UEP $100.00 monthly fee

I read recently there will soon be letters sent out to the people living on UEP land respectfully requesting they pay a fee of $100.00 a month. This is not too much different than the fee's or "donations" that were paid a few years ago when I was still out there, but it is, although not as much as most of us pay monthly for rent and house payments, still a little steep for those poor people. My last "donation" was $20.00 a month for a little trailer, and in all honesty it was all I could afford at the time.
Supposedly if this fee is not paid for three consecutive months, another family will be assigned to live in the residence.
I wonder if the families are still receiving a monthly "donation" bill which they pay the FLDS church on top of the UEP fee? I wonder if Mr. Wisan tells them to move if they will do it or stubbornly remain in defiance until they are bodily evicted by the authorities. I wonder if he will even be able to FIND authorities who will do it.

And, I am worried about my family and my extended family.

wtf admin? Let my posts go through.

I think Wisan is serving notice on the city councils. He's trying to do something good but the city councils are putting the brakes on it. They only affect themselves...they are part of the UEP too. Maybe when they figure out that warren or ?? doesn't want them in Texas, South Dakota, Oregon, Colorado, or wherever their compounds are, they'll compare living costs in other towns and start to see the benefits of owning their property and paying their own taxes in Hildale/CC.

This monthly assessment is all due to the City Council members for Hildale and Colorado City. They are the ones causing this fee. They are demanding that the infrastructure be improved. If the residents don't want to be assessed this monthly fee, then they need to convince the City Council members to accept the surveys and the divisions of lots without requiring the improvements.

It really is all in the hands of the local people.

I just spoke with a relative in CC that received this notice. Along with the 'respectful request' there was a threat that any late/unpaid fee would be penalized at $10 initially and $1.50 per day until paid. I wonder too about my family still there. It seems that the fee should be adjusted for the property. I know that there are families living in mansions and there are families living in mobile homes. If the average is $100 per home why not adjust it to match the home and property? I have a sister that is not on food stamps or gov. subsidies. The family does not drive brand new vehicles. This fee may be the breaking point that drives them to food stamps. I know it sounds ludicrous and I know Wisan cannot make everyone happy. I too am interested to see what happens here.

Anonymous said...

I think it is unfair, because they are already paying property taxes and most people continue making improvments on the property. Why would they charge 100.00 this monthly fee anyway??? So Wisan can use it to get things for himself?? He is a crook. I dont live there but seeing how he handles things seems wrong.

It is a fact of life that infrastructure is required for cities and subdividsions. When there was one owner it wasn't needed to have curb, gutter; sidewalk and asphalt and updated fire supression and water lines. When you want to subdivide and ve sell deeds to many owners you have to follow the standards. CC/Hildale are only asking for the fire supression and water line updates. That is generous. The improvements are the developer's responsiblility-The UEP is responsible as the property owner/developer. Usually the infrastructure is done before any homes can be built. Since the UEP allowed building beforehand, it makes it more difficult. $100.00/ month is easier to swallow than getting a bill for improvements of $60,000.00 before you can have your deed.

What I wonder is...when the property is all deeded out, where is the money going to come from to pay tuition etc. on the law suits that have been settled?

Anonymous said...

1:22 Hildale and CC should treat the UEP like they did before Wisan took over. The cities weren't demanding improvements 2 years ago, and houses were going up all over the place.

Or the cities could start charging $10,000 to get a building permit and hook up to water...the town I live in charges around $10-15K, depending on the size of house.

I don't know if any of you read the notice that came before the bill, but it said that the money would be used for legal fees. Both Bruce Wisan and Jethro Barlow are legal accountants; are these the 'legal fees' that will be paid with it?
And Wisan is suing Hildale City because they will not hurry fast enough for him, to get the red tape details of the planning and zoning done, because he wants to sell some lots of land. And even if this $100 is used for developing the undeveloped property, it will not in any way benefit the existing dwellers of the land, but is for the benifit of future landholders. Is this fair?
One more thing, Wisan has admitted to the fact that the Colorado City Town has been working with him. But he wants the job done faster. When they were only dealing with the original UEP owner they did not have to worry about being sued. Now the City must make sure things are proper to prevent future liabilities of who knows who may come in and purchase the land.

The thing you folks in Hildale and Colorado City have is FREEDOM and that has a cost thanks to Warren Jeffs and his tactics.

Get involved with the process, help Wisan and quit griping.

Go to the City Council and quit letting them run over you.

Correct. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Ps.46:10, Is.30:7, Mk.4:39).

It's idolatry to suggest that another has assumed His place without appointment, blinding yourself to the quotes of His Word and accusing another falsely, even as "Lucifer: The Accuser".

Now do you see the propriety: "Be still, and know that I am God".

Good old FLDS...The fires are coming...

onthestreet said...

1/29/2008 9:28 AM

Not only "as God", but GOD with us, a god which is a father to the people, as our Eternal Father is also God over them all, see. God appointed marriage. We all know that. So, if a leader is appointed and accepted to lead and to marry, and to bring forth children, is he not a father? We all know that too.

You see, all the above is just accusatory of everything and completely anti-FLDS, in spite of the facts:

1. FACT: That government-approved aid was government-approved, according to their strict requirements of any and all who receive aid.

2. FACT: That the high-ratio per capita in aid is merely from the fact that they have much larger families, which all believers will agree is pleasing to God ("Let the little children come, etc... for of such is the kingdom of heaven"). You not believing it doesn't hardly make FLDS criminal for believing and for practicing their belief.

3. FACT: The FLDS like none other are chased into the desert to live, because of their faith and belief, which obviously necessitates more assistance, not because of the FLDS and their faith, but because of the crimes against them and their faith, to abide in the law and word of God regarding the multiplying of children and wives. Again, you not believing it doesn't hardly make the FLDS criminal for believing and for practicing their belief. Quite the opposite.

4. FACT: In your third paragraph above you start out: "But, I do have to say that I surely do not believe..." See, that's it, you do not believe, not even the continuous media reports and ongoing charges of police abuse and intrique to set up and accuse a desired target, scandals that are well-known and practiced in this country. You don't believe they would hurt kids? They only KILL 1.5 million babies every year, because that is the law. Believe it, they're doing it.

5. FACT: Your above post merely demonstrates that you're an anti-FLDS activist or critic, jumping on the bandwagon of assault and intrigue and coverup.

6. FACT: The FLDS never has and never will bend you worldly masses in order to curry a favorable opinion of corruption. They do just the opposite, and that is what throws you all into the mire. "If I posted this, if I posted that, but without saying so and so, and then bend it to match your opinion, and then totally abdicated whatever truth and moral might be left"...you say, THEN I might be acceptable. GOD FORBID! For you are totally unacceptable, and that is what just pisses you off. Once people "take my opinion into account", then I would know that I have fallen to your level.



7. FACT: You say: “I believe that a lot of what the FLDS get is what they ask for by ripping people off, treating their own the way they do for questioning…”. See, you do not believe the Word of God and Christ Himself, who says it best: “Be ye come out as against a thief”, when they came to arrest him. They were even treating Him as a thief. What the FLDS Church takes with them is their own belongings, and you call that “ripping people off”. Okay, what about “treating their own the way they do”, as you put it? Christ did they same “for those He loveth He chastiseth, else ye are bastards” (Heb.12:8). His words, not mine, through His apostle. Also, Mt.10:34: “Think not that I am come to bring peace…I am come to set family against family…” His words, not mine, but you hate Him, your Redeemer, and His words, and fight against Him: Antichrist.

See, your problem is just that you don’t believe the Word of God, and do battle against it and against Christ, making you the antichrist. Just because you hate Him and His word, doesn’t mean that the FLDS has to follow suit and in lockstep to satisfy your fanny.

8. FACT: You say: “I suppose when the FLDS opens up more to the world… the FLDS could live a more peaceful life”. Again, you disbelieve and hate God and His Christ, for they say: “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God” (James 4:4). Also, “Come OUT of the world, and be not partakers of her sins” (Rev.18:4). See, the FLDS are just the opposite of you who violate the Word of God and sell your bodies and souls like prostitutes, to curry favor the favor of the world, as you try to drag others down with you. “Then I will proclaim: Depart from me, ye cursed. I never knew you” (Mt.7:23, 25:41).

That is the end of the matter, while with you it’s eternal agony which must follow you to the grave, and far far beyond.

OK, Wisan is dismissed and the state leaves the UEP to it's own devices.

What will happen to your family and your home and the UEP?

The thugs will rule again with an iron fist and you will still be unhappy.

onthestreet said...

No, not uphappy if you're ruled by an iron fist, or an iron rod, not if you love the Lord. That is the exact kind of rule that He prescribes. Do you love the Lord?

"And He shall rule them with a rod of iron" (Rev. 2:27).

See, that is good, a strict rule like Warren's, which follows the strict order of the Word of God in your own scriptures.

Or, you can bolt, and then you've still got iron (an iron bolt), and then you know not what you worship, nor the wages of sin that you must endure.

onthestreet said...

"Fist" in the Hebrew is "egroph": Grasping. If you can't grasp it, or the Lord can't graph you and claim you as His, then there is a loose fist, and ye are lost.

"He that spareth the rod hateth his son" (Prov.13:24)

"The rod and reproof giveth wisdom" (Prov.29:15).

One man with God is the majority. Conversely, a seven-headed leadership is just a seven-headed monster. The Christian doctrine is, and always will be, one God, both in heaven and on the earth.

those 7 trustees were no more than androids; remotely controlled by someone who was not even the so called "key man", and if evicting woman and children from there homes for no more reason than being married to someone that the puppet master didn't like; is holding things together, then theres not much left to be said. good riddance

There is the presidency, which is a council of three. It pertains to the church, the temple, and the Holy Trinity throughout the science and art of creation, the theory and practice in all things (I Kings 7:21, 2 Chr.3:17):

1. Jachin (positive forces)
2. Boaz (negative forces)
3. Equalibrium

The Counsel of Seven pertains to the Priesthood, and they too are swallowed up in the equalibrium of decision or decree (God's Will), the gathering of all into one, until they form one purpose, one direction, and move as one flock.

Anything less is just confusion and dissolution, without effect, the casting off of rebellion and disunion. This is the entire history of both heaven and earth.

The astronomers see this every day, the casting off of matter and reuniting it into new world systems.

The "faithful" FLDS elders are supposed to be making a $1,000 donation every month on top of the 10% tithing. IITMOC - 1/17/2008 5:00 PM


REPLY: Faithful is the operative word: The 10% is the tithe (tenth). The $1,000 is the offering: The "tithes and offerings" required of the Lord (2 Chr.31:12, Mal.3:8), until the FAITHFUL have given not 10%, not 30, nor 60, but ALL, 100%, the casting off of all matter, and reuniting it in the Lord who owns it all.

“But he that received seed into the good ground (into the father of the people, one man: “None good but the father”: Mt.19:16), is he that heareth the Word and understandeth it, which also beareth fruit and BRINGETH FORTH (to him): Some an hundred fold (a hundred-percent folded), some 60, and some 30” (Mt.13:23).

“Now hear me, and I will try to talk so that you can understand.

I will presume to go a little further than I did, with regard to the President of the Church, and say to this people, a man might have visions, the angels of God might administer to him, he might have revelations, and see as many visions as you could count; he might have the heavens opened to him, and see the finger of the Lord, and all this would not make him the President of the Church, or an Elder, a High Priest, an Apostle; neither would it prove that he was even a Saint: something else is wanted to prove it.

Why I mention this, is because of the frailty, weakness, and short-sightedness of the people.

If a man should come and tell you he had had a vision, and could appear to substantiate his testimony that he had had the heavens opened to him, you would be ready to bow down and worship him; and he might be, at the same time, perfectly calculated to destroy the people-one of the biggest devils on earth.

He would appear to be one of the finest of men, to be honest and unassuming, and come with all the grace and generalship of the devil, which is so well calculated to deceive the people.

Admit this to be the case.”

___________________________________


REPLY (Page 1):

Yet, the same fineness and ability can fully be attributed to Christ. He certainly had visions and angels administered to him. So no, you simply cannot admit your assertion to be the case. Brigham was not speaking of neither Warren, Joseph, nor himself, nor of Christ, for these men are “KNOWN BY THEIR FRUITS” (Matt.7:16).

Christ was and is most concerned with the body (the church), the mind (of God), the soul (of man), and the Spirit. All would agree with that. So He is most concerned with the fruits of the body, mind, soul, and spirit, which are:

Body-Children: Who has more the Warren's 100?

Mind-Discipline: Who has disciplined more than Warren?

Soul-Truth: Who has spoken the truth more directly than Warren, so much that it stings?

Spirit- The world knows that Warren is spiritual, being accused the world over for Spiritual Unions, even nine to the power of…and then Nein, no, or none, through the violence and the guilt of all of his accusers.

Page 4: FRUIT OF THE SOUL (Truth): The world knows that Warren is Truth. How? Because truth stings. When you consider that even the ruler of Jerusalem, Pilate, had to ask the condemned innocent man: “What is truth” (Jn.18:38). What happened? As soon as he asked for truth, all accusation left him. “For when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews and said unto them: I find in Him no fault at all” (John 18:38). Truth is troth, verity, law, frankness, precision. He oversees the precision of world-class machinists (Western Precision, or New Age Mfg).

The Hebrew is “Uwth”: Assent. Warren has assented to set free all who desired to be set free from God’s Work, and to discipline all who desired discipline for an ascent. “Owth” or oath, marriage and temple covenant: The Oath and Covenant, which Warren is well known for practicing. Also: Another Hebrew term for Truth is “Amown”: Populous, established. The world has seen full well his work to establish a population in the earth, after the Order of God. So he is the man who possesses the fruit of the soul (Truth or populous established), and “Ye shall know them by their fruits” (of body, mind, soul, and spirit): Mt. 7:16.

That is just another witness to the world by which God’s true church shall be known: “No greater a prophet…yet, he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater” (Mt.11:11). I think that the world would agree that Warren is considered least in the Kingdom, so he fits the bill with yet another witness.
