Mormon Polygamy Denials

Posted in Polygamy, tagged , , , , , , on 03/03/2013 | 3 Comments »

I wrote this article as a companion info sheet for an earlier study of the US Government and Mormonism. In light of the scripture changes made by the Church this week (March 1, 2013) I made some amendments reflecting the latest denial of the Church’s history with polygamy, and have included it here.

More than anything my heart hurts for those caught in the web of lies the Church keeps spinning.  The first purpose of this ministry is to glorify God by showcasing who He is and what He does for us. Our second focus is to warn others of the dangers when we don’t worship the God of the Bible. Unfortunately in this time of history there’s many organizations working overtime to turn people away from the One True God and Mormonism happens to be one of the biggest in recent history.  Now, onto the article…

Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887

The Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887

February 19, 1887

One hundred and twenty six years ago today the US Congress passed an anti-polygamy act – two weeks later (March 3) it would be signed into law.

EPSON MFP image EPSON MFP imageThe Edmunds-Tucker Act became the official law against polygamy in America, giving the government power to seize assets and dis-incorporate the LDS Church.  The Church’s refusal to truthfully testify about their polygamous activities and their refusal to stop practicing it had been a thorn in America’s side for over a half century.

Polygamist Warren Jeffs’ End-time Prophecy

Posted in FLDS, Polygamy, tagged , , on 11/19/2012 | 4 Comments »

Oh brother…

Warren Jeffs’ End-time Prophecy

From behind prison walls polygamist cult leader Warren Jeffs seems to be up to his old tricks again.

The Deseret News reported yesterday the permanent closing of several stores on Friday in Colorado City, AZ and the sudden reopening of the same stores the following morning. No one knows why they were closed or reopened for that matter. It seems this madman still has a spiritual stronghold over the people and controls everything they do.

False Prophecies of the Mormon Church

No Polygamy, No Salvation

Deseret News November 14, 1855, pg 2; “If any of you will deny the plurality of wives and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned…I wish more of our young men would take to themselves wives of the daughters of Zion, and not wait for us old men to take them all; go ahead upon the right principle, young gentlemen, and God bless you for ever and ever and make you fruitful , that we may fill the mountains and then the earth with righteous inhabitants.” – Heber C. Kimball, Comments made on October 6, 1855

I don’t know of any modern-day Mormon teaching that promotes this theory today.

No Polygamy Means No Salvation

Journal of Discourses 11:239; “We are told that if we would give up polygamy – which we know to be a doctrine revealed from heaven, and it is God and the world for it – but suppose this Church should give up this holy order of marriage, then would the devil, and all who are in league with him against the cause of God, rejoice that they had prevailed upon the Saints to refuse to obey one of the revelations and commandments of God to them.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, June 3, 1866

Warren Jeffs and his new prophecy

Posted in FLDS, Polygamy, Warren Jeffs, tagged , , , , , , on 12/31/2011 | Leave a Comment »

False Prophecies by False Prophets

When we don’t follow God’s word man’s idea of righteousness goes every which way.  Case in point is Joseph Smith and what he did in 1830.  With his idea of God people went their own ways after his death and today we see literally hundreds of different kinds of Mormonism rearing their ugly heads.

The case in Texas took another turn this week.  Warren Jeffs, the self proclaimed prophet of the polygamous group FLDS, issued a new prophecy.   Now he’s predicted the walls of the prison are going to fall down around him and until then no one is allowed to have sexual relations in their marriages.  If you’re caught doing so the punishment is swift and severe; it’s excommunication for you.

Let’s pray the reports are true that people are finally leaving.  And although that may seem like a good thing we also need to pray they’ll come to know the truth about Jesus and get saved!

Polygamy, Mormonism and the one true God

Polygamy and Following Jesus

Journal of Discourses 5:204; “Some quietly listen to those who speak against the Lord’s servants, against his anointed, against the plurality of wives, and against almost every principle that God has revealed. Such persons have half-a-dozen devils with them all the time. You might as well deny “Mormonism,” and turn away from it, as to oppose the plurality of wives.” – Heber C. Kimball, October 12, 1856, Salt Lake City

Joseph Smith, Polygamy and Under Age Girls

Joseph Smith, Polygamy and Under Age Girls

As everyone who reads our blog and site knows, we’ve been following the case of Warren Jeffs who was found guilty of sex crimes against minors and today (August 9, 2011) we saw that he was sentenced to life plus twenty years.

While he may be paying for his crime here on earth right now there’s still another judgment he’ll have to face when he meets his Maker and I’m sure the penalties are much stiffer than we could inflict here.

In light of all this I’ve been asking the same question throughout our updates and articles; what’s the difference between the acts of Warren Jeffs and the acts of Joseph Smith?

Are you aware that Joseph Smith married seven children under the age of 18?

Just in Case You Didn’t Know…

After watching various news reports about Warren Jeffs over the past few months we felt it might help the casual visitor to understand the differences between the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) in Eldorado, Texas (also in various towns throughout Utah) and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Prayer Needed for the Polygamy Trial in Texas

Posted in Polygamy, tagged , , , , , , , on 07/21/2011 | Leave a Comment »

As we begin our week next week Life After Ministries will be paying close attention to the trial going on in Texas against Warren Jeffs, the prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We’re asking our fellow Christian readers to come alongside us in prayer for those caught in the ugliness of this cult and prayer for the judge, the jury and those who’ve volunteered to take care of the children during the raid.

Most of the kids are back with their parents in the compound but precious light and truth was shared with them while out of the custody of this cult.  Pray this will speak to them in their lives.  We’ll be giving updates to the trial so continue to come back and don’t forget to pray!

With Love in Christ, Michelle Grim

Polygamy Quotes

Ezra Taft Benson

Journal of Discourses 6:181; “The next man who came on to the carpet wanted to know how many wives brother Brigham had. I replied, “I have not come here to lay before this people the domestic affairs of my Governor. It is a question I never asked him myself, for I never took the pains to inquire anything about it. But still, as I am a Yankee, I will guess, if that will do you any good. Now,” said I, “I will be honest with you, for your pastor has given me the freedom of speech; and if I may judge for appearances, I should presume he has some fifty or sixty.””

Mormon Dilemma 13

Joseph Smith’s Polygamy Problem

In Sacred Loneliness, pg. 463; “In the year 1842 President Joseph Smith sought an interview with me, and said, ‘I have a message for you, I have been commanded of God to take another wife, and you are the woman.’ … He asked me if I believed him to be a Prophet of God. … He fully Explained to me the principle of plural or celestial marriage … that it would prove an everlasting blessing to my father’s house. … [Joseph encouraged her to pray] ‘that the grave would kindly receive me that I might find rest on the bosom of my dear [recently deceased] mother … Why Should I be chosen from among thy daughters, Father I am only a child in years and experience.’ And thus I prayed in the agony of my soul. … [The marriage] was not a love matter—at least on my part it was not, but simply the giving up of myself as a sacrifice to establish that grand and glorious principle that God had revealed to the world.”

     Here we are in the twenty first century and still talking about polygamy.  On Tuesday, February 13, 2007 ABC aired a program called “The Outsiders”.  The focus was of course the polygamous community of Centennial Park, AZ that lies just two miles south of Colorado City, home to the infamous group of the Fundamental Latter-day Saints.

Joseph Smith and Polygamy

In the 13 years I was a Mormon there was little talk about Joseph Smith and polygamy. Whenever polygamy was brought up the discussion was usually centered on Brigham Young as the one who set the example and paved the way for polygamy in the early Mormon Church.
