Brethrenites Not Welcome!

Brethrenites Not Welcome:

If you are a Brethrenite and sustain the LDS Church General Authorities, then go away. You are not welcome here. Go read some other message. There are plenty of others to select from. We have got some very important things to cover here, and we don't need you.

It took Enoch 365 years to establish Zion and make it ready for translation into Heaven. Enoch lived longer than what we tend to live nowadays. What do you get if you add 365 to 1830? You get 2195. Think about it for awhile and relax. There's plenty of time.

In fact, if history and timing end up repeating themselves, there would be plenty of time for Denver Snuffer and the Snufferites to form a new church, the Re-restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and have it ready to present to Christ when He comes again in glory. The Re-restored LDS Church (it has a ring to it) would be a church comprised of people like Denver Snuffer and his followers there on LDS Freedom Forum, people who dislike, despise, reject, refuse to trust, refuse to sustain, or even hate the Brethren of the LDS Church. Brethrenites need not apply! Brethrenites are not welcome!

The Re-restored LDS Church would be made up of all the people who refuse to sustain or accept the LDS General Authorities. All the people who have been excommunicated from the LDS Church for “evil speaking against the Lord's Anointed” or for “criticizing the Brethren” or for “writing a truthful, hard-ball, hard-hitting, intellectual, anti-Brethren book” would also be welcomed into the Re-restored LDS Church where we can spend our time listing and cataloging all the instances where the LDS General Authorities failed us, or got it wrong, or failed Christ, or failed to keep Joseph Smith's original Gospel clean and pure. All the people who want Denver Snuffer as their prophet and as the President of their church would be eagerly welcomed into the Re-restored LDS Church and given a place of prominence. We want the ones who can see sense, after all! All those stupid Brethrenites need not apply, because they will simply ruin it.

For the Snufferites, books like “Passing the Heavenly Gift” would become our scriptures – books that tell us how it really is! No more watered down or selective histories like the ones found in the Bible and the Book of Mormon and the LDS Church! The Snufferites will finally get it all out on the table for the whole world to see, no matter how mean or ugly it might be. Finally! Progress! Sounds wonderful, doesn't it! Praise God! We can only hope.

The Re-restored LDS Church and the Snufferites would become a safe haven for anyone who has issues with authority. These would be people who are unable to take criticism, counsel, or guidance from Authority Figures of any kind; they would all be welcomed into the Re-restored LDS Church. The Re-restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would finally be a home and a family for the people like me, who have humility issues and have a sense of pride and some common sense that we must maintain.

The idiotic Brethrenites will not be welcome, because they are a bunch of limp-rag sheep, and sheep need not apply. Sheep are smelly, and they have no sense of polish or finesse. They always have to be told what to do, and all they do is simply follow orders and obey. Sheep are boring. We don't want sheep! The Snufferites want wolves and lions and intellectuals in their Church, not sheep. The Re-restored LDS Church wants Generals and Lawyers and Professors, not poets or “fishers of men” or sheep or followers. Fishermen and poets and followers are boring after all. All they do is talk, and they never get anything done. The Snufferites want predators like Lawyers and Generals and Tenured Professors and Book Writers, people who will finally get things done! We want mavericks like Denver Snuffer who will tell us how it really is and do it their way. We want people who can say in the end, “I did it my way!” We want people who have a sense of pride about what they are doing. That's what we want. Brethrenite sheep are not welcome!

The Re-restored LDS Church will do it right this time around. We will each have a vote on how the money of the organization is supposed to be spent. We will each have a vote on the policies of the Kingdom and the commandments of the Kingdom. We will turn the Kingdom of God into a Democracy like it should have been in the first place. We will vote Denver in as our President. We will each get a vote and a say in the matter, and we will vote upon what the History of the LDS Church should have been and what the History of the Re-restored LDS Church should be. We can vote and give the women the priesthood and give the gays marriage, like what should have happened long ago. The majority rules, because the majority is never wrong; it says so in the scriptures. We can vote and decide once and for all what comprises “The Heavenly Gift”. We will each get a vote, and we will be able to vote and decide conclusively which of Denver Snuffer's revelations came from God and which ones did not. That's the way everyone else does it, and it turns out just fine! Why shouldn't we do the same?

Finally, the majority rules! Finally, we will have a Zion society. We will vote it into existence! That's the way it should have been from the very beginning. The Snufferites would get rid of all the boring, decrepit, geriatric, senile bunch and vote in some young and dynamic people into the leadership positions instead, people who will get things done and spend the money wisely. Oh, wait, bag that! Table that! We don't need leaders! We will simply all get together in conference and vote upon how the money should be spent. That's the way it should be done after all. Any time that financial decisions and spending decisions need to be made, we'll have a vote! We can simply vote on the day that Christ should come again in glory, and by the law of common consent, Christ will be obligated to follow and obey. Then we in the Re-restored LDS Church can make sure that we have everything ready, re-organized, re-restored, and in place before Christ comes and burns the wicked and the unbelievers and the sheep into cinders. Those sheep won't be lukewarm followers any more! If we need another thousand years, we can simply vote on it and we will have another thousand years to prepare. The majority rules! Finally!

Leaders? We don't need leaders! We can simply hold a vote and decide how it is going to be. Finally, we will have it our way! I'm getting excited about the prospects! I'm starting to repeat myself – that's what happens when I get excited. The Snufferites would be a welcome home for all the people like me, who criticize or dislike or disdain the Brethrenites and the LDS General Authorities. It would thrive, and its numbers would grow like mad. I think that up to a third of the Latter-day Saints (all the disaffected and the disgruntled) would be eager to join such a Re-restored LDS Church. It would be a paradise for us. It would be a home for us. It would be Zion! We would finally get a vote and a say on how things should really be. We would each get a vote on what the lesson plans should be and what the official teachings and scriptures should be. We will vote on how much of our income and time we should donate to the cause. We will vote and decide conclusively what is true and what is false! We will vote on who we want to keep and who we want to get rid of.

Finally! We could get rid of all the sheep and Brethrenites. We could sit around all day complaining about how the LDS General Authorities got it wrong, and failed Christ or failed Joseph Smith, and failed to establish Zion. We could write whole books listing all the different ways that the LDS Brethren failed the Lord, or failed Joseph Smith, or failed us. We could murmur and complain our way into Heaven. We could make catalogs and lists of all the different things that the LDS Brethren should have done and all the things that the Snufferites need to do in order to please the Lord and get it right this time around. Then we can vote on it and select the best ideas, trusting that everyone will logically fall in line once the best ideas have been voted into place. It's holy, pure, just, and right! Hallelujah!

All the suffragists and suffer-ites could get together with the Snufferites, and we would finally have heaven on earth! It would be beautiful; and then, Denver could stop paying for all of those speaking engagements out of his own pocket, which seems to annoy him. This time around, Denver Snuffer will make sure that it's done right – guaranteed, or you get your money back. Yes indeed! Now, all we have to do is wait for the revelation to come, and then Denver and his chosen lieutenants will make sure that it is done right this time around. We will have Zion. It will be perfect!

There's only one problem that I foresee. How long do you think Denver Snuffer will be able to hold it together, before we all turn against him and eat him alive? Anyone willing to make a bet? We Snufferites are the people who have problems with authority, after all. “We the people” are the people who don't trust Authority Figures, or the Brethren, or Prophets, or Monarchs and Kings. We only trust the dead prophets! The only good prophet is a dead prophet! With a dead prophet, we can hold a vote and re-interpret his words and teachings to mean anything that we want them to mean. So, how long will we consider Denver Snuffer to be an Authority Figure and a Prophet, before we realize that there are better ways to do things and start to think that we should be in charge instead? How long until Denver gives us a commandment from the Lord that we simply refuse to accept and obey? How long until Denver slips up and fails to tell us exactly what we want to hear? How long until we realize that we can do it better? How long will it take for Denver's message to get old and boring, and we decide to vote for someone else to take his place? How long until Denver Snuffer is forced to pull rank and then some of us, his followers, decide that we simply want to kill him and take his place instead?

Another problem that I foresee is that Denver isn't going to live 430 years, so he is going to have to pick someone he trusts to carry on his work after he is dead. Good luck with that. Otherwise, it will be Heaven on earth; and, we will finally have Zion at last! We will finally have peace!

Oh, one last thing. Brethrenites, and sheep, and LDS General Authorities are not welcome! Go away and leave us alone! We can do this on our own. We don't need you! You'll only get in the way!
