Jeremy Runnells RESIGNS from the LDS Church

  • After dedicating his whole life to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the principles of the gospel of which the Lord through His son Jesus Christ has proclaimed, only to be repeatedly kicked in the rear and punched in the mouth merely for asking questions in which his church leaders are obliged to answer, Brother Runnells gave a bombshell during his scheduled Court of Love on charges of what the True Restored Church of Jesus Christ and its leaders consider "apostasy".
    There was once a governor named Pontius Pilate who, when a man accused of apostasy and spreading false doctrine was brought before him, declared, "I find no fault in this man!". The church that brought this action is named in honor of Him.
    Maybe you remember the story of Abinadi, brought before King Noah.
    www.lds.org/ma...
    Thousands of years later, the event is re-created, with Mark Ivins playing the role of King Noah and Brother Runnells as Abinadi. Except that the ending is less violent.

    I have sought truth regarding the LDS church when I learned Joseph Smith was not loyal to Emma as I was taught. I am so grateful to have found your testimony. You changed my life for the better. I wrote my resignation letter from the LDS church, will have it notarized and intend to mail it this week. Thank you!

    I was born and raised in the “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Nothing was more important than the Church. First is God, second the Church, third spouse and family. If I were to choose not to follow the rules and laws, (commonly know as latter day prophecy in which allows the church to change policy in their teachings) I was just flat out wrong in their eyes. To have “family” gang up against me for loosing my “faith” is just sad.
    Since childhood, there has been so much “fear” placed upon me as a member of the church. Fear of being sent to Hell for not living the “gospel” principles.
    After being born into an “LDS” Family, I was “blessed” and given my name by my father. This is what I would be known by on the “records” of the church. In that blessing many things were pronounced upon me. Like, I would grow and develop a testimony that the “church” was the only “true” church upon the face of this earth. That Joseph Smith was the prophet of God. That I would be baptized at 8 and become a full member of the gospel. (Which I did) They told me that “I was making the choice to be baptized”. That would be the 1st “hook” into their gasp of me Around the age of 12, I was “privileged “ to be baptized for the dead in the Churches Temple as their proxy. But before that could happen I met with the leader of the “ward”, (a group of members in the same area), or more commonly known as the Bishop. At that time I was pressured to tell any wrong doings to him. Alone just me and him. Kind of like confession. I feared the Bishop as he had the right to tell me whether or not I was “worthy” to go. Now, at the age of 8 being baptized, I was put under water once. For the dead though I was dunked approximately 25 times. This was supposed to make me feel the spiritual side or the sacredness of the Temple. Not as the world said a “secret”. It was just weird. Around the age of 16 I was taken to the “Patriarch” for a “Patriarchal Blessing”. He told me through the laying on of hands”, how my earthly life would continue on as long as I was worthy. I was told many things such as I would meet and marry an honorable man whom had served a full time mission for the Church. That he would take me to the house of the Lord or Temple, to be married and sealed for time and all eternity. That I would become a mother in Zion and bear children. That I would serve the woman of the ward,....and on and on
    As a young adult, I was diligent in my church. I went to Seminary for 4 years in the wee hours of the morning during my 9th-12th grade. I attended Brigham Young University and met my Husband. I was married in the Salt Lake Temple. Once again I went to the temple to take out my endowments, (or promises) and to be married and sealed to him. The ordinances done there in the Temple were literally scary. The cult behavior inside is extreme. Doing chants, certain signs and symbols. Wearing ropes of white, a green leaf apron to cover my “nakedness” before the sight of God. A veil to cover my face during a ritualistic prayer. But being promised if I did this I would have that “forever family”,.....I went along with it.
    During my marriage I gave birth to 7 children. After years of sexual and mental abuse myself, I found out my children were being sexually and physically abused by my husbands nephew. The torment that I went through was hell itself! But when I found out about my children’s abuse, I was furious!! I attended a court of law after my Bishop counseled me to forgive and forget. My son and I were threatened by my father-in-law and his Grandfather, to be silent for their “name” could not be tarnished. In the court of law my son and I sat alone on the opposite side that his father and his family sat on. Just before entering court, my son, his father and I were approached by the grandfather. His statement was to his son, (my husband and father of my son), “you have a lot to lose”. LlAt that time my son and I were told by my husband, “I have to be there for my sister and my family.” I said, “we are your family”. At that point, I knew we were alone.
    The LDS Church has destroyed my family. From private investigators to Bishops, my family has been torn apart. They have pitted myself and my children against each other. Saying “choose wisely”. The fear instilled from the church keeps them from choosing reality. It’s faith instead of facts. Church over family. Abandonment. Fear of losing everything and everyone because all that’s known IS the Church. Continued harassment from church leaders and members of the family that still are in the church is never ending. Loss is great. Loss is evident. Loss became reality.
    Not only have I lost my married family but now my birth family. Our belongings have been taken. Our finances stopped. Help is an under statement.

      Based on what you have said, your Bishop was wrong and your Husband was wrong and there was a lot of selfish pride shown by the grandfather. The Church didn't ruin your family, some "Bad Actors" did. The molester and those who wanted to bury things. People aren't perfect. The Church has much to offer. I am a convert and the Church has made a huge difference in my life. It can be fir you again as well. You just need to keep Church and idiots separate.

    Wow!! Attending a court of "love", requiring the time and efforts of 12 High Councilmen 3 Stake Presidency, Jeremy's bishop and several other LDS priesthood leaders, requiring them to attend and participate in this "disciplinary council" (instead of being at home with their families)---and *THEN* for Jeremy to completely shut down this kangaroo court by submitting his resignation papers to Ivens and walking OUT, was pure GENIUS!!
    In case some don't realize the significance of this event (Jeremy's resignation AFTER the "hearing"), the very moment a resignation letter is delivered to an "agent" of the LDS church (President Ivins), that person resigning is INSTANTLY no longer a member and CANNOT BE DISCIPLINED. The "court" was immediately rendered meaningless and of no effect by Jeremy! It was a thing of beauty to behold!! I do feel bad for the priesthood brethren in attendance, that they wasted their time in this charade for NOTHING. Bottom line: no excommunication took place. Instead, a very public RESIGNATION foiled their attempt. Wish I coudda been there!!

    • @TA-jb4ke
      @TA-jb4ke 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Duh!That's exactly what I said."Finally getting the courage"?? LOL!!That was Jeremy's ace-in-the-hole move. He fully expected to cross examine or ask questions....which happens in a REAL court or hearing. When it was clear he was being railroaded with no recourse, he pulled out his *ace*!

    • @travisr.anderson6776
      @travisr.anderson6776 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      "Duh!That's exactly what I said."
      No, what you wrote was, "THEN for Jeremy to completely shut down this kangaroo court by submitting his resignation papers to Ivens and walking OUT, was pure GENIUS!!" He didn't "shut down" anything. The Stake President set the pattern of proceeding. He stated, I will give a 15 minute statement, then you are allowed to respond for 45 minutes. Jeremy didn't even have enough material to go the full time he was allotted. At the end of Jeremy's statement, he was simply going to be excommunicated. He didn't even bother responding to the charges of the Stake President. Instead, he was "shut down" by their refusing to allow him to dictate the proceeding. You really don't get it, do you?
      "Finally getting the courage"?? LOL!!"
      Yes. Finally, He has been whining and scared of being excommunicated for years. If he had any real courage, he wouldn't have waited until the inevitable was upon him.
      "That was Jeremy's ace-in-the-hole move. He fully expected to cross examine or ask questions....which happens in a REAL court or hearing."
      "Ace-in-the-hole move"? How? He was dictated to by the Stake President and did what he was told. As you stated, "He fully expected to cross examine" however he was "told" that is not how the proceeding was going to occur. The High Council was informed he would be recording the proceeding in an attempt to "leak" the material for purpose of ridicule and what we now have is Jeremy's attempt to reconstruct some semblance of his motives. You don't know him very well, do you?
      "When it was clear he was being railroaded with no recourse, he pulled out his ace!"
      What he really did was get shut down and act like a whining child. He "took his ball and went home" like a petulant Child.

      I admit that I *DON'T GET IT!!* That's why I'm out and your still IN...and supporting this type of unChrist like barbarism!! What Jeremy "shut down" was the INTENT of this phony Star Chamber Tribunal to excommunicate him.*THAT* is what he "shut down", which is EXACTLY what I said that you ignored---trying to make up some bullshit story. I don't know Jeremy?? At least I read his cesletter. YOU apparently have NOT. And you accuse ME of not knowing him?? LOL!! I admit I don't know him personally, tho we did meet and talk briefly in Costco a couple of months ago. Are YOU claiming to know him personally?? Where do you get your enlightened knowledge about him from??--the anti-anti-Mormon scuttlebutt at CHURCH?!?! "Petulant child". What else could he have done?... allow their Salt Lake City based decision to EX him, prevail?? He did the ONLY THING he could do when he realized he was being railroaded...with no recourse. It's worse than medieval!! Even Catholic excommunications 500 years ago, allowed rebuttals to the accusations, and even witnesses for the defense!! (Reference Galileo's RCC excommunication.) I've listened to EVERY interview that has ever been made with Jeremy and about him, and I have NEVER heard him "whine" about the possibility of being EXed. He KNEW it was a possibility. I have heard him say he didn't want to be excommed...in deference to his wife and her feelings. That is HARDLY "whining" about it. He WAS "shut down", that's for sure!! *THAT is what being railroaded MEANS!!* No recourse. No defense allowed OR considered. The FIX was IN!! His ONLY SIN was asking questions. The REAL SIN was never getting answers--even tho he was PROMISED answers! (Lying, dishonest, anti-Christ bastards!!) I also have to admit...you're pretty good at making up bullshit!! Your church has taught you WELL!!

      @travisr.anderson6776 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      "What Jeremy "shut down" was the INTENT of this phony Star Chamber Tribunal to excommunicate him."
      By preemptively leaving after they dictated the terms of the proceeding and he stammered to retort? Sure, believe that.
      "THAT is what he "shut down".I don't know Jeremy? At least I read his cesletter."
      He is no longer a member of the Church. The objective of the Stake President and High Counsel was achieved. He saved them what was turning into an awkward moment, pretending that wasn't the result they expected. I am sure you "read the CES Letter." So have I. Additionally, as previously stated, I have also performed the historical and scholarly research respecting the historical context and theological content of the "issues" he plagiarized. You have not. Especially if you only spent "2 years" researching the Church.
      "YOU apparently have NOT. And you accuse ME of not knowing him?? LOL!!"
      I have read it. As I already stated. His conclusions are silly and factual analysis deficient. That you were taken in by it is not surprising. He appeals to a certain type of simpleton. The kind that "do what they are told" without thinking.
      "I admit I don't know him personally, tho we did meet and talk briefly in Costco a couple of months ago."
      I know.
      "Where do you get your enlightened knowledge about him from??--the anti-anti-Mormon scuttlebutt at CHURCH?!?!"
      He is quite prolific. He has subjected us to hours upon hours of his ranting, youtube videos and interviews. It isn't difficult to diagnose is issues. Additionally, his writings are a good indicator of the type of moron he is.
      "Petulant child". What else could he have done? Allow their Salt Lake City based decision to EX him, prevail??"
      That is exactly what he did. He admittedly doesn't believe in God or the LDS Church. Yet he went through the farce of pretending to care that he retain his membership. These are the actions of a child.
      "He did the ONLY THING he could do when he realized he was being railroaded...with no recourse. It's worse than medieval!! Even Catholic excommunications allow rebuttals to the accusations, and even witnesses for the defense!!"
      You don't understand Church Counsels, do you? They aren't "Courts". They aren't there to prosecute a person. They are there to assist a person with their problems, if they want it. He didn't.
      "I've listened to EVERY interview that has ever been made with Jeremy and about him, and I have NEVER heard him "whine" about the possibility of being EXed."
      Then you haven't listened very closely.
      "I have heard him say he didn't want to be excommed...in deference to his wife and her feelings."
      Again, like you, doing something only because he was "told".
      "That is HARDLY "whining" about it. He WAS "shut down", that's for sure!! THAT is what being railroaded MEANS!! No recourse. No defense allowed OR considered. The FIX was IN!!"
      Agreed. He was a mindless simpleton and excommunication was the only way to prevent further injury to his soul.

    Jeremy Runnells did an incredible job and is one of the clearest, concisest and honest minds. I'm so impressed at the way he uses logic and truth to defend his innocence and incriminate their pathological lying history.
    His legacy will outlast his life. What an incredible example he's provided to others; whether mormon or not.
    If there's a hell that president and all the mormon liars should be there. I have trouble forgiving them because their such liars who have no accountablilty yet want to make Jeremy accountable for expecting truth ! Like Jeremy said, the only power they get is the power you give them. ...... I'm still working on forgiveness, and may be for the rest of my life.

    What public actions has he done against the church? He wrote a letter about all the conflicting things in the LDS church, church history, and church doctrine. Two years after he wrote the CES Letter, the church started publishing the "essays". The essays confirmed all the things in the CES letter were true. So if everything in the CES Letter is true, why is the church taking him to church court? Aren't members suppose to "seek after truth"? He was even willing to change the CES Letter, if anything written wasn't true. The church tried for a year and half to find something that wasn't true, so they could ex him for spreading lies, but they couldn't find anything.
    The situation is this: the TRUE facts about church doctrine and church history that are published in the CES letter are leading members away. The church can't erase the TRUTH, so they are going after the messenger.

    It doesn't matter whether the CES Letter has truth or falsehoods. There are a lot of errors in the letter. The reason he was ex'd was he communicated those beliefs on the internet, causing 1000s to leave the church. A member may have those beliefs, but cannot cause others to leave the church.

    God created man, man created religion!
    Jesus wants us to follow Him, not religion.
    Jesus said I Am the way, not religion is the way.
    Jesus said Follow Me, not follow me then pick some brand of worldly religion to follow also.
    Jesus never followed a religion. In fact Jesus was against the religious people of His day and He even went as far as to call them the children of the devil.
    The 12 disciples never followed religion, they only followed Jesus.
    So why is it that Mormons and other religious people believe they need to create or join a religion????
    People seek after religion because Jesus and the Gospel are no longer enough for them.
    As Jesus is no longer enough for them they create a religion to follow.
    It is like the people of Moses' day, where the people created a golden calf and worshiped it.
    Mormons have set their religion before them like an idol. They worship it and they defend it.
    Mormons need their book of Mormon because they believe that the Bible which contains all that Jesus did and taught is not enough for them.
    Mormons believe "church" = a religious institution
    Christians know "church" = people, followers of Jesus, His sheep.
    Mormons are not Christians. They put their religion first and Jesus last.
    Mormons are Mormon first and Christians second.
    Mormons will always defend their religion because they hold it closer to their heart than they do Jesus and His Gospel.
    Mormons are the most deceived church upon the earth.
    Mormons belong to: The Church Of Joseph Smith of Latter Day Deceived
    The Book Of Mormon is The Most Corrected Book Upon The Earth
    The Book Of Mormon is Another Deception Of The Anti Christ
    The Book Of Mormon is Joseph's Myth
    Christians will always attack religion because it is not of God.
    Mormons will always defend their religion because they are not of God.
    Religious people always need a religion to go through to get to God.
    Christians only need Jesus to get to Him and the Father.
    Any time that a church tells you that you have to go through them to get to God it is usually a cult.
    When Mormons bear testimonies it is more so to convince EACH OTHER that their religion is true than to bear witness or convince non believers.
    Mormons spend so much of their time bearing testimonies on the book of mormon being true and their church being true.
    Christians already know that the bible is true and we know that anyone who follows Jesus are His true church.
    Christians just get on with teaching the gospels and all that is contained within the bible.
    Mormons just continue trying to convince everyone that their book of Mormon is true rather than devoting all their time to teaching anything out of it.
    Jesus leads to salvation.

However, the council had no interest in debating the issues or answering Jeremy's questions; they focused on the antithetical conclusions he came to and sought to discipline him. If a member questions the veracity of church doctrine or its leaders, it's considered apostasy. Church's aren't a democracy, they're a theocracy.

The mind is a tool, and to use it properly we must learn to distinguish our subjective opinions (such as feelings based on unproved assumptions) from objective, quantifiable facts and reliable evidence of such facts, which are real. A testimony is an opinion based on an emotional feeling. It is not truth, nor is it evidence of truth (contrary to what church leaders teach us). Jeremy's quest to find the "truth" of Mormonism was based on the quantitative facts contained in church history (such as institutionalized racism, sexism and bigotry within the church, Joseph Smith's polygamy, pedophilia and polyandry, obvious errors in the Book of Mormon and the scientifically confirmed mistranslation of the book of Abraham, to name a few), not his subjective feelings about the church. Once we understand that our feelings about something are independent of, and are incapable of altering, its true reality, then we can finally begin to see through the "bubble" that distorts the minds of church (and cult) members.
      Only you can decide whether to leave the L.D.S. church, but before you make that decision, please make sure you are thinking clearly because every religion has members who sincerely "believe" in and "love" their belief system as much as you do. We humans are easily deceived.

    This action was not taken against you because you have doubts or because you were asking questions about Church doctrine. I also want you to know that I acknowledge your right to criticize the Church and its doctrines and to try to persuade others to your cause. Our Heavenly Father has given us moral agency to decide how we will live our lives, and cherished free speech rights in this country allow you to openly state your opinions. *But you do not have the right to remain a member of the Church in good standing while openly and publicly trying to convince others that Church teachings are in error*.”
    Church discipline is not designed to be the end of the process, but the beginning of the road back to full fellowship. One who leaves the Church is always welcome to attend weekly worship services and is always welcome to return to Church membership through the grace and Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Atheists are no different when it comes to being a fallen sinner. Who choose to sure-press the Truth of the One & Only, true living, God of the Bible alone. Just Like Bob Dylan said, You got to serve somebody, so either one is a slave of righteousness, that comes from the Biblical Christ, n't the false Christ of Mormonism, or one is a slave to unrighteousness. But one will have to serve somebody & be a loyal servant.
      The only form of Atheism in the Bible is practical atheism” (Shedd, Dogmatic Theology Kindle location 5766). This means that people can live as though there were no God, but none can genuinely lack knowledge of God. Atheism is a practical reality, but not a genuine reality.
      Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power & Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, & their foolish hearts were darkened.

Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

    I find it amusing, this guy pretends to misunderstand why he was at church court. He is there to answer questions not ask them. He wasn't in church court because he was asking questions, he is in probably in church court because of his public actions against the church. He says he never got the answers, it sounds like he didn't like the answers he was provided. He admits in his writing that he already had his answers and wasn't looking for any "answers". His letter is not about questions it is more about "his" statements of beliefs. He says he excommunicated the church... did the church go to his court? Looks like he just got out of a meeting where he got the boot. People like this who have this kind of arrogance are welcome to leave any church. Seems like he didn't like the result of church court, in fact, all the people that were there in the parking lot seemed to know that he was going to leave the church, like it was a staged event. Usually if you want to stay a member of a church you have a more humble attitude than this, on the other hand if you want to bash said church (after court) you prob bring a microphone and give a speech from the back of a pickup truck. It basically probably shows (to those who are judges in your church) that they made the right decision to let you go do your own thing. In other words, they probably slept better last night than you. Cheers.

      +Gov Master Have you read the CES Letter? It's pretty conclusive... they didn't answer because there is no answer to his scholarship. Joseph Smith was a charlatan, a cad, a bounder, a polygamist/polyandrist, a con man, and a fake. The LDS is built on his fakery.

    • @aerexil23
      @aerexil23 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Gov Master You need to read the CES Letter in order to understand what you're quickly writing off. Runnells has been very open in his communication and has made sure to update his questions so that they remain pertinent. He has provided evidence as reasons for the many questions he and many other disenchanted Mormons have and has received no response to his questions. It's very clear you know almost nothing about this case. I suggest you research it further before judging Jeremy or anyone else like him. What's fascinating is that Jeremy's questions have continued to go unanswered by Church leaders, even when all of this attention is drawn to him. If truth does not fear investigation, why would leaders in the "one true church" be so quick to work on removing one of their most inquisitive members?

    • @nunyabuzness2088
      @nunyabuzness2088 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Gov Master What public actions has he done against the church? He wrote a letter about all the conflicting things in the LDS church, church history, and church doctrine. Two years after he wrote the CES Letter, the church started publishing the "essays". The essays confirmed all the things in the CES letter were true. So if everything in the CES Letter is true, why is the church taking him to church court? Aren't members suppose to "seek after truth"? He was even willing to change the CES Letter, if anything written wasn't true. The church tried for a year and half to find something that wasn't true, so they could ex him for spreading lies, but they couldn't find anything.
      The situation is this: the TRUE facts about church doctrine and church history that are published in the CES letter are leading members away. The church can't erase the TRUTH, so they are going after the messenger.

    • @royalpipeline1759
      @royalpipeline1759 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes, I have read the cesletter. Very good questions. But my point is, church court has little to do with having questions. It has to do with working against the church and its leaders. In his videos he says he doesn't believe any of it etc. and he is preaching against the church. He is not apologetic and therefore the church has grounds to question him and release him as a member. I personally like the questions that he brought up. My family talked about all of these topics as a child. We were always questioning things. I respect questions, in fact I love the real life of these men and their tribulations. The history is very full and When studied it really is awesome. The LDS church doesn't mind questions. How something is translated with Gods help, to me it is a fascinating topic. Where are the ruins of the Book of Mormon? These are mysteries right? Just because I can't see the timbers from Noah's ark doesn't mean there was not a flood. Wouldn't you agree? I still need to have faith in that story? Does God help translate with the knowledge a man can grasp? Is it that simple? Yes, the pictures and story of Joe Smith translations look cute, and understandable to a kid. A rock in a hat looks weird right? Lol. Milk before meat? Did Joe prob sit and look at the plates as the pictures depict, sure. Is it a lie? No, I wouldn't go that far. Does marrying men's wives make sense to you and I? Hell No. Do I pretend to understand, no. Will I make excuses, No.... I just don't get it. Did Brigham take most of the heat for polygamy, absolutely! Did Emma tell Joseph the 3rd that his father was not a polygamist? Yea, she did. Were there Popes who were polygamist? Yes. What? Yea, I said yes. Do Muslims and Navajo practice polygamy? Yes, they do. ..... what is going on in this world! Right? Do I think the church has sugar coated stuff? Sure. Does it make sense why? Yea it does to me. I love the history of our church. I find it fascinating. I love that they showed us the seat stones we all have heard about, I love it! Is it hard for some? Yea sure.... Is that why they have not talked details about stones...? Hmm.. Probably. Was Mtn. Meadow Massacre bad? Yes! Yes! Does it mean the Book of Mormon is false, no. Does it mean people can be treacherous? Yes. But, back to church court... if you want to stay a member of any church you probably need to listen to your leaders. If you don't like answers they give... well, deal with it. Seek God in prayer and study. Do good but hiding behind unanswered questions is a weak defense of why you got booted, in my opinion. The questions won't leave. The church isn't going anywhere. And I hope we all grow in the process. Can I feel the holy ghost when I study truths, yes. Do I need to look beyond the mark? I try not to. Have I seen great miracles in my life or while in my church, yes. Can you or anyone make me deny those blessings? No, not going to happen.

      We NEED the questions answered NOW! Not in ten years or 50...or in the next life. *NOW*.
      Maybe you should stop paying tithing (IF you do), and if the bishop asks why you aren't paying, just tell him you'll pay it all in the next life.
      You're in a church that expects you to fill your callings *NOW*!! You're in a church that expects your devotion, your time AND your money *NOW*, not later on "in time".
      Why belong to ANY organization that demands so much, NOW, and isn't willing to perform IT'S SIDE of the bargain...to AT LEAST answer some questions and provide some TRUTH!!

(yes the internet has made it easier and faster) I and millions of other mormons know the answers to these questions, our heavenly Father and Jesus wants us to exercise our free agency, we are to think and check things out for our selves and pray and ask. Jeremy made up his own mind up at what he wanted to understand, he made his choice, the LDS church is not to blame. I even sent Jeremy a letter last year to ask him if he wanted to talk about the history of the LDS church and Joseph Smith, he didn't reply to me. So i rely don't think he wanted any answers, I think he just wanted his 5 minutes of fame and leave.
