Hello. My name is Jacques Dingemanse. I reside in a small rural Mormon community in south central Utah called Fairview, originally known as North Bend. I was raised in the LDS church and grew with that clouded belief system. It wasn’t until I got out of high school and joined the work force that I began to see things in the LDS ward I belonged to that troubled me. There was more infighting, back biting and superficial nonsense in the Mormon church, than there was in the trade union I belonged to at that time.
Around this same (the early nineties) my mother and sisters became involved in a study group that would later be organized into the True and Living Church. My mother continually tried to get me involved in this study group. But from long experience of watching her get involved in things that were a waste of time, I wouldn’t even consider the study group. The True and Living Church had already been organized for a couple of years before I finally consented to seeing the models.
It was mid-summer 1996 when I finally attended the models. The truth that was revealed to me in those two days was undeniable. A week later I entered the waters of baptism, becoming a member of The True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days. Also, I received the Holy Ghost into my corporate being with such a surge of spirit that it completely enveloped me.
I was also privileged to be present with part of the gathered remnant, when God’s anointed and appointed “Voice” led in mighty prayer. I felt the surge of power as the Father and the Son entered the room, and I had the Father of all creation look upon me, with his glory shining through me nothing hidden from view.
Soon the great and dreadful day of the Lord will arrive upon the earth. Babylon and Satan’s kingdom will be thrown down and destroyed. Zion will again come forth and claim her own. This witness and testimony I leave with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
