“Born in the Covenant,” I grew up in Northern California as a faithful Molly Mormon, BYU alum, married in the Oakland Temple, and eventually bore eight children. It was my testimony of the Book of Mormon (BOM, published in 1830) that forced me to question events concerning the LDS/Mormon Church that started in 1985, with the Mark Hoffman incident. Although living in Las Vegas, Nevada at the time, I read everything I could get my hands on about it.

Hoffman had sold a staggering 48 forgeries to the Brethren [The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]. To keep from being exposed, he had murdered two people, which qualified him as a “Master Mahan ~ one who murders to get gain”* and whose very next project and objective, had he not been caught, was to forge a version of the 116-page Lost Manuscript and destroy the Church. (*Pearl of Great Price, Moses 5:31)

At the next General Conference session, expecting to hear a humble apology or admission of guilt from men we were required to sustain as “prophets, seers,* and revelators,” then Apostle Gordon B. Hinckley stood at the pulpit and patronized members with something akin to, “Now, now Brothers and Sisters, just settle yourselves down.”

But a seer* can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or, rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, and also things shall be made known by them which otherwise could not be known. (BOM, Mosiah 8:13-17)

I began to make mental notes of other issues that surfaced involving the Church/Brethren, but nothing compared to what I would learn after moving into a Utah ward/congregation, where the men folk held high positions in the Church.

In 1993, my husband and I attended an intimate gathering in the Chapel where we learned information about a historic initiation that would ultimately impact every single member of the Church—the origin of which has never been publicly announced, acknowledged, or credited, nor revealed to its membership …

Except as manifested by the eventual requirement of all members to supply free labor to clean and maintain chapels, temples, buildings, and their grounds. Additionally, free service is required from those who had once held previously paid positions as groundskeepers, gardeners, kitchen, cleaning, laundry staff, etc.

At that High Priest Group fireside, in attendance was our neighbor and newly appointed Second Counselor in the Office of the Presiding Bishopric. Although he was not the appointed speaker, he used up a good portion of the evening eager to report what they had recently accomplished in his new calling. His Office, he explained, was the “financial arm of the Church” and they had recently “hired Mitt Romney’s company, Bain Capital, to assess how the Church was run.

This was a disturbing admission, because if this was the Lord’s Only True Church ~ why wasn’t He telling the Brethren how to assess and run it? My neighbor further revealed that it was Mitt’s (“I like to be able to fire people.”) professional recommendation that the Church stop paying janitors, gardeners, kitchen and laundry staff, etc., and instead call them on “service missions” in order to gain free labor.

Even more shocking was my neighbor’s admission, “.. and we paid Bain a LOT of money to get that information! 

I wanted to ask him why they didn’t call Mitt, whose firstborn was named after my husband, on a “service mission” to get the info for free, but refrained. I well understood my status as a woman in a male-dominated Church/culture and had already taken it upon myself to ask if any women were on the finance committee ~ pretty sure that women, already burdened with large families  and church callings, would have been hard pressed to accept that proposal. To which he responded, “No, it’s a Priesthood Committee.” 

Even more horrifying is the thought that children and families may be going hungry or without paying life-sustaining bills and obligations, because they lost what little monetary sustenance those jobs had once provided, especially since members are mandated: “If paying tithing means that you cant pay for water or electricity, pay tithing. If paying tithing means that you cant pay your rent, pay tithing. Even if paying tithing means that you dont have enough money to feed your family, pay tithing.” (Ensign magazine, 12/2012, “Sacred Transformations.”)

That clandestine enterprise launched by the Church in 1993, culminating in 2019 with worldwide exposure to its surreptitious financial reserves, by WaPo and a whistleblower, has had a substantial bearing on its attrition.

And it came to pass that there arose a rebellion among the people, because of that secret combination which was built up to get power and gain; (BOM, Ether 11:15)

The following video* released on 12.19.2019 asserts that “the LDS Church could very well run the Church and all its businesses in perpetuity, without ever soliciting another dime in tithing from members.

Click for “Letter to an IRS Director (7 min); Re: $100 billion portfolio, Mormon Church.”

Nevertheless, and despite the Book of Mormon’s claim that “salvation is free,” the Church still requires a full tithing before members are allowed to enter the Temples. (BOM, 2 Nephi 2:4) To further impress upon members the importance of tithing, the Church released its own video* presentation 3.26.2022 entitled: Paying Tithing is the Greatest Investment You Will Ever Make.(Click to view.)

From another neighbor, besides a very disconcerting piece of information, I learned that the Brethren are well-rewarded with perks and benefits besides a generous stipend.* Not to mention what Grant Palmer** later revealed, putting to rest any possible notion or claim of a “Lay ministry.”

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s [and women’s] shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (NT, Matthew 23:4)

By the late 90’s, I no longer had a testimony of the Church, but told no one. And after 33 years of  marriage, convinced I was stuck “for all eternity,” I finally clawed my way to divorce in June of 2001. Unfortunately, it left me with a hard heart against men and the Church by virtue of programing and indoctrination that had negatively affected crucial and consequential decisions, leaving a wake of distress and despair.

In October 2001, I met a long-haired gentleman at an LDS Singles Dance, who also had growing concerns about the Church. After a few years, we lost touch until late October 2004, when “out of the blue,” he called to inform me that he thought “the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon may have been translated.” (BOM, 2 Nephi 27-28, Ether 4, Isaiah 29 JST)  

I was beside myself with excitement and anticipation ~ could this be the real deal? Because I didn’t have a PC or internet access, that evening Jay Benson showed up at my door with a copy of the retranslated 116-page Lost Manuscript and synopsis of each chapter from The Sealed Portion (TSP). I refrained from any judgment until I had a chance to study the rest of the thousand-page text in its entirety starting from the beginning to the end.

The next time I heard from Jay, who had already read TSP, was Christmas Eve. In a most solemn voice he relayed, “I spent a few days with the man Christopher in San Diego and am convinced that he is a true messenger and prophet of God.” He then promised to meet me at the printer’s the first Monday after Christmas 12.27.2004, so I could obtain a few copies of TSP, sure my friends and family would want a copy … or not. ☹

This was the first time I learned that the translator was living in San Diego, California. I had previously laid plans to live and work at the Optimum Health Institute in Lemon Grove, a suburb of SD, starting January 13, 2005, a stone’s throw from where the translator resided.

Curled up with a blanket on my sofa, before I had to leave for CA, day and night I read and reread the astonishing intelligence revealed on every page of TSP–stunning revelation after revelation that I had hoped and longed to hear at any and every LDS General Conference. Unable to stop long enough to prepare food, I subsisted on giant Hershey Almond Bars left over from Christmas. After moving to California, I started on a third reading and got half way through before it was time to meet up with Christopher, already convinced from my studies that he was indeed a true “Brother, Friend and Servant, Prophet, Seer, and Revelator,” as referenced in The Sealed Portion ~ The Final Testament of Jesus Christ.

The day before our arranged meeting, Christopher called me on the phone. The first words out of my mouth were, “Do you need money?” I was prepared to donate the equity I had miraculously received from the sale of the family home had he asked for it, already convinced was I of who he is, what he’s been called to do, the divinity of TSP, and ultimate goal of caring for the least among us as described in Matthew 25:31-46. (Worldwide United Foundation NKA The Humanity Party®)  

Christopher’s response was, “Geeze, girl, some man must have done a number on you!”

After meeting with him a couple times, I was crestfallen. How could this chosen One appear in the form and likeness of my ex-husband ~ arrogant and “all-knowing”??!!

While Christopher claims to no unique talents or abilities, he has access to certain “tools” to assist him in his calling, such as a restored memory/transfiguration,* “gold plates,” and the Urim and Thummim ~ (or “interpreters”) two stones that when joined together by One with the intrinsic patterning to actuate them, work like an advanced and sophisticated cell phone. As well as the tutelage and companionship of four transfigured immortals mentioned in both the Bible and Book of Mormon, who until recently resided on Earth well past the age of man. (NT, John 21:20-25, Matthew 2:1-12, BOM, 3 Nephi 28, Mosiah 8, RealIlluminati.org/faq)

And behold, the heavens were opened, and they were caught up into heaven, and saw and heard unspeakable things. And it was forbidden them that they should utter; neither was it given unto them power that they could utter the things which they saw and heard; And whether they were in the body or out of the body, they could not tell; for it did seem unto them like a transfiguration* of them, that they were changed from this body of flesh into an immortal state, that they could behold the things of God [all-knowing]. (BOM, 3 Nephi 28:15)

Yeah, I could ‘behold the things of God.’ I knew just as much about Real Truth as any god did or ever would. But so. What was I supposed to do with the beholding of such things? What good does it really do to have this knowledge … to know what God knows?

And my friends and supporters … Well, even the closest ones continue to lie to me, making up things that they think will give them value in my eyes … none of their lies ever does give them value in my eyes. In fact, it diminishes the value I have for them. They do not know that I can detect even their smallest lies. But I still love them. I understand how their flesh overwhelms them … that their spirit indeed is willing to support me, but their flesh is weak … Oh, my, how weak at times. — From Christopher’s post of June 16.2020 commemorating his transfiguration on June 16, 1987.

Wasting no time, he began utilizing that “sharp sickle/two-edged sword”* to breach my hard heart and rein in my pride. On more than one occasion, I was told to “stay away from [him] because I am a man and you are a man-hater.(*NT, Revelation 14:14)

The two most life-altering takeaways from this Marvelous Work and a Wonder® for me, that invites more peace into my life than anything else is to never judge another or their actions. Secondly, never give an opinion unless asked, and even then exercise extreme caution and restraint. Why would I want to be responsible for influencing another god by offering an opinion that may be right and appropriate for me, but not for them?! (yes, kids, I’m still working on it ;-)

In the nearly 20 years since my introduction to the “true work of the father,” I’ve had very, very few personal interactions with Christopher. However, I have had the mind-blowing opportunity to peruse his several books, listen to his many lectures, read his many posts, and watch his many videos as he describes and illustrates dark matter, gravity, magnetism, the planets, Universe, etc., like no scientist before him; as he reveals who we are, where we came from, why we exist, and where we go after death ~ including the consequences of our actions and inactions, that will either save or condemn the world.

Keep in mind that the Messenger is without letters or degrees behind his name.

Wherefore it shall come to pass, that the Lord God will deliver again the book and the words thereof to him that is not learned; and the man that is not learned shall say: I am not learned.

Then shall the Lord God say unto him: The learned shall not read them, for they have rejected them, and I am able to do mine own work; wherefore thou shalt read the words which I shall give unto thee. (BOM, 2 Nephi 27:19-20)

If you would like the opportunity to witness those “tools” in action, you, too, may peruse, listen, read, and watch his offerings ~ all FREE for the taking. And feel free to join him weekly at the MWAW “True Church of the Lamb of God.”* (“Behold there are save two churches only…” see BOM, 1 Nephi 14:10) [*Click link] Best approach it with a broken heart and contrite spirit (humbly), forgetting everything you think you know for sure (for a few minutes).

O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish. (BOM, 2 Nephi 9:28)

Oh, and one more thing … Why does Christopher occasionally swear and employ off-colored humor? Because if you knew who he really was you would either fall down at his feet and want to worship him, which he is loath to tolerate, or want to do to him what has been done to every other True Messenger/Prophet of God namely: Isaiah, Socrates, Jesus, Muhammed, and Joseph Smith. Thus he is compelled to isolate in the “cavity of a rock” until his mission is completed.

All the very best to you Dear Friends and Family in your search for Real Truth® ~ things as they really were in the past, as they really are in the present, and as they really will be in the future. ☺

I hope you enjoy one of my favorite songs, “Lead With Your Heart”: “In this world, it’s hard to tell the shadow from the light, what is real can find a way to hide behind the lies, don’t be fooled or ruled by voices all around you …

The Tenors – Lead With Your Heart

To our Beloved Messenger: THANK YOU for your enduring and longsuffering dedication to your Mission in the face of hate, mocking and ridicule. “You’ve been the truest friend that anyone could have and the love you always give I want you to get back …  been knocked down and found not everyone is what they show you. What is true will always be revealed.
