it s your wife, your children, but also the whole world because if this thing doesn t happen, people will die. lundgren manipulates the group to convince them that there are consequences mandated by god if they do not follow his every word. they had a rabbit and a couple pets and things like this where they would end up dead. of course, it s pretty obvious, i think now that lundgren was killing these creatures. so every time that happened, he said that s because there s sin in the midst. that meant that there would be a cost. at this point, it was a cost to some animal. but it also meant that it would postpone this who we were supposed to be seeking which meant more people would die. were you afraid living in this? was it a joyful experience? no, you become desperate to
i began to doubt whether or not i could continue any farther because god had gotten too ugly. at this point, too ugly to follow anymore. that grew into serious doubts about what was right. and then eventually to a conviction that was wrong. luff s growing realization that he participated in a terrible crime prompts him to turn himself into authorities. it say step that initiates the end of jeffrey lundgren s cult. coming up how in the world. if you can recover. is that how you view this as a recovery? a recovery, you could say, a nightmare. all of those dreams of what was going to be turned sour.
religious group is quickly morphing into a cult. so, where does this come in? my faith was very much everything. i m looking for a lot of answers to questions. i decide that i want to go to kirtland temple and just visit the place. i ve never been there. pray, meditate, and see if i can god will touch me in any way or let me know anything that he wants in my life. what direction in my life. so i d never heard of jeff lundgren before that day. and that is where we first met. we spent about six hours after that tour talking to him, his wife and some of the things going on in the church and so forth. and then we met some of the other people that were there. what there seemed to be is a collection of people who all seemed to have the answers to their questions. and that was very attractive to me because i was still not finding those answers to my questions. everything i was reading was
i mean, we were working out together, just the two of us, out in the barn. and he says, i just want you to know one thing, you re not bringing friends this time. lundgren approaches luff and tells him to dig a large pit in the barn. it is another command that luff follows without question. he knew that something bad would happen? i would say within a few days, at least, beforehand, those of us who had prepared the pit in the barn understood that someone could die. a tip from a former member of lundgren s cult leads authorities to the discovery of a body. the body is found underneath an abandoned barn on a farm where lundgren s cult used to reside.
same time for something bad to occur. the idea that anyone in his shoes would have done the same thing, i don t know if that s true. i really don t know if that s true. how quickly was it that you sort of noted or gotten involved or decided this is what you wanted? you really have to understand mormonism and the book of mormons because it prophesizes the choice. he will be the one that establishes the new jerusalem. luff quickly becomes convinced that lundgren may be the chief seer predicted in the mormon scriptures. that this man about the one he s been seeking most of his life. this is when i began to
