Tim Ballard responds to condemnation from his own church 

👿 @work

Something stinks? Sure, a boy with a history of having a "treasure hunting" business he sales to other locals...is visited by an Angel and shown some "gold" plates...translates them by looking at some rocks in a hat...and only his closest friends are allowed to see it...hmmm, yeah, stinky for sure. This other dude has his own employees reporting that he has "a pattern of distorting and exaggerating their international rescues and their role in domestic law enforcement operations". Hmmm, never known a business to "market" themselves that way? As far as causes go, one would be hard pressed to look down at it, yet I do see peoples affinity to the spectacular and grandiosity i.e. showing everyone a plate of food you ate? Pictures with someone that ACTED like someone else? Dangerous stunts? Filming yourself hand poor people money...for views? Social Media is absolutely valuable and connects us quite a bit more, yet it has its trappings and pitfalls. Tim, it seems, got a bit ahead of himself. Stinky? YEAH, what part?

@@markstewart4501 Your misleading diatribe was overkill and a bit foolish in its direction. What "stinks" is clearly that the Church doesn't give official exclusives to "Vice" nor will it ever. It sounds like the "statement" is the LIE. Everyone should wait for the Church to make an ACTUAL official statement, not this shady dishonest-looking/sounding counterfeit "statement."

He's a loser and a liar.

Get Real, Get Truthful!

You think you are funny?

@@noeoleole6911 You don't know that the LDS "church" hides and protects pedophiles?????

Yeah, they are SO manipulative!! What's their deal??!

He's unhinged lol. Gotta love it

Yeah this video’s editing kinda sucks. They did release the whole video version though.

I also like how they edited him say "I am the bad guy"

After all that, and I must say that I am not Mormon, but I don't understand what he is accused of doing.

Morons 30,000 kids saved lds suks and lies why

Apparently used the name of the old codger Paster Barrett lol Tim wouldn't even need it but if the Church thinks they have some power to stop him doing something in politics maybe that's it?But have you seen the old bloke he's barley cognitive "is he being used"for someone else's agenda? @@johncmiles1

The clip is out there. I watched it before I ran into this.

@@fawnjenkins7266 That is just one example, one video, and he's right, it has been edited. Just how many people will find the whole thing compared to those that watch the slanted version, then go on their way not knowing how low-info and distortion-manipulated they are? The main point still stands.

Being the most giving organization in the history of the world is them committing atrocities? Yeah make sense do some research and see where most aid comes from in times of hardship and natural disasters

😂😂😂😂😂 do you just realize what you just said.

@@DigitalMediaPatriots I don't, so explain.

Looks like it's the church too.

Hahahaha

They did remove all material pertaining to Tim from their website

I don't understand anything. Yes, we do need some clear information and light on the matter. I hope they don't stay silent and do something, because this is ridiculous.

We don't need anything more from the church. They said what they said, and it was official. You can go look at the documents from the davis county investigation for yourself. They are insane. Tim Ballard is not who we want representing us.

You obviously need to begin thinking for yourselves and get out from under the Mormon thumb!"

They also sent the statement to several news organizations, there are several witnesses that seem to refute his claim, just like several women made similar, separate accusations. Also, he has been name dropping to further his own business…

😅Funny, but disturbingly true.

It is Trump

What you're smelling is your own cognitive dissonance.

@@BurgundyKRO I'm fairly sure it's Stank.

It's Vice news that you smell. And yeah, they stink bad 🦨

It’s all the special K TB is huffin on

🤣😂🤣 Thanks. I needed that.

Amen!

You support evil

He's down n out. Love it

Exactly what I said!

TB does ketamine for revelation wanna join his team?

@@keki8388 there is nothing wrong with K. BTW anyone who is a mormon or believed Joseph Smith has no place to judge anyone. They are in a cult and worship satan and don't even know it.

Nail on the head

Exactly what I said!

Hes a fraud lol

@@Brink33 So are You.

They put the letter on their website. Several other media outlets also got the letter. This is normal reporting.

Yeah, sounds so made up because it is!

@@clintberry6810do you have a link? Because I can’t find it anywhere.

That's honesty. TB is 100% dishonest.

Duh, bingo! Are you serious? Check out Satanic ritual abuse and what used to go on inside the ceremonies in the marriage at the temple. Quote if you mention any word of this ceremony you shall be split and cut from ear-to-ear your belly's played open, this is verbally mentioned while your genitals were Anointed with oil...

More than likely

​@@jospenner9503he's risked his own life over the years and you accuse him. Open your eyes and mind. There can only be one reason that they want to shut him down and stop him from destroying one of the most lucrative "business models" on earth 🤑🤑🤑

🎯

Who knows, the church will set it straight though.

​@@jakejakeman4591 Whatever they say is gospel. No need to do any research.

@@thefullgamutofShit Even if they get it "wrong", don't question them, is that what you're saying???

@@samsmom400 It's sarcasm. Hopefully hearing what they believe helps them realize how ridiculous it is.

@@thefullgamutofShit I totally got what you were saying. And the Mormon leaders have told their brainwashed cult members that "Even if they get it wrong, don't question them." I forget which of the fearless leaders said that, I was too dumbfounded to take note.

Please define church? Just like this article just because you say something doesn’t make it true

Yep! I grew up in the church for many years and saw how corrupt it was. I hope people wake up to the fact that it’s just as corrupt as the Catholic Church. LDS Church was already in hot water over their funds and how they have been stuffing money away and hiding it illegally.

Who said it was all BS? Did Tim say that? Or are you taking it there? There are imperfect people in every group, organization, and church.

What are you talking about dude?

Agreed. I gave money to this organization and all the things coming out are terrible. The documents from the davis county investigation are insane. Hiring a fortune teller to talk to Nephi and find kids? Groping prostitutes to "play the part" well so no one thinks they are cops? And now multiple allegations of women being groomed by Tim Ballard? This is terrible. No wonder the LDS church wants to distance themselves.

He is just another man with his own desires and the same flesh and with his own occult life. Like a lot of priests, pastors, etc.

From what i have read there have been complaints about his conduct from his employees which led to him stepping down from the organization. There were also inconsistencies in his claims and over exaggeration of what he accomplished with his anti human trafficking. And he blames leftist media for protecting the human traffickers. He seems a bit unhinged so hes perfect to be our next senator. Although he needs to up his game if he wants to compete with Mike Lee.

​@margaritoamargo6347 well said!

I read on some link earlier today that Tim thought he was the next “ messiah” for the LDS church and that’s why the LDS publicly denounced him.

He had pedophiles in his network and he was profiting personally off made up rescues.

@@rosealexander9007 No, your read that someone said that about him. Not him ever making that claim.

They always are.

@@Jon-vi3cr It is absolutely true. The guy was a serial philanderer and had up to 40 wives including one that was 14.

@@Jon-vi3cr Me thinks you are a liar.

HAAHAHA

Having "shell" companies and billions and billions of dollars and still calling yourself a "church" is even more scary.

The Vatican is its own country.

It’s been his religion and faith and so I think he can’t believe it possible.

@@glee_again2594 If he can uncover child trafficking, he certainly has the tools to expose the corruption of the LDS "church".

Mormon still, and based on this journalism nothing can be understood here. From some other comments they had said Tim has and was overstating success and was using his company as a means to defraud...? Employees mistreated and had Tim step down from running the company. The church letter then followed is my understanding. But I can't gather any of that from this clip.

Check out Faithful Word in Tempe, AZ

The editing is misleading as well.

Yep, the intentions of Fox News is the only clear thing to me here.

Yet on October 2 his wife makes a public PR statement saying they are indeed working through church disciplinary councils … 🤔

@@mamame3729 Where is that, could you share it where you hear her saying that please?

HAHAHA

Amen

Dear Lord, please reveal who the real pedophiles are, protect the children, and please strike down all men in suits who are "playing Jesus" while raping children.

I TOTALLY agree, you just spoke my mind completely. Nothing else to add.

Go read the Davis County investigation documents. The stuff is crazy. That is the truth. The church 100% sent this out. And they are right. Ballard grooming women, ballard lying about his operations, and ballard using some medium talking to Nephi to locate children? This is insane. The truth is already apparent. This guy is not normal, and we don't want him representing us in Utah.

I agree too.

Maybe he's revealing what's been going on in those temples all over the world and they are scared?

Let's assume your friend said something about your and her relationship. I want you to discuss what she said but you can't reference her or your relationship with her. I think it would be difficult for you to do so. Especially if it's off-the-cuff, like Tim Ballard's scenario in this video.

The Mormon Corporation always tries to distance themselves when "truths" come out.

The church is involved in child trafficking. They did it to two little girls in my family. They cover it up with threats and harassment, and even have murdered for the power and money they get from this blackmail pyramid scheme.

The statement first came out through vice, with no credibility or reference to a spokesman name. And at that point I thought, “something doesn’t add up.” Basically it caught fire all day yesterday, but this video with the email screenshot wasn’t posted til late last night when it was originally posted. They had to re-upload it though this morning. This video brings a whole new version of, “what, did I hear the right?!”

the credibility comes from the fact that the STATEMENT came from a church email address (director of media relations).

@@wasatchm that email may not be legitimate.

Deseret news rereleased the statement saying it did come from the church

It is, dont u no who they r?

Too much money involved.

That press release was sent to ALL the news organizations are verified by ALL the news organizations independently….

Tim was excommunicated in Jan. or Feb...No one said it was not done according our guidelines.If you don't show up to the interview and refuse to discuss and explain yourself, then you can be ex -communicated

@@Wanting.is.Suffering Blessin in disguise 4 him.

He is, but he didn't do what they are accusing him of, and using the Church he loves/respects to do that, is in the very low level of personal attack. No wonders he gets emotional, it's sad. I hope this all clears up because the Church usually doesn't do official statements like that. It's REALLY weird and needs to be cleared up.

Deluded?

Did they know she had Alzheimer’s? Did you talked with someone above them? Had any legal document saying if that was her will? Directives aren’t just for when we die, we can have legal documents with instructions about how we want to be treated if we have a disease like dementia and how we want our money handled. Of course if she was paying more than once a month then that’s probably not her will but just forgetfulness. But considering that once the person handling the money don’t know how much she makes, then they also don’t know how much she should be giving. If you don’t talk with them they will think that that’s her will and they won’t to ask because is a personal matter.

Bullsh!t

Corruption

I'm shocked

@@rebecaanderson1935 Will you take a brain transfusion?

🎯

Yes! He also name drops some names in the LDS Church and talks about his stake president... all things that most Mormons have positive relationships with .. and then he also mentions that he was going to run for office.... It's all a little sus. And it's ok to want due prices to a person who is a member of the church.. Doesn't mean the media is against him. If he's guilty he's guilty, if not.. then he's not.

What even happened?

The record is straight. Tim Ballard is doing immoral things. Using the church to get gain.

@@clintberry6810 He probably learned that from the guys at the top.

The leaders have the "Second Anointing" how do you explain that?

Stay CROOKED Tim.

Hang in there Timmy B, these people are unbelievably gullible you got this✊🏼

@@Makeusqueak 👈CROOKED Troll

Do you have a link to that?

well, if they have an email coming direction from a church email address (director of media relations), thats pretty darn close to an official church statement.

@@wasatchmWad it legitimate? If so, why nothing on the official church news website? Why leak that to only one outlet? And it only one outlet, why one that has been hostile to the church in the past?

Not really. What's uncomfortable is how tim ballard has made people believe "the all powerful pro-trafficking politicians" are out to take him down, when it's literally all allegations from people who have worked with him in OUR. Stop being duped.

What statements did he make?

​@@jakejakeman4591That's what I'm trying to find out, where is the proof of whatever statement they're using to attack him now? Whoever is behind it.

These are lies to destroy Tim Ballard. Hang in there, Tim!

guess you didn't watch til the end where they say the unedited full video is on the front page of their website 🙈

They made an official statement..Tim Ballard, abused President Ballard's TRUST. NOT ROCKET SCIENCE

@@kaypricooted I guess I didn't, can you share it with me maybe? I don't seem to find it.

What happened?!?

Yeah it kinda would do well to clear up. I hope it is all straightened out soon .

Have you ever read the Doctrine and Covenants?

What even happened? Where is the letter for us to read and context?

Well especially without privately confronting the individual. His stake pres or bishop doesn't even know why? It seems like Doug Anderson might have some personal beef with Timmy. The church should clear this up because it's confusing and if it's not true then Doug needs to step down or be fired.

​@@erinseamons Totally.

Actually, it’s had a schism the whole time. Lots of current religious communities that came from the Latter Day Saint church. Now, could we see a more modern schism that splits the current church in half? It’s possible. Other churches have felt with this in recent years.

@@jasonschlierman412 I’m not speaking to non affiliated groups that use the Book of Mormon as source text for their views. I’m speaking more to the younger generation who looks to church leadership and feels less in tune with the direction of the church each passing day. Covid accelerated this but I feel like it’s been brewing for a while.

I became a little disillusioned after Elder Allen D Haynie’s talk about living profits this last conference

@@glennfigueroa5331What did he say that made you disillusioned?

@@glennfigueroa5331Never mind, I just listened to what he said. Easy to see why it made you disillusioned.
