to light the way to Zion, THEN THEY ARE IN REBELLION TO GOD AND HIS PLAN. And so it is. They are about to be destroyed along with their corporate empire and the system of false worship that prevails among the LDS will be cast down.
When the LDS leadership embraces the United Nations, New World Order, government 'political correctness' and the ways and appetites of Babylon, then you can know that they are ripe for utter destruction. When they cast the righteous out from among them for their testimonies of truth, then they are also ripe for destruction (Alma 10:23, Helaman 13:14).
It is high time for people to take the rose colored glasses off and see that stroking and rendering fawning adulation upon Gordon B. Hinckley or any others who fight God is folly. They have no power in their priesthood to deliver the people during the time of tribulation which is soon to befall them. They will lie among the slain in the day of battle. They have rejected the fountain of righteousness and have played the harlot with the world. They love Satan more than God, they love the Telestial achievements and acquisitions and numbers to the extent that they do not need or desire the Terrestrial order! They have their reward! But the warning goes out that everyone and everything that is of a Telestial order will be swept away and consumed when the mighty judgments of an offended God descend upon this earth. Telestial is carnal, sensual and devilish. The LDS have built up a Telestial kingdom and have sought for the praise of the world and the riches and fineries of Babylon. Take a look brethren and sisters! Do you see it?
D&C 105:5 clearly states:
"And Zion cannot be built up unless it is by the principles of the law of the celestial kingdom; otherwise I cannot receive her unto myself."
Have the LDS leaders sought for and implemented Zion? Do they live the laws of plural marriage, consecration, gathering, proper Temple ordinances and coming out of the world? This is the dispensation of the Fullness of Times, not the "Halfness!"
I testify that the LDS Church is soon to be destroyed for her rebellion and all of her prophets and apostles are held accountable before God for their deception upon the LDS members and the world. They are insensible shepherds who do not take care of the flock. They are pastors who devour and feed upon the people. They mock God to His face. Soon will come the day when the retribution of the Lord will fall upon their great and spacious building and great will be the fall thereof. Hear it now, O faithful remnant! Seek no longer to uphold and justify the hands of robbers, whose hands are filled with blood! Come out from her and receive not of her plagues! Wake up to your awful situation!
It is my firm and unwavering testimony that God has rejected the LDS Church as a whole, from top to bottom. The whole head is sick and there is no table that is not filled with vomit. And now is the day of the calling out of the remnant of the righteous from within her ranks, even those who will take the Holy Spirit for their guide. Do not lament her, for she will not be reclaimed. Only the Elect by covenant will be awakened and spared at the hour of the Lord's visitation upon His house and upon a Godless nation.
God now calls His people by another name (Isaiah 65:15). The bride (Church) of Christ has gone out to Babylon and made herself a whore and broke her covenant.
I admonish you to stop excusing the LDS leadership in their wickedness and lack of true leadership. I declare unto you that the Emperor HAS NO CLOTHES! Stop parading him as if he does. Speak the truth and fear not the revilings of men.
This is the Spirit of the most high God that rests upon me this very day and this is my true and faithful witness to those who love the truth and have eyes to see and hearts that will be penetrated.
In the truth of Christ and under the stewardship of Joseph Smith, for whom I labor,
