Your Retirement Account

The faithful people of Short Creek were promised that if they consecrated their monies, time and effort into supporting the Storehouse, they would be taken care of in their old age. There was no need for a retirement account.

Take a look at the old people in the Creek. The store house is not there for them. WJ kicked out most of those that were needing a little money to live off.

Oh Whoops! I guess you do need a retirement account after all.

Well, I guess they joined the real world. Retirement happens to every one some time; They all die. Then they do not have to pay the debt of the Government. It is left to the next of kin. And I hope you are all faithful, so you can rest in heaven, cause there is none in the other spectrum.

Ya, Ya, I know the spectrum is full of un-precidented sensationalism, not based on fact; but what-ever. Life goes on. I hope you poor picked on people find a little money in your basket of complaining.

My father was told he would not live long enough for Social Security benefits, so pull them early.

Oops--I didn't mean he wouldn't live, the economy wouldn't live long enough.

Well, do not blame your fathers brain cells on others. I was told a lot of things too, but how much did your father promote cheating as the saving of his soul. And is he sure that is what he was told or is it what he wanted to hear, and the government is always worried social security would not last, and to me all government agencys are dishonoset as they take money from people and put very little back into the people. I think people would be better off, to put there own savings for retirement into there own hands and not the government, but hey; as long as they give it they have to live with the decisions of there brain cells. Who you gona blame the weather on? Poor dude.

wadda ya mean, worried about retirement? You got how many kids 10,20,50 or more per family? Between them all, they can't take care of Moms and Pop? What about stuff like "strong family ties" and "we take care of our own"? All true except when it comes down to the 'O Mighty Dollar, huh? only goes to show....

It's alright, I'm sure the government will figure away to squeeze a few more bucks out of my paycheck to make sure your old folks won't starve. Don't worry.

10,20 50 kids would be nice, but they are calling someone else dad and watchin mom be an adulterer. This does not give dad very much money, when he has been kicked out and living somewhere else.

And when did you ever help any one? It ain't like these old, poor, picked on, brain washed people take hand out's. Get a grip. The government does not give. It takes, and then it puts out its complaints because a person wants to eat. Get a grip on reality. You are dreamers if you think your tax pays for anything in the Creek. Oh, I am sure there is a lot of money spent to destroy people there; And with all the blame----------get a grip on your lip.

First of all, don't believe all the shoddy media stories. They have one motive, and that is to sell their magazines and papers. I have have had personal experience in that line of publicity. They don't always tell it like it is!

Second, I'll wager that you are an angry, hateful, pissed off person with life in general. You haven't walked in their shoes. They pay taxes too.

Get off your high horse and be happy for a change!

Everyone in America wants one of some kind. Everyone in America gets one be it use of public roads, postal service, education, defense spending, space programs, building dams for hydroelectric power, flood control or whatever. These and 100,000 other E N T I T L E M E N T S are where your purloined tax dollars go. Everyone thinks he or she is being robbed. Yet they think nothing about driving 200 miles over a paved road that passes over real estate of little or no importance. Who pays for your convenience? Everyone, that's who. So quit your bellyaching.

I worked my whole life building up the UEP as did my father before me.I was told that if I turned in material,labor and money while I was young and middle aged, then when I was old and feeble, I and my family would have access to the storehouse to have our needs met.

Warrens "retirement" plan is not what
I had been told about and is certainly not what
I was expecting.

Warren just scams us out of our time and money and continually demands more or we face losing our families.Then kicks us out as an example to others when we can no longer pay the requested donations.

It's up to me now to start secretly diverting some of my money that Warren is expecting in to a real retirement account.Hopefully it's not to late for an old dog to learn knew tricks.

This is a great website and is fast becoming a favorite of mine.

The Lord said, if you give something, to some one who needs it, then you, would be blessed beyond your comprehension. To say you have no retirement is to acknowledge You have stopped blessing other's. It is to advertise that you are selfish, like the dead sea, that only takes and never gives. So, get a grip on your lip! Christ gave all, and Men are selfish. He gave Us all the earth and you squabble over a bit of dirt. HE gave you life and you fight over stuff. He gave you life and you hate your neighbor. Get a grip on your lip and your brain cells. Accusing only gives energy to negative things. There are as many good things to talk about. Try that for a change.

UEP simply has not had the cash backing, sustained growth, or wise investment required to be an all things to all people program. Utopia was a dream never a possibility. Like an old saying in German Central Texas, "Vy ist it ve git tu zoon oldt unt tu late schmardt?"

Question from a Shoddy Media Type....What part of this weird story has been told wrong?

Anonymous said...

The LORD does have prophets, but Warren Jeffs is simply not a true prophet. If the Colorado City bunch would have heeded the following warning given by revelation from the LORD around 1974 to Leroy Johnson, they would not be in the economic mess they are in now.

Revelation received about 1974

Behold I say unto you My servant Leroy, humble thyself before Me, and repent of all thy sins.
2 For I am God, even the God of Israel who speaketh through My Servant whom I have chosen;
and man speaketh not these words.
3 For thou hast sinned greatly in that ye have assumed powers that ye have not, and ye have listened to those who are wicked men.
...
15 Neither do ye have authority to collect tithes, for ye have not been given this commission, for this has been given to the bishops of My church, and all others who collect tithes in My name shall be cursed, saith the LORD.
16 And many have sought to use this power for their own profit; behold, I say unto thee that this is priestcraft, and whoso profiteth from this in this manner shall be damned.

Most of the younger people that are leaving and have left the creek, didn't know and have no use for Leroy S Johnson. Speaking for myself, I didn't know him and it makes me angry to hear people quote him like they quote Uncle Rulon or Uncle Warren. He is no different than them. He drove people off then and cut people off the church and did marriages that should have never happened. People that hang on to his words are just like the ones that hang on to Warrens words.

You men & women keep looking for your prophet on earth and you'll keep coming up with zero. Oh no doubt you will continut to be plagued with many who come forward proclaiming to have been set apart, that they only have the word, and you fall for that line again and again.

You want to re-invent the wheel, Gods Word, but it has been around, in one translation or another since the time of Paul and John the Apostles. None since then are true, they are fabrications for purpose of control of the "flock" they are only wanna be gospels.

"And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free." is a direct quotation from John 8:32 You're not gonna find the TRUTH at priesthood council, that's for sure, because, if you will only admit it, or even have the guts to investigate what those guys put out as truth before you bite, hook-line & sinker, that is where all your troubles have started that that is from whence all your troubles will continue.

Pray unto the Lord your God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, asking in the name of the Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ that His Holy Spirit deliver you from all your sin, turn away from your trust in mankind and his sinful ways and come close, following the drawing of the Holy Spirit, not the voice of man and escape the wrath of the madmen you have been taught to believe and follow.

If you have the freedom to read this blog. Then you in all probability know of a "Help Group" who will assist you in escaping your confinement. Start making plans, now. When you know where to go. Act.

Is God running the "Help Goup"? Or is it just some particular men you don't want me to listen to? You deny any modern revelation and tell me not to follow a man's advice, then you tell me to go to a help center run by men; or follow my own interpretation/advice which is that of a man, isn't it?

I'm just betting that the leadership you get from your "Priesthood" is not in your best interest. They have an agenda. I don't live in your area but Salvation Army is a good bet and they are interested in helping folks in trouble. Their national commander earns $13,00.00 a year whereas the National Chairman of the American Red Cross draws over $650,000.00, go figure who has an agenda.

Not being FLDS I'll have to take our word regarding Leroy Johnson. I just find it difficult to accept any post Biblical writings as Holy writ or especially as divinly inspired. Quotations of Paul's writings, when compared to most ancient manuscripts of the Law and the Prophets translate exactly the same, without deviation. Beginning in the 9th Chapter of Romans Paul, a Jew by birth, laments the rejection of Messiah, Jesus, and even wishes that he, Paul, could suffer their fate. If that is not love, than I have never seen it exhibited.

I did know Roy Johnson, though only a little bit. I think he did the best he could given the circumstances.I know that he helped all the people return to their homes in short creek after the 53 raid. He became a hero to the navajo people by his actions, and he always preached for families. I don't know that he was a prophet, but he was a very good man, doing the best he could. After falling ill, the Barlow boys manipulated him to kick out their rivals, Now the evil Warren has done in the Barlows and destroyed all the good that existed in the community after destroying the Barlows. Warren will get his dues, they always do. It's sad that innocent people have to go down with him.

As a child I used to listen to broadcasts from LDS, SLC via radio, then attend my own church. to tell you the truth I never felt the inspiration or love demonstrated from LDS teaching as I did from my own church, its teachers and leaders. Oh the Tabernaccle Choir was marvelous, but the teaching from the pulpit was straight from a box, without inspiration. I, after over fifty years still hold the same opinion.

I have traveled far and wide and heard preaching and teaching from those I thought to be inspired of self and to those inspired of God. I have tuned to BYU and listened to some of their progams and still get the impression that there is no deviation, no personal opinion, no revelation, just dogma straight out of a box. I have listed to tapes of Warren Jeffs and was disgusted with his sanctimonious and absurd racist remarks. If this is typical of FLDS teaching then I say again, canned religion.

During these years I have studied, been taught and studied in order to teach and have then taught the truths from the Bible.

I feel that I have gained wisdom and insight from these many experiences thus enabling me to be able to know, for the most part, truth from error and liars from those who tell the truth. That is all I can base my testimony upon. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.

You make a good point. I do not know offhand where any of these men put this title upon themselves. Men that have had an agenda of personal agrandizement have foisted it on them. I left before Rulon Jeffs died (but after he had his last stroke), so I can't be certain about his last public talks. From those present I have only been able to trace all claims to several women who have proclaimed him the 'prophet' after U. Rulon's death. Both of them had been married to U. Rulon.

I agree with your opinion of the LDS teachings of the past 50-100 years. That is why I consider myself a Mormon Fundamentalist. The LDS church as a whole departed from the principles that JS taught. His teachings exemplified and supported the Holy Scriptures. Until the late '70s our group held to his teachings.

Leroy Johnson was the last of our leaders that really stood up to the men around him and held to the Fundamentals. Then in the last 5-6 years of his life he was very ill and men took advantage of his weakened condition. Much like warren did with his father. Aspiring men began to teach this man-worship and then they would give him (Johnson) credit for saying things he never said. This planted the seed for which warren is harvesting now.

I appreciate your testimony and explanation of your position. I say may God bless you in your efforts to understand and teach. I truly believe that if each of us does the best we can with the knowlege and experiences we are blessed with we will meet with the smiles of our Saviour one day.

If you press my name it will go to a site that talks about these revelations. www.2bc.info.

The book is called the Second Book of Commandments. The first revelation in it was in 1961. It continues today. It authorizes a work similar to the work of the prophet John the Baptist.

I couldn't find a name to any of the revelations listed on this site. Who is responsible for them? JS, BY, JT, WW all put their name to those they received. What about it?

I know I am way off topic here. My apologies to all those wishing we would take this somewhere else. This is the last question.

Something about an agreement for a State takeover of the school district. The Superintendent and the Business Manager agreed to retire and resign, and the State will move in and "fix" things.

When the State is done "fixing" things, I assume the school district will have to wear one of those white vunnel things around its neck for a while.

If your bus drivers, maintenance people, janitors etc. hadn't been making salaries far above the national average and of which all were members of the local FLDS. While in the meantime teachers and others who held skilled positions, those requiring special education and education to be qualified for the position were not receiving salaries equil to those received by their peers within the state, in all probability your "cash cow" would have remained within your control. The audit indicated so many instances where monies were skimmed from the school to be used by FLSD for airplanes, expense accounts, salaries to people who did nothing etc. Comparison of the cost per student in the CCSD against those surrounding it were astronomical yet the ability of those graduating was inferior.

Now, go figure out why you no longer have control of the school.

Once again, your Priesthood not only steals from you directly, it also has proven to be a thief of funds provided by the state, as matching funds, to assist in educating your children.

No doubt this too will be explained away as the fault of the State and Federal Government by the very ones who took the money.

To Anonymous 12/03/2005 12:30 PM: John Y Barlow, Leroy Johnson and Rulon Jeffs believed and taught that they were prophets. As to the question, “when was Warren designated as one, and by whom:”

Warren Jeffs wasn’t publicly ordained by Uncle Rulon nor was he ordained privately with this knowledge being taught to the FLDS people at a later time in Uncle Rulon’s days of being a prophet. (Later, Warren claims, “Father came back,” from the dead and tied up some loose ends such as ordaining him to be prophet and telling him to kick out of the church, Truman Barlow and a whole host of other potential “prophets” as well. Uncle Rulon was very specific in teaching that he was the last prophet. To have questioned the statement could have gotten one excommunicated. I know. I asked Uncle Rulon if he was going to ordain anyone else to the High Priest Apostleship and he made it very clear to me that he didn’t need too; that he was going to be renewed and wasn’t going to die.

Truman Barlow and Warren Jeffs, both aspiring men, were trying to get ordained to the apostleship so they would be in line just in case Uncle Rulon did die. Truman had gone through Uncle Roy’s sickness (when he was saying he wasn’t going to die) but he too died. Truman made no bones about what he wanted. He just went and asked Uncle Rulon to ordain him. Uncle Rulon trounced him but good. Warren was more devious than Truman and other Barlow men about his aspirations and waited until Uncle Rulon’s mind was almost totally gone, then he tried to get Uncle Rulon to publicly name him as his successor which he ALMOST did one time and, as far as I know, is the closest Warren got to being named. It happened like this:

Warren drilled Uncle Rulon extensively on what to say before a public meeting. At the end of meeting, when Warren would customarily “turn the remaining time over to Father,” as he always used to say two minutes before it was time for meeting to let out. Warren did this because Uncle Rulon tended to ramble a lot during those last days. We usually expected uncle Rulon to be able to remember enough to say at least “God bless you and carry on,” or something along those lines. Sometimes, though, he would ramble on for fifteen or twenty minutes, repeating over and over things to us that Warren, earlier, had coached him to say. Afterwards, Warren would frequently be put in the very embarrassing position of trying to explain the ramblings away. Sometimes Uncle Rulon would ask a question and Warren would try and answer Uncle Rulon’s same questions in a different way each time, so that it appeared to us like an intelligent conversation was being carried on. This was all very embarrassing to those sitting in the audience as well because we had to pretend that he was being renewed or face censorship.


At this particular meeting, Uncle Rulon forgot Warren’s coaching. He could remember that he was supposed to name someone to have been chosen of God to take to his place, but when he tried to say it, he couldn’t remember what Warren had told him to say, so he said, “God has chosen or fingered Rulon T. Jeffs”, and pointed to himself. That was his own name, not Warren’s. Surprisingly, Warren continued on with the meeting, as he had already planned. He acted as if he had been named anyway, which he hadn’t, and he said, “I accept Father’s calling.”

To this day, devout Warrenites point to that meeting as Warren’s “ordination”. They claim, by the burning feeling within their bosoms that they knew what Uncle Rulon meant to say. He just couldn’t get it out. I personally think God wouldn’t let Uncle Rulon name Warren in spite of all the coaching Warren had previously given him.

After Uncle Rulon died/was renewed, Warren had two of his mothers/wives (Mary Fischer Jeffs/Jeffs for one) try to convince us that Uncle Rulon taught us publicly that he wasn’t going to die, but that he would be renewed and begin having children with his wives again. At the same time Uncle Rulon was teaching that to us, he supposedly taught these two wives privately that he would die and Warren would be the new prophet. Warren told us many times in meetings, “I am Father’s memory.” This is all mighty convenient for Warren, isn’t it?

What is bizarre about all this is that by that time in Uncle Rulon’s life, he couldn’t even remember the names of his wives. I was told that several women who were visiting in his home, noticed that Uncle Rulon thought that he was married to them in the morning, but then couldn’t even remember that they were married at all in the evening and he would offer them another husband. Luckily, these women visitors were not yet ready to trade in their old husbands for new ones.

Those two wives of Uncle Rulon who proclaimed Warren was to be the next prophet, certainly never told anyone of us about these grand new prophecies until after Uncle Rulon was dead and after they were married to their son, Warren. Later, Warren pressured his full blood little brother (Isaac Jeffs) to read a statement/testimony backing up the women’s claims. I guess that Warren figured that with those three close family members as witnesses, he could go ahead and take over the FLDS church and all of us gullible people would just swallow it. That’s exactly what happened.

Thank you Nameless,
Did all of this start with the "dream" by Rulon. The dream that Rulon was going to live 365 years.

The dream Rulon supposely told Warren and Warren repeated it to everyone and anyone who he could repeat it to. Even to the point Rulon believed it himself.

A dream concocted by Warren.

Nameless, you definately remember it the way it was.

We went to Sunday Dinner that day and discussed it among ourselves and our patriarch let us know that Uncle Rulon meant Warren Jeffs was next and that was where his allegiance was. From then on, it was hard to show up to Sunday Dinner, we didn't feel good about putting words into the prophets' mouth.

Uncle Rulon would yell over the pulpit "Do you know what I mean?" and everyone would think and say, "He is getting stronger, he is getting renewed." And I would say "What is wrong with him?"

I wish I had a copy of the church meetings for the last 5 years. Just so that we could remember what happened.

This is the kind of history I love to see on this blog.

Does anyone have personal recordings of the last 4 years of meetings? I don't mean the whitewashed copies, I mean the actual recordings as they really were.

Remember when Warren would panic after Uncle Rulon accidently said something in meeting Warren wanted hidden up,Warren would say,"any one that recorded this meeting will bring the recording to me after this meeting is adjourned".It wasn't long before personal recordings were banned altogether except for Lee Bistline Jr's official recordings.

Even Orville Johnson(who had been in charge of recording meetings for years)was banned from recording meetings.I guess Warren didn't trust him any longer.

Warren really proved his trust in Orville when he kicked him out last year and took his family and home.
