Trace you priesthood line of authority

Back to Joseph Smith, and beyond? Just when and where did that pesky Melchizedek priesthood restoration occur?

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

When Warren Jeffs claims he is God's prophet, isn't that good enough for you?

The account of this event is very, very mushy, which is inconsistent with an event that would be so monumental in the establishment of god's true church. Joseph never even mentioned it until the authority crises in the mid 1830s. Prior to that time, it was taught that the "high priesthood" was first given to Joseph by Lyman Wight in a meeting in 1831. Bushman admits this in RSR, and the cognitive dissonance it engenders. So no - Spring of 1829 isn't good enough.
So I, too, would make this popp-ed corn and win over those mindless drones.

Just keep praying and fasting. You'll get an answer in the affirmative if your efforts are worthy and your faith strong.

Others have, you can too.

Brother BC,

I testify to you in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST that I KNOW that WARREN JEFFS is GOD'S PROPHET UPON THE EARTH. I do not believe it, I KNOW IT with EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!

I know that if you pray about this, you can know it too, if you are worthy. If you do not receive the knowledge, it is only because you have not sufficiently humbled yourself before HIM WHO IS ON HIGH! I exhort you, that, when ye shall receive these things, that ye shall ponder them in your heart. Then I would that ye should ask god, even the eternal father, in the name of THE SON, if these things are not true. If ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, with a purity of mind -- and of essence -- the LORD shall manifest you the truth of these things.

And now, BC, deny not his servant Warren Jeffs, that ye be not denied at the coming of him who is above all. For he cometh quickly, even into your mouth. Amen.

Are you paying a full tithe to Warren Jeff's church? Don't expect for the spirit to be with you to confirm something if you're not trying to welcome him in by obedience to the Lord's prophet. You need to create an atmosphere for the spirit to confirm it to you.

Are you living the law of chastity bcspace? ...No really are you? ...No, but seriously are you?

Have you read over Warren Jeff's words prayerfully?

Brother bcspace, when you've received a confirmation that Warren Jeffs is a prophet of God, WILL YOU choose to follow our savior Jesus Christ into the waters of baptism?

I know as you do these things the lord will bless you with a great measure of the spirit, and brother bcspace, I know he'll confirm this to you. I'm excited to see the great things he'll do in your life.

So when can we stop back by?

You've now had the testimony of three gathered in Warren Jeff's name brother bcspace. I've felt the spirit today. Have you?
