I understand Kamala to be of Indian and African American descent.
Her name would imply other origins (similar to Barack Obama):

Why do I get the sense that we are going to get taken once again once they figure out how to get Trump out of the way....?
Having to put up with more of the deceptions and moral degradations that we had to from 2008-2016 is almost too much for me to consider...
Great stuff. I love guys like this that are passionate and spend their lives doing much good:

Enjoy!!
This is interesting stuff a friend of mine, Glen and I were talking about.
When it comes to prophecy, do NOT throw the baby out with the bathwater because there is some minor discrepancy with what is being said and what has happened so far. Just as with any prophecy, there is agency and things can change. Prophecy is murky, at best. Always go with the general thrust of the statements and go from there. Let the details alone for the most part. When several agree, take the average, so to speak.
Take it all with a grain of salt - but of interest to be sure:
There are 3 years of tribulation in America and
pre-tribulation signs leading up to the first year.
• Pre-tribulation: A financial disruption, and a civil war is over (3 months), a
1-2 year period of rebuilding begins, then sudden destruction comes.
• Year 1: Year of Plagues - Natural calamities begin this year (begin Jan-Mar). Comet hits the earth and two plagues have been released. The
month of March (into the next calendar year) is the CO.
• Year 2: Year of Internal Destruction - The third plague will be released
while in camp, mob rule, more calamities, federal government dissolves.
• Year 3: Year of External Destruction - Russia and China invades. Cities of
light called to go to MO. Lost 10 Tribes start to arrive.
------------------------
Pre-Tribulation Signs
• The apostasy in the church is increasing. It will reach nearly 50% in a short amount of
time. The indicators are: opposition to gay issues, and anti-Mormon materials rapidly
disseminated (conspiracy theories the brethren cannot satisfy)
• The hastening of the work continues. Missionaries will not be called home until the first
year of the tribulations.
• In the month of August, (no year given) a civil war will break out over the union contracts
not being honored in Chicago. It will spread over the whole US. Up to 20 million will be
killed over 5 months. It ends when TX drops a nuke into Detroit to stop it all. The
democratic party will no longer exist. No one will admit to being a member of that party
after the war. GOP will still exist. Independent American Party will arise (they will be
extremely conservative).
• The dollar will be devalued. The U.S. will return to the gold standard. After the Civil War
the schools will be privatized to save money to rebuild the economy. The intermountain
area will flourish as they managed to stay out of the civil war.
1st Twelve Months of Tribulation
• The missionaries are called home, and a 3 month period of destruction (Jan-Mar) all over the US
ushers in the beginning of the plague era. NY, Boston, Dallas, Washington State, CA , and Seattle
all face extreme calamity. Utah is still relatively safe. This is the start of FEMA camps, later to be
run by charities.
• The first of three plagues is released when a comet hits the earth. It is identified by having blue
skin with white spots. It will start on the east coast and will be recognized when it hits Indiana. It
will travel northerly to the west coast, down the coast line to the southerly south. There will be
30 million who die. ??
• There will be a 3 month break and plague #2 will break out. It will be a plague of fear. People will
randomly develop diseases and if you have faith, you will live through it. Approx. 50 million will
die. There will be a great silence for about 3 months.
• Society will rapidly decay. It will be an era of extreme mistrust.
• The last month of this year (March) will be the CO, and the start of plague #3 looming.
2nd Twelve Months: Year of Destruction Within
• The president has been killed in his bunker along with others and some in
Congress.
• Within weeks of a CO, all cities fall, except SLC.
• Federal government is dissolved. Movement becomes limited as the plague
closes state borders. The third plague is released. 17 Million die.
• Locusts consume the Midwest.
• Mobs rule.
3rd Twelve Months: External Destruction
• The country is being torn apart by violence and mobs. Russia and China decide to invade. They nuke
Washington, DC and LA first (to stop mob violence) and it helps stop marauders from reaching the tent cities.
The 10 Tribes ultimately stop the gangs.
• The Russians are more wicked than the Chinese. The mobs are more violent than both of them. The
casualties are huge. The south has nearly starved, Florida is lined with bodies. There is an EMP, but the
electricity has been off for awhile anyhow.
• The tent cities are consolidated to make cities of light. The 10 Tribes start arriving.
• Australia is almost destroyed by Chinese. British try to stand with US but take heavy casualties. The 10
Tribes wipe out Chinese in Washington state and head for Utah. Chinese and Russia began to head home
due to internal problems. Some are converted to the gospel and take it back to China.
• At the end of this year there are approx. 12 million Saints left, 10 million of the 10 Tribes for a total of 21
million in America. Food is planted for the hordes who are making their way to Zion.
• He saw the U.S. being void the wicked. This was the end of his timeline.
This is fascinating stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CtJIPMa2hU
Stuff I have never heard before. So sad that we lost JC five years ago. He had a promising future based on what research I can see he did.
Folks, if you believe that God loves all His children, then this guy is spot on when it comes to the VoG message (but with Catholic-speak instead of our accustomed Mormon speak);
Those interested can access his videos on YouTube by searching his name (be careful, as there is a Fr. Michael Rodriguez, too). The website countdowntothekingdom.com also features him, as well as many other modern mystics.
While no one is obliged to believe mystics, the Bible has this to day in Amos 3:7: "For the Lord GOD does nothing without first revealing his secret to his servants, the prophets."
I now quote Fr. Michel copiously for the details he provides on what supposedly will happen in the next months and years.
On March 24, 2020 he wrote the following to his supporters:
"...After this period of compulsory confinement [due to virus outbreak], life will resume its course. The summer period will open a window of time where we will be able to prepare well for the coming test ... that of being with Jesus on the Cross. We cannot see the Glorious Cross without encountering the cross with Jesus.
"You must now consecrate your house or apartment to the Eternal Father through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary if you have not done so. We must regularly bless our places, our homes, with exorcised holy water. During this summer, you need to prepare a food supply for a period of three months, with drinking water, too. You will need to have made your general confession before fall. The prayer of the Holy Rosary, of Saint Michael the Archangel, and that of your guardian angels will be your comfort, your strength, your protection."
Two days later, on March 26, 2020, Fr. Michel wrote:
"My dear people of God, we are now passing a test. The great events of purification will begin this fall. Be ready with the Rosary to disarm Satan and to protect our people. Make sure that you are in the state of grace by having made your general confession to a Catholic priest. The spiritual battle will begin. Remember these words: THE MONTH OF THE ROSARY (October) WILL SEE GREAT THINGS!"
He added:
"...There will be famine. Jesus presented this to me just recently. I was in my room, and when I sat down, preparing to go to bed, I saw a black cavalier coming. This means famine. I heard, "They will have money, but they will have no bread," which means that you can have money to buy it, but you will find nothing. Then all money will crash, so it is good to give your money away now, as it will disappear. There will be a great uprising. You will see revolution in your streets. People will fight each other openly. The government will have no other choice than to institute martial law. At the same time that martial law begins, so will the war."
On the war, he alleged:
"He [the devil] will start a nuclear war that will be global-the third world war-his war against all of humanity. The devil will kill one third of humanity in this war, and through plagues and abortion, just as one third of the angels were cast out of heaven into hell. Seven nuclear missiles will be permitted to strike the United States as a result of its abominations. Many nuclear missiles will be deflected by the Hand of God because America prays the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I was told this by the Eternal Father.
"...And I know that the war will come from two countries: One is Korea and the other is Iran. They will come together to face the United States of America."
Fr. Michel, at another time, said:
"The times are urgent. The Tribulation will come, and it will be soon. We are in a time of emergency. When the Father gave me the fraternity, He asked me to build it quickly because it will be a refuge for many priests who will come there. Much of what you will witness will be orchestrated by the devil. You will see people fighting against each other for a political reasons. The persecution of Christians, which has already begun, person to person through ridicule and accusation, will come from laws that are lawlessness. You will not be able to follow these laws in good conscience, so persecution will then fall under civil authority."
And the Warning, as prophesied in the Marian apparition in Garabandal, as well as told to Sr. Faustina Kowalska by Jesus, will follow. Fr. Michel wrote about this, saying:
"...Then the Warning will come. I saw this. The stars, the sun, and the moon will not shine. All will be black. Suddenly in the heavens, a sign of Jesus will appear and light up the sky and the world. He will be on the Cross, not in His suffering, but in His glory. Behind Him in a pale light, we will appear the face of the Father, the True God. It will be something, I assure you.
"From the wounds in Jesus' hands, feet, and side, bright rays of love and mercy will fall onto the entire Earth, and everything will stop. If you are in an airplane, it will stop. If you are riding in a car, don't worry -- the car will stop. If you ask me, "How can that be?" I will say, "God is God. He is the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and Earth. If He put Fr. Michel out in there the universe, like a piece of dust, do you think He cannot stop matter? Do you believe that your small airplane will bother Him? No. This is what God told me; but He has also told such things to others, like at Garabandal, which St. Padre Pio believed in.
"Everything will be fixed in time, and the flame of the Holy Spirit will enlighten every conscience on Earth. The shining rays from Jesus' wounds will pierce every heart, like tongues of fire, and we will see ourselves as if in a mirror in front of us. We will see our souls, how precious they are to the Father, and the evil within each person will be revealed to us. It will be one of the greatest signs given to the world since the Resurrection of Jesus Christ."
"After the Warning, no one left on Earth will be able to say that God does not exist. When the Warning comes, everyone will recognize Christ, and they will also recognize His Body, and the body of Christ is the Catholic Church.
"...After the illumination of conscience, humanity will be granted an unparalleled gift: a period of repentance lasting about six and a half weeks when the devil will not have the power to act. This means all human beings will have their complete free will to make a decision for or against the Lord.
"...When the devil returns after six and a half weeks, he will disseminate a message to the world through the media, cell phones, TV's, et cetera. The message is this: A collective illusion happened on this date. Our scientists have analyzed this and found it occurred at the same time that a solar flare from the sun was released into the universe. It was so powerful that it affected the minds of the people on Earth, giving everyone a collective illusion.
But, if you want a succinct definition of who the tares are from a prophet of the Lord, read the last few sentences of this quote:
This is an interesting study that caught my eye:
I often get hammered by guys like the Cardston apostate (my wife no longer allows me to use this phrase), by Roger, Tal, Jake and many others precisely because I see patterns in everything. This is my strong suit and one of the reasons I became an engineer and can look at ridiculously large spreadsheets and pick out patterns. My mind thrives on that.
So, when I read things like the chiasmus in the Book of Mormon, I can usually pick it out.
I am hammered by those whom I will call detractors because they say I act like God or am judgmental. I absolutely am not like God. I am so far off it is cry worthy. BUT I know what I have to do to get there, precisely because I have applied the formulas and algorithms God has applied to guys like Abraham in order to be exalted. A series of logic gates, if you will. Quite mechanical. A bunch of “if/thens”.
When I say 50-70% of Cardston will be cleansed, it is based on data I have gathered by asking pointed questions of random people. If they give the wrong answers, then I move on. I do the same thing on FB and with business associates in order to weed out those who are not safe, etc. I did it on my mission all the time. Leading questions are my best friend ...
Applying scriptural lines in the sand adjusted to the “where much is given” standard, you can arrive at a very accurate picture of where a person or society is at. This model assumes my base algorithms are correct: Bible and BoM correct. Joseph Smith is the modern restoration at, etc.
One of my favorite quotes is: “If such and such is allowed to get away with such and such perversion, then God owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology”. This implies that judgment is linear over time and does not vary by much, other than by the light and knowledge one person or group is given over another. Such as the heathen Chinese over the inhabitants of Zion.
And so it goes. This is how you gain eternal life; in that you align yourselves completely with God’s way of thinking (which eventually spills over into actions) until you no longer have a disposition to do evil and you see Him as He is, because His law is codified in your very being and countenance.
Yes, I will say it; we need to be brainwashed or completely converted and inculcated in His ways. Simple as that.
Okay, for the slow learners (yes, that was a jab), I will pontificate a little more on the Heisenberg Principle.
Here is a comment on an earlier post on the blog:
What happened to your Ogden Temple predictions?
If you have read up on the three things that make up a prophecy (whether personal or over the pulpit, or even from Jesus himself), you will know there are three elements: event, location and time.
I put them in that order for a reason. Mostly, you have to have an event. You cannot really say that "a bad thing is going to happen on the corner of 4th and Main on Sept 18th at 9am because that is really too vague.
You can say that the Temple will be destroyed (event and location) within one generation (or 20-40 years) and still have it be valid as the time is not locked in definitively.
When shown my dream of the Ogden nuke, I was given the event and location (saw both quite clearly), but I thought I was given the time (in the dream, there were still blue Genie lifts up and it appeared that the Temple was dried in, as I saw most of the trim work inside a locker room was completed around the window, etc and the locker dividers were in place). As I got outside and began to pan around the grounds, I saw the grounds were still being installed (landscaping, etc) and final outside finish was still underway with scaffolding still up on some portions of the building. It appeared they were still installing the cladding, etc.
It was after that inspection of the state of things, that I panned southward and saw the black mushroom cloud rising up over HAFB and then about 5-7 seconds later felt the pressure wave. I would love to calculate the time it would take for a pressure wave to go 12 miles or so that the Temple is from the center of the Base, just to satiate my curiosity. Anyway, the blast was so real that I startled awake and then asked for a confirmation dream; which occurred perfectly. I have never had something so mechanically aligned. It was just as I asked for, when we discovered the two hens of that specific breed had indeed endured a hawk strike, just as shown in the confirmation dream.
A few things in relation to this. From others' experiences, we only know that it occurs around the time of the SLC EQ to purge the slothful who likely did not separate themselves out at the behest of the Prophet. Anything else is pretty nebulous. This is where I went wrong. Knowing I was shown all three elements in my dream, I should have "de-selected" one of them as not valid or just as reference material to show me that it was indeed the Ogden Temple which was still under construction at the time, and not a timeframe as to when the event would occur.... Anyone who gives all three with a surety is likely leading you astray. Agency cannot support this notion.
These details have caused my wife to really scratch her head. She believes what I saw was valid - but says that there might be some sort of renovation on the temple. One of my Cardston peeps is one who does complete renos on the temples around the world often blasting them right down to the metal studs and cement. I am not sure if this will be the case for Ogden, but I saw what I saw.
In my dream from the night my kid died, it was me talking to my best friend as "I" was dying and I explained to him as I was fading out of this world that "it was my time to go", "Do not blame yourself", "It was meant to be". All messages clearly for me and his mother - yet the event was clearly off and no time was given (he was already dead about three hours when the dream was given to me). Clearly that was symbolic (I was my kid talking to his best friend, his daddy). While he adored his mother, especially for her care and milk, I was his constant play buddy when I was home from work and giving his mother a break from the day with him. The second part of the dream was spot on in relation to timing (within minutes after dealing with a turkey on one of the two holidays when we might have a turkey), but the event was extremely out in left field and the location was nebulous at best.
The third part of the dream dealt with a hospital and I was shown it in uncanny detail, even the wording coming over the interphone at the end of visiting hours and one of the patients that was there with brown curly hair. That occurred two years and three months after the death of our son - but the timing was nebulous other than it was visiting hours, while the location was simply not present in the dream.
All of those three scenarios verified to me that dreams are difficult, at best, to interpret. Yet, those three scenarios were fulfilled PERFECTLY and gave me great comfort when we realized that a Higher Power was involved in the events. I was so freaked out after the hospital portion of the event that I was shaking almost uncontrollably with excitement, because up to that point, I was a truly scared rabbit. I had no consolation in my future. Just as with the outcome of my son's death, that gave me confidence that God is in control. And it has since that day. I just react almost mechanically to the unexplained circumstances in life and ask, "What do I need to learn from this!?", instead of "Why are you doing this to me??" The outcome which has led to spiritual maturity and confidence in God's plan.
As for the HAFB dream/vision, the question is WHY me? Well, my oldest just got a job there. My wife and I have gotten yet one more chance to exercise faith in "the plan" for us, as we now have skin in that game.
One last interesting thought. If you know something of the future, what is your first impulse if it is something that is not pleasant? Yes, you are right. It is to attempt to change it.
If you were in a position to do something and you were aware of a plot to blow up the Conference Center or Whitehouse or some other big event during a very public event that would be devastating and cause intense suffering and loss of life, what would you do? What would tens of thousands of people in the know do? Even by our very thought processes and prayer and pleadings, we could and can and do change the outcome of that very event. Think of Nineveh. Think of our international day of prayer on this Covid thing. Did the curve flatten and it become a non-event because of that? We may never know.
What if my dream about my kid came the previous night as a dream of premonition and warning instead of a dream of consolation (after the fact)? Might I have checked on him frequently throughout the night and been able to thwart the event? And always wonder why I had a dream that never fully came to fruition? If it came the night after the funeral and not during the night before discovering his lifeless body, might I have dismissed it as an anxiety dream produced by my mind; instead of a dream of prophetic notion? As things were, I had no alternative but to take it at face value (a sign from God of His tenderness and mercy to one of his children who was about to get gob-smacked due to purposes that were strictly in God's design as my son was called over to help with the work on the other side of the veil; heaven knows my wife and I wanted him here with us).
The night before I fell off my roof, I had a premonition of shocking strength three times in a row. Was that a warning for me? Yes, I think so. Could I have avoided the pain and mild suffering I endured? Yes, it is possible, if I had done a little more than just pray for safety that morning. Maybe, instead of just writing a love letter to my oldest (who was a baby at the time), I could have spent a little more time exploring my feelings about things and fleshed out what I was feeling and why. It was not a dream to deal with the consequences of peeing blood from damaged kidneys, it was a "BE CAREFUL" lucid warning. In it, I was given no event or time or even location. Just an inference that I was going to get my bell rung very hard.
So, yes - this is all fascinating to me. The takeaway is very little is carved in stone when it comes to these things. They are all subjective and thus, I have not sold everything and moved to Ogden to wear gunny sack clothing and wear a sign saying the end is near; repent! I have just shared them on the Journal/Blog and you can sort through what the Spirit is telling you, if you happen to have some skin in the game, like my wife and I now do.
Remember; event/location/time. Never all three at once.
I put a lot of stock in what President Benson had to say:
https://youtu.be/VnWcHiBMBYs?t=1961
So, if a statement was made about a generation back in 33AD, could we not use a similar logic to what was said back then? 1982 + 40 = 2022 which is when the announcement of the Temple being built goes forth.
Of course, time will tell.
So, I am pretty much done with Schmuckerberger and company after seeing way too much censoring. Here is a trick to download all of your stuff and get off the monkey train:
There are many options you can choose if you want to have a relatively censorship free experience.
Just google it.
I am really getting fed up with the police state. Once Trump is out, they will go at it full force. Just wait; and it will be full court press with the Church, etc. Once we lose our 501c3 status, it will be curtains for the economy and for the country. The gads will be fully above us. It will no longer be tenable to be part of the system and the Lord will pull the good ones out and drop the hammer. It is the only solution to the problem.
I was listening to a great vid yesterday on yet another callout scenario that I had not considered up to this point:
https://youtu.be/VnWcHiBMBYs?t=705
The Christian Jews were saved by following the counsel the Savior had given them to split when they saw the armies surrounding the holy city. I think there is dualism in that statement. We likely will yet see it again.
Wow - this is significant. I cannot imagine if my religion had built their religious shrine on another site that was holy to an earlier surviving people, would I not want to accommodate?
Say that Temple Square had been found out (during the escavations for the foundation upgrades) to be a major Indian burial site, would we not allow and even encourage the other group to have their day in the sun? It is different because militarily, the Jews own Temple Mount after being challenged in the War of '67; and losing. The Muslims are there only by the good graces of Israel and because they did not want to start WWIII. But the Palestinians do have squatters rights - even though the Jews were forcefully carried off in 70AD. Very complex and interesting issue.
I think the best way to kill the stalemate is for the Muslims (and the Jew-hating mudslimes), to just simply find out that those who attempted to thwart Judeo/Christian scripture, got it all wrong and that the actual temple site is just to the south in the City of David as the archeaologists are finding out right now. It will still involve condemning some land - but hey, throw a few billion dollars at the people, explain things nicely and throw them off their land. That is likely what may happen here in Cardston in an analgous messy land dispute. I will take a big chunk of change and gladly move off the disputed land. I happen to think the native populations have the best case - the Indian Agents screwed up years ago and added a lot of insult to injury to a subjugated people. Subjugated by a group who largely have lost the high moral ground as the birthright is pissed away as we have trampled the God of this land under our feet and love to use His name liberally in vain and desecrate His consecrated day with all manner of licentiousness (sports, work, play - anything but what we are asked to do on that day).
And so it goes. One group, just doing stuff to irritate the other group.
I cannot claim the higher ground. When I come in contact with people who organically hate me for who I am (radical feminists = for being born male and opposing the wholesale slaughter that was a result of slutting around; radical atheists = for loving someone so benign as God; Trump haters = for loving my orange man who defends good principle), I simply adore trolling them. It is great sport to play my stalkers and haters.
I have played Jake Stahlecker (Trump hater and religious persecutor), I have played the company slut although that was a little vengeful as well as playing (yes, they were stalking the blog and had chapter and verse when they went to fire me and the look of glee in VEEP's eyes when she handed me the notice....I was wondering what the regular blog traffic hits from Victoria, BC were from before the smackdown...), I have played the company arse (who got on my phone when I stepped away from my desk and friended himself on FB, which I found out a month or so after the fact) and so much else. I even played Roger the old Codger when I saw he was more interested in crucifying Trump because he likely was in love with Romney being a good old Mormon boy and to support the old clique from the high school days).
My favorite troll was Jesus. In a very serene way, He trolled the Pharisees even when He knew His life was on the line. Well played, Jesus. Well played! Roger about went insane when I would not answer his "charges" against me, but I kept quoting scripture and other things where I believe he could use a little trimming. Initially (ten years ago), he came after me after I went after one of the posse in Tal Bachman, as I defended Joseph Smith and others that were under assault by the Tal posse as I tracked him on the ex-Mo sites. Sadly, Roger was on the wrong side of things, and he did back down once I pointed this out to him.
I reserve the right to defend those that I hold dear, whether my family or Joseph or Jesus or anyone else who cannot defend themselves in an asymmetric firefight. Yes, claiming that Joseph Smith had sex with all of these different women when he can not be here to defend himself, is a major offense in my book, whether it is the Cardston Apostate or another n'er-do-gooder like Tal Bachman. Fact is, Joseph was not firing blanks as Emma found out, and all of this "extra-curricular" sex would have produced something. In fact, all of these anti's kept spouting that the children these women that Joseph was sealed to had, were his. And then DNA evidence proved them to be FLAT ON THEIR BACKS..... The anti's, that is. Baseless allegations - and that pisses me off..... If they were on a similar paygrade, that would have been one thing, but these jokers are all relative losers - when compared to Joseph. The one given the reins in this last dispensation. I asked the Cardston Apostate when he was spewing all of this rhetoric, if he had similar credentials to Joseph, could start a religion, build the most expensive buildings in the states at the time under dire circumstances, bring forth a literary treasure, whether you think it is scripture, or not; have thousands at your back, make extra-ordinary claims that no one seems to be able to knock down and so much else. Can you go toe to toe with that?? Nope - just a run of the mill loser like myself. Nothing special at all. And to have the gall to take on a great out of billions that could have been chosen for the role?
At least satan was able to generate quite a following before taking on Jesus as the Great Accuser. Any thing lesser in dominion and stature taking on someone of an order or two of magnitude higher? Just laughable. So defending this, I have taken damage. And I will continue to do so. It is my right and duty to wield the sword of my mouth in defense of good principle. Anything else is dereliction of duty. If the Jakes of the world do not like it, they are welcome to repent. The Rogers of the world can do the same for being on the wrong side of the equation. Coddling the spoiled/entitled Jakes or Tals of the world will do nothing for them. Inviting them to repent? Best thing that can happen.
In the end, every word will be used against us in the ultimate Court on High - whether you believe in it, or not. If you were acting simply in self-defense, you will be justified. If your intent was to cause harm to character or something else (other than simply stating the facts as they are; not as you imagine them in the vain imaginations of an unrepentant heart and mind), then there are repercussions.
Man, I love Jonathan Cahn. He is my Rabbi. He points to Christ and the big events of His coming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc4xdxI8qsM
Part of the gripe Roger P. has with me is that I am defending the "orange man" and what he stands for, or more importantly, what he stands against; which is corruption and the dark forces in American politics.
I despise corruption and corrupt people - and by inference, those who support those corrupt people.
The thing that got the ball rolling at Viking was some co-workers were finding out what I was about (bashing the USA and Trump at the helm in 2017) and I piped in and said that I had voted for him while I was still in the USA before coming north to work in Canada.
When asked why I would do such a thing, I stated that I voted for him because he supports my economic and religious values/goals.
The led to the next question by a co-worker (a day or two later) about what my religious values were. Finally, after being asked again, I shared them; which included the weekly Sacrament and Law of Chastity as one of the three major sins that we have to go beyond just asking forgiveness of those we have trespassed over during the week (need an intervention by an eccliastical authority for the bigger ones).
So yeah, I am very careful not to foist my values on people unless they solicit. In that case, I had no idea the gal that asked was slutting around with the guy that was training me to replace him in his role (they have since married). The discovery of this detail coupled with some bad feelings for the boyfriend really beating me up and at one point screaming at me in the office led to the independent inquiry in my favor of inappropriate workplace treatment. It got kind of political when I dragged a few other people into the melee to bolster my case that it was not just this guy "having a bad day", etc. There was systemic bias amongst religious conservatives and that a hostile workplace indeed did exist.
To be honest, I had bias of a good kind. I kind of expected Canadians to be a little more accepting than they were in Seattle or even Texas (word getting out that they had a Mormon among them, as nearly 100% Baptists, was definitely a little awkward until things kind of just ironed out, as they were 100% dependent on me as the Stress Group interface with Seattle). At least the Canadians have not been firebombing chapels like they did in Seattle over Prop 8. I knew of at least two in the area and there were probably many more that I was not aware of, including California.
Anyway, yeah - Roger just got hot again yesterday when I tagged him in a post. It is bad for business, you know. I often will ping people to know where they are on things. Usually probe with soft pings, to see if they go hater on me about Christianity in general and then keep going deeper until I hit on things like moderate Muslims, JWs or Mormons. Sometimes, I will out myself. Other times, I will not.
But the bias is real. It is painful - and it can be deadly once things have progressed to a point. The Book of Mormon speaks of it clearly. When it gets to a point, the Nephi's of the world have to retreat back to their towers in the garden because the people are getting to the boiling/stoning point. Ether did. Jesus did a few disappearing acts when it got to a point. When it comes to race relations and politics in general, it is no longer safe to property and sometimes limb to openly state your affiliations. This is a really sad state of affairs.
The best advice I have is; get out of the way and lay low.....
The wicked will kill the wicked. And, as was prophesied, blood will yet run in the streets of SLC.
As Elder Uchtdorf said about his WWII experience as a young lad, it is best to not be in the thick of things and just let it blow over. Account after account has shown this. And get out of liberal areas and off the coasts. These will be destroyed - just as we are seeing with the marxist goons.
Many are just now waking up to this reality. BUT, it is everlastingly too late. We have to take the difficult road to destroying them and rooting them out of our midst:

Sadly, many of us unwittingly uphold them by the things we choose to participate in, whether it is Hollywood or our professions such as pharmacopoeia.
Or the money institutions.... Roger that!
Many within the Church would call you a tin foil hatter for even suggesting these exist. Many fear for their linked livelihoods. And so the battle goes. Many within the hierarchy of the Church tied into these organizations. It will all have to be cleansed; starting in God’s house first.
This is an excellent post from my FB group:
Gaslighting
"Have you ever asked yourself, ‘am I crazy?’ If you have ever asked yourself that, you’re not crazy. You’re most likely being gaslighted. Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse aimed at controlling a person by altering reality to the point where the person will doubt their own sanity.
The term “gaslighting” comes from a 1930’s play called Gas Light. The main character in the play literally tries to drive his wife crazy by gradually dimming the gas-powered lights in their home. When she notices the lights dimming, her husband not only denies that the lights are dimming, he convinces her that she is imagining it to the point where she questions her own sanity.
We are living in a perpetual state of gaslighting. The reality that we are being told by the media is at complete odds with what we are seeing with our own two eyes. And when we question the false reality that we are being presented, or we claim that what we see is that actual reality, we are vilified as racist or bigots or just plain crazy. You’re not racist. You’re not crazy. You’re being gaslighted.
New York State has twice as many deaths from Covid-19 than any other state, and New York has accounted for one fifth of all Covid-19 deaths, but we are told that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has handled the pandemic better than any other governor. But if we support policies of Governors whose states had only a fraction of the infections and deaths as New York, we’re called anti-science and want people to die. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
We see mobs of people looting stores, smashing windows, setting cars on fire and burning down buildings, but we are told that these demonstrations are peaceful protests. And when we call this destruction of our cities, riots, we are called racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
We see the major problem destroying many inner-cities is crime; murder, gang violence, drug dealing, drive-by shootings, armed robbery, but we are told that it is not crime, but the police that are the problem in the inner-cities. We are told we must defund the police and remove law enforcement from crime-riddled cities to make them safer. But if we advocate for more policing in cities overrun by crime, we are accused of being white supremacists and racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
The United States of America accepts more immigrants than any other country in the world. The vast majority of the immigrants are “people of color”, and these immigrants are enjoying freedom and economic opportunity not available to them in their country of origin, but we are told that the United States is the most racist and oppressive country on the planet, and if we disagree, we are called racist and xenophobic. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
Capitalist countries are the most prosperous countries in the world. The standard of living is the highest in capitalist countries. We see more poor people move up the economic ladder to the middle and even the wealthy class through their effort and ability in capitalist countries than any other economic system in the world, but we are told capitalism is an oppressive system designed to keep people down. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
Communist countries killed over 100 million people in the 20th century. Communist countries strip their citizens of basic human rights, dictate every aspect of their lives, treat their citizens like slaves, and drive their economies into the ground, but we are told that Communism is the fairest, most equitable, freest and most prosperous economic system in the world. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
The most egregious example of gaslighting is the concept of “white fragility”. You spend your life trying to be a good person, trying to treat people fairly and with respect. You disavow racism and bigotry in all its forms. You judge people solely on the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. You don’t discriminate based on race or ethnicity. But you are told you are a racist, not because of something you did or said, but solely because of the color of your skin. You know instinctively that charging someone with racism because of their skin color is itself racist. You know that you are not racist, so you defend yourself and your character, but you are told that your defense of yourself is proof of your racism. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gaslighted.
Gaslighting has become one of the most pervasive and destructive tactics in American politics. It is the exact opposite of what our political system was meant to be. It deals in lies and psychological coercion, and not the truth and intellectual discourse. If you ever ask yourself if you’re crazy, you are not. Crazy people aren’t sane enough to ask themselves if they’re crazy. So, trust yourself, believe what’s in your heart. Trust our eyes over what we are told. Never listen to the people who tell you that you are crazy, because you are not, you’re being gaslighted."
The anti-Mormon crowd that I love to tangle with uses these tactics with precision to attempt to introduce doubt or fear. Roger that!
Of course, the left does. The father of it all is satan. He was good enough that he was able to pull one third down.
If you look at the massive disinformation campaign swirling around us, including the President, it is all the same.
The greatest blessing of getting fired from my old job over stating my beliefs that were solicited, is that I get to listen to this kind of stuff while getting paid much more and working remotely with much nicer people (sadly, most from the left coast were slutting around and were resentful of those of us who choose not to).
This guy talks about his NDE and how it is lonely after you have been over there. Spencer from Visions of Glory speaks of this very thing. I had just a minor taste of it, the night our kid died from SIDS. It is incredible over there:
https://youtu.be/OI3XbyZq210?t=1391
This is the object of our existence. To overcome the weaknesses of the flesh and prepare for the greatness that is over there.
My wife and I are going up to Calgary to do some passport work at the Consulate and I suggested we stop in and say hi at Viking, where I was fired from (no, I am not allowed to mention that I was fired by the HR VP, over my views on chastity, that slept with the CFO to get to her position in her unqualified state). And I am not allowed to make reference to the McDonalds CFO that was let go for the same conflict of interest.... Nope, cannot say a thing even though it is an open secret. I just need to suck it up - even though a jury of my peers would find in my favor (and I would be interested to see that contest).
Anyway, she suggested that it would not be a good idea. And, of course, I just laugh because I have this perspective (that this NDEer has) and could not hurt a fly. Other than with words. I will defend truth as I wield the sword of truth and justice. The sword of my mouth. But hey, let's call the RCMP..... What a bunch of jokers... yep.
So, I have an old acquaintance with whom I have been in a FB squabble. He is a perfectly nice fellow and was a bishop a few years back. His father was my pseudo father when I was growing up, as well as my Scout Master until the dad declared the Church false over DNA (since disproven) and used it as an excuse to the leave the church and his wife and go and cheat on her with an old girlfriend..... We have a lot of history. Our differences are that he is a "mushy in the middle" type of guy; even for a bishop. He is a financial services person and I believe he has done quite well in that field of skimming percentages. I despise most of the money services field.
We first tangled back in 2008 when I was talking financial collapse when the next one hit (I think we might be about to enter it with this fake plannedemic). I told him then that it would be bigger than the Great Depression with the dollar collapse, etc. He told me to tone it down because it was bad for his business. Don't wanna scare the chickens, you know. They might molt.... If the goose is freaked out, it might not keep laying the golden egg.
Roger P. was the kind of guy who was super social like his father and really tried to keep everyone happy - a real people pleaser. Among his peer group (and mine, they were all a year or two younger), were Tal Bachman of famous LDS apostate fame and Jake S. who got into some sort of trouble with one of the young ladies in YW and he never shook (repented fully of) the bad spirit that this brought into his life.
I was an outsider to the posse. I was more interested in school, my own social circles and preparing for college than to try and break into the clique of the younger guys in the Priests Quorum back in the day. They all went to a different high school than I did. But I observed the goings on of that group.
So, this fellow does not like my Bensonite, tough love approach with people (tell them where they are out of the way). He is more of a kid glove, coddler kind of guy. I never have been. I think this approach is what has killed the Millennials and turned them into limp-wristed social justice basement dwellers (attracted to part time gigs throwing molotov cocktails for George Soros) instead of people who can survive on their own and become married, productive members of society. True contributors instead of drags on society.
Anyway, yeah. When called out on my approach, I fire back with the usual rhetoric for the lefty crowd:
So yeah. This is how I do battle. I think his motives are mostly good - but pandering to his apostate friends (former members of our quorum) who despise all those who have gone before flinging the most acrimonious poo about Joseph and Brigham (most all of which has been shown to be false even decades ago), is not my idea of how to go about it. I had to swat down the Cardston apostate for the same reasons. Timidly trying to defend against each turd they fling at me is useless. I go on the attack and directly for the jugular. The only way to go.
Pandering to the constructs of Babylon? Not the way going forward. It must all come to naught. Even the medical device fields, Boeing, Viking, pharmaceuticals will ALL go away in the Millennium as we actually use the fullness of the Priesthood that we (who make it), will be possessors of; by virtue of an outgrowth of our dire circumstance which is soon to come about. In our extremity, we will come to know our God and who we really are. It is either that, or be swept. We either Hear Him and follow the Spirit, or we lose the mortal battle of physicality and find ourselves on the other side of this corporeal realm.
I was talking with the g-grandson of EJ Wood last night and he has told me even the liberals are panicking and buying guns to defend themselves. The very ones who decried them; now seeking them out. My friend has a brother who is a re-loader. The 9mm ammo he reloads is going at several hundred percent markup. People are contacting him daily about moving up to Cardston and getting out of the States. Folks, it is getting real out there. It is no longer fun and games.
My friend's father, who was 20+ when EJ Wood died, spoke very clearly of hearing his grandpa speak of the million+ people that will be here in Cardston and points eastward (after they are cleansed of the slothful Latter-day Aints). When I asked my friend what brought him to Cardston from the States and began reciting my spiel there in the EQ room, his father (who was patiently waiting in a wheelchair) suddenly perked up and began to recite what EJ had told him. I was able to get a firsthand account from this man before he died a few months later. Former GE engineer and Stake President bearing his witness to the prophetic word of a prolific leader in this area.
EJ had a fullness of the Priesthood like Iohani Wolfgramm and others I am still yet to be made aware of. He exercised many gifts with power and was universally loved here in Cardston.
