“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - John 8:32

 

I was raised a Mormon. Mom was Mormon, Dad was pretty much an atheist. My Aunt, Grandma and cousins were Mormons too, so when I branched off on my own path, I was judged by many. I was 15-years-old, listening to heavy metal music and I'd started smoking weed and cigarettes as well as experimenting with alcohol. I always have to laugh when I think back on my antics at church at that age. My Dad had one of those portable 8-track players and I'd take it to church with me. In between meetings I'd be walking through the halls of the church with Black Sabbath's Master of Reality album thumping down the hallway. That was the beginning of the end for me and church. Needless to say, many were disappointed in me. After I stopped going to church my Mom stood in front of the entire congregation talking about how I'd become a drug user, making a big deal out of my smoking weed, but she didn't even try to discuss it with me at home. Not once. Shortly thereafter I saw members of the congregation passing me in their cars looking through their windows at me like I was some kind of a problem child. Kicking people out of the church (“excommunication”) is how they handle things, that's how it works in most churches. They didn't kick me out, I beat them to it by leaving and never looking back. Individuality is highly frowned upon in religion. If you live your life any different than they do, you'll be made out to be the devil himself. I never went back to any organized church groups. Religion never felt right to me. I've always been my own person and I'll never have anyone telling me what to do and believe. The great thing is that decades later here I am with all of this evidence proving that “the church” wasn't worthy of having me there. They treated me like I wasn't worthy, it turns out to be the other way around. I never had any of this information when I was a kid but I always had questions for my Mom even before I was baptized at age eight such as:

 

“Why does the church say it's wrong for a white man to marry a black woman?”

 

And…

 

“Why can't blacks hold the priesthood?”

 

Her replies were never satisfactory. Puzzled and horrified looks followed by a quick “I don't know” just didn't suffice. I was trying to figure out why the church was making black people out to be inferior to white people and I felt offended. I knew that they were morally wrong. I also had questions about the church owning stock in Pepsi-Cola while at the same time saying that it was forbidden to drink caffeine. I never did receive any valid replies from Mom or any other member of “the church” and I don't suspect I'll that receive a reply from any Mormons regarding this chapter either. I think it's safe to say that Mormons will completely ignore this because that's what religious people do. Convenient, isn't it? Mormonism is factually proven to be a Lucifer worshiping organization at the top of the hierarchy. It’s time for standard everyday Mormons to face up to that fact. I was insecure and unsure of myself growing up and it was hard to take all of those judgments coming from friends and family. I'm no longer concerned with what people think of me like I did when I was young. The facts are on my side and that's all I need. Why should I feel bad for being right? Hmm?

 

The Truth About Mormonism

 

 

The Mormons were created by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young who were 33^rd degree Freemasons. Smith notated his Freemasonic membership in his book The History of the Church. He wrote that on March 15^th,1842:

 

“…I received the first degree in Free Masonry in the Nauvoo Lodge, assembled in my general business office.”

 

The next day he wrote:

 

“I was with the Masonic Lodge and rose to the sublime degree (Master Mason).”

 

Smith was heavily into occult magic and was known to engage in ritualistic sacrifice of white dogs, black cats and other animals. His family were money diggers (buried treasure hunters) and he used a seer stone to magically locate treasures by gazing into it. He claimed to have translated the golden plates by gazing into his seer stone while covering his face with his hat.[2] The Nauvoo Temple was funded with Joseph Smith threatening his flock with damnation unless they paid 10% of their income to the church. That temple and others display Freemasonic and occult symbols including the square, compass and beehive, clasped hands, inverted pentagrams, the All-Seeing Eye and others.[3] The Temple Endowment ceremonies include the same blood oaths as in Freemasonry and the same secret hand clasps. Mormon under garments include Freemasonic symbols on the breasts, namely the square and compass. Being an Illuminati organization at the top of the hierarchy, the Mormon church’s main source of funding was the House of Rothschild. They had Vatican-style military compounds with themselves as dictators, complete with their own military, police and paid henchmen. Critics of the church were murdered routinely. Young declared himself “King of Utah” and told the US government to stay out. There was a small war over that. “Blood Atonement” was a common practice.

 

“The Mormon religion was founded by Freemasons, uses Freemasonic, Illuminati, and ancient rituals and symbols, and is big into blood atonement and terrible vengeance for revealing the secrets. It has all the signs of being a front for Satanism and so it is.” – David Icke

 

One massacre ordered by Young included over 50 men, 20 women and 50 children under the age of eight.

 

“I say, rather than that apostates should flourish here, I will unsheath my bowie knife, and conquer or die...Now, you nasty apostates, clear out, or judgment will be put on the line, and righteousness to the plummet.” - Brigham Young

 

Most of the higher-ups in the early church were all polygamists, believers that the more wives one had the more blessed he is. It was an important church doctrine, a divine revelation from God and absolutely necessary for salvation. Joseph Smith had between 33 and 45 wives, Brigham Young had 55 wives and 56 children.

 

“The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy.” - Brigham Young

 

“I think no more of taking a wife than I do of buying a cow.” - Herber C. Kimball

 

After polygamy was made illegal secret weddings were common practice and for defying the law many higher-ups were sent to prison.

 

“Where did this commandment come from in relation to polygamy? It also came from God...when I see any of our people opposing a principle of this kind, I consider them apostates.” - John Taylor

 

They only ever stopped polygamy to save the church. The US government was threatening to tear down the temple in Salt Lake City. Fundamentalist Mormons still believe in polygamy because it is what Joseph Smith and the next four church leaders taught. They consider going against polygamy to be going against the founders. “Polygamy is God's Law” or so they say.

 

A thick book called Mormonism Unvailed by E.D. Howe is full of testimony from people who knew and had dealings with the Smith family. Roughly one hundred people gave testimony and the Smith family's reputation was that of liars, swindlers and con artists, which explains why Smith couldn't tell a consistent story on his professed “First Vision” and “Second Vision” stories and the stories surrounding the “Golden Plates,” which consisted of more than ten different versions and evolved over the years. The current stories as officially presented by the church are much different than the originals. Nobody except for Joseph Smith actually laid eyes on the golden plates. Obviously, he made up the story, because he made the excuse that if he ever showed the golden plates to anyone, they would be taken away from him by the Angel Moroni. And when he provided a sample of the writing that he claimed was engraved on the plates, it was a jumbled mess with four different languages and some of the letters were even sideways and upside down. He called it “Reformed Egyptian.” Professional analysts called it nonsense.[4] The Freemason Legend of Enoch, which was printed in the Freemason's Monitor in 1802, features the story of a man who is shown a hill in a vision, shown hidden gold plates with Egyptian engravings, etc. The story line parallels are many making it quite obvious as to the origin of Joseph Smith's story.[5] And speaking of plagiarism, there are 775 verses in the Book of Mormon that are either partially or completely copied word for word (verbatim) directly from the King James Bible.[6] If he got it all from golden plates then why so many stolen passages?

 

“I have interviewed numerous individuals who fearfully tell of witnessing and/or participating in dark rituals underneath the LDS Temple in Salt Lake City. At first, I thought these individuals were psychologically imbalanced for their stories were so very bizarre that they could not have possibly been true. Imagine, the hierarchy sacrificing human infants, and even consuming human flesh during candlelit secret ceremonials? Now, however, I am more inclined to believe these individuals.

 

‘Under the pulpit in the west End [of the SLC Temple] will be a place to Offer Sacrifices. There will be an Altar prepared for that purpose so that when any sacrifices are to be offered they should be offered there.’ - Wilford Woodruff's Journal[7]

 

To this truth seeker, this quote is very troublesome for a couple of fairly obvious reasons. The individuals I interviewed claimed to have seen such an altar, and claimed it was underneath the west end of the temple. According to this personal journal entry, such an altar apparently existed at one time, and in all likelihood yet exists today.” - True Ott

Sociologists David Brion Davis and Robert N. Bellah pointed out the fact that anti-Mormonism was very similar to criticism of Freemasonry and Catholicism, with all of the same complaints. Accusations of Satanism against the Mormons started early in the church’s history, in 1854, when Orestes Brownson published a work entitled The Spirit Rapper: An Autobiography. Brownson believed that Smith was clearly under the Devil’s influence:

 

“That there was a superhuman power employed in founding the Mormon church, cannot easily be doubted by any scientific and philosophic mind that has investigated the subject; and just as little can a sober man doubt that the power employed was not Divine, and that Mormonism is literally the Synagogue of Satan.”

 

“In his normal state, Smith could never have written the most striking passages of the Book of Mormon; and any man capable of doing it, could never have written anything so weak, silly, utterly unmeaning as the rest.”

 

In 1860, The Devil in America by an author using the pen name “Lacon” was published exposing the “Devil of Mormonism” and claiming that the Devil himself created the religion through Joseph Smith, and then in 1864, Joseph Bizouard, a Catholic lawyer from Paris, published a 6-volume anti-Satanism set entitled Des Rapports de l’homme avec le Demon. It totaled 4,000 pages. In Vol. 6 he wrote a long chapter concerning “Mormon Satanism,” with the Brownson book that I mentioned above being his primary source of information. Bizouard continued to produce a massive amount of anti-Satanic literature in the 1870’s with colleagues Jules Eudes de Mirville and Henri-Roger Gougenot des Mousseaux. The work that they produced received a lot of attention during the great French and European anti-Masonic scare of the late 1880s and 1890s.

 

In 1891, in Paris, a book called Le Diable au 19e siècle promised “definitive” revelations on Satanism and the Satanic nature of Freemasonry. Its main author, Leo Taxil, a Freemason and author of anti-Catholic pamphlets who later converted to Catholicism, claimed that Freemasonry was controlled by a Satanic secret society called “Supreme Council of Palladism” of which he said Mormon President John Taylor was a member.

 

In 1923, author René Guénon, in his 1923 anti-Spiritualist book L’Erreur spirite and others, stated that the Mormon church was being controlled by Satanic forces and ultimately by the Devil himself. He acknowledged the fact that most members of the church were completely unaware of the Satanic origins of the church, and because of this he termed them “unconscious Satanists.”

 

 

In 1980, the book Michelle Remembers by Canadian psychologist, Lawrence Pazder and his patient Michelle Smith, publicizes information concerning ritualistic abuse and Satanism including memories and reports from various survivors who, as children, claimed to have been abused by secret Satanic cults. Some of the survivors linked the abuse to Satanic cult groups started by Brigham Young and said that their parents were the main sources of abuse.

 

In 1982, an ex-Mormon by the name of Ed Decker produced a book and documentary entitled The Godmakers and premiered it to an audience of over 4,000 Evangelical Protestants at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA. Decker said that the secret of the Mormon temples was Satanic worship:

 

“While most critics of Mormonism regard Joseph Smith as a fraud who deliberately deceived his followers into joining a church of his own making, and whose doctrines and rituals were borrowed from Freemasonry and other pagan religions, a careful investigation indicates that Joseph Smith was in touch with a superhuman source, Satan.” – Ed Decker

 

The same year the pastor of Shilo Christian Center in Idaho Falls, ID came out with a meticulously detailed report on an investigation that he conducted into the Mormon temple ceremony, saying that it was deeply rooted in Satanic worship.

 

In 1985, a therapist by the name of Dr. Barbara Snow showed up in a little town called Lehi, Utah where she made satanic ritualistic abuse allegations against respected local church leaders, leading to one Mormon elder actually being convicted. She and other therapists worked to expose other Mormon satanic rings in Utah and Idaho but couldn’t get enough to land any convictions.

In 1986 the Temple of Doom documentary that was made into an anti-Romney DVD in 2012 was created. Producer William J. Schnoebelen was initiated into Wicca, followed by Freemasonry, then Mormonism in 1980, followed by another conversion to Evangelical Protestantism. He had also been a member of a Luciferian group in Chicago. He doesn’t think of Luciferianism as any different from Satanism, he considers them one and the same. He states that, at the highest levels, the Mormon church is a Satanic cult. The Luciferian organization that he was a part of had even once suggested that he join the Mormons and specifically mentioned visiting the temple to further along his occult studies. In his book and video he proves conclusively that the initiation rites in Mormonism and Freemasonry are the same as those used in Satanism, Wicca, and Roman Catholicism; the same oaths, the same secret handshakes, and the same garb. Dr. Reed Durham, a former president of the Mormon History Association once observed:

 

“There is absolutely no question in my mind that the Mormon ceremony which came to be known as the Endowment, introduced by Joseph Smith to Mormon Masons, had an immediate inspiration from Masonry. It is also obvious that the Nauvoo Temple architecture was in part, at least, masonically influenced. Indeed, it appears that there was an intentional attempt to utilize Masonic symbols and motifs...”

 

Mormon ceremony: “We and each of us do covenant and promise that we will not reveal the secrets of this, the Second Token of the Aaronic Priesthood, with its accompanying name, sign, grip, or penalty. Should we do so, we agree to have our breasts cut open and our hearts and vitals torn from our bodies and given to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.”

 

Masonic ritual: “I ...most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear...that I will not give the degree of a Fellow Craft Mason to anyone of an inferior degree, nor to any other being in the known world...binding myself under no less penalty than to have my left breast torn open and my heart and vitals taken from thence...to become a prey to the wild beasts of the field, and vulture of the air...”

 

The temple “recommend” process to gain entry into the Mormon temple is just like that of Freemasonry and the Catholic confessional. 33^rd degree Freemason Jim Shaw makes the following observation:

 

“A recommendation for acceptance is called a 'recommend' in the Lodge, as is the case with Mormons seeking admission to the secret rituals of the Mormon Temple. Much of the Mormon Temple ritual is the same as the Masonic Ritual, having been borrowed from it by Smith.”

 

In 1991, a confidential memorandum to Church authorities written by Bishop Glenn L. Pace, Second Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, dated July 19, 1990, was published by Sandra Tanner, the great-great granddaughter of Brigham Young, and her husband Gerald. The memo indicated that a satanic cult within the church was sexually abusing children. The 100-page book examines the evidence. Page 1 can be seen in this book.

 

SALT LAKE CITY — Top officials of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints say they are investigating reports from members that, as children, they witnessed human sacrifices and suffered "satanic abuse" at the hands of renegade Mormon-affiliated cliques. Glenn L. Pace, a member of the church`s three-man presiding bishopric, reported in a memorandum dated July 19, 1990, and made public last week that an internal church investigation detailed 60 cases in which Mormons described undergoing ritualized abuse in Utah, Idaho, California, Mexico and other locations. - Chicago Tribune[9]

 

After the Tanners published the document and it came to the attention of the First Presidency of the Mormon Church, they published a letter that said the following:

 

“We occasionally receive reports from some areas about the activities of people who engage in ritualistic practices including forms of so-called Satan worship. We express our love and concern to innocent victims... We caution all members of the Church not to affiliate in any way with the occult or those mysterious powers it espouses.”

 

Shortly thereafter, the Utah Governor’s Commission for Women and Families formed a subcommittee and task force, issuing a document entitled Report of Utah State Task Force on Ritual Abuse. The May, 1992 report confirmed Pace’s findings. The main person involved in the subcommittee was Dr. Noemi P. Mattis who said that a Satanic ring “as secretive as the mafia” were hiding in the Mormon church’s hierarchy. She insisted that “doctors and morticians” were involved, claiming that it explained why bodies of victims were never found. In 1992, the work entitled Paperdolls, written by two Salt Lake Valley Mormon satanic ritualistic abuse survivors calling themselves April Daniels and Carol Scott mentions Black Masses and told of horrific abuse within the context of a “black” version of Mormon temple ceremonies involving Satanic ritualistic abuse and human sacrifice, and then in 1995 the Utah Attorney General’s office finished up a 2 ½ year investigation of:

 

“…over 125 cases of alleged ritual crime. In some cases, these investigations involved hundreds of hours of investigation and evaluation. In addition, the Unit investigators have met with hundreds of citizens who claim to be victims of satanic, religious, physical or sexually motivated ritual crimes….None of the allegations…. have resulted in’ prosecutions except for the case of the Zion Society in Ogden… Investigator Mike King told KUTV that he and another investigator talked to ‘hundreds’ of victims who alleged they were raped, tortured, forced to perform horrible acts, brainwashed, saw babies murdered or were forced to participate in ritual murders.”
