I could have asked the recorder myself, but have never known him well enough to ask and it always felt like a strange thing ask, so I didn't. I just want to put it out there that from the little I know about him, he is a great man with a great immediate and extended family. Neither he nor the person that related the story to me attended the event in Cameron, MO.AI2.0 wrote: ↑January 6th, 2018, 2:43 pm I'm sorry I responded without seeing your second post on this. Thanks for the clarification.
So it sounds like you were told by someone who knows the recorder, is that correct? So, then it would seem that the recorder is claiming that they wrote down her vision at the request of the Temple Pres.
It really does sound outside of protocol, but I suppose if the Temple pres. believed her, maybe he wanted to preserve it in their record. I'm still skeptical that maybe there's some details which may be incorrect.
One point of interest--Julie, by her own admission, was not supposed to share her 'vision' until October 2013 (this is found on page 122 of her first book, a greater tomorrow, so there's a problem if she shared it and the temple recorder then told about it, during the open house in 2012) This happens all the time with Julie--she's often contradicting herself with her claims. She's been adding to her original claims that she gets muddled on what she's said in the past.
One thing about Elder Ballard's talk. On this forum, we saw the Energy healing proponents ignore and excuse Elder Ballard's speaking against what they do, so I'm not surprised if her followers also ignore these things. Her credibility is not hurt by her past failed predictions, but you must admit that if you tell that story to someone who doesn't know her backstory (that she shared her vision with the Temple Pres. and he had it recorded in the temple record), don't you think that will give her 'vision' credibility? I'd say it does, and that's the danger when it's taken at face value, without knowing anything else about her.
I really only shared this story in response to iWriteStuff's response to me, so unfortunately I didn't consider what others might think, and I wouldn't have shared it had Leisure_59 not shared it first a long time ago.
I'm glad you shared it, I think all the bits and pieces that are shared are worthwhile. We here are very familiar with Julie and her antics over the years--it's all here documented for anyone to view--you're the messenger for this bit of information to add to the 'Julie file' and we can all figure out how much we want to believe. Maybe we'll get some more information which will clarify some of this story. I don't blame you for not wanting to ask the recorder about it, though that would probably be what is needed to be more sure of the incident--at this point it is second hand and that has less credibility than first hand. Thanks for telling us what you know about this.
