It looks beautiful from the outside, but when you peel off the mask and talk to the victims,
you uncover another part of the story.
The documented evidence you're about to see may seem unbelievable, but it's all true.
When they took my family, there wasn't anything else to live for.
I tried to kill myself.
Thank God I didn't succeed.
I think the most difficult part of this for me is that they've turned my own beautiful
children against me.
You know, the brainwashing techniques of this organization are really incredibly effective.
On behalf of a growing number of victims, Ed Decker, together with Dick Baer themselves,
victims of this powerful organization, consulted with a Los Angeles-based law firm about filing
a class action lawsuit.
Mr. Baer, Mr. Decker, just what are we dealing with here?
We're dealing with a massive organization, a multi-billion dollar corporation whose wealth
is worldwide and whose influence is staggering.
I've got records of many, many homes that have been shattered by these people.
I consider it to be one of the most deceptive and most dangerous groups in the entire world.
I have documentation that ties it into the occult, into Satanism.
Mr. Decker, I don't doubt your sincerity, but I find this very hard to believe.
I mean, these people pride themselves in a sense of family togetherness and a very conspicuous
form of moral rectitude.
It's part of the incredible deception, and that's what we have to dig into, and we need
to expose it.
We need to open it up to the truth.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Mecca of Mormonism.
One of the wealthiest and fastest-growing religions with over 5 million members worldwide.
To the outside world, the Mormon Church presents a carefully groomed, osmond family image.
With an emphasis on family togetherness and inspiring history and high moral standards,
the Mormon Church, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or LDS,
turns out tens of thousands of missionaries a year whose goals are to spread Mormonism
around the world.
Most of them are trained here at Brigham Young University, also known as BYU.
To most of us, Mormons appear to be real Christians who live their faith.
Dr. Harold Goodman, BYU professor, former Mormon bishop, currently an LDS mission president.
Well, the Church encourages the family to be as self-sustaining as possible in their
activities, starting with the family home evening, where the father, who is the patriarch
of the family, would gather his family together, and there they would have a prayer, an opening
song or two.
I looked out the window and what did I see.
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree.
We are very much a family-centered church because we believe that strong families make
for a strong nation and strong nations make for a strong world.
The Mormon Church has had a phenomenal growth.
In the next 50 years, it will be approximated about 70 million people to 100 million people.
There are many reasons why this is so.
One is the vast missionary program we have over the world.
Approximately right now, 28,000 missionaries and 186 missions.
Thousands of early church members were recruited from Britain and brought over to supplement
the Church in America during the 1830s.
Mr. Brian Grant is the director of public relations for the Mormon Church in Great Britain
and Ireland, where membership has increased a thousand percent in the last 20 years.
I suppose everybody's idea of a Mormon missionary, those two dark young men who sort of ride
around the town on bikes, knock on your door at an inopportune times.
In actual fact, we have an increasing number of young women serving in the missionary field
and also quite a lot of retired couples free of family responsibilities who feel that they
too want to share the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
So many people have joined the Church, I believe, because of the gospel principles
that it gives understanding and enlightenment of who they are and who they were and what
they may become.
Jim and I came from very strong Christian families.
We were introduced to Mormonism through a business partner, Jim's.
I had always had this preconceived idea that a Mormon was somebody who went around dressed
in black and had 16 wives, which was not true, of course.
These people seem to be Christian.
Any people that I had ever been around that were Christian, they had these same attributes.
Just kind, good, loving people, family oriented, all the things they did revolved around their
religion.
People of the Mormon Church, they were all so friendly and they took me in by dances and
all the different kids at school, they were all pushing me on saying, I'm so glad you're
going to join the Mormon Church.
They got me into the Church through their social program, which is fabulous, and the
family atmosphere, which was, mine was broken up, therefore I went right to it.
The youth certainly are the strength of the Church in the future, consequently, we hold
classes for the youth on Sunday.
We have athletic events for our youth, we have socials, where they would have fun games,
and dances.
Many of the social events, as well as regular church services, are held in the chapels which
are being built at a rate of two per day around the world.
However, the few dozen Mormon temples serve a completely different purpose.
No church services are held here.
Only secret ceremonies which are reserved for an elite few.
The goal of every Latter-day Saint is to be married as a family unit in the house of
the Lord, and there receive these sacred blessings that will allow us to eventually, if we're
worthy, to dwell and be in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
You know, not all members of the Church go to the temple, that may be something that
would surprise you, but to gain admittance to the temple, one has to have what's called
a temple recommend.
He has to receive a satisfactory interview from his bishop and from his state president.
There he's asked, or she has asked, certain rather penetrating questions about their
worthiness, their morality.
If he's a full tithe peer, that is the only way that we can be with our Heavenly Father.
Otherwise, we could not be in his presence.
By going through the temple and by adhering to various regulations, such as abstaining
from tea or coffee, paying a substantial portion of your income to the Mormon Church, and giving
free labor to various church-run organizations, the worthy Mormon can become a God himself
in the life hereafter, ruling over his own planet with a number of goddess wives.
So you can see why the temple is so important to the Latter-day Saint, because if he is
worthy to go on to the temple, and there receive the sacred ordinances and covenants
and keep them, he can eventually grow into becoming a God himself.
Before this newly completed temple in Seattle was closed to all but a select group of Mormons,
visitors were given the opportunity to get a glimpse inside.
For many of these Mormons who came from thousands of miles away and stood for hours in the rain,
this may be the only time they will ever be allowed to enter a Mormon temple.
Tell me who God the Father is to you.
He is like you and I, every human being on the face of the earth.
So is he a man?
Yes, he is.
How did he get to be God?
He is.
Yeah, he is perfect in every way.
So if we are perfect, can we become like God?
Yes ma'am.
You know, the Mormon gods and goddesses, as Joseph Smith taught, were once upon a time
just mere humans, just like us, and they worked their way up to becoming gods.
There are supposed to be billions of these highly evolved humanoids somewhere out in space
overseeing their own planet.
This sounds like science fiction or Greek mythology.
Would you say that the average Mormon believes these things?
Absolutely.
Mm-hmm.
Floyd C. McKelvin, author of the bestseller, The Mormon Illusion.
They believe that God eternally progressed, that once he was a man and then he became God,
from that comes their doctrine that all can progress to be gods.
For instance, in Articles of Faith, they have this by Talmadge, that as man is, God wants
wath, as God is, man may become.
So their whole doctrine flows from this about becoming gods.
Brothers and goddesses just won't fly in the jury or a gentleman, a jury feel a responsibility
to be skeptical.
You need to feed them information that has a taste of truth to it.
And what you're telling us, I really don't think they're going to swallow it, do you?
I did for 19 years.
Again, you have to understand the peculiar belief evolving around the Mormon temple marriage.
They believe that their Godhood is tied to eternal exaltations through the marriage
and through the family unit.
The Mormon church teaches that in order for me to become a goddess, I needed to marry
a Mormon man in good standings with the church.
And without a husband that could take me through the temple, I wouldn't be able to go to heaven
and be with my Heavenly Father.
According to Mormon theology, husbands and wives who have successfully achieved Godhood
would be required to populate their own planet by procreating as many spirit children as possible.
Ever since I was a little girl, I was taught that my primary purpose was to become a goddess
in heaven so that I could multiply and earth.
And I wanted that.
I wanted to be eternally pregnant and look down on earth and say, that's mine and I populated
that whole earth and all those little babies I had.
To tell you the truth, I find it extremely difficult to believe that the Mormon attorneys
and judges I know actually expect to become infinite gods, people in new worlds and engaging
in celestial sex with their goddess wives.
Why don't you ask them?
Well, I would be embarrassed to be honest with you.
And if it's true, as you've suggested, that these people do plan to reproduce themselves
across the universe, well, I'd rather not know about it.
We do business with these gentlemen.
That's why it's such a secret.
That's why even the Mormons don't talk about it.
They're embarrassed by it, too.
Look, Mormonism is based upon the belief that extraterrestrial humanoids from a star in
a distant place called Kolob visited this earth, came down to this earth and visited
a young boy, 14 year old boy by the name of Joseph Smith.
We had a little animation done to show the difference between Mormonism and Christianity
because Mormonism is so far removed from Orthodox Christianity.
I'd like to show it to you for a moment if you don't mind.
Mormonism teaches the trillions of planets scattered throughout the cosmos are ruled
by countless gods who once were human like us.
They say that long ago on one of these planets, to an unidentified god in one of his goddess
wives, a spirit child named Elohim was conceived.
This spirit child was later born to human parents who gave him a physical body.
Through obedience to Mormon teaching and death and resurrection, he proved himself worthy
and was elevated to godhood as his father before him.
Mormons believe that Elohim is their heavenly father and that he lives with his many goddess
wives on a planet near a mysterious star called Kolob.
Here the god of Mormonism and his wives through endless celestial sex produced billions of
spirit children.
To decide their destiny, the head of the Mormon gods called a great heavenly council meeting.
Both of Elohim's eldest sons were there, Lucifer and his brother Jesus.
A plan was presented to build planet earth where the spirit children would be sent to
take on mortal bodies and learn good from evil.
Lucifer stood and made his bid for becoming savior of this new world.
Warning the glory for himself, he planned to force everyone to become gods.
Opposing the idea, the Mormon Jesus suggested giving man his freedom of choice as on other
planets.
The vote that followed approved the proposal of the Mormon Jesus who had become savior of
the planet earth.
Enraged, Lucifer cunningly convinced one-third of the spirits destined for earth to fight
with him and revolt.
Thus Lucifer became the devil and his followers the demons.
Sent to this world, they would forever be denied bodies of flesh and bone.
Those who remain neutral in the battle were cursed to be born with black skin.
This is the Mormon explanation for the Negro race.
The spirits that fought most valiantly against Lucifer would be born into Mormon families
on planet earth.
These would be the lighter skinned people, or white and delights them, as the Book of
Mormon describes them.
Early Mormon prophets taught that Elohim and one of his goddess wives came to earth as
Adam and Eve to start the human race.
Thousands of years later, Elohim and human form once again journeyed to earth from the
star-based colon, this time to have sex with the Virgin Mary, in order to provide Jesus
with a physical body.
Mormon Apostle Orson Pratt taught that after Jesus Christ grew to manhood, he took at least
three wives, Mary, Martha and Mary Magdalene.
Through these wives, the Mormon Jesus, for whom Joseph Smith claimed direct descent, supposedly
fathered a number of children before he was crucified.
According to the Book of Mormon, after his resurrection, Jesus came to the Americas to
preach to the Indians, who the Mormons believe are really Israelites.
Perhaps the Jesus of Mormonism established his church in the Americas as he had in Palestine.
By the year 421 A.D., the dark-skinned Indian Israelites, known as Lamanites, had destroyed
all of the white Nephites in a number of great battles.
The Nephite records were supposedly written on golden plates and buried by Morona, the
last living Nephite in the hill Camora.
