Enough with the nice talk. TIME IS UP. TIME HAS RUN OUT. Accordiing to the Bible, Jesus is coming for His Bride.

If you’re still a Mormon after looking at the truth, something’s seriously off. The evidence is piled up like temple bricks: Joseph Smith was a fraud, the Book of Mormon is fiction, and the LDS system is crushing souls with shame, silence, and self-righteous nonsense.

While the real Jesus is offering rest, grace, and eternal life, Mormons are still performing for temple access and trying to earn their way to godhood. Let’s stop pretending this is a “difference of opinion.” It’s a difference between life and death. Truth and delusion. Christ and cult. And based on the evidence? You’ve got to be crazy to still be Mormon.

Pornography, Addictions, and Suicide in Utah

“The Hidden Plague Beneath the White Shirts”

In a place often regarded as the “cleanest” and “most religious” state in America, something dark festers beneath the surface. With its immaculate lawns, shiny temples, and pressed white shirts, Utah may appear spiritually pristine. But behind the facade lies a hidden epidemic: addiction, pornography, depression, and suicide.

And it’s not just speculation. The numbers are in. The damage is visible. And the LDS Church can no longer hide behind stained-glass smiles.

The Statistics No One Wants to Talk About

Let’s get honest.

Utah has consistently ranked among the top states in the nation for pornography consumption.

According to multiple analyses, including a widely-cited 2009 Harvard study reported in The New York Times:

Utah ranked #1 in paid porn subscriptions per capita. People in Utah were more likely to consume pornography online than residents of any other state.

More recent studies conducted by Covenant Eyes and ProCon.org continue to place Utah within the top 5 states for porn consumption, and several additional sources tie Provo and Salt Lake City to some of the highest per-capita traffic to adult sites in the country.

But it doesn’t stop there.

  • Utah ranks 6th in the U.S. for opioid overdose deaths.
  • Suicide is the leading cause of death for Utah residents ages 10–24.
  • According to the CDC, Utah's teen suicide rate is over 3X the national average.

And yet, this is the same state that boasts one of the most religiously observant populations in America—dominated by a single controlling religious institution: the LDS Church.

Cause and Effect?

“You shall know them by their fruit.”

What’s going on? Why is a state that claims near-universal belief in family, faith, and God drowning in despair, secrecy, and addiction?

Let me say it plainly: the LDS religious system is spiritually oppressive, performance-driven, shame-based, and doctrinally flawed at its core. It is the very opposite of the Gospel of Grace.

In Mormonism, your worth is conditional. Your identity depends on:

  • Your temple worthiness.
  • Your tithing faithfulness.
  • Your ability to appear sinless.

And if you fall short?

You lose your place.
You’re shamed or shunned.
You risk losing your marriage… your community… your eternity.

So, what happens to the LDS man—overwhelmed, under pressure, battling private sin and shame, with no place to confess, no Savior to save, and no Gospel to free him?

He numbs. He hides. He dies inside.

And tragically, many die physically, either by suicide, overdose, or the slow erosion of addiction and shame.

The Culture of Secrecy and Appearance

Mormon culture is obsessed with outward cleanliness while completely ignoring inward decay.

Jesus warned us about this:

"Woe to you… you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence." Matthew 23:25

This is Utah.

This is Mormonism.

This is what happens when a religious system demands perfection without grace, obedience without mercy, and silence instead of confession.

You cannot confess your sins in Mormonism without risking your entire social, spiritual, and familial status.

So… no one confesses.
They hide. They fake. They break.

The Consequences for LDS Women

Let’s talk about the wives.

According to LDS doctrine, a man who secretly watches porn risks losing his place in the highest level of heaven—the Celestial Kingdom. But what happens to his wife?

She loses her exaltation too.
Her eternal destiny is linked to his performance.
She doesn’t even know he’s been disqualifying her.

Mormon women are being spiritually robbed—and they don’t even know it.

These are good, faithful, sincere women who are trying to earn their place in eternity, unaware that their husbands’ unconfessed sins, hidden by a shame-driven culture, may have already cost them everything.

This is NOT the Gospel. This is NOT biblical. This is spiritual abuse.

What the Bible Actually Says

The Gospel of Jesus Christ—truth as revealed in the Bible—offers freedom, not fear:

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

Jesus is not waiting to condemn. He is ready to redeem. In His Kingdom, confession leads to cleansing, not condemnation. In His economy, grace flows freely, and your eternity is secured by His righteousness—not your performance.

The Way Out

To every LDS man trapped in secrecy: Jesus sees you. Jesus can free you.

To every LDS woman unknowingly suffering: You are not defined by your husband’s hidden sins. Jesus alone determines your destiny.

To every LDS child navigating guilt, pressure, and perfectionism: You are loved exactly as you are. Come out of the system. Come into the light.

To the entire Great Basin Region:

There is a better way.
There is a real Jesus.
And there is absolute freedom in Him.

THINK!

How long will we tolerate this madness?
How many more children need to take their lives?
How many more families must be destroyed?
How many more must silently suffer before someone stands up and says the truth?
The LDS system is broken. It has failed. It is the root of the fruit.

The HARPAZO vs. The Mormon End Times Fantasy

When Jesus Comes for His Bride… and the LDS Don’t Know Who She Is

Jesus is coming soon to gather His Bride. The biblical Harpazo—what many call the “rapture”—is a foundational New Testament promise of hope. But when you ask most Mormons about it? You’ll get blank stares, doctrinal confusion, or worse—blatant contradictions.

Why? Because the LDS Church doesn't believe in the biblical Harpazo. They have replaced it with an elaborate fantasy of hand-picked exaltation, religious performance, temple marriage, and self-earned salvation.

Let’s break it down.

What is the Harpazo?

The term Harpazo is used in the Greek New Testament and means “to snatch away” or “to seize.” The Bible is abundantly clear:

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds…" 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17

This moment—known as the Rapture—is the instant Jesus gathers His true Bride, His Church, before the judgment of the Great Tribulation.

"Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:18

This is the blessed hope of every born-again believer:

"…we wait eagerly for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." Philippians 3:20

What Does the LDS Church Teach?

Shockingly, the Harpazo is NOT taught in the Book of Mormon. In fact, the concept of a pre-tribulational rapture is not only ignored—it’s replaced with confusing, contradictory ideas of millennial preparation, gathering to Missouri, and temple worthiness.

The current LDS Prophet and Church leadership teach that Jesus will return “someday,” but not to rescue His Bride. Instead, Mormons believe Jesus’ return is tied to their works, their temple covenants, and their righteousness.

You’ll hear phrases like:

"We are preparing for the Second Coming by building Zion."

"Only the most faithful temple-worthy Saints will be exalted."

"Christ's return is dependent on our obedience."

This isn’t biblical eschatology. It’s a works-based fantasy rooted in self-effort and self-exaltation.

Who is the Bride of Christ?

According to the Bible, the Bride of Christ is the Church—the Gentile, blood-bought, born-again Body of believers:

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her… that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle… but that she would be holy and blameless." Ephesians 5:25–27

Yet in Mormonism, the Bride is fragmented, redefined, and replaced by temple covenants and elite ordinances. Only those sealed in the temple are promised "eternal marriage" and a chance to become “gods.”

They have no concept of the Bride being a global community of believers, saved by grace, set apart by faith, and filled with the Spirit.

In short: the LDS Church doesn’t know who the Bride is, and they’re not preparing anyone to meet the Bridegroom.

Jesus' Millennial Reign vs. Mormon Millennialism

The Bible clearly teaches that after the Harpazo and the Great Tribulation, Jesus will return to Earth to rule for 1,000 years from Jerusalem:

"They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." Revelation 20:4

This reign will be characterized by justice, peace, righteousness, and the restoration of all things. King Jesus will rule the nations with a rod of iron, and His Bride will reign alongside Him.

The LDS version?

Well… Jesus might return to Missouri.

NO JOKE. According to LDS Doctrine & Covenants 84:2-3 and other teachings, the LDS Church believes:

Jesus will return to Independence, Missouri and reign from there.

Zion will be established by faithful LDS members.

Only temple-worthy Saints will inherit the highest glory.

It’s a blend of American folklore, nationalism, and religious elitism. It’s not biblical.

The Real Danger: LDS Members Aren’t Ready

Mormons are not expecting to be caught up in the clouds.
They are not looking for their Redeemer to rescue His Bride.
They are being taught that their exaltation depends on their obedience.

There’s no urgency.
There’s no cry of “Come, Lord Jesus!”
There’s no confidence in His finished work.

Instead, they’re scrambling to be good enough—rushing to earn favor, pass worthiness interviews, and keep up appearances.

The problem? Jesus comes like a thief in the night:

"Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour." Matthew 25:13

Logic, Reason, and Spiritual Discernment

Think about it:

Why would God reveal the true plan of the end of the age to a man like Joseph Smith, a polygamist, Freemason, convicted fraudster, and failed prophet?

Why would God wait until the 1800s to give “new revelation” about the Second Coming—after He already gave it in the Bible?

And why would that “revelation” include Jesus returning to Jackson County, Missouri instead of Mount of Olives in Jerusalem?

"In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives…" Zechariah 14:4

Let’s be honest: if any sane person today walked around claiming the Messiah will return to Independence, Missouri, they’d be ridiculed or hospitalized.

But if the LDS Church teaches it, millions accept it as gospel.

The Truth and the Way Out

The biblical Harpazo is real. Jesus is coming soon—for a Bride who is watching, waiting, and filled with His Spirit.

If you’re LDS and reading this, I plead with you in love:

Come out of Babylon.
Come into the light.
Leave the temple. Enter the Kingdom.

There is no hope in Joseph Smith. There is no rescue in the Book of Mormon. There is no future in Missouri Zion.

There is only Jesus Christ—crucified, risen, reigning, and returning.

"Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus." Titus 2:13

Word from Grace

The clock is ticking.
The trumpet is about to sound.
And the LDS people are not ready.

The biblical Jesus is not waiting for temple-worthy Saints. He’s coming for His surrendered Bride—made righteous by GRACE.

You’re either watching for Him, or you're working for Him.
You’re either waiting in rest, or performing in fear.
You’re either His Bride… or you’re not.

Let today be the day you say YES to the real Jesus.
Let today be the day you reject the Mormon fairytale.
Let today be the day you prepare for the REAL KING and His coming Kingdom.

The 1,000-Year Reign of Jesus vs. The LDS Missouri Millennial Myth

“Why Would King Jesus Leave Jerusalem for Jackson County?”

One of the most important teachings in all of Scripture is that Jesus Christ will physically return to the earth and rule for 1,000 years from Jerusalem. This is not symbolic. It is not metaphor. It is a prophetic reality declared across the pages of Scripture—from the prophets to the apostles to the final Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Yet the LDS Church has invented an alternate storyline.

According to Mormonism, Jesus will return to rule not from the Mount of Olives, but from a specially designated plot of land in Jackson County, Missouri. Their eschatological centerpiece isn’t Jerusalem—it’s Independence.

Let’s compare these two millennial visions: one rooted in biblical truth, the other birthed by a treasure-digging, polygamous conman named Joseph Smith.

What Does the Bible Say About Jesus’ 1,000-Year Reign?

The book of Revelation makes it abundantly clear:

"They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." Revelation 20:4

This passage speaks of a literal, physical reign of Jesus Christ after His second coming. The reign of Christ will begin with His defeat of the Antichrist, and His throne will be established in Jerusalem:

"And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east…" Zechariah 14:4

This is the Jesus of the Bible—the Jewish Messiah, the Son of David, returning to fulfill the promises made to Israel, not to replace them with an American real estate deal in the 19th century.

The 1,000-year reign of Christ will be characterized by:

Global peace and righteousness (Isaiah 2:4)

Universal knowledge of God (Isaiah 11:9)

Physical transformation of the land (Isaiah 35:1)

Justice, holiness, and the restoration of all things (Acts 3:21)

What Does the LDS Church Teach?

According to the Doctrine and Covenants 84:1–5; 57:1–3), Joseph Smith prophesied that Zion would be built in Independence, Missouri, and that Jesus would return there to reign over a millennial theocracy:

“This is the land of promise, and the place for the city of Zion.” D&C 57:2)

Smith declared that the LDS Church was literally building the New Jerusalem in Missouri, and that Jesus would return to reign from there—not from Jerusalem in Israel.

LDS doctrine teaches that the millennial reign of Christ will involve:

Jesus ruling from Missouri and Old Jerusalem simultaneously.

Righteous LDS members building Zion by their faithfulness and temple worthiness.

The destruction of all other religious and political systems to make way for the “restored Church.”

Let’s be blunt: This is American religious imperialism cloaked in pseudo-Christian language.

Let’s Use Logic for a Moment

Are we to believe that Jesus, the King of Kings, the Root of Jesse, the Son of David, born in Bethlehem, crucified in Jerusalem, who ascended from the Mount of Olives, is going to abandon His Jewish heritage and prophecies to reign from… Independence, Missouri?

Let’s review:

The Bible says Jerusalem.

LDS doctrine says Jackson County.

Which one sounds more like divine prophecy? Which one sounds like a land scheme?

If Joseph Smith was alive today, claiming that Jesus was coming back to Missouri, he’d be laughed out of every serious theological institution and flagged for mental health concerns. Yet millions still accept this fantasy without question.

The Weight of Prophetic Accuracy

Jesus fulfills prophecy perfectly.

He was born where prophecy said He would be.
He died where prophecy said He would.
He rose as prophecy foretold.

And He will return… exactly where prophecy says He will:

"Thus says the LORD, 'I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.'" Zechariah 8:3

In contrast, Joseph Smith has never fulfilled a single verifiable prophecy. Not one. His Missouri claim is among his most absurd, historically unsupported, and theologically indefensible.

What Kingdom Are You Preparing For?

If you're LDS, you are being taught to prepare for the return of a Jesus who:

  • Will not rapture His Bride.
  • Will come only for the temple-worthy.
  • Will reign from Missouri.
  • Will elevate LDS members to become gods and rule their own planets.

Compare that to the Bible:

  • Jesus comes for His Bride, saved by grace.
  • He reigns from Jerusalem, not America.
  • His people reign with Him, not as gods, but as sons and daughters.
  • His Kingdom is eternal, holy, and globally redemptive.

A Matter of Eternal Logic

Let’s use simple reason:

Why would God abandon thousands of years of prophetic groundwork in the Bible to start over in 1830 with a man who couldn’t keep his pants zipped and plagiarized large portions of his scriptures?

Why would the eternal throne of the King of Glory be relocated to farmland in Missouri?

Answer: He wouldn’t. And He hasn’t.

The Call to the LDS People

LDS brothers and sisters, I plead with you—wake up.

This is not about hurting your feelings.
It’s about saving your soul.
It’s about eternity.

The fantasy you’ve been taught is not harmless. It’s not a quaint little variation of Christianity. It is a direct contradiction to the truth of God’s Word.

It is Babylonian in nature, American in spirit, and demonic in origin.

And like every false system—it’s going to fall.

The Way Forward

You don’t have to keep pretending.
You don’t have to keep performing.
You don’t have to follow Joseph Smith into delusion.

Come to the real Jesus. The Jesus of Jerusalem, not Jackson County.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8

"From Jerusalem… the law will go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." Isaiah 2:3

Let today be the day you throw away Joseph’s fantasy and embrace the truth.

Jackson County doesn’t need a throne—it needs a revival.
Jesus isn’t coming to Missouri—He’s coming to reign from Jerusalem.
And He’s not looking for temple recommend cards—He’s looking for surrendered hearts.

LDS friends: stop building Babylon in Zion’s name.

Turn. Repent. Be free.

Joseph Smith vs. Jesus Christ — Who Would You Trust With Your Soul?

Only One Has Scars in His Hands.

We live in an age that values credibility. When making decisions that affect our health, our careers, or our finances, we often ask: Is this person trustworthy? Can I believe them? What’s their track record?

So here’s the eternal question:

Who would you trust with your soul—Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ?

It’s a question worth asking.
It’s a question worth answering.
Because eternity is a long time to be wrong.

Let’s do what any wise person would do. Let’s compare the resumes.

The Life of Jesus Christ — The Sinless Son of God

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, raised in Nazareth, and fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies in His lifetime.

He lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21), healed the sick, raised the dead, and fed multitudes. He walked in perfect obedience to the Father, teaching truth with unmatched clarity and love.

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6

Jesus was betrayed, crucified, buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. He appeared to hundreds of eyewitnesses and ascended into heaven Acts 1:9). His life was marked by truth, humility, love, and sacrifice.

He never married. He never lied. He never took advantage of anyone. He never changed His message.

He never failed.
He never sinned.
He never broke a single prophecy.

"He committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth." 1 Peter 2:22

The Life of Joseph Smith — The Self-Appointed Prophet

Joseph Smith was born in 1805 in Vermont. By his own testimony, he was visited by an angel named Moroni who revealed golden plates buried in a hill in upstate New York.

According to Smith, he translated the plates with a seer stone placed inside a hat.

No one else ever saw the plates without "spiritual eyes."
No archaeological evidence supports the civilizations described in the Book of Mormon.
DNA evidence completely disproves his claim that Native Americans descended from Israelites.

Joseph Smith:

  • Was arrested multiple times for fraud and disorderly conduct.
  • Married over 30 women, many of whom were teenagers—some as young as 14.
  • Married other men’s wives, often while those men were away on missions.
  • Claimed no one could enter the highest heaven without his permission.
  • Declared that God was once a man and that we could become gods ourselves.

“No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith.” Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 289)

The Difference is Eternal

Let’s be brutally honest. If you were picking someone to handle your finances, your health, or your future—would you pick a criminal con artist who practiced secret polygamy, rewrote scripture, and made up prophecies that never came true?

Would you trust a man who copied Freemason rituals, lied to his own followers, and declared himself superior to Jesus?

"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together." Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 408-409)

The contrast between Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith could not be sharper. Jesus was born in fulfillment of centuries-old prophecies, His arrival foretold by prophets and confirmed by Scripture. Joseph Smith, by contrast, claimed to have launched a “new dispensation,” one that supposedly corrected what Jesus and His apostles got wrong.

Jesus’ ministry was marked by healing, truth, and selfless love—restoring the broken, lifting the oppressed, and giving His life for the world. Joseph Smith’s ministry, however, was characterized by secrecy, manipulation, and polygamy, often hidden from public view and cloaked in spiritual authority. Jesus’ authority was divinely affirmed through miracles, prophecy, and His resurrection, while Joseph Smith’s authority was self-declared, fluid, and constantly shifting.

Morally, Jesus was without sin—completely self-sacrificing and pure. Joseph Smith, on the other hand, lied to his followers, manipulated women, and exploited his spiritual position. And in the end? Jesus rose from the dead, securing eternal life for all who believe. Joseph Smith died in a gunfight at Carthage jail. One reigns forever as the risen King; the other left behind a trail of deception, broken promises, and spiritual confusion.

Would You Trust Your Surgeon If…

  • Would you let a surgeon operate on your brain if he:
  • Had 30 wives and married teenagers?
  • Lied about where he went to medical school?
  • Claimed to have magical powers from an angel in a hat?

Now ask:

Would you trust Joseph Smith with your eternal soul?

Bible vs. Book of Mormon: Which is More Credible?

The Bible:

  • Authored by 40+ people over 1,500 years
  • Confirmed by archaeological evidence
  • Supported by manuscript integrity
  • Fulfilled prophecy in exact detail
  • Coherent, consistent, and unchanging

The Book of Mormon:

  • Authored by one man with no credible witnesses
  • Contradicted by archaeology, history, and science
  • Filled with plagiarized verses from the KJV Bible
  • Contains 19th-century American concepts, racism, and theological absurdities

The Bible points always to Jesus Christ.

The Book of Mormon promotes Joseph Smith’s visions and elevates another gospel.

"But even if we… or an angel from heaven… should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!" Galatians 1:8
