I grew up in Northern California a faithful Molly Mormon, BYU alum, married in the Oakland Temple, and eventually bore eight children. It was my understanding of the Book of Mormon (BOM, published 1830), and other scriptures that forced me to question many events and circumstances concerning the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormons) that started in 1985, with the Mark Hoffman matter.  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 forty-eight forgeries to the LDS/Mormon Church. To keep from being exposed as a fraud, he had murdered two people, and was caught attempting to murder a third which qualified him as a “Master Mahan, one who murders to get gain.”* His very next project, had he not been stopped, was to forge a version of the 116-pg. Lost Manuscript and destroy the Church. (*Pearl of Great Price, Moses 5:31, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_116_pages)

At the very next LDS General Conference expecting to hear a humble apology, or admission of guilt from men we were required to sustain as “prophets, seers, and revelators,” with an arm raised to the square, 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/Leaders, but nothing compared to what I would learn after moving into a Utah ward/congregation (1990) where the men folk held high positions in the Church.

In around 1993-94 my husband and I attended an intimate High Priest Group fireside where we learned information about a historic, Church-wide program initiation that would eventually impact every single member of the Church. Yet its origin has never been publicly announced, acknowledged, or revealed to the 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.

In attendance at that gathering was my neighbor and newly appointed Second Counselor in the Office of the Presiding Bishopric, Dick Edgley, and his dear wife, Pauline, with whom I visit taught (nka ministering). Although he was not the appointed speaker, he used up a good portion of the evening eager to report on what they had accomplished in his new calling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_C._Edgley

The Presiding Bishoprics Office, he explained, was the “financial arm of the Church” and that they had recently “hired Mitt Romney’s company, Bain Capital, to come in and assess how the Church was run.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital

This was a shocking admission because if this was the Lord’s only true church—why wasn’t He directing its Leaders how to assess and run it? Edgley further revealed that it was Mitt’s (“I like being able to fire people!”) professional recommendation that the Church essentially “fire” formerly employed/paid janitors, gardeners, groundskeepers, kitchen and laundry staff, etc., and call them on “service missions” in order to gain free labor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney

“Neither have I suffered that ye should be confined in dungeons, nor that ye should make slaves one of another, nor that ye should murder, or plunder, or steal, or commit adultery; nor even have I suffered that ye should commit any manner of wickedness, and have taught you that ye should keep the commandments of the Lord, in all things which he hath commanded you—And even I, myself, have labored with mine own hands that I might serve you, and that ye should not be laden with taxes, and that there should nothing come upon you which was grievous to be borne—and of all these things which I have spoken, ye yourselves are witnesses this day.” (BOM, Mosiah 2:13-14)

At least nothing that would require members to go hungry or homeless …  

 “If paying tithing means that you can’t pay for water or electricity, pay tithing. If paying tithing means that you can’t pay your rent, pay tithing. Even if paying tithing means that you don’t have enough money to feed your family, pay tithing.” (“Sacred Transformations” Ensign nka The Liahona, 12/2012)

This allowed the Church to further stack its portfolio with tithing dollars and become the wealthiest institution in the world.

Wasn’t that counsel from the Ensign given to members about the same time that President Thomas S. Monson and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles completed and dedicated the $2+ Billion SL City Creek Mall? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOx1sA0Femo)

“For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.” (NT, Matthew 23:4)

“Mormon peeps, it is now clear that the funds to build City Creek Mall in Salt Lake City came from the interest on tithing funds, just not from the principal. But there would be no interest without the original tithing monies.” (Peggy Fletcher Stack, Religion Reporter, Salt Lake Tribune, August 20, 2021) (emphasis added)

Even more disturbing was Edgley’s admission “… and we paid Bain a LOT of money to get that information.”

I wanted to ask Edgley why they didn’t call Mitt on a “service mission” to get that 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. To which he answered “No, it’s a Priesthood Committee.”

 That clandestine enterprise launched by the Church in 1993-94, culminated in 2019 with worldwide exposure of its surreptitious financial reserves by WaPo and a whistleblower, has had a substantial bearing on the Church’s current rate of 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)

“And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old, according to the combinations of the devil [human nature/pride/ego], for he is the founder of all these things; yea, the founder of murder, and works of darkness; yea, and he leadeth them by the neck with a flaxen cord, until he binds them with his strong cords forever. (BOM 2 Nephi 26:22)

Secret Combinations: “An organization of people bound together by oaths to carry out the evil purposes of the group.” In this case the Secret Combination of Politics [Romney], Business [Bain Capital], & Religion [LDS Church].

“Isaiah’s reference to the leaders of the people (‘thy princes’) who are ‘companions of thieves’ can be related to the modern secret deals that use backroom agreements to combine the efforts and desires of the rich and powerful politicians and leaders to control and manipulate the laws that govern society.

“Believing that they are acting under the inspiration of God, these leaders, who more often than not personally ascribe to some type of religious belief, combine their ability to persuade the people with power and the rule of law to force the people to submit to his/her desires. Religion uses the power of persuasion to control the masses. Politics uses the power of threat and force.

“Combined in secret, or rather, working in unison with each other without people being aware of what they are doing, these two forces maintain the structure of human society.

“In their messages and prophecies to the people of the earth, True Messengers have always warned people about these secret combinations (‘companions of thieves’). In modern times, the creation of the corporate entity allows the power of religion to be closely associated with the rules that support politics and business.

“For example, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was incorporated as a legal entity (thus becoming a secret combination). It is legally known and operates under the protection of corporate law such as the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“(The word of the Lord), since they concentrate on the vain things of the world, which includes praise of the whole world, Corporate interests do not support equality, nor are they dedicated to spreading equality and eliminating the need among human beings. In general, a corporate entity that grants an entity status (that is, a natural or legal person created under the authority of the laws of a state’) that exists with its own rights, privileges and responsibilities that are legally Separated of its members.

“If a religious system incorporates, it can make a distinction between corporate action and member action. The corporation has no moral obligation to care for the poor and needy; While a religious belief incorporates charity as one of its basic components. Combining religious belief with corporate law allows church leaders to justify their desire for the vain things of the world [like a Shopping Mall] and remove the moral stigma of giving ‘gifts’ to political and business leaders [for example:  grossly remunerating Mitt / Bain Capital while requiring the poor to go without the most basic necessities in order to maintain their tithing obligation]. (Isaiah 1:23)

“The investments of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have made this Church one of the worldliest successful institutions in all the world. They do not use their wealth and power to do good, they use it to remain part of the ‘great and abominable church’ that keeps the descendants of the Nephites and the Lamanites from entering the borders of their land.

“They do not use their great wealth, and the combination of power that they have in secret with governments and businesses, to make the world a better place. They use their great wealth to build temples and churches, malls, and structures from which they receive the praise of the world.” (emphasis added)

—from Christopher, a True Messenger

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

Despite the Book of Mormon promise that “salvation is free,” the Church continues to require a full tithe before members are allowed to enter its Temples that Joseph never stipulated. (BOM 2 Nephi 2:4)

“Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men [and women regardless of the color of their skin, whom they love, affordability, etc.]; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance.” (BOM 2 Nephi 26:27)

 From another neighbor besides a very disconcerting piece of information, I learned that Leaders (and Church’s office workforce) are very well-rewarded with perks and benefits (i.e., their children and grandchildren are able to attend the Church’s colleges/universities for free) in addition to a generous stipend,* putting to rest any notion or claim of a Lay Ministry.**  Not to mention the info Grant Palmer*** later revealed. (BOM Alma 5:53-60)

To further impress upon members the obligation of tithing, the Church released its own video presentation 3/26/2022: Paying Tithing is the Greatest Investment You Will Ever Make.

__________________

Around 1990 I developed a stressed related illness and rather than take the Doctor’s recommended course to cut, burn, or medicate, I opted for the Optimum Health Institute’s [OHI] natural treatments that I’d heard about from my Mother [1921-1982] many years before. Except I didn’t have the funds to go and abhorred thoughts of begging or borrowing.

After many years of ideating on suicide which thoughts of abandoning my sweet little children, who were my raison d’etre, kept me from acting on it; I made the conscious decision to live! This gave me the courage to call an old friend from high school and ask if I could borrow “a lot” of money.

“How much?” he asked.

“$500.” I answered.

He chuckled, “Would it help if I gave you $1,000?”

This generous offer afforded me plane fare and the opportunity to attend OHI’s required 3-week course that would, at some future date, allow me to return to OHI as a Working Guest for 6 months.

I was originally scheduled to return September 2004, but a concerning divorce court hearing that involved some of my children dashed that plan. I had to relocate a couple of their living arrangements and revise my own plans. OHI’s coordinator was not happy with me.

This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I would have gone to California and possibly returned to Utah before learning about The Sealed Portion [TSP], or having had the opportunity to meet the Messenger, Sheri II, and other participants that marked the beginning of an inconceivable journey!

I repaid the loan in-kind with artwork.

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 November 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.  

I was beside myself with excitement and anticipation – could this be the real deal? Although available free of charge on the internet, I did not have a PC or internet access. That evening Jay Benson showed up at my door with a printed copy of the retranslated 116-pg. Lost Manuscript The  Book of Lehi – Real Illuminati and synopsis heading of each chapter from The Sealed Portion ~ The Final Testament of Jesus Christ.

The Lost Manuscript did not resonate with me initially convinced that’s what I would write to vilify a Church I had issues with, but refrained from any judgment until I had a chance to study the 800 pages, 100 Chapters of TSP from beginning to end.

The next time I heard from Jay was Christmas Eve. In a most solemn voice he relayed I’m just returning from a trip to San Diego after having spent a few days with the man, Christopher, and am convinced that he is indeed a true messenger and prophet of God.

I pestered Jay until he promised to meet me at the printer’s the first Monday after Christmas 12/27/2004, so I could make several copies from his certain my friends and family would also want a copy ~ or not. ☹

This was also the first I learned that the translator was living in San Diego, CA. I had previously laid plans to be a Working Guest starting 1/13/2005 at the Optimum Health Institute in Lemon Grove, a suburb of SD and 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 with  wonderment and foreboding trepidation at the astonishing intelligence revealed on every page. Stunning revelation after revelation exactly as scriptures foretold* and that I had longed to hear at LDS General Conferences! Unable to stop long enough to prepare food, I subsisted on giant Hershey Almond Bars left over from Christmas.

*“And behold the book shall be sealed; and in the book shall be a revelation from God from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof…” and “… there never were greater things made manifest than those which were made manifest unto the brother of Jared…They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.” (BOM 2 Nephi 27)

All the while lurking in the back of my mind, wondering if I wasn’t being supplied with ninety-nine remarkable truths in order for Satan to slip in one big lie, as we’d been warned. I got half way through TSP to Ch. 50 and there it was … introducing the Worldwide United Foundation [WUF] convinced I would now be solicited for beaucoup bucks to assure its success … the One Big Lie!

I put the book down and for the first time since I started reading ate a nutritious meal, cleaned up, and went outside for a walk in the frigid mountain air to regroup. Refreshed after half an hour, I went back inside compelled to my sofa and TSP, greatly relieved to learn that not a single dollar would be required for the WUF to be implemented, and achieve success.

My second cousin by marriage, the late Ida Smith [1931-2015], great, great granddaughter of Hyrum Smith (Joseph’s beloved older brother), whose Search for Truth and story, “My Journey Towards the Light”, is featured in the book I was assigned to write;* astounded by the contents of The Sealed Portion but likewise unsettled, recorded in her daily journal “…is it possible that I could be one of the elect that is being deceived?”

“For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant.” (NT Matthew 1:22)

Educator, academic administrator and founder/director of the Women’s Research Institute [1979-1983] during her tenure at BYU, Ida is distinguished for having the audacity to place, in the last remaining plot of the Hyrum Smith Family section of the SLC Cemetery, a headstone heralding a living person that she came to love and revere as the world’s Last and Only True Messenger!

*

One might question: Why LDS members, as well as ex and former members are so terrified to read The Sealed Portion and consistently reject it out of hand, when it was prophesied to come forth in both the Bible and their Book of Mormon. Especially when there has never been a portent, prophecy, or commandment delivered from God himself, that counseled members not to look …  

“And he did straiten [distress] them in the wilderness with his rod; for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have; and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity. He sent fiery flying serpents among them; and after they were bitten he prepared a way that they might be healed; and the labor which they had to perform was to look; and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished.” (BOM 1 Nephi 17:41, OT Numbers 21:8-9; BOM 2 Nephi 26-27, Ether 3-4, OT Isaiah 29, etc.)

Nor has there ever been a prophecy or commandment from God that dictated or specified that The Sealed Portion should only come through LDS hierarchy; a succession of men (see TSP Ch. 83:80-81) who, many years ago, cleverly preempted members never to question, debate, or criticize them, or else risk damning eternal consequences:

“When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan–it is God’s plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy. God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God.”  (emphasis added, from the Church’s periodical, The Improvement Era nka The Liahona, June 1945)

If “The glory of God is intelligence, or in other words, light and truth” how can we gain knowledge or intelligence if we are limited by what, where or who we are allowed to read, research, question, or debate? Moreover, what are those who impose such restrictions afraid of? If this is God’s only true church shouldn’t it be able to withstand scrutiny and investigation? (D&C 93:36)

“If we have truth, [it] cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not truth, it ought to be harmed.” —by Jay Reuben Clark (1871-1961), an American attorney, civil servant, and a prominent leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

After arriving in California, I started on a third reading and got halfway through before it was time to arrange a meet up with the Messenger; more than ever convinced TSP is authentic and Christopher a true “Brother, Friend and Servant, Prophet, Seer, and Revelator,” as referenced therein. Whose primary objective is to eliminate worldwide poverty and restore peace on earth by caring for “the least among us,” with the extraordinary and comprehensive platform/blueprint originally introduced in TSP as WUF nka The Humanity Party®. (NT, Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 6:10)

Albeit, I waited nearly 3 months before contacting him as I knew from my studies that he would “know your heart.”  I had much accumulated bitterness and rancor that necessitates censure, “… lest [I] walk naked, and they see [my] own shame…,” from a True Messenger, who figuratively “sits upon a white horse” and whose divine commission requires that he wield a sharp sickle, even a sharp, two-edged sword—exactly as John describes him in the book of Revelation “… the One LIKE unto the Son of Man.”   (emphasis added, NT Revelation 14:14, 1:13-16, 14:14-17, 16:15, 666, The Mark of America—Seat of the Beast, Ch. 14)

Wasting no time he began utilizing that sharp sickle 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.”

How else can I/we hope to be brought down into the depths of humility and repentance when the BOM reveals “… there shall be none that doeth good among you—no not one.” (BOM Mosiah 21:14, Moroni 10:25, D&C 104:79)

The day before our arranged meeting Christopher called me on the phone. The first words out of my mouth were, “Do you need money?”

While I was prepared to donate a portion of the equity from the sale of our family home this was a test of sorts. And I was much relieved when, instead of quizzing me for details regarding a monetary donation, Christopher responded “Geeze, girl, some man must have done a number on you!”

After meeting with him a few times I was crestfallen. How could the Messenger appear in the likeness of my ex-husband: arrogant and all-knowing?!

While Christopher, the son of Michael and Diane, humbly claims to have no unique talents or abilities, he has access to the same tools that young Joseph did to assist him in his calling. These include a fully restored memory, or rather “transfiguration”* (enlightenment/illumination),  the famed Gold Plates,** and Urim and Thummim [U&T]***: two stones, NOT in a hat though the legend continues, that when joined together by the only One with the intrinsic patterning to actuate them work like an advanced and sophisticated cell phone. The Seer Stone is like a  Smart Phone…

  • * “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)

 

 

  • *** “Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim—deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted “seers” in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book.”(JSH 1:34–37)

Christopher also has access to the tutelage and companionship of four transfigured immortals the

Biblical and LDS communities should recognize as John, the Beloved (“promised to tarry”) and The Three Nephites (“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,” “three wise men,”  aka “Timothy, Mathoni and Mathonihah”) nka the Real Illuminati®. (NT, John 21:20-25, Matthew 2:1-12, OT Daniel 3:26, BOM 3 Nephi 19:4, 28, RealIlluminati.org/faq,  Are John the Beloved and the Three Nephites actually still on the earth? If so, what are they doing?)

— From Christopher’s post of June 16, 2020 commemorating his transfiguration on June 16, 1987:

 “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.”

(emphasis added)

In the twenty plus years since my introduction to his Works, I’ve had very, very few personal interactions or communications with Christopher. However, I did have the opportunity when he went to court several years ago to serve as a gofer: procuring and depositing court documents, serving summons, notifying interested parties of court dates and locations, and offering summaries as best I could for those unable to attend his hearings, etc.

Being present at those hearings gave me the opportunity to witness him “brought like a lamb to the slaughter,” as judges mocked and belittled him, often refusing to allow him to respond sufficiently, or fully present his cases. One judge* called Christopher a “troglodyte” then proceeded to question and mock his wife, Sheri II, when she was on the stand, for being “legally married to this man?” (OT Isaiah 53:7, *Retired Judge Found Dead in Suspected Suicide Police Say)

Christopher sued for visitation rights to see his children and while I can’t vouch for him as a husband, what I have observed about him over the years is that he is a natural born father of 9 children, 3 of whom he delivered in a converted school bus, and lovingly cared for the 5 children of a woman he rescued from polygamy. Which surely had to be one of the reasons all the women resisted leaving him when he admitted he didn’t believe in polygamy and no longer wished to participate. (https://christophernemelka.com/personal-history-videos/)

Tragically, they all retaliated by denying him access to their children. Regardless not one of them returned to the practice of polygamy which was Christopher’s original intention. And one of them, with his assistance, went on to publicly decry and condemn the practice:

(https://soundcloud.com/victoriaprunty/ktkk-radio-630-am-1998-polygamy-interview-w-van-hale-vicky-prunty-christopher-nemelka)

I was also present shortly before a hearing when Christopher received a call from his attorney brother, Joe, informing him that 5 burly bailiffs were ordered to attend one of his hearings, in “anticipation of an incident.” No doubt Joe assured them that it is not within Christopher’s character to ever create an incident, or pose a threat to anyone. Accordingly they were all disbanded before the hearing took place.

The first of Christopher’s court hearings I was privileged to attend was late 2005 to resolve his “fugitive from justice” status. A few years previously, he had appeared before an LDS/Mormon judge as evidenced by the CTR (Choose The Right) ring she was wearing. After being plied with multiple complaints from ex-wives and hurt women, Judge Denise P. Lindberg announced in court “It’s no secret I don’t like you, Mr. Nemelka.” She then sentenced him to a year in jail for violation of a Protective Order, a “Class A” Misdemeanor, and a PO that Christopher himself, insisted remain in place to assure no future contact.

 Christopher was legitimately released from jail several months shy of a year for “good time” when he went to visit his children with his new wife, Sheri I. Word filtered back through his angry ex-wives and hurt women to Judge Lindberg. He was then returned to jail to finish out his sentence when the judge punitively tacked on a two-year ankle monitor order, which I believe is what prompted him to flee the state. Judge Lindberg then “back dated and took away his good-time” and “deleted incriminating evidence” from court transcripts.

“And now behold, I say unto you, that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges.” (BOM Alma 10:27)

After the hearing was over and everyone had left I heard him mutter under his breath “I’m going to run.” This was not only evidence of how punishingly mistreated he’d been by ex-wives, hurt women, and a female judge … but what little hope he had in a “justice system” going forward that he knew would be his future fate. (Nemelka v. Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. et al; Idaho Court Hearing, etc.)

This was crushing to hear and I wondered how we’d ever get the MWAW off the ground if he were to run. Thus I timidly pleaded “Christopher, you can’t do that.”

He humbly replied, “I know.”

He later sued Judge Lindberg for what she’d illegally done, but of course he lost that case, too. Like most who cannot afford an attorney and have no other option than to proceed pro se, “a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.”

When all the details of Christopher’s life are told in their entirety, you’ll understand why he alone was uniquely prepared and qualified for this singular Mission and how all his life’s experiences prepared him for the role of the world’s Final Chosen Messenger:

“Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen? Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.” (D&C 121:34-36)

I hope that one day his children and grandchildren will come to understand the lengths he went to and the humiliation he endured trying to have a relationship with them. You can read all the details in his forthcoming autobiography. The man is a veritable open book; honest to a fault! The Man From Joe’s Bar & Grill.)

__________

I’ve had several email exchanges and phone conversations over the years with one of those “hurt women.” I’ll call her Katerina who, coincidentally, also offered monetary donations to Christopher to help fund the translation of the sealed portion. I’d like to offer some insight as to why she reacted so strongly to Christopher that in no way is exclusive to her only.

In Christopher’s presence, which has nothing to do with what he says or does, or how he acts, looks or dresses; it has ALL to do with WHO he is, an Overseer/True Messenger and WHAT he “… was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times …” to accomplish. (NT 1 Peter 1:20)

Before I met the Messenger, I had the benefit of learning about him from TSP. (Katerina did not although I sent a hard copy to her.) Still she recognized that he was “different,” “special,” even claimed to have “seen him in [her] dream.”

In his presence, individuals frequently struggle with feelings of inferiority, jealousy, or defensiveness, often leading to attempts to validate themselves or undermine him.  As noted above, people sometimes invent stories to gain value in his eyes despite his consistent message that, “We are all equal gods including [him].”

Inasmuch as Katerina recognized early on that he was unique, she started seeking more of his attention. When she did not receive it, she began to publicly leverage her association with him that escalated and evolved over two decades: contacting media outlets (even before he was released from jail), movie producers, and podcasters, to creating a website in his name (2015), targeting Christopher and his followers, that eventually resulted in a court hearing (2025) into which she inserted herself “to save [me] from being deceived like [she] was.”

Despite her most recent proclamation (summer 2026) to “seek justice” through popular podcasters, thorough investigations over the years have consistently found no legal wrongdoing on his part. Whatever form of “justice” Katerina may be seeking, she has yet to specify or quantify.

About 12 or 13 years ago after having received a particularly harsh public rebuke from Christopher, Katerina called me on the phone assuming that I would now turn against him. She even offered an inducement in the form of a small check under the guise of “gifts for [my] children.” I normally would not have accepted it, but thought if I donated it to the MWAW Trust it might have the effect of softening her heart. I suppose a throwback to my active LDS days of submitting names to the Temple prayer roll.

Interestingly, Christopher has acknowledged that his very brief interface with Katerina (2001) highlighted a need for the sealed portion within the LDS community, prompting him to embrace the role that he ran from for twelve years. Though I have encouraged her to recognize her positive contribution rather than to continue  “… evil speaking of the Lord’s anointed,”* she has chosen not to do so. (*Sacred, but NOT Secret)

Ultimately, after having watched a police recorded interview of Christopher’s detractors, it appears that they are causing more harm to themselves than to his Works, which continue forward regardless.

Over the years I have had the mind-blowing opportunity to study the Messenger’s several books, listen to his many lectures, read his prolific posts, and watch his many videos (all Free for the taking), as he describes and illustrates dark matter, gravity, magnetism, quantum physics, the Earth, planets and the Universe, etc.;  revealing who we are, where we come from, why we exist, and what happens at death that no other has been able to answer with consistency, plausibility, or articulate with authority, clarity, and completeness …

Including the consequences of our actions and inactions if we fail to live the Law of the Gospel as contained within the Sermon on the Mount—the Golden Rule found within all cultures that will either save or condemn the world. (The Fullness of the Everlasting Gospel – Real Illuminati® ):

“And he did expound all things, even from the beginning until the time that he should come in his glory —yea, even all things which should come upon the face of the earth, even until the elements should melt with fervent heat, and the earth should be wrapt together as a scroll, and the heavens and the earth should pass away;” (BOM 3 Nephi 26:3, Mormon 9:2)

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (NT 2 Peter 3:10)

Keep in mind that the Messenger is without letters or degrees:

“Wherefore it shall come to pass, that the Lord God will deliver again the book [Joseph being the first] 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)

No other human, or groups of humans can compare to the Messenger’s massive output and collection of original and unparalleled works. He is without equal when it comes to knowledge, understanding, expounding, or command of scriptures.

If you would like to hear from, converse with, or challenge, question, or debate him in real-time, you are welcomed to join him in Zoom meetings at the University of Real Truth and Eternal Intelligence.

Best approach him with a “broken heart and contrite spirit” (humbly), setting aside everything you think you know for sure (if only temporarily). Remember he wields a sharp sickle/two-edged sword and although symbolic—it cuts to the core.

“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 use profanity and employ off-colored humor, a practice that cause many to declare “Jesus would never act like that!”  Well, then Why do you suppose they killed him?

“But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the ‘thief’ would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to have been broken up, but would have been ready.”  (NT Matthew 1:47)

“We distressed ‘frogs’ do not consciously recognize the One against whom we are fighting. Our leaders and others in whom we put our trust, will continue to depict this unseen ‘threat’ as our worst enemy, until we are convinced by ‘the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet’ that he, this One who some say is the Anti-Christ, is nothing but a ‘thief’ who comes to take away our worldly possessions, knock down our picket fences, and destroy our families and our happy homes.

“Therefore, because we are distressed ‘frogs’ out of water, we seek out and listen to ‘the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.’ We have busied ourselves in many ways, attempting to secure our worldly posses­sions and protect our beloved families from this enemy that we consciously do not recognize. Who is this enemy, this threat, this happiness-robbing Anti-Christ, against whom we are fighting?

“Here is a clue from Matthew 10:34: ‘One came saying:’

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.  (Matthew 10:34)

“Yes, our worst enemy ‘sits upon a white horse’ with a ‘sharp two-edged sword coming out of his mouth’ to slay us and take away all the glory of the world we created for our own pleasure. He slays those we love and worship: our sports, movie and music stars, our secular leaders, our religious leaders and all ‘false prophets.’ He comes to destroy the ‘American Dream.’

“For this reason, he was referred to by Isaiah as ‘the Prince of Peace.’”

(from 666, The Mark of America—Seat of the Beast, Ch. 16)

If you knew who Christopher 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 namely: Isaiah, Socrates, Jesus, Muhammed, Samuel the Lamanite, Joseph Smith, etc. Thus our Messenger is compelled to isolate in the “cavity of a rock” for his safety and preservation until his mission is complete.  (BOM Ether 13:13-14,18, & 22)

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. (D&C 93:24, BOM Jacob 4:13) ☺

Please enjoy one of my favorite songs, The Tenors – 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 … ”

To our Beloved Messenger: OUR DEEPEST GRATITUDE 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. You’ve been knocked down and found not everyone is what they show you. What is true will always be revealed.”
