12:53 a.m. Naomie's Testimony ofWhat
Happened Through the Night
We arrived herejust before 7:00p.m. last night.
You visited with your younger ladies for a fewminutes and then you dictated. Before your
dictation, even before we got here, I could eel the
heavenly powers come upon you. You went into
your heavenly session very quickly as you ended
your dictation. You went into a very severe
trembling. I couldfeel such a power flowingfrom
you, an overpowering burning, knowing that you
are in the Lord's hands and He knows what He is
doing with you
You were conscious until 9:15 p.m., going
through a very severe session from 8:30 p.m. until
9: 15 p. m. in your conscious state. It continued in
your unconscious state. At 9: 15 p.m. your body
jolted and trembled. It was during that time that
you went unconscious. You were taken away, not
physically, but you were taken away. Your spirit
left your body until 9:45 p.m. You groaned and
sighed and said, "Gh, my. Gh, my. What is
happening? What is happening to me?" Before
you went totally unconscious, right around 9:00o 'clpck n m )'QU told me to go tell Nenhj to go tqlkl'
1to Uncle Wendell and Uncle Fred and tell them
that the Lord had you in charge and you were not
able to meet with them right them, to wait for
further instructions from you, that you needed
their prayers.
At 9:45p.m. your body olted. You groaned and
sighed again. You said, "Gh, my. Gh, my. What is
happening to me? Everything in me is going to
dissolve. Ifeel so weak, so much like everything in
me is being torn apart." You said, "I don't know
what the Lord will have me do, whether He willhave me go to this Work Meeting, or if will just
call in His message. Whether I give it this weekend
or next weekend, I do not know -- not only a
correction for this people, those who do not hold
Priesthood, He has a message He wants me to give
this whole nation." You groaned and sighed and
said, "I will go His pace on it. I will go His pace. "
Your body trembled very severely again.
At 9:50 p.m. you twisted and turned. It didn'
last real long, but it was very severe. You said, "
still feel, whether I go to Short Creek earlier o
later, I have a training to give to those Canadian
men and also some weddings to perform." Then
you named Kathie Holm will be going to Moron
Steed. Theil Cooke Jr. would receive Hilary Holm
Berklee Holm's daughter; that Richard Jessop
Clyde Jessop's son, would receive WinfordBarlow's daughter Priscilla. You said that you
would be taking care ofWendell Jeffs. You didn'
name a name, who would go to him. You saidyou
also have a place for Faith Jessop. You didn'
name a name for her either.
Your body stopped trembling at 9:55 p.m. You
came to at 10:05 p.m. and asked what had been
happening. It is now ten minutes after 1:00 a.m.
know the Lordwill bless you and show you what to
do. I know He will. I yearn to be a strength.4:21 a.m.
It was 1: 15 a.m. when Ifinished talking to you
last. You got up out of the chair, still going
through the heavenly session very intensely. You
got into your pajamas and got into the bed, still in
very intense suffering. You gave me some
instructions on how to be more sensitive and
careful, which I am so grateful for, because I know
that trust is everything. I know the Lord revealaur heartS' to ))oy You said HAqv light-minded
moment affects our relationship very greatly. "
You said you wanted me to be more prayerful when
I took care of hese recorders, that I was not being
sensitive and that is why it [some files] was lost.
You said, "Trust is everything, my dear. "
You were conscious until 2:00 a.m. You got in
the bed at 2:000 'clock a. m. You went unconsciou
at 2: 15 a.m. You didn't start saying anything unti
probably 2:40 a.m. I couldfeel the power ofyou
Priesthood and how sensitive you are and I realiz
I must be that sensitive. I kept feeling impressed topray harderfor you, with more fervency, realizing
that if do not be fervent, it is treating you lightly
and Heavenly Father lightly. I kept feeling
impressed to pray that the Lord would show you
what He wanted you to do concerning the
meetings, the marriages.
At 2:40 a.m. you sat up on your elbows and you
said, "What is happening? The Lord sure i

keeping me away from that meeting. He knows
what He wants. He is showing me there is a
conspiracy greater than I realize, but He knows.
We will be surprised who is involved in it. You will
be surprised. Ron Rohbock, Richard Holm,
Winston Blackmore are sons ofperdition. They
are the greatest enemies to this work right now,
especially Ron. The Lord has shown me he is my
traitor and that he will yet consider it the Lord'swill to take my life." You groaned and laid back
down and said, "Would to God they would just
repent, for I seek only their salvation and their
eternal happiness if hey would ust repent. If hey
would only realize I am there greatest friend on
earth, the Lord is through me." You groaned
again and said, "Be that as it may, the Lord's will
be done. Whatever He requires ofme. "
At 3:00 0 'clock a.m. you sat up on your elbows
again and said, "What is happening? What ishappening?" You said, "Gh, it is going to be so
terrible. It will be the greatest destruction that has
ever taken place upon this earth, upon this nation.
The ungodly among us will hunt me. They will
come after me in great force, with all the powers of
hell combined. They will use every stratagem. It
will take constant prayer and revelation to keep me
out of heir hands and keep these people protected
in these places of refuge. We must be more
fervent." You groaned and sighed and said, "Gh,
wlleh will ihe eullh reSt? There is so mUthcorruption, so much wickedness. It is groaning
beneath us, trembling with pain, and I feel that
pain, that suffering the earth is going through. "
I could feel father's presence here so strong. I
know there are others. I know the Prophet Joseph
is so close to you, guiding you, telling you how to
redeem Zion. The Lord speaks to you daily,
momently. You live in a constant dedication,
constant revelation.
At 3: 15 a.m. you laid back down. Your bodytrembled, not that severe trembling, but it trembled
to where your back bowed out of he bed. You said,
"Gh, my. Gh, my. What is happening to me? I
rejoice in the change, this purification. Whatever
it takes, I am willing to go through it. "
At 3:25 a.m. you said, "I won't be going to that
meeting. There is too many people there seeking
my life. The Lord is showing me I will not be safe
at that meeting. I will go His pace on the
marriages and this meeting with the Canadians.
There is something I am supposed to do first.
Whatever it is, I will do it, the Lord helping me. "
You said you would not be giving Faith to
Arthur Barlow, she would be going to Jacob
Johnson, LaMar Johnson's son. At 3:45 a.m. you
sat up on your elbow again and said, "What is
happening? What is happening?" You said, "Is
there anything to report?" And I said, "Yes." You
laid back down and said, "I am worthless."
Warren you are not worthless. You are everything.
I know the Lord works through you.
You went back unconscious right after that and
at 3:50a.m. you said, "Gh, my. Gh, my. Whatwill
become of his people. I am yearning the Lord to
show me what to do. IfHe wants me to talk at that
meeting by phone, I will do it, or i fHe will have me
wait and go there in person. Whatever Herequires, whatever His will is. Guide me,
Heavenly Father." You said, "The Lord has
removed the privilege ofmeetings in Short Creek
because ofunbeliefand traitors among the people.
There is so much halfheartedness there, and yet
there is much good." You said, "The Lord is
revealing to me a few men that can be trusted.
They will be laborers, in the Lord's time, at these
places of refuge." You named Joseph Jessop,
Uncle Jerry's son Joseph, and also Jacob
Johnson.
At 4:00 0 'clock a.m. you came to and said,
"Hello, has anything been happening?" I said,
"Yes." You said, "Are you awake enough to
report it to me?" I said, "Yes." You said, "Be
prayerful. First get me a drink ofwater and you
also. Feel my forehead. " As I touched your head,
I could eel the fire flowingfrom you so strongly. I
know the Lord is guiding you. Ifeel His presence.
He is still showing you, has you in deep session. I
can feel His power in you so strong, even unto atrembling. It is now 4:45 a.m.
10:22 a.m.
This is a reportfrom 4:50 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. this
morning. You went back unconscious about 4:45
a.m., still in very intense suffering. I know the Lord
shows to you what He wants you to do and also
protects you. At 5:00 0 'clock a.m. you said, "The
Lord is stopping me. He is stopping me for some

reason. He has shown me that there are people
there seeking my life. If go there, it will be too
dangerous, but He will have me go later today to
perform that ordinance work, to train those men,
but I will have to leave at a time that I will arrive
there in the dark. Your body trembled very
severely at 5: lOa. m. As I witness you go through
such an intense session, the burning ofpeace I feel
is what strengthens me to watch you go throughsuch an intense suffering, knowing that you are
sufferingfor me, for all ofus, knowing that our job
here on earth is to perfect our characters that we
may come into the presence ofGod; and I know I
don't know how many times I have been in His
presence when I am around you, but I know that
when I approach you, I am approaching Him and
that is what it fel t like as you were going through
such an intense suffering. Your body twisted and
turned in the bed. Your bones were popping. Your
head was flipped back. And all the while I felt the
presence of ather, and I know the Lord is so close
to you, His presence, and also the impression I had
was that it was the Prophet Joseph.
At 5: 15 a. m. your body was still trembling. The
severity had lightened, but it was still jolting and
jerking some. You said, "Every step of he way to
the redemption ofZion takes an intense sacrifice. I
am so willing. May the Lord hasten my
preparation, may I not be slow. " Again your body
startea to tremble very severely. lou TWlstea agamand turned. The only sound that was coming from
you was the difficulty you were having breathing.
That is the only sound you made.
At 5:30 a.m. you said, "The news people are at
the meeting house. If I was to arrive there they
would get me on camera and I am not supposed to
go before the world by television. My message will
be in private to them, but the Lord will have a
message for this mission. They are only worthy for
the judgments of God to be poured out upon
them." You groaned and sighed and said, "Oh,
my. Oh, my. It is so terrible, so terrible what is
about to happen to our people, and yet it will be
more terrible upon the wicked." Your body jol ted
again and then you went very quiet and still. I
could hardly tell you were even breathing until
6:000 'clock a.m. this morning. Then you all the
sudden took a big breath. Then you twisted and
turned in the bed again. Your body trembled. You
said, "When will the earth rest? When will it cease
its groaning in misery? As the earth trembles,
tremble. I canfeel its deep pain. And I suffer even
as Enoch suffered for his people, rejoicing,
knowing he is much greater than I I am the leas
of he Prophets. "
At 6: 15 a.m. you were shining so brightly. The
fire Ifelt in this room, surrounding this place, wasso powerful. There was such a heavenly peace
here, andyet I could eel that peace could only stay
here through great fervency. At 6:20 a.m. you
said, "I will do as the Lord directs. I will go His
pace. He has a message for the people in Shor
Creek and also for this nation. He has revealed to
me more ofmy family that will be going to R17. "
You said, "Melinda is ready and Shirley, and
Sheena." Then you said, "I won't be going back
until my apartment is finished because I canno
stay among the wicked any longer in that place. will be going on February 1
st, taking those ladies,
and I pray there will be more named to either come
to this place or that place by that time. "
At 6:30 a.m. I heard you say something, but
couldn't tell what you said, so I was listening.
knelt up, and you said, "Hello, are you there?"
said, "Yes, I am right here." You said, "Stand up
so I know you are awake, " so I stood up. You were
still in such intense suffering. You told me to go
call Isaac and tell him to call William Jessop and
tell him that you were not able to be at the meeting
this morning, to carry on as usual, that you would
try to get with him later today. So I went and called
him and told him. When I came back, you told me
to go get Ida and then you told me to get my things
and go get ready somewhere else and then to ge
the meeting and take my notebook and read wha
wasn't recorded and then to tell Uncle Fred tha
the Lord hadyou in hand all night, ever since you
got here, that you weren't able to meet with him to
listen to this meeting, but you would try to get with
him when you could. I typed up what was not said
so it would be easier to read.
Uncle Wendell offered a prayer at the first o
the meeting because I told him the prayer was cu
off. After the meeting was over and we listened to
the ending prayer, I turned it off right after that.
Uncle Wendell said afterwards, "Well, there i
nothing more to be said, that was so heavenly.
Uncle Fred what do you think? Do you think thi

should be our training time, we go and ponder
what was said here, instead of meeting, and then
meet this afternoon?" Uncle Fred said, "Yes, that
is wisdom. We need to ponder what has been
said." Everyone was very attentive, alert.
12:27 p.m.
At 10:30 p.m. I reported to you what had
happened between 4:50 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Evenwhile I was reporting, I could feel your body still
trembling as I heldyour hand. You took my hand
and put it on your heart and said, "What do you
feel?" I could feel you were still trembling, that
you were still in session. You called Isaac and told
him to talk to Jim Oler and MacRae Oler, Spencer
and MacRae Blackmore and tell them they just
need to wait in Short Creekfo r you until you are
able to meet them, to also get holdofMoroni Steed
and Wendell Jeffs and tell them to just wait there
for you until you could talk to them. Isaac gaveyou a report on what was happening there.
At 11:00 0 'clock a.m. your body started to jolt
and jerk. There was such a power, just a surge
through me. I couldfeel the Lord's presence here.
You said, "I think the Lord wants to talk to me. Go
tell the men to go do other things until I can get
with them. I am not able to go right now. "
At 11:15 a.m. you went unconscious. At 11:20
a.m. you said, "The Lord is through with the
httljhe(JI teal iii Sho; t C; eek. Ti;ey UJ e h, iaging agreater scourge upon them than they realize.
When they drive the faithful and when there is only
the ungodly there, the Lord will handle them and
all their works ofdarkness will be thwarted. The
Lord has a message for that people and for this
nation. He wants me to write something. I am
seeking to know. "
At 11:30 a.m. you came to. You said, "When,
oh when, will there be a people?" You asked how
long you had been unconscious. I told you fifteen
minutes. You asked what time it was and I toldyou
11:30 a.m. Your body started trembling again,
and jolting, twisting. You went
unconscious again soon after that. Then you said,
"What is the name of Kimball Barlow's
daughter?" I don't know what her name is. You
said, "What are the names of he next two oldest
daughters of Richard Allred?" I would have to
look. I don' t know. You said, "This isso great, the
pressure I feel. Something is happening inside of
me. I am being changed. The desires of his earth
are going away from me. All earthly things are
becoming so-----, " I couldn't quite tell the word
you used. It sounded like you said, "despicable"
but I wasn 't sure that was the exact word you used.
Your body continued to tremble.
At 11:45 a.m. you said, "I need the Lord's
guidance on the revelation He wants me to give
this people. Pray for me. Exert yourself ." And I
know the Lord will give you the revelation you
need. It is for us to pray continually that you will
receive that revelation every day, that we may be
enlightened by you, through you.
At 11:50 a.m. you groanedand sighed and said,
"I have got to go talk to Uncle Fred and Uncle
Wendell when the Lord allows. I am seeking to
know His mindand will ofwhat I should do. 1feel
like I am supposed to write something." Your bodytrembled again. You said, "Oh, my. What is
happening to me? Whatis happening?" At 12:05
p.m. you said, "This is the most wicked generation
there has ever been on this earth. My whole being
tremblesfor Zion in great suffering. I am yearning
for the overthrow of his world and the ushering in
of the great redemption of Zion, the Millennium
Reign ofpeace, when God Himselfwi ll dwell upon
this earth for a thousand years. I will not cease
trembling until that time comes. Then you went
very still andquiet untilyou came to at 12:15 p.m.
Your body started trembling again outwardly
right as you came to again. I know it is constantly
trembling inwardly, that it never goes away. I can
feel the power ofyour Priesthood, the power and
majesty ofGod in you, that He is working through
you. I know that no matter what, you will bring
about, the Lord will through you, the redemption
ofZion. It isfor us, no matter what it takes, to be
willing to go through whatever experience it takes
to qualify to come back into His presence. I knowthat is your yearning desire for us all. It is now
12:42 p.m.
2:39 p.m.
I last gotfinished reporting to you at 12:40 p.m.
You have been through a very severe suffering all
night, and all day it has continued. As you were
going unconscious, your body was trembling. You
told me to sit in the chair. There were times I had

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/states-exhibit-223-ph-january-24-2004 5/9
to come and kneel by you so I could hear what you
were saying.
At 1:00 0 'clock p.m. as your tremblingbecame
more severe, you twisted over in the bed onto your
back, your head flipped backwards, your back
bowed, your body trembled. Then you turned back
onto your side. You said, "What is happening?
What is happening to me?" I know the Lord knowswhat He is doing. At that time you said, "Every
revelation comes through great suffering. "
Yes.
At 1:15 p.m. you said, "I also need to give this
training to James Dockstader's son and Rulon
Jessop Jr." You said, "The Lord has something
for me to do before I go to Short Creek, and also
He is keeping me here because of what is
happening there. I have yearned that He will tell
me when to give the "scatter order" but I don't
think it will be until I give His message to the
nation. "
You said, "He is revealing to me more of my
enemies. I cannot have any confidence or trust in
William Knudson. He is an open enemy. I must be
very careful how I handle and what I allow Leon
Jessop to do. He is so unstable andhas not had the
Spirit of God for so long. He will become an
enemy." You said you needed to be careful with
Marion Jessop and also Robert Steed. You said,
"PhlilP Mackert Sr. IS an open enemy. He IS veryactive in giving information to the government,
that someone else gives to him." You said, "The
Lord has shown me many men's hearts, some that
are very stalwart, some that are in the secret
combination and conspiracy against me. Some of
the guards that guard me are not with me, the ones
that have been at the meeting house, waiting for
me, like Steven Barlow. Although he professes
loyalty, he is very fearful that I will handle him. "
You named another name, but I couldn't tell what
you said. The last name was Barlow, but I couldn'ttell the first name.
At 1:40 p.m. your body trembled very severely
again. You twisted over in the bed. The blanket
fel l onto the floor. I put it back over you. Your
body was still trembling very severely. You said,
"What is happening? What is happening? As the
Lord shows me what is about to happen to the
people in Short Creek and to this nation and most
ofall what is about to happen to the faithful ones
my whole body trembles for Zion. I am willing to
be the sacrifice to make the atonement, whatever i
takes; but the Lordwill spare my life, and mine wil
be a living sacrifice. "
At 2:000 'clock p. m. you said, "At R17 the Lor
wants established, as soon as the storehouse i
complete, men in place to take slaughter thanimals." You again named Ben Johnson. You
also named that Wendell Jeffs would help in tha
effort. You saidyou needed one more person. The
Lord would reveal to you who He wanted. You
didn't name another person yet. You said that you
needed to get another trailer house there. You sai
that as soon as possible Joseph Jessop and his wif
were to start organizing the storehouse because h
would be the caretaker of hat, his family would
You would show him how the Lord wanted it done
You said thatyou would have Kate and Tammy anMelinda also help in organizing that effort
At 2:15 p.m. you said, "The Lord is pressing m
to get that house done. As ast as they get it done, i
needs to be filled. There just isn't any time. The
faithful will be driven. I need the Lord's guidanc
to find them. This is no small matter. Again you
said, "Ifeellike I am supposed to write something
You groaned and sighed and said, "The Lord wi
do it. He will do it." Then you went still agai
until 2:30 p.m. It is now 2:55 p.m.
4:00 p.m. Talking to Jerry Jessop Jr.

you. Your next contact with me is a letter of
confession. But carry this out. As soon as you can

land, and your wives go to their father's dominion
for now. That's the word of the Lord to you, and
how quickly you carry it out will show if you are
with Him or not.
I'm telling you this was told me two weeks ago.If you will take it right, it will be a blessing to you.
If you do not, then I must let you go. But I hope
and pray you will stay in the path ofrepentance and
seek Priesthood in your life. God bless you and
please do this right. I will be calling the fathers of
hese, your wives, and telling them to gather up
their daughters.
Okay, gather up your family and arrange that

8:09 p.m. Naomie's Testimony
You have really been through an extreme
intense suffering today and through the night. The
last time I reported to you I got finished at 2:55
p.m. You got a phone call and you were on the
phone for quite a while. You called Jerry Jessop
Jr. and told him he didn't hold Priesthood, that the
Lord showed you two weeks ago that he did not
Fiola Pfieslflool1 and thai he ana' his Sun Ashteywere to move offof he UEP land and repent rom a
distance. You took care of many issues at hand
and by 5:20 p. m. the Lord gave four revelations to
you that you wrote down. You said that the Lord
could just give you this next revelation, that you
knew He could, but you needed to seek and pray
harder for it. You had me start typing these
revelations. You got ready to go out, but as you
went to go out the door, you were stopped and you
could not. Your body started to tremble. You said,
"The Lord will not let me out of his room." Youwere conscious, going through a very severe
intense training, until 6:40 p.m. That is when you
went unconscious.
At 6:45 p.m. your body jolted and trembledfor
just a moment. Then, as I was praying for you, I
looked up and you were gone. There was such an
overpoweringfeeling here in this room. There was

such a power ofburning peace here. At 7: 10 p.m.
as I looked up again, I could see you laying there.
At 7:20 p.m. you said, "The Lord is shutting me
down for some reason. I am seeking unto Him
what to do." I know He can give you instant
energy and increased strength as He chooses and
He will do it.
At 7:30 p.m. you said, "There is so muchhappening, so much. It is terrible what is going to
take place soon. The Lord keeps warning me to be
careful with certain men, that they do not hold
Priesthood and are seeking my life and are part of
the conspiracy. He has revealed to me my sister
Carol is not with me. "
At 7:45 p.m. your body was trembling again,
you said, "Uncle Fred's son with red hair, what is
his name?" I am not sure. He has a Wendell with
red hair. You said he would be receiving a wife.
You didn't name a name. You said, "The Lord has
shown me his heart. He is very sweet and obedient
to Uncle Fred." At 7:50 p.m. you said, "Uncle
Fred's daughter Stella, she will also be getting
married." You didn't name a namefor her either.
You said, "The Lord is showing me that He is
through with those men who profess to believe in
what I am doing and then go and turn state's
evidence. He will handle them very soon. What
Ross Chatwin did on Friday is a very grievous sin.
1he Lora WUl handle mm.
At 8:000 'clock p.m. your groaned and sighed
and said, "When, oh when, will there be a people. "
You started trembling again. At 8:10 p.m. you
came to and said, "What has been happening? I
must have been taken away." It is now 8:25 p.m.
9:39 p.m.
I finished talking to you last at 8:25 p.m. You
got off he chair and laid on the bed. You said, "I
am so miserable. Everything in me is so
miserable." You went back unconscious by 8:50p.m. You said you still would be going to Short
Creek, that the Lord would open up the way. You
said you were going there to do the weddings and
also to make some corrections and to talk to those
brethren. You said that you would be giving Stella,
Uncle Fred's daughter, to Eldon Johnson, that his
son Wendell would be receiving the next daughter
ofRichard Allred. Then you said, "Is Kathryn her
name?" I don't know what her name is. I can find
out.
At 9: 15 p.m. you groaned and sighed. Your
body started trembling. It didn't tremble severely
but it did tremble. You said, "I am just worthless,
so worthless." You are the greatest man on earth,
the Lord guides you. I know He will keep you
where He wants you and send you where He wantsyou to go. At 9:20 p.m. you said, "Oh, my. Oh, my.
There is so much on my mind. The pressure is so
great, ye t I am so willing to carry it, the Lord
helping me." Then you came to at 9:40 p.m.
11:20 p.m.
The last I talked to you, Ifinished at 8:30 p.m.
You were taken unconscious again. At 9:00
o 'clock p.m. you said, "Is Wendell, Uncle Fred's
son, LaDonna's son?" As far as I know he is
Karen's. You said, "I am thinking ofLaDonna 's
son." I guess there is one that is old enough to be
married, but I don't know what his name is. You
said, "This is LaDonna 's son that I am thinking of,
not Karen's, for Richard's daughter." I said,
"Okay." You said, "Is his name Edson?" I am
sorry, Ijust don't know. I am sure the Lordreveals
to you what their names are. You said, "Find out.
Before we leave, find out what their names are." I
wasn't sure i fyou wanted me to do it right then. I
didn't go and do it because you were still in very
dee" session vou said "The 'ord sure is sMPping1 i 1me. I am just yearning to know what He wants
done. "
At 9:20 p.m. your body trembled for just a
moment. There was such an overpoweringfeeling
in this room. Again you were taken away
physically until 10:10 p.m. I felt very impressed to
pray for you to be able to receive whatever
instruction the Lord had, that you would know
what to do. At 10:10 p.m. as !looked up at you and
saw you again, your body trembled very severely
for afew seconds. Then you said, "Okay, okay.You were very still and quiet until 10: 45p.m. Then
you said, "The Lord is pressing upon my mind to
take another young girl. I am just reaching to
know His will. I don't want to be slow." You said,
"LaMar Johnson's daughter Permillia." Then
you said, "I am trying to understand it all. This is
so amazing, so amazing. You groaned and
sighed and again you went very still and quiet until
11:10 p.m. Then you said, "Whatever the Lord

requires, I will do, whatever His will is. I am not
seeking anything ofmyself. I only yearn to do His
will, to do as He directs. There is still something I
must do here before we leave, still something I
must do. I am yearning the Lord to show me. JJ You
groaned and sighed and said, "Okay, okay. JJ
At 11:15 p. m. you said, "With all these
corrections I have made, with the ones I made
yesterday, you will see the wicked come at me
faster than ever, but I am not afraid, for I trust that
the Lord will guide me as He has so many times;
and I know He will. JJ Then you said, "It is so great,
such a great weight I feel, such a great weight. JJ
Then you went quiet until 11:20 p.m. you said,
"Two more hours have gone by. JJ It is now 11: 33
p.m.
