Making Merchandise Of You
"And found in the temple those that sold oxen and
sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords,
he drove them all out of the temple,
and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured
out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
And said unto
them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise."
Rainmaker
The temple of God.
It is time to open your eyes if you are going to see at all your prison
cell door behind the golden veil erected by men. What is it about this passage from John they
do not understand?
What exception did Jesus make to the house of God
being used for buying and selling, and hoarding and heaping up of merchandise,
money and rations and the souls of men?
When did Jesus pardon the unrepentant King of Tyrus or the willful King
Solomon and his collecting of six hundred, threescore and six talents of gold?
Nowhere in the scriptures did Jesus ever
contradict this message.
So important was this lesson that three of the
disciples also recorded this event. Not
just John, but Matthew and Mark also:
"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought
in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,"
"And they come to
Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the
temple, and began to cast out them
that sold and bought in the temple, and
overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves;"
These leaders of the Jews religion in Jesus’ time
were named among the oppressors and persecutors of those men of God who were
shown “The Word”.
Everything they did was behind the cloak of
piousness, false as it was. Every act
against a prophet of God perpetrated under false accusations; every murder
accomplished through a front. But God
knew their hands were dirty.
A Name profaned was still The Name. Foolish belief in their thefts of the land,
only they could convince themselves that God did not also have a purpose in
allowing the transgression. He still
hears and sees in the hearts of the wicked and the stones still cry out their
deeds.
Jeremiah’s sorrow in identifying the home office
of the conspiracy against God, His Word; the truth:
"And the Lord
said unto me, A conspiracy is found
among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
Doubt not that they are ancient. Doubt not that they are not well organized.
Deceive not yourselves that their coats of sheep’s wool have not been
professionally tailored and fitted to their wolves haunches for they have much
at stake.
"There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a
roaring lion ravening the prey; they
have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they
have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they
have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed
difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my
sabbaths, and I am profaned among them."
There has not been one son of man touched by gold
and shown The Word without his sycophants.
Not one saint chosen by God has taken a step without the burdensome chattel of conniving flatterers hanging upon his shawl.
"But there were false prophets also among the
people, even as there shall be false
teachers among you, who privily shall
bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and
bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways;
by reason of whom the way of truth shall
be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with
feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth
not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
Fear not, for the many that follow are
deceived. Truth is not borne in
popularity, nor is it authored by men, but by God. Stand fast and witness, for the truth will
defend itself once it is revealed.
They know there is not much time left. Their hatred will be revealed, even as their
feigned love seduce for a time, the lot of them. Their merchandising of creation is coming to
an end. The kings of commerce with their
revenue and usury; and oppression in the city will go up in smoke.
"The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and
fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all
manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of
brass, and iron, and marble,
And cinnamon,
and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour,
and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men."
False Teachers
Every prophet in the scriptures warned of those
false teachers, the liars, the sorcerers and flatterers who used chemical,
herbal and persuasion to move the minds of men.
They are the authors of confusion, contradiction and propaganda. Peer-pressure is an art form developed from
old.
For this purpose and with this knowledge, Jesus
taught the taking up of the cross, and loving him first above all fleshly, worldly
things. What belongs to the world will
be used by the world against the Father and his Christ.
There is no shame in them, in lying, manipulating,
persuasion, stalking, false witnessing to subvert souls and convince you that
the gift given you is delusion.
They will use mother, father, husband, wife,
sister and brother, son and daughter to pry you from the love of God, and the
purpose for which He called you.
"Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must
be circumcised, and keep the law: to
whom we gave no such commandment:"
"But I fear, lest
by any means, as the serpent beguiled
Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus,
whom we have not preached, or if ye
receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear
with him."
They have mimicked that which they hate. They portray that which their law
contradicts. Any means to an end is not
the law of God.
They will accuse of you past sins for which Jesus
has already forgiven of you, to shame you from your calling. The world will hate you, but it hated him
first:
"But before all
these, they shall lay their hands on
you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues,
and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake."
"These things I
have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world."
We are called to bring attention to the
truth. We are to have no fellowship with
the sowers of iniquity. We are called
not to debate, but to reprove the false teachings and lies.
"For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light
in the Lord: walk as children of
light: (For the fruit of the Spirit
is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have
no fellowship with the unfruitful works
of darkness, but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them
in secret."
Stand on truth, no matter the cost because it is
not only your own soul at stake – it is for the elect’s sake.
"Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes,
that they may also obtain the salvation
which is in Christ Jesus with
eternal glory."
The love of Christ is more important to me than
the love of anything else. If you have
the love of Christ in you, then “none lost” becomes the desire of your heart.
None that love deserve to be lied to. Let the truth loose, it will defend itself.
A Global Conglomerate
From “Keyword Michael, Part 2”
One of the details touched on in the previous
article was the “501c” non-profit corporate entity of the “United States of
America, Inc.” I had asked:
“The
United States” has been a corporation, registered and licensed in Delaware,
since April 19, 1989. See “Doc”
on “Road To Damascus”. This was done within a few months of George
Bush Sr. taking office after Ronald Reagan.
The
“Organizing For America that Obama is transferring to become a “501c” as stated
on the Maxine Waters interview posted there is the “Religious
Non-profit” organization for which the 501c has been set up. Why is the ACLU mowing down prayer in school
and scripture on courthouses if the “United States of America” is registered as
a corporation in the state of Delaware under a “Religious Non-proft”?
This is the document screenshot:
I noticed that the “Doc” link is under “Scrib”
website. It was uploaded by “American Kabuki”. We know “American Kabuki” is affiliated
with “RemovingTheShackles” and “MetaTech”. (See posts on the “OPPT”). So I pulled up the State of Delaware Website
and this is what is actually listed:
Notice that the “file number”, and the
“corporation” are the same, but the “entity type” is listed as “exempt” and not
as a “religious non-profit”. I searched
for a former registration. On “MetaTech” website, they included a link to the Delaware State
Division of Professional Regulation. On
that site next to “License Type” (click here) is a drop down
menu. “Religious non-profit” is no
longer on it, but “Exempt” is there, which covers all non-profit. Isn’t that tricky?
On the Delaware State list of business entities,
“Exempt” is not listed, but Exempt corporations (not taxed, only shareholders
are taxed as personal income) is listed as “S” corporation – source. “New Entities” link (source), where you begin your “New Entity” registration
request, lists “Exempt”. This is the form that is filed for all
non-profit which include “civic organizations”, “charitable organizations” and
“religious” organizations.
Source, corp.delaware.gov./inc_exempt
Under this form any of those
apply. If the United States was once
listed under “Religious Non-profit” that was changed to just “Non-profit”
between 1989 when it was first incorporated, and this year. When I checked this back in 2013, it was
still listed as “Religious Non-profit”.
If they have changed this to a “civic” or a
“charitable” non-profit, one has to wonder why.
They were at one time separate types under non-profit.
Why is this important? After all, aren’t most cities in the U.S.
“incorporated”?
Yes; but then a lot of them are not.
On a whim I searched “Latter Day Saints” in
Delaware. The search returned no
results. I searched “Latter-Day Saints”
and no entity existed in Delaware.
I then searched “Deseret”, which is one of the
publishing names I had seen, and this showed up:
I searched “Trademark” for “Deseret” and it is
Trademarked under number of different entities (Source), but no search for a
corporate entity under “Deseret Management Corporation” exists. I found that registered in the state of Utah
(source). Of all ten of the links listed on that, none
of them are “Management Corp” and all are listed as either “Corporation” or
“Limited Liability Corporation”.
“Deseret News” has the earliest trademark back in
1966. This original expired, but is
renewed a number of times under the same name.
Deseret Medicals and Pharmaceuticals was also a registered trademark
under “Deseret” in 1966 but was “cancelled” in 2003; that was rather recently.
On the State of Nevada’s Entity Search (source),
there was a lot more. I first searched
“Latter”, and this list pulled up
All of these are active, but most are “Trademark”
registrations. Scroll through the list
as I did for this entity (source) and a “Domestic non-profit
corporation” lists two men as holding four different offices. One loner is the treasurer. But this was the one I was looking for:
“Corporation of the President of the Church of
Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints, Inc.” – Source.
This is listed as a “Foreign Non-Profit
Corporation”. It was registered on
1/11/1963. It’s expiration date is
blank, and the “business license Exp” list’s “Exempt”- 002. The “002” detail reveals a 501c. Not unusual for a “church” is it?
There are many churches that have to register as a
non-profit for the “tax exempt” status – separation of church and state, right?
What I didn’t understand was why the “United
States of America, Inc” had to be incorporated as 501c (formerly a ‘Religious
Non-Profit). I expected the LDS to be a
Religious non-profit. What bothered me
was that the Mormons first settled Utah and ran it as a “Theocracy”. They may deny it, but it is in their own
Doctrines and Covenants which they call “scripture” a prophecy that
they will be the “government of God” on earth; and the Mormons will “save the
U.S.” and the “Constitution” when it “hangs by a thread”.
If the “United States of America, Inc” is
registered as “Religious Non-Profit”,
does that make this country a “Theocracy” in hiding?
My next question was, “why was the 501c blended
from having separate civic, charitable and religious designations to the
blending of all of them”?
Finally, it is one thing for a church to
incorporate as a non-profit organization for the tax exemption. But most of us can agree that not many
churches have metastasized into their own “industrial complex” that spans
continents.
What made me look further into this was an obscure
article about a beef ranch in Florida.
This is what I found upon search from sources revealed in just one
article. As the mass of this
“corporation” was unraveled, I began to ask myself, “just what is the LDS a
church OF?”
The Mormon Connection
The article originated on “Wiki-Leaks”. Since Wiki-Leaks has been a popular whipping
boy for the establishment, it’s not been easy to determine whether their
“revelations” are part of the “Good Cop/Bad Cop” deception or if they are more
than just another distraction. It was a
discussion on a forum about a farm in Brazil that was owned/run by an American
church:
In 2005, MST occupied a property of “AgroReservas
do Brazil,” a 70,000 hectare farm run by the Salt Lake City-based “Farm
Management Company,” or “Ag Reserves Inc.”
The company’s website features a quote from former LDS Church President
Gordon B Hinckley, saying that:
The company, it turns out, is owned by the
corporate arm of the LDS Church.
“Land concentration is
everywhere a symptom of larger political and military structures of coercion,
and Brazil is no exception. The leaked
cable describes how “Military police
officers have provided protection to the farm” and “the judge who wanted to negotiate with the MST has been replaced by a ‘new, more reasonable judge.'”
The US Embassy seems uninterested in the accusation of foreign land
occupation; but what is more surprising is that the United States Government is not the cuprit here. This is a farm under ownership of a foreign corporation,
under a religious organization - or are they one and the same?”
"But even if MST
was not trying to send a message to
Mormons about the irony of a thrifty, food-storing religious people funding the massive concentration of land under armed
guard in a foreign land… well, the message seems clear.
There was a time when Mormon agrarian policy took the
side of the landless and the poor -communal landholding, cooperative credit projects, full employment, self-sufficiency, an
economy of sharing the risks and the rewards of living from the land. Those
values are still with us, but the values we profess and the realities we fund
couldn’t be further apart. AgReserves
seems to have left the United Order far behind, and the most beautiful core
truths of egalitarian Mormonism along with it." - Sources, AgReserves
Inc, MSTBrazil.org, themormonworker.wordpress.com
It was hard for me to determine whether this was
written by a Mormon or just someone who was familiar with Mormon codes of
conduct. But the “foreign land
occupation under armed guard” by a church is enough to raise anyone’s eyebrows.
70,000 hectare is equal to almost 173,000 acres; not
as large as other “ranches” they own.
According to "this source", the LDS church
"corporate arm" also owns the country's largest beef Cow/Calf ranch
located in Florida., and this:
"In another situation, anti-feedlot
legislation in Utah had a lot of momentum until it got out that the state’s largest feedlot owner was the
church. It sort of fizzled after everybody found that out."
- Source, January 2011 comment
This farm she is talking about is "Deseret
Farms" in Florida; a 300,000 acre spread over three counties, featured in
a Deseret News article dated July 23,
2013.
According to Erik Jacobsen who directs the
operation at the ranch, calves are not the only “commodity” produced in that
ranch:
"Elsewhere on Deseret property,
third-party operators cultivate sod,
palm trees and palmettos for landscaping
and roadway projects; mine large
deposits of fossilized seashells used
for road base; cut pine, cypress,
palm and other hardwoods; and harvest
small stretches of commercial crops ranging from chipping potatoes and corn
to wheat and black beans.
Another ranch operation oversees
the wildlife leases to some 40-plus hunting and fishing clubs using select
property locations. With limited public lands in the East, most hunting has to
be done on private lands.
"They're paying for an
experience," Jacobsen said. "Some want to come out and hunt; some
want to just come out and camp."" - Source, Deseret News
That’s quite a bit of revenue and that is only one
ranch. The Russian times ran another
article on the “largest private land owner” in the state of Florida:
"A sect of the Mormon Church
is poised to become the largest private
landowner in the state of Florida after spending more than half a billion dollars to purchase hundreds of thousands of acres across three counties.
Representatives from the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints announced Thursday they had bought
most of the real estate owned by the St. Joe development company for $565 million. Municipalities in Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jefferson,
Leon, Liberty and Wakulla counties are included in the nearly 400,000 acres of land. The land, much of which is rich with timber, is located along the
Florida panhandle." - Source, RussianTimes.com Published 8 November 2013
That is in addition to the 300,000 acre ranch near
Orlando that they’ve owned since the 1950’s.
This news source confirms it, printed in April of 2015:
"Deseret Ranch managers and Osceola
County bureaucrats are partners in mapping where a half-million people would live and work on what today is 133,000 acres of remote, scenic and wetland-laced ranch in the north part of the county east
of Orlando International Airport. .
The development planning is
general in detail and would not bring about the first pour of concrete for
decades. But it is the largest
real-estate plan ever inked in Florida and is backed by the largest landowner in the
state, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." - Source, Orlando Sentinel.com
Is this going to be “Salt Lake City II”? How is a “church” to decide where “half a
million people” will “live and work”? Is
this a “camp” or a “community”?
“I Owe My Soul To the Company Store”
This isn't about feeding the poor - it's about
subversion. The article on the “Orlando”
reveals the 380,000 acres in the Panhandle mentioned in the “Russian Times”
article above:
"The church has owned the ranch for 60 years. Including parts in Orange
and Brevard, it takes in 290,000 acres
of mostly roadless landscape — an area far larger, for example, than all of
Seminole County. Last year, the church
acquired 380,000 acres of mostly agricultural land in the Panhandle. . . . "For them to establish entitlements to their property, this has got to be worth untold millions of dollars,"
Commissioner Mike Harford said. "If
you had the chance to say the land is now established for so many homes, so
many road networks — how much is that worth?" - Source, Orlando Sentinel.com
That is a total of 670,000 acres – and that is
only in one state. Two “ranches” in one
state. That does not include four other
ranches in other states and countries.
Their website boasts Timber, Wildlife, Citrus and
Beef farming, as well as agricultural engineering; working with local ranchers,
government leaders and academics.
Agricultural engineering. In the screenshot below, they also mention
“Hybrid – Genetics” management to produce the “best” of the various breeds
adapted to subtropical climate.
On their website for Deseret Ranch, a tab
describes the positive contribution to the economy in taxes and jobs. But according to the article on the LDS.org church newsletter, most of
the ranch hands, workers and cowboys are “volunteer” missionaries. And according to the same source, the LDS church owns over fifty farms and
orchards in the U.S. and Canada (Brazil is not mentioned); which
include a Turkey farm yielding five million pounds of Turkey a year; A vineyard
in Madera, California (for raisins); A Peanut Farm in Texas and five cattle
ranches.
In Brazil, Farm Management Company (FMC) is the
owner of “AgroReservas do Brasil”, a company that manages the Church Farm of
FMC in the country. AgroReservas had a
website, but now does not exist under the www.agroreservas.com/
anymore. This was the Google result when
posting it in search:
There are other “Agroreservas.com” search results
for “Chile” and Argentina, but none of them offer a “website” for the
company. Only job postings and “maps”
for the business. If the “Farm Management Company” owns “Agroreservas, inc” in
Brazil, then they also own the company in “Chile” and Argentina which means
they are either “managing” those farms or they own them.
In Utah, it is “Agreserves, Inc” and they do have
a website as shown above. Their job
postings – doesn’t say “volunteer” but they do have an “internship” section: Source.
Under “Farm Management Services” in Salt
Lake City there are five other corporations or rather, four and one ranch under
this umbrella listed on Mantra.com.
An eye-opening article in Bloomsburg Business
section is “How the Mormon Church Makes Money”.
They have not limited themselves to corporate agriculture. From the article:
"Mormons make up only 1.4 percent of
the U.S. population, but the church’s holdings are vast. First among its for-profit enterprises is DMC, which reaps estimated annual revenue of $1.2 billion from six subsidiaries, according to the business
information and analysis firm Hoover’s Company Records (DNB). Those subsidiaries run a newspaper, 11 radio stations, a TV station, a
publishing and distribution company, a digital media company, a hospitality
business, and an insurance business with assets worth $3.3 billion."
- Source, Bloomsburg
DMC is “Deseret Management Corporation” and
according to their entity registration in Utah, it is a “for profit
corporation” (source).
That’s quite a beast under the surface of a
church! More? The "Ag" Business:
"AgReserves, another for-profit Mormon umbrella company, together with other church-run agricultural
affiliates, reportedly owns about 1
million acres in the continental U.S., on which the church has farms, hunting preserves, orchards, and
ranches. These include the $1
billion, 290,000-acre Deseret Ranches in Florida, which, in addition to
keeping 44,000 cows and 1,300 bulls, also has citrus, sod, and timber
operations. Outside the U.S., AgReserves
operates in Britain, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. Its Australian property, valued at $61
million in 1997, has estimated annual
sales of $276 million, according to Dun & Bradstreet."

Australia Ranch alone, sales of $276 million. Just one ranch.
Real estate and development:
"The church also runs several
for-profit real estate arms that own, develop, and manage malls, parking lots, office parks,
residential buildings, and more. Hawaii
Reserves, for example, owns or
manages more than 7,000 acres on Oahu, where it maintains commercial and residential buildings, parks, water and sewage infrastructure, and two cemeteries."

Whatever happened to the lesson of Jesus
overthrowing the tables and chasing the merchants out of the temple in Matthew 21, Mark 11 and John 2? Whatever happened to the lesson of Solomon
using his God-acquired wisdom to heap up riches and horses and wives and
chariots unto himself in 1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 1 – and the “six
hundred threescore and six” talents of gold a year also mentioned in 1 Kings
10?
"And king Solomon
gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that
which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own
country, she and her servants. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in
one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
Beside that he
had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants,
and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country."
Yes, Solomon had them all – And this they were
commanded NOT to do:
"But he shall not multiply horses to himself,
nor cause the people to return to
Egypt, to the end that he should
multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart
turn not away: neither shall he greatly
multiply to himself silver and gold."
I did remember them who cause people to “return to
Egypt”. This was not meant in a physical
or geographical sense. Mormonism is
Egyptian, not Jesus-based, just as Freemasonry is Egyptian-based. I dug a little deeper.
Disturbing:
"The Mormon Church at the time said the estimates were grossly
exaggerated, but a recent investigation
by Reuters in collaboration with sociology professor Cragun estimates that the LDS Church is likely
worth $40 billion today and collects up to $8 billion in tithing each year.
Quinn, a faithful Mormon who spent
12 years on the faculty at the LDS Church’s Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, before being excommunicated for apostasy
related to research he published on Mormons, has been gathering financial
information for years. Several high-ranking
church insiders told him that the church’s finances are so compartmentalized
that no single person, not even the president, knows the entirety of its
holdings."
- Source, Bloomberg.com
Michael Quinn, previously high up in the Mormon
Church, was ex-communicated for his divulging of previously covered up church
finances and according to the Wikipedia page on him, is now gay. I wonder if he was assisted in the same way
Bruce Jenner was assisted (MK-Ultra, NY Times).
Now that other news papers are covering Quinn’s revelations, how viable
is his ex-communication? The Mormon legislators in Utah voted in a Gay rights bill (Wash.Post), the hypocrisy is astounding. One has to wonder what “else”
Quinn could possibly have done wrong. If interested, a write up of this on “Slate” tells part of the
story. The section on Quinn’s experience
with Packer is very interesting – especially the part about historians who
“idolize the truth”. Given later revelations
by other news sources by insiders of the LDS, Michael Quinn was dead on. The same “Slate: article:
"Unlike local lay leaders, who hold
secular day jobs and perform their ecclesiastical duties on a voluntary basis,
they
are full-time employees who oversee the global operations of the church. They don’t acquire these positions
by filling out an application and sending in a résumé. They are called to them by the men at the very top of the hierarchy.
Devout Mormons consider these callings divinely inspired. While such a calling
does not officially confer infallibility on the man who receives it—and the
general authorities are all male—publicly
criticizing the men in these positions is strongly discouraged. At its
worst, such talk is sometimes called “speaking evil of the Lord’s anointed.”
- Source, Slate.com
Quinn calls the highest leaders of the Mormon Church
“a social elite”:
"In his Yale dissertation, Quinn
examined the “highest leadership” of the LDS church “as a social elite,”
focusing on the extensive family ties within the hierarchy, the considerable wealth of Mormon
authorities, and their long-standing
involvement in politics." - Source, Slate.com
He also mentions the “considerable wealth” of the
Mormon authorities and their “longstanding involvement with politics”. There IS no separation of church and state –
the LDS IS a state. It just happens to be named "Utah" at the moment.
There is more on the “Deseret Management
Corporation” and the church hierarchy:
"To understand DMC’s place in the
church’s financial structure, it’s important to start at the very top: The Mormon Church is owned and run by what
is called the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. This entity is a
“corporation sole,” which is an obscure legal body owned entirely
by one person. In
the case of the Mormon Church, that person is Monson, the prophet.
The Mormon presidency is not an elected position, and while the
president is considered a prophet, it’s also not considered a direct appointment
from God. When one president resigns or dies, he is replaced by the
longest-serving member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, an ecclesiastic
group commonly referred to as the Apostles. Each new president handpicks two
counselors to help him lead. The three-man team is called the First Presidency."
- Source, Bloomberg.com
It's Founder's Revelations were about Money. This was quoted of historian Leonard J.
Arrington – the man that hired Michael Quinn, and the man who was “relieved” by
the incoming Packer (who has a problem with truth):
"The group also
espoused separatist financial goals of “erecting and maintaining an improved
economic system for its members,” according
to historian Leonard J. Arrington, who points
out that 88 of Smith’s 112 revelations deal directly or indirectly with economic
matters. " - Source, Bloomberg.com
That doesn’t sound like a church to me. It sounds like a glorified and well protected
pyramid scheme. One with global intentions.
Operates
just like the government - or under-government:
"Until the 1990s, wards—the Mormon equivalent of parishes—kept some donated member money locally to
distribute for aid and activities as they saw fit. Today all money is wired directly to Salt
Lake City. McMullin
insists that not one penny of tithing goes to the church’s for-profit endeavors, but it’s impossible for church
members to know for sure. Although the Mormon
Doctrine and Covenants says “all things shall be done by common consent in
the church,” members are not provided
with any financial accounting. Daymon M. Smith, a Mormon anthropologist,
points out that tithing slips read,
“Though reasonable efforts will be made globally to use donations as
designated, all donations become the
Church’s property and will be used
at the Church’s sole discretion to further the church’s overall mission.”
- Source, Bloomberg.com
This is exactly what the Federal government does, in part. Just what is their mission? To become another “Solomon”? They’ve gone quite a bit beyond 666 talents
of Gold. Their tabernacle is the
corporation. Their god appears to be
money.
Geographical/Real Estate Wealth:
"The Mormon Church is by far the most numerically
successful creed born on American soil and one of the fastest growing
anywhere. Its U.S. membership of 4.8
million is the seventh largest in the country, while its hefty 4.7% annual American growth rate is nearly
doubled abroad, where there are already 4.9 million adherents. Gordon B. Hinckley, the church's
President--and its current Prophet--is engaged in massive foreign construction, spending billions to erect 350 church-size
meetinghouses a year and adding 15
cathedral-size temples to the existing 50." - Source, LDS-mormon/time.shtml
Financial/Corporate
Wealth:
"The church's material triumphs rival even its evangelical advances. With unusual cooperation from the
Latter-day Saints hierarchy (which provided some financial figures and a rare
look at church businesses), TIME has been able to quantify the church's extraordinary financial vibrancy.
Its current assets total a minimum of $30 billion. If it were a
corporation, its estimated $5.9 billion
in annual gross income would place it
midway through the FORTUNE 500, a little below Union Carbide and the Paine
Webber Group but bigger than Nike and the
Gap." - Source, LDS-mormon/time.shtml
This was written up in Time Magazine and to put
this in perspective, the original article was published eighteen years ago,
back in August of 1997; the same year Michael Jackson released "Blood On
The Dance Floor" and four years before the "towers fell". The title of the Time Magazine Cover?
"Mormon, Inc"
In a paragraph further down, the article said
this:
"Historian Leonard J. Arrington says the church, along with
the values it represents, "has played
a role, and continues to play a role, in
the economic and social development of the West--and indeed, because of the
spread of Mormons everywhere, of the nation as a whole." And in a country
where religious unanimity is ever less important but material
achievement remains the earthly manifestation of virtue, their creed may never face
rejection again." - Source, mormon.com/time lds-mormon.com/time.shtml
“Material achievement remains the earthly
manifestations of virtue . . .” That
could not have been said better by the devil himself.
It is on this article that the verification of
their "assets" spans "Time", and nations.
"The top beef ranch in the world is not the King Ranch in Texas. It is the Deseret Cattle & Citrus Ranch outside Orlando, Fla.
It covers 312,000 acres; its value as
real estate alone is estimated at $858 million. It is owned entirely by the Mormons. The largest producer of nuts in America, AgReserves, Inc., in Salt Lake
City, is Mormon-owned. So are the Bonneville International Corp., the
country's 14th largest radio chain,
and the Beneficial Life Insurance Co.,
with assets of $1.6 billion. There are richer churches than the one based
in Salt Lake City: Roman Catholic holdings dwarf Mormon wealth. But the
Catholic Church has 45 times as many members. There is no major church in the U.S. as active as the
Latter-day Saints in economic life, nor, per capita, as successful at it."

List of Corporations as of 2005.
It did not escape me that two other detractors
from the “September Six” as they are called (which included Michael Quinn)
ended up dead, both from car bombs by a “Mormon Apostle” who never went to
trial (Source).
JFK, while not directly connected to the LDS, made
two speeches that were hauntingly more prophetic than the Book of Mormon, was
assassinated.
Abraham Lincoln while appearing neutral on “the
Mormon Problem” in his debate with Douglas (source), was the one that was
assassinated. Why? Because while Douglas had turned on the
Mormons after at first supporting them; Lincoln Federally outlawed both slavery
and polygamy (Source), although polygamy wasn’t
shut down until the Edmunds-Tucker Act in 1886 and
1887.
No one really knows how much land, assets or
revenue in totality, make up the Mormon organization. But scripturally by the same Bible they carry
with their Book of Mormon, this is NOT the church of Christ. Jesus never taught lying, subversion and
acquisition.
There is also this to consider: If the assets/revenue of the Mormon church is
so “compartmentalized” that “even the President doesn’t know all it’s holdings”
as quoted in that Time Magazine article . . . then just who does?
Does the United States of America, Inc. and the
“Office Of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,
Inc” run a parallel road to global, theocratic power? Or are they yet another Identity over what
this really is: The bondage of Egypt and Mystery Babylon?
Who is really behind it all?
If you are remaining vigil on the appearance of the beast, you'd best keep an eye on his house.
"And he saith
unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples,
and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
And the ten
horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall
make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."
The Bewitching will not go on.
"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch
to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the
vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth
it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall
speak, and not lie: though it tarry,
wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
