Elder Anderson is a false prophet.


Well, perhaps Anderson was talking about spiritual blessings


The so called "Miracle of The Caribbean" turned out to be a big bust. No real blessings at all. It's all just a bunch of malarkey couched in the hidden blessings of spirituality. The whole Mormon religion is a bunch of malarkey.

What about since 1961 when Joseph Fielding Smith declared that man would never go into space let alone make it to the moon? That statement was even made one month after Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin completed his space orbit of the Earth.

The titles Prophet, Seers, and Revelators are more or less honorific and the Brethren should not be faulted for not actually having these abilities. I mean, what if someone was saddled with the title Plenipotentiary and yet was impotent? Stuff like that happens. Must they be ridiculed because they couldn't get it up or see the future?


The honorific title of prophet, seer, and revelator is all they really are but it's not what they claim. They claim to have all the same rights, keys, and powers of the so-called prophets of the scriptures who had visions and prophesied -- hence the written scriptures which today's living prophets love to read and quote:

Doctrine and Covenants 107:92

"Behold, here is wisdom; yea, to be a seer, a revelator, a translator, and a prophet, having all the gifts of God which he bestows upon the head of the church."

It's all a bunch of malarkey.

It just keeps getting worse! Elder Andersen left the saints holding an empty bag. In the meantime, Andersen no doubt is eating, drinking, and enjoying a life of ease as he travels the world like a rock star pretending he's a prophet, seer, and revelator. All this doom and gloom and he didn't see it coming! What kind of prophet is that?

Another major blackout hits Puerto Rico after 2 power plants shut down

Mar 1 2018, 11:57 am ET

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A blackout hit Puerto Rico's capital and surrounding areas on Thursday after two of the U.S. territory's main power plants shut down as officials warn the power company is struggling to remain operational.

The capital of San Juan was left without power, along with the neighboring municipalities of Caguas, Bayamon and Carolina, company spokeswoman Yohari Molina told The Associated Press. She said crews were working to repair the problem but that wasn't clear how many customers were affected by the outage. More than 970,000 people live in the areas hit by the blackout.

But... but it is in their job titles

Forget the titles. Check the current job descriptions. These guys drive Toyota Avalons, not magic carpets. Even with crowds at Temple Square worshipping them, they either put on their pants one leg at a time or have their nurse dress them.

Shulem wrote:It's the same old story. The General Authority goes to a foreign land and gives the people a song and dance about how special they are and how much the Lord loves his children in this choice part of the vineyard. The General Authority is a shyster and tells the people how much the leaders of the church pray for their wellbeing. Nothing will ever be said about an upcoming hurricane or earthquake. The prophets of Mormonism are blind as bats and wouldn't dare risk actually prophesying like prophets are supposed to do. If they did, they would be exposed as false prophets. The Spirit of Mormonism cannot foresee or know the future. Not even the prophet knows what is going to happen. They just spoon feed the poor members silly stories and pump them up all for the sole purpose of creating more loyalty and future tithe revenues.

That's the bottom line.

Puerto Rico is out of luck. I don't care what promises elder Andersen made to the people. The leaders in Puerto Rico were sold a bill of goods. Andersen is a conman.


You'd think, given where Puerto Rico is and the economic situation is was in, the better bet would be to vaguely prophesy about some unnamed future trials, with a warning to prepare.

It would have been like Hinkley in 2001 warning about tough economic times. Given the typical economic cycle, it was a no-brainer. But how many times after 2008 have you heard how prophetic he was?

And to think that elder Andersen left his apostolic blessings to the people of Puerto Rico when in just months the island would be devastated and left in darkness.

Here we have proof this apostle has zero ability to prophecy and protect the members of the church. He's liar for the Lord -- a false prophet.

Puerto Rico's power outage is now the second-largest blackout on record

Hey, elder Andersen! The Puerto Ricans you recently blessed are back in the DARK, 100%. You blessed those people and gave them a sense of security and then cut and ran. You coward! Go back to the island and apologize to those people for leading them on.

Puerto Rico loses power island-wide for first time since Hurricane Maria hit U.S. territory
