| 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. |
Moroni says that he has seen us,
and that he knows our doing. He
can only be speaking to someone who is reading the words which he wrote. Who has
the words which Moroni Wrote? The Latter-day Saints. |
| And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; |
Who walks in the pride of their hearts? Us, the Latter-day
Saints to whom Moroni is speaking. Moroni's message is the same as that of Ezra Taft
Benson; The Latter-day Saints are lifted up in pride. President Benson said that the
following scripture applies to us today: "...vanity and unbelief have brought the
whole church under condemnation, and this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion,
even all. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the
new covenant, even the book of Mormon, and the former commandments which I have given
them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written -- That they may
bring forth fruit meet for their fathers kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and
a judgement to be poured out upon the children of Zion." D&C
84:55-58 |
| 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, |
So what is the expected clothing of the Latter-day Saints
when attending meetings? For the men, a minimum of a white shirt and tie, unless you are
in a church leadership position, and then the minimum expected is a suit. Dresses,
pantyhose and makeup are expected of the ladies, fine apparel is indeed the way of life in
the LDS church. |
| 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. |
Every Ward, and every Branch, and every District, and every
Stake is polluted because of pride. |
| 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. |
For example: Last Christmas, my ward spent hundreds of
dollars buying poinsettias, and Christmas trees for the foyer in the ward meeting-house,
[an extravagant monstrosity of a building, built from the lifeblood of the saints
tithing.] |
| O ye pollutions, |
|
| ye hypocrites, |
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof,
and indeed casting out those who exhibit the power of godliness through visions,
revelation, or angelic ministration. |
| ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, |
To get money, we sell ourselves. Isn't this priestcraft?
Teaching those things which will get us gain, and praise of the world? |
| why have ye polluted the holy church of God? |
And why do you cast out those with the courage to call you to
repentance for your pollutions? |
Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?
 |
Why is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
ashamed of our heritage? Why do we value good media coverage and good relations with the
apostate Christian creeds more than we value living the Christian ideals that were
revealed to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young? Why have we rejected every doctrine and policy
which caused us to get bad press coverage? |
| 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,
|
There is a prophecy in this verse that we would do good to
pay attention to. Moroni prophecies that the LDS church is building up secret abominations
to get gain. If these secret combinations are not already known, they will be at some
future point. Certainly the latter-day saints are highly prized by the
millittary/inddusstrial intelligence community, where they enter into combinations of
secrecy with covverrt organizations, whose sole purpose is to get gain through secret
conspiracies. |
| 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. |
