"The Julie Rowe Show" Podcasts

[Spider]

Thanks for all your comments above. Her comments sound pretty alarming. Do you think she has more than 500 - 1,000 followers at this time? I bet her followers at this time are pretty small in numbers.

If you look at the number of views on her podcasts, they are around 11,500 total as of a couple of days ago. Considering she only started this a few weeks ago, that's a great start. Granted, many who watch are like me, they are not all her followers, some listen because we don't believe her claims and still want to know what she's up to.


The more I listen the more alarmed I am by her claims. I was listening to her #13 show--'What I see in the Midwest', just at the beginning as she introduces her topic and talks about what she'll be sharing of what she sees in the future in different parts of the world, the thought hit me that Julie Rowe is styling herself as a "mormon psychic'. If she continues, she's going to be told to stop by church leaders. She's crossing the line, IMO.

The more I listen the more I'm certain she's a fraud, by that, I mean she's not what she claims to be.

Another point spider, She says that she receives dozens of emails every day asking her questions. I believe this. She's probably feeling that the podcasts are going to net her more of an audience than she has now and it will most likely keep growing. People want to hear these messages. They want to feel they are being told about future events. The problem with Julie is that she's never been right yet and still people listen to her. She's also working to make her message fit a wider audience, outside Mormon circles.

The main reason she has gone to the podcast format is that no radio stations will give her airtime anymore. They tend to do that when everything you said would happen did not.

This episode reminds me of Saul going to the witch of Endor for revelation after Samuel the prophet died...

1 Sam. 28:6-8
6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 ¶Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor.
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night.

The key difference, of course, is that the witch happened to be right. #-o

Why are members seeking her out for spiritual answers or predictions of the future? Why don't they go to The Lord and receive a personal witness?

Good question. I don't know why believing LDS would go to her, but apparently they do. I'm not a member of AVOW, but I bet that on her private, pay to view forum within a forum, she also has many asking her questions.

She's basically acting as a kind of psychic when people ask her to tell of the future and give them spiritual guidance. Because she's consulting her spirit guides and her visions and NDE's. I'm not sure why she has any credibility though, since she's not made any predictions which have come true.

Probably for the same reason some people would rather be on welfare than have a job. Pretty much all boils down to the same thing.

I am shocked that anyone in any way shape or form is still giving one once of observation to this woman. That being said I have been to the FLDS community where they still follow Jeffs even when much of their community has abandon his evil teachings. It shows me that there will always be those who willingly want to be deceived that they might either feel important or keep their head in the sand as not to have to follow true and living prophets that do not havea sexier more disaster related message. As for me and mine we will serve the Lord and not be swayed by the false prophets of the world no matter how exciting the
message. Wake up.

I find the above "Preparing a People Conference," could be confusing to many latterday saints. It looks Church Sanctioned or even put on by the church as it is held in the Rexburg Tabernalce, catered by BYU catering . Those things seem designed to give it credibility, yet Julie Rowe makes a special appearance. The others well I am only familiar with Shelley McDermott, and I got the impression she was a great salesperson. It is a day and age where we should know for Ourselves the spirit with which a message is delivered, not the frenzy of other " Enlightened last days Specialist". Some of the above speakers maybe fine, but this gives the appearance of being on equal footing with time out for women. I believe in preparing, studying, looking for the signs of his coming, so as not to be found sleeping. I am also very aware of the spirit of apostasy that seems to be over taking so many . The copies coming so close to the truth as to even deceive the noble and great. Pres. Uchtdorf stated " doubt your doubt before you doubt your faith",that seems pretty sound advise, and where many get into trouble, being tossed by a seed of doubt.

Interesting, it was last July 4th weekend that Shelle McDermott made a prediction there would be a plague. She's not as well known as Julie Rowe I guess, so it went mostly unnoticed.

I agree I think they try to make it look like a church sanctioned event because they are catering to LDS.

You are absolutely right. I thought it was sanctioned by the Church. It confused me. I thought I'd post it to get feedback from you people here.

"The Rexburg Tabernacle was built in 1911, and served as meeting house for religious services until it was acquired by the City of Rexburg in 1980 and turned into a civic center."

Don't be fooled. The Church does not own the Tabernacle anymore and any usage of the facilities by Julie and others is not endorsement from the Church, or city of Rexburg for that matter. Though I'm sure those who are putting on this event are hoping to profit benefit from the honest (and naive) people who will wrongly ascribe such às endorsement and/or association with said entities. Same goes BYU catering. Yes, it's BYU-I, a Church owned school, but it's also a catering company - as in they will provide services as long as they are paid in compensation, as any other business would. This also should not be taken as endorsement, though as has been demonstrated already some people will perceive it as such. And I could almost certainly believe that the hosts of this event are banking counting on this happening, and thus why they are advertising them so prominently, so that they can increase their revenue attendance numbers.

[Matchmaker]

Regardless of whether she talks to the dead on a regular basis as she claims, or not, I've been listening to some of her podcasts. She is saying some things about the Church and its leaders, both past and present, and what they will be telling the members to do in the future and how they are going to be telling them, that shocks even me. She's stating adamantly that the Boston bombing was a false flag attack, and a few other wild statements, that are sure to bring the wrong kind of publicity to the Church and its members.

She's writing her fourth book now and is in the process of funding a documentary about her experiences. She's collecting money from various enterprises to fund her "Greater Tomorrow Relief Fund" to buy supplies for all the people who are going to be flooding into Utah, as if Deseret Industries and the other members won't help take care of these people. She states that the next earthquake in SLC is the catalyst that starts the tribulation which will last 7 years. I'm surprised she has not been disciplined by the Church for what she's doing. I think she has gone way over the line here.

Am I just an old fool who is jealous of her worldly success, or is something really wrong with what she is doing?

[Gage]

The only time I hear her mentioned is in here. Has this brought her a lot of "success" I wonder? I wonder how much she has made. How many books she has sold and how many people follow her or believe everything she says. She must be making a little because she keeps writing books. Its just for her though, for her own spirituality, but buy the books and it can help you too, its for me and my family but buy the books it can help you, its just for me but buy the books.

I'd hardly call what she has "success".

As to right vs wrong, I suppose we will all be judged on intent as well as action. I don't think she intends to deceive or mislead. But it sure does look like it sometimes, doesn't it?

I thought that at first, too. But her subsequent, and continued, actions and proclamations (not to mention her full-on push to deprive struggling LDS people of their hard-earned cash) have disabused me of that idea.

I read one of her books. Seems it has come to naught. Was I aiding and abetting?

You're in good company. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, heck just take my wallet already.... :((

I don't know, were you? I read one of her books, too. We were talking about Rowe and what SHE is doing, so I'm not sure what the point of your question is.

[BackBlast]

I believe that we do more, accomplish more, by finding a cause we love and can support, and putting our efforts in a positive fashion. There are many good causes and efforts in the world that could use a helping hand, a kindly donation, a good word. The ripple effect from your positive contribution will far outweigh what can be done against all the evil in the world.

Occasionally there are enemies to fight. Debates that need a public stance where you can sway a few of the fence sitters in your circle. IMHO, Julie Rowe isn't one that 95% of us need concern ourselves with. If you know a fence sitter who is looking for your opinion, by all means, provide it. I doubt that description fits anyone here.

[EmmaLee]

Welp, you would be wrong. Because several people have changed their minds about Rowe over the last year - from believing her, to now realizing that she is a fraud - right here on LDSFF. So I'm glad people gave their opinions, and that some people were swayed.
