I think this site has some good information about Jodi Hildebrandt.

Seriously, this "in distortion" stuff that she is selling and her being the way to cure being "in distortion" with "truth" is about as clear example of a cult that you can get.

There is also a lot of good information in this Google Doc that her daughter has crowd sourced for contributions.

Looks like Scientology.

Looks like Scientology.

That's what I thought. The language/jargon and the pricing on her website gives the whole thing a very scieno feel: https://www.connexionsclassroom.com/transform-with-Jodi

Well they are both cults, so not a surprise they feel the same.

Crazy. How much of this true? Tim Ballard is a total POS. Our leaders need better barriers between them and the nutjobs out there.


Mormon Church Denounces Tim Ballard’s “Morally Unacceptable” Activities

The ties between Tim Ballard and Elder Ballard described in the documents are numerous and occasionally bizarre, involving claimed business arrangements, blessings, and even a psychic who claimed to be able to communicate with the prophet Nephi, who according to the Book of Mormon has been dead for thousands of years. Allegations from a former OUR higher-up as well as text messages contained in the documents obtained by VICE News suggest that Tim Ballard and an associate represented Elder Ballard as a partner in a for-profit business called Slave Stealers, which was pitched as a way to control OUR and other non-profits. It was apparently viewed as part of a scheme that would allow Tim Ballard to monetize the notoriety he gained through his often exaggerated exploits.

Tim Ballard also claimed, according to the documents, that Elder Ballard maintained close contact with him during at least one disastrous overseas mission, which was based on information obtained by the psychic medium and aimed at rescuing a missing child. Ballard said the Mormon elder blessed him and his wife Katherine beforehand and received real-time updates from on the ground.

I already liked Nephi, even though his martyr schtick kind of wears on me, but I'd love him even more if he's running pedo busting rings from the afterlife.

Weird. It's almost like we've been shouting from the rooftops to watch out for this scumbag charlatan and just like that the Church has to release a statement to put some distance between itself and this scumbag charlatan who has long since been exploiting his LDS membership and connections to perpetuate his scumbag charlatanry.

I didn't finish the vice article until now. That's quite the juicy detail.

Yeah, did that little bit of "intelligence" make into the movie?

I would so have gone against my principles and paid money to see it if it had.

Vice has covering this before anyone else. I don't doubt it's accurate. Ballard clearly has a messiah complex. He is not governed by rationality. I'm glad the church was public about and wish they'd do in a few other instances

I kinda thought he had too many books.
