Has anyone in the UK encountered The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ and been introduced to the Book of Jeraneck?

He doesn't much deviate from the Joseph Smith template of bringing forth new scripture.

Wow.. a sure hell of a load of thought has gone into that one!

Is it just me, or does that guy look a bit like Joseph Smith (albeit a bit more well-fed)?

The pink tie and pink shirt has shown me that verily he is not a prophet of God but was a fence sitter due to his color blindness.

Sorry the regal picture of Gill is at the bottom of his blog left frame.

"Affiliate Members agree to support the Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ financially by regular tithing, according to one's conscience........and........ We ask Affiliate Members for a stipend of £9.95 (UK) per month or £120.00 (UK) per year to cover expenses and fund outreach for the Church."

Ok, that's the 'give us your money' box checked then.

"The head of the Church is Matthew P. Gill of Hilton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom. His full title is "Prophet, Seer and Revelator of the Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ." On second reference, "Prophet Matthew Gill."

Anyone in the UK know this nutjob?

I know a member. All mental!

Does this guy have any followers? I'm trying to get together written testimonies of people from other faiths, especially FLDS and groups like this and Nemelka's. Does anyone know of any posted testimonies about this stuff?

I have a document of his testimony of an encounter with Moroni and jaraneck. I can send you an email

is there a way to private message you my email?

It was actually a guy named Raphael not jaraneck. I actually found a link though.

My friends dad joined his church. My friends dad and the founder are mentally unsta
ble lol

I wrote the Book of Soreneck after trying to read the Book of Mormon and nodding off regularly...is it like that?

good one!

And of course a TBM would never admit that JS could be just as huckster-riffic as any of the guys that glommed on to *his* scam.

oh noooooo! The links don't work. Did the youtube videos and website get taken down??

So now, out in jolly ol' England lives Gill the Seer, a modern-day spinner of scripture who carries on the plagiaristical tradition of Rigdon and Cowdery:

"When we are finished reading the things in the book, Jeraneck calls upon us to put them to the test in these words:

127. And if you ask with a full heart being sincere in all your thoughts and you ask with real purpose he will indeed answer your prayer and reveal unto you the truth of this record. (BOJ 18: 125-127)"

Literary pilferage seems ever to thrive.

As Barnum reminds us, the people love to be humbugged... and every minute a sucker is born.

All the links but one provided above have been taken down. I wonder if it is because the origional one and only true scam headquartered in SLC found some copyright violations to threaten with.

Or because the original post is 4 years old.

got me :)

Wow.

This is mind-boggling. From their website:


Many people ask who are you? What are you about? Are you a Mormon? Do you believe in the book of Mormon? Do you believe Joseph smith was a prophet? The answer to all those questions is an astounding YES! We are Mormons, we do believe in the book of Mormon and we believe that Joseph smith was a prophet of god. In fact we believe that he was the first prophet of the church we hold him as our founder and the propagator of the church of Christ.
