Latter-day Saints and the United Nations
There has been much controversy and debate over the existence of the United Nations. Many see the United States involvement in the UN as unconstitutional, anti-freedom, and anti-sovereignty.
According to Wikipedia: The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization tasked with maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation, and being a center for harmonizing the actions of nations. It was established (in 1945) after World War II, with the aim of preventing future wars. Its headquarters, which are subject to extraterritoriality, are in Manhattan, New York City. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development, and upholding international law. The UN is the largest, most familiar, most internationally represented and most powerful intergovernmental organization in the world. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193 (Source: Wikipedia).
Most are not aware of the Marxist origins of the UN. Communists, such as Alger Hiss, were involved in the establishment of the UN. The communists even promoted it in their publications:
“Great popular support and enthusiasm for the United Nations’ policies should be built up, well organized and fully articulate. But it is necessary to do more than that. The opposition must be rendered so impotent that it will be unable to gather any significant support in the Senate against the United Nations Charter and the treaties which will follow.” (Source: Political Affairs (April 1945), the official publication of the American Communist Party (CPUSA))
In a 1971 speech on the Senate floor, Senator Barry Goldwater (Arizona), stated:
“The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.”
As Latter-day Saints, we can turn to the scriptures to further enlighten us on the topic of government, laws, and the Constitution. “We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man..” and should “..secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life.” (D&C 134: 1-2) We also believe that the Lord “established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men .. raised up unto this very purpose..” (D&C 101: 77-80)
Furthermore, let us consider what the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have said specifically regarding the United Nations.
Statements from LDS Church Leaders on the United Nations
David O. McKay
“Unless the spirit of Christianity permeate the deliberations of the United Nations, dire tragedies await humanity.” (Source: David O. McKay. General Conference, October 1947)
Harold B. Lee
“Except the spirit of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and principles contained within the Constitution of the United States are inherent in world plans now being formulated, they are but building on sand and the Lord is not in that building.” [Comment: This was said in 1945 when the United Nations was being established.] (Source: Youth and the Church by Harold B. Lee, Deseret Book Company, 1970, p. 220)
J. Reuben Clark
“In furtherance of the general plan in contemplation of a world-state, we have made treaties of alliance containing obligations that infringed upon our sovereignty. We have made multipartite treaties – the League of Nations (which, when it was understood, the people rejected), the United Nations Charter, to which the Senate gave its advice and consent just one month and two days after its signature, the people having no time to examine its merits before it became operative. All of these surrendered some of our sovereignty. Not infrequently they involve commitments for the Chief Executive which he cannot fulfill, as also for the nation which the Chief Executive cannot guarantee shall be carried out.
“These circumstances have brought into high places an expressed feeling that our treaty powers are uncontrolled, even unlimited; that we may by treaty do what our Chief Executive may wish, with the Senate’s prescribed approval.” (Source: An Address Delivered by J. Reuben Clark, Jr. to the 67th Annual Congress of The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, July 1957)
Ezra Taft Benson
We are in the midst of continuing international crises. The outlook for world peace and security is dark indeed. The gravity of the world situation, it appears, is increasing almost daily. The United Nations seems unable to settle the troubles of the world. In truth we are faced with the hard fact that the United Nations, it seems, has largely failed in its purpose. Yes, the days ahead are sobering and challenging ones. We might well ask, America–what of the future? (Source: Ezra Taft Benson: April 1952. General Conference Talk. America – What of the Future?)
“We should pay no attention to the recommendations of men who call the Constitution an eighteenth-century agrarian document — who apologize for capitalism and free enterprise. We should refuse to follow their siren song of concentrating, increasingly, the powers of government in the Chief Executive, of delegating American sovereign authority to non-American institutions in the United Nations, and pretending that it will bring peace to the world by turning our armed forces over to a U.N. world-wide police force.” (Source: Ezra Taft Benson, Title of Liberty 176; from an address given at Los Angeles, CA, 11 Dec 1961 ))
“Never forget that history is filled with examples of men who mean to be good rulers but who nevertheless mean to rule.
“With reference to the United Nations and spurious appendages, I would like to quote the Internal Security Annual Report for 1956, p. 213, as made by the Senate Internal Security Sub-Committee, as follows: ‘What appears, on the surface at least, to be by far the worst danger spot, from the standpoint of disloyalty and subversive activity among Americans employed by international organizations, is UNESCO – the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Among less than ninety Americans employed by UNESCO the International Organizations Employees Loyalty Board found fourteen cases of doubtful loyalty.’ Then, in the footnote, we see this: “Information in the possession of the sub-committee, indicating a great deal of evidence not yet publicly adduced, points to the possibility that the parent body, the U.N., may be the worst ‘spot’ of all.” There is no indication that there has been the slightest improvement in the United Nations or its satellites since that time.
“Commenting on the United Nations Charter and the “travesty on exhaustive consideration” as the charter was hastily approved by the Congress, under urging from the State Department, [J. Reuben Clark, Jr.] continues with a devastating analysis and a sober warning to the American people that there will be a day of reckoning. I believe that day is near at hand. The hopes and the aspirations of the people have been betrayed… I urge all to read the solid volume, Stand Fast by the Constitution, which embodies much of J. Reuben Clark’s timely instruction.
Meantime let us have no further blind devotion to the communist-dominated United Nations.” (Source: Ezra Taft Benson December 10 1963. A Race Against Time))
“Should we disarm? And does it really make any difference whether we disarm unilaterally or collaterally? Either course of action would surrender our military independence. Should we pool our economic resources or our monetary system with those of other nations to create some kind of regional common market? It would constitute the surrender of our economic independence. Should we enter into treaties such as the U.N. Covenants which would obligate our citizens to conform their social behavior, their educational practices to rules and regulations set down by international agencies? Such treaty obligations amount to the voluntary and piece-meal surrender of our political independence. The answer to all such questions is a resounding “no,” for the simple reason that the only way America can survive in this basically hostile and topsy-turvy world is to remain militarily, economically and politically strong and independent.
“We must put off our rose-colored glasses, quit repeating those soothing but entirely false statements about world unity and brotherhood, and look to the world as it is, not as we would like it to become. Such an objective, and perhaps painful, survey leads to but one conclusion. We would be committing national suicide to surrender any of our independence, and chain ourselves to other nations in such a sick and turbulent world. President George Washington, in his immortal Farewell Address, explained our true policy in this regard:
‘The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible…’Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world…Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments on a respectably defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.’” (Source: Ezra Taft Benson. Address delivered on June 21, 1968, at the Farm Bureau Banquet in Preston, Idaho)
“Among the nations of the world today, there are precious few common bonds that could help overcome the clash of cross-purposes that inevitably must arise between groups with such divergent ethnic, linguistic, legal, religious, cultural, and political environments. To add fuel to the fire, the concept woven into all of the present-day proposals for world government (The U.N. foremost among these) is one of unlimited governmental power to impose by force a monolithic set of values and conduct on all groups and individuals whether they like it or not. Far from ensuring peace, such conditions can only enhance the chances of war.
“In this connection it is interesting to point out that the late J. Reuben Clark, who was recently described as ‘probably the greatest authority on [the Constitution] during the past fifty years’ (American Opinion, April 1966, p. 113), in 1945 – the year the United Nations charter was adopted – made this prediction in his devastating and prophetic ‘cursory analysis’ of the United Nations Charter:
‘There seems no reason to doubt that such real approval as the Charter has among the people is based upon the belief that if the Charter is put into effect, wars will end… The Charter will not certainly end war. Some will ask – why not? In the first place, there is no provision in the Charter itself that contemplates ending war. It is true the Charter provides for force to bring peace, but such use of force is itself war… It is true the Charter is built to prepare for war, not to promote peace… The Charter is a war document, not a peace document.
‘Not only does the Charter Organization not prevent future wars, but it makes it practically certain that we will have future wars, and as to such wars it takes from us the power to declare them, to choose the side on which we shall fight, to determine what forces and military equipment we shall use in the war, and to control and command our sons who do the fighting.” (Source: Ezra Taft Benson. Address delivered on June 21, 1968, at the Farm Bureau Banquet in Preston, Idaho)
In conclusion, let us again consider the statement of Ezra Taft Benson; “let us have no further blind devotion to the communist-dominated United Nations.”
Excellent reading and to know our prophet wrote this and spoke these statements in the 1960’s actually 1968 in Preston Idaho!
The above is totally right. The U N is an organization that is equal to the Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler or the Communist Party under Josef Stalin. They are strictly NWO and Muslim supporters and not an organization that teaches peace and world order. They are no better than the Jihad Muslims, Hitler and Stalin. The above statements of former church leaders are not as strong as what I am saying but remember they made those statements decades ago. They were right then and they are right now.
It’s amazing how easily and thoroughly these principles have been wiped from the minds and memories of the LDS membership and replaced with support for every communist tactic being employed in America. Comrade Nelson wasn’t kidding when he said to buckle up!
Don’t be side-tracked by global warming. Rather give urgent heed ETB’s Global warning….
As time goes on, I believe it will be revealed that much more is going on than meets the eye. Remember, we are living in the end times. There are several secret combinations and enemies both foreign and domestic that are actively working to destroy America’s economy and sovereignty.
This article is eye opening especially in light of the current partnership of the church with the UN. It is alarming to think we have drifted away from the warnings of past leaders and now have seemed to have embraced the UN wholeheartedly.
That was kinda hard to find in the official church channels this quotes…Thank you! I may be wrong, but appears to me that we are losing our “fundamentalism”… in Brazil, at least, church books are not for sale anymore. Only the standard works… Gospel teaching turned into a “spirit will tell” improvisation and… temple ordinances are, some say, politically correct. If “survival of the fittest” is how we do prophecy, we’ll keep going… I’m just not so sure if the God I believe is the same…
I believe whole-heartedly in the words of David O. McKay, J. Rueben Clark Jr. and Ezra Taft Benson. We see the fruits of the United Nations conspiracy in our country, as well as many others. That only spells doom for the United States, unless we quit supporting the organization and “Get Us Out”!, out of our expense account and out of the USA.
I’m curious as to the comment of Jenimarie Coon, concerning “the current partnership of the church with the U.N.”. What is that she’s referring to? Yes, we’ve strayed from the warnings of previous leaders and we are suffering for it.
Scott, the Church provided funding for Envision Utah, which is part of how Utah has been implementing Agenda 21; is supportive of the United Nations; and Church representatives have also spoken in support of Agenda 2030. To be clear, these programs are not good for Utah or the world. These are all part of the globalist agenda to implement regional governments, a new world order, destroy property rights, limit your God-given rights, and implement the communist plan.
Oct 2020 General Conference, Saturday Session
D. Todd Christofferson spoke positively about UN Agenda 2030 using it as the foundation of his entire talk.
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/general-conference/2020/10/media/6197209080001?lang=eng
I have never witnessed a conference like this before. It would appear that the leadership is in lock step with liberal/leftist thoughts regarding racism, China Virus, and medical viewpoints regarding lock downs and loss of freedoms.
I dont trust President Nelson.
I think he is a liberal and is altering the direction of the church in a negative destructive way.
I dont trust D Todd Christopherson.
I am worried that the church is being taken over by leftist/liberal leaning men and women.
What do you make of the recent conference talks? I hear messages that send me mixed signals. It would appear we may be drifting into the new world religion of “Wokeness” and that scares me. How could our church go this direction? Please share your thoughts on this.
Why would we think we are any different or better then the Israelites of Old and New Testaments. BoM/D.C. is a book of scripture for our day speaking to us as individuals and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; not to everyone else. These scriptures specifically point to the future downfall of the “Church” or the “Gentiles”. we have forsaken the new and ever lasting covenant in the BoM of coming to Christ with a broken heart and contrite spirit as Christ alone has the power to save.
The problem and difficulty we have as members is being inside when the walls are crashing around us – it is so hard to see from the inside. This past conference was laced with the World Government agenda and world order propaganda to the extreme. President Nelson is correct when he sated the evil around us “is not even hiding its face” this also implies to us inside the Church; then asking us to embrace the future and “live the new normal” – not a cry to repent and turn to God; this is anti Christ as it gets. And, this is pure evil and highlights the wolves in sheep clothing to a whole new level I thought I would never see.
Its happening among us as those who profess to be God’s children in the end times. I was alarmed after this past Conference to say the least. I pray we awake to our awful and fallen state.
What Peter says about Paul, tells you more about Peter than it does Paul.
I listened to the October conference, but never had any question come to my mind about a drifting of Church leadership into the arms of the United Nations, embracing the concepts of a world order that will strip men and women of their Constitutionally guaranteed rights. I listened to Elder Christopherson’s talk again to be sure I knew what he said. Note his talk’s title, “Sustainable Societies,” not “look at the UN.”
Elder Christopherson’s reference to UN Agenda 2030 was to me a backdrop for his talk. He then proceeded to describe the only way the goals of Agenda 2030 could be accomplished successfully, if its goals are of any worth at all. Elder Christopherson’s talk/message, to me, is a blueprint and a warning to all (especially the UN staff working on 2030) that the only way to bring about any semblance of success is through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I do not know anything about the Church’s involvement with the UN, and any of its initiatives. But what I do know is that the Church would never sanction anything that was not worthwhile. If they are involved, I can only think they are stepping up to offer their influence for righteousness. That is the kind of encouragement we are given as citizens, to participate and offer out influence for the good of the Kingdom and the people around us.
And, to refer to President Nelson as “comrade Nelson” is a sure sign disrespect for him and his calling. I have not heard anything said by Church leaders that says they are teaching anything different than earlier leaders.
Again, “What Peter says about Paul, tells you more about Peter than it does about Paul.”
@Al Brown –
The issue for me is what church leaders AREN’T saying. I am not hearing from any of the church leaders about taking any kind of stand against the tyranny being perpetrated upon us. They are passively going along with all of the restrictions that are undermining our rights to gather and to worship. We aren’t permitted to even sing!! Where is the line? If the Covid vaccine becomes mandatory is the church going to require adherence in order to attend services, to receive sacrament?? I have asked for confirmation from the local bishop regarding this concern and have yet to receive a return call – SILENCE is speaking volumes. The elect WILL be deceived – it is written. I handed out pocket constitutions to the young missionaries in my ward when they last visited me. They are dangerously clueless about what is transpiring and I can only hope they still have ears to hear if they do not have eyes to see.
The church has no policy on the United Nations. If they were anti un I a, sure members would know. Wouldn’t the Lord tell our living prophet to oppose the United Nations if it was his will?
The church has cooperated with them on many humanitarian issues. Coexisted with them for over three quarters of a century. And many faithful members are employed by the United Nations.
The church is ran by God. He will not call someone he knows will lead the church astray and since the Lord has called his leaders he definitely can speak to them.
If he has to step down do to transgression his last act will be calling his successor. Of course that won’t happen. We don’t need to steady the ark. We don’t need to worry about leaders leading us astray since Joseph Smith said it is contrary to the order of Heaven for someone to receive revelation for someone higher than themselves. Therefore the spirit won’t tell you the leaders God calls are leading us astray.
This came to my attention not via means of a fellow member but my inactive adult son who is a Federal Agent. With the phrase What The Bleep? Me being careful to not be an “enemy of the faith” pulled out many of references of prophets in the past. Enoch to Benson. Why has a entity who is losing the next generation by the 1000’s each year, and gaining new membership in 3rd world countries like it was the 70’s in S.A. Not seeing that standing for the straight and narrow is going to lead many astray. Those of us who have built a testimony not based off business policy or social acceptance will need to continue with steadfast support to the end as we rebuild our stakes and move away from social media acceptance.
The UN, Council on Foreign Affairs,UNESCO, are a Front for the Communist agenda.The Communists worship Satan in thought and deed. 60 years ago we were warned that because the US was too powerful to take on in an open attack, that the iron curtain came down so as to drop our guard against Lucifer’s plans for total domination. Leading Communists told Ezra Taft Benson that they would rot the US from the inside out. That this is how they would defeat the Constitutional Nation. Has it happened? Can we see it every where around us? The answer is a resounding yes. If you don’t see this clearly than your eyes are not open (sorry). In 1959 in Conference, David O MacKay asked every member to read “The Naked Communist” . A book, he(The Prophet) commissioned to be written by W. Cleon Skowsen. The book is simple and basic, it uncovers the real intent of communism. Please read it. Then read a book written by Ezra Taft Benson, entitled “The Red Carpet” ( Socialism the Royal Road to Communism). Then take “The miracle of America” course. Then read “Non dare call it Conspiracy” Then read “Hiding in plain sight”. Then read the “Communist Manifesto”. Then reread the Book of Mormon. This will prove YOUR “real intent”. If you do this you will have done enough due diligence to see clearly what is Afoot. At that point the choice is clear. Good luck.
The UN, Council on Foreign Relations, UNESCO, are fronts to push the Communist agenda. The Communists worship Satan in thought and deed. Their plans are covered but not hidden. 60 years ago we were warned that because the US was too powerful to take on in an open attack, that they would have to rot the US from he inside out. And so the Iron Curtain fell as a move to lower the guard so to speak of the US. This is how they would infiltrate and weaken the Constitutional Nation, and come in among us, as wolves in sheep’s clothing. Has this happened? Can you see it all around us? The answer is a resounding yes. If you are not sure, if you have the slightest question in your mind about what I have said, You are not awake. David O MacKay in 1959 General Conference asked the entire membership to read a book that he commissioned to be written on subversion. The book is called” The Naked Communist” written by W.Cleon Skowsen. It is a simple book, basic and plain to read. It uncovers the Communist agenda. Have you read it? Please read it. Then read a book written by Ezra Taft Benson entitled “The Red Carpet”, (Socialism the Royal Road to Communism) Then take the “Miracle of America” course. Next read “Non dare call it Conspiracy” then on to “Hidden in plain sight”. After that read The Communist Manifesto. And finally reread the Book of Mormon. Now you are armed and can see both sides clearly.i recommend a study of the “Constitution” of the United States. You will have now proven your due diligence and Real Intent. With out a true study like this you are subject to the winds that blow, they will blow back and forth taking you with them. I say to the sincere,Good luck, we will talk soon.
Church leaders have been warning us against this Satanic conspiracy against our freedom for generations! Most specifically, Ezra Taft Benson has warned us! I joined because I thought we would be free from the Great and Spacious Building in which Lehi warned against! It is very scary to see 20 million dollar donations coming from the church to Unicef and specifically for Covid 19 vaccinations which are experimental at best, and a biological weapon and Satanic sacrifice of the nations at worst! Woe be unto all ye that call evil good and good evil! The Lord will take care of these enemies!( Ether 8: 24, 25 and Isaiah 5: 20) The Lord God is against Marxism and Socialism except under his administration in the United Order or Firm! (Total Consecration or All Things Common) We are not supposed to be involved in politics so why would the church be involved in Globalist Politics such as getting mixed up with Unicef and the United Nations? Real Marxism and Socialism takes God out of the equation; total consecration and all things common put Jesus Christ at the center! In Jesus Christ name! Amen!
People seem to be hyperfocusing on the T.D.C. talk mentioning UN aspirations, and only their mention. Does the e tire talk not correct the naive nature of these UN proposals and espouse the only way to such societies being through adherence to God’s commandment and Christian values? It’s clear that the UN is a front for enabling moral degredation and lack of diversity and nationalistic freedom in general. T.D.C. offers a soft rebuke to the UN and corrective steps toward true sustainably in societies, which the UN on its own cannot provide. Don’t let buzzwords enrage you beyond critical thinking. Moving on, the Church has a problem with praising and sucking up to government and overlooking their trespasses in the name of gaining favor. We need to stop being pretentious as a church and just stick to our values, without bending the knee to government policy which is furthing the cause of Satan.
To those who referenced D. Todd Christopherson’s conference talk on sustainability in 2020, you seem to misunderstand his intent and his purpose. Creating a Sustainable Society is the stated objective of the United Nations, but as brother Christopherson gently points out, they are doing it without substance, and it will not work. He’s telling the Church members that listened to the United Nations, but didn’t understand the differences, the true way to establish a society that won’t fail. He’s also telling members of the UN who seek to build a sustainable society, the only way it can succeed. It’s on the rock of our Reedeemer, Jesus Christ. It can’t be done any other way. Hopefully some will listen and have a change of heart.
Rebekah Griffin has two very well researched videos on Rumble that show connections between the church and the UN. I have followed along looking up the links and she is not wrong.
Many in church leadership are Alain on NGO, UN boards.
All one has to do is search, United Nations, Agenda 2030, ESG, etc, on the church’s website.
The church owned entities are leading us astray too.
I’m studying what it means to “sustain” knowing that these guys are embracing evil organizations. I’m hurt and confused. I’m striving to hold to the rod anyway. I’m striving to question with an open heart not a clinched fist.
As I said in other post I’ve made, scriptures tell us the very elite will be deceived, will fall which takes me back to what I stated in previous post, we must read , study our scriptures, pray constantly for wisdom and discernment. Our Heavenly Father through our scriptures, through past prophets have made so clear that we individually can receive personal revelation. As I read most of these comments that aline with my thinking and beliefs is people in the church are being guided through personal revelation. The prophet of our day, today should be speaking loudly boldly to his members across this planet as to building their testimonies, their spiritual strength, taking heed to Joseph Smiths warnings and past prophets warnings of our Constitution hanging by a thread, our God given freedoms liberties being attacked, that these days are so heavily upon us. Yet we hear NOTHING! We know without doubt if Prohet Joseph Smith, kimball, McKay, Clark, Benson etc prophets passed could speak to us today what they would be saying to us. I found it to be very disturbing as the members were told not to take heed of past prophets that we are in different times today! No Heavenly Fathers plan remains the same yesterday, yoday , forever. Should we too exclude Joseph Smith that restored the gospel for this dispensation? My answer is a BIG NO, WE SHOULD NOT! Nor should we of past Prohets. In fact they saw these days ahead, which is why they warned us and what is required of us in this times. So I say, stay true to the gospel as it was brought for this dispensation. Be led through personal revelation through sincere heartfelt prayer, our Heavenly Father will stand with those who stand with him, he will stand with those of us who have the desire,courage to stand up boldly united in defense of our God given freedoms, liberties and our Declarations.. I can’t remember if it was president Benson or Reuben Clark but one if them warned us to pray about and for our leaders in the church because they can be deceived, they can fall prey to Satan’s power which is why they remind us of personal revelation. Prophets or not, they are human beings just as we are, they can be swayed with$$$$$$$ and power just as others can be. If you haven’t just search out Dr yuval Harari, listen to him. Remember promises made are made with convincing people that are already in power whether it be in churches or Gov’t, they will have great powers, be very wealthy which are lies from Satan because if and when this NWO should be in full power they will need none if these people they have bought from churches or Gov’t. In fact my guess is they will fight between themselves as to who the ONLY RULER WILL BE! Those of us in and out of the church that truly love our Heavenly Father and our Savior, that stand in resistance will likely see such persecution we have never seen before but the eternal reward will be well worth it. Just stay true to the gospel as it was brought forth, live the gospel to the best of your ability, none of us are perfect, and pray as to receive personal revelation. I do believe right now with President Nelson, personal revelation is more important than its ever been.
As far as Unitd Nations goes, the church in my humble opinion should have no part of it. They need to STOP giving billions of dollars to this communist organization. The United States need to pull out of this UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORG along with the WHO and the WEF. This is an abomination for the church to be having ties with any of these UNCONSTITUTIONAL COMMUNIST ORG that really are null and void as they do not have a rightful authority.
ThenChurch News had an article about the un General Assembly General President meeting with thenFirst Presidency and praised their working together on humanitarian issues around the globe. Any organization working to eradicate poverty, sanitize water, vaccinate people against deadly diseases do a lot of good for children of the world everywhere.
Everyone please research the donations the church has given to genocidal organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Society GAVI… they donated to help in the deaths of many via vaccinations and more… Gavi got over 20 million dollars. Research what companies the LDS church invests in. Research how the church used fake names/ employee names to create off shore accounts where they embezzle money…. Ensign Peak whistle blowers have come forward and the Church was taken to court and fined 5 million dollars for their crimes. Furthermore the Church is sitting on so much money from Tithe offerings that they could end world hunger but do not do anything with it. For years I was a single mom advocate in Utah. The church helps single moms only for a short time yet wants them to pay tithing. I am so incredibly angry the years of struggle as a single mom of 3 that I suffered to pay my tithing when the church was sitting on billions of dollars of surplus stashed away in phony off shore accounts. The LDS church is most definitely OF the World an not IN the world.
Hi everyone, I was just reading immensely. I’m almost 69 yrs old. Raised in the church . To see our present Proohet and apostles engaging with communist UN. mandating mask, vaccines, still going along with these evil ta ti s is heartbreaking I’m looking to connect with members of likeminded members of the church so anyone that sees my comment here, please respond so that we may connect, talk about this seriously issues that threaten our God given freedoms and liberties . That we could share email, through that phone no’s.. those of us who know the UN is evil comunist. It’s important that we band together hope many of you will respond.
I have a real problem with my stake presidency and then later the first presidency and apostles taking to the pulpit to parrot liars and murderers like Tony Fauci, the CDC, etc…. their speaking of “safe and effective vaccines,” and urging members to take the experimental bioweapons was a real slap in the face to me. My wife’s aunt died within days of taking the shot. My neighbor died from it and the myocarditis that ravaged his heart.
The church website still has the following (which reads like a Tony Fauci propaganda piece, and ALL of it has been proven UNtrue):
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
We find ourselves fighting a war against the ravages of COVID-19 and its variants, an unrelenting pandemic. We want to do all we can to limit the spread of these viruses. We know that protection from the diseases they cause can only be achieved by immunizing a very high percentage of the population.
To limit exposure to these viruses, we urge the use of face masks in public meetings whenever social distancing is not possible. To provide personal protection from such severe infections, we urge individuals to be vaccinated. Available vaccines have proven to be both safe and effective.
We can win this war if everyone will follow the wise and thoughtful recommendations of medical experts and government leaders. Please know of our sincere love and great concern for all of God’s children.
The First Presidency
