On April 5 of 2020, Russell M Nelson announced that a new temple will be built for the Shanghai People’s Republic of China. China said they had no knowledge of a temple being built there and that it was “wishful thinking.”

Russell M. Nelson always stressed being “good global citizens. ”What does that mean exactly? The United Nations is very big on global citizenship. Didn’t Ezra Taft Benson warn the people about communism?

The First Presidency urged members to be "good global citizens and help quell the pandemic by safeguarding themselves and others through immunization.” Nelson also told the people that receiving the vaccine was part of his “personal efforts to be good global citizens". Did you know that Ensign Peak, the investment management arm for the church, held stock in the same companies that were giving the vaccines?

Russell M. Nelson led the church by shutting down churches, urging of face masks, and urging members to get the vaccine.
There are thousands of people that have suffered and died from the COVID-19 vaccine. When we go to the VAERS report, the amount that have died from the vaccine that has been reported is over 18,000 deaths. You can do a search to look it up as well.https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html
Back in 2023, Europe reported that 11,448 people have died after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

Why did Russell M. Nelson focus on shutting down churches, wearing masks, and getting a vaccine that has a high risk of injury or death when our focus should have been on seeking Yeshua for healing?
President Russell M Nelson met with Francis, who people call the pope, at the Vatican on 3/9/2019 for 33 min (notice the 33 Freemason number) and Nelson also calls Francis “his holiness”.

Weren’t we always taught that the catholic church is the most abominable church, so why is Russell M. Nelson meeting with Francis and calling him “his holiness”? https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9tolTbaQk5Ks0S11iBOiEunSFUejiVRuu7_zxE1GtepO9OFIOoH87AIPibnJfnFelYGyVApnxvJPzAE31fD1hTKx8gPgpCUARZPSdhcoyhhgP3B0CJlf_XUdNtD5AIWFIVb6v6nkN_L-xXRd1sn9JpjtS8geaIs_E-EGO9BNQZWVDAtR36-bFcAHcogu/s611/1854%20MORMON%20SEER%20The%20DEVIL%20Founded%20the%20ROMAN%20CATHOLIC%20CHURCH.jpg
When Russell M. Nelson was president of the church, he praised New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Arden. He called her “a peacemaker, a policymaker, a consensus-giver.” He also explained, “She’s courageous. The world will discover they’ve got a real leader here. It’s an unlikely scenario, a young mother leading a great nation. ... We’re very impressed with her, she will have a great future.“https://caribbean.churchofjesuschrist.org/president-nelson-praises-new-zealands-prime-minister
Did you know that Jacinda Arden’s campaign promise was to decriminalize abortion? New Zealand passed the Abortion Legislation Act of 2020 under former Prime Minister Jacinda Arden. This law allows abortion for up to 20 weeks without clinical justification, and after 20 weeks if the practitioner feels the procedure is clinically appropriate, they can still have an abortion. This means they can have an abortion up to birth.
Jacinda received a Freemason University Scholarship in 2016 and was the president of the International Union of Socialist Youth in 2007.She was also known for her strict lockdowns, closing of borders, vaccine passes, and mandatory vaccinations for specific workforces. https://www.google.com/search?q=jacinda+arden+covid+mandates&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS876US876&oq=jacinda+arden+covid+mandates&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyBwgDECEYjwLSAQg3NTU0ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Jacinda also left the LDS church to support LGBT rights. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/new-zealand-prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-quit-mormon-church-lgbt-rights-a8012676.html#:~:text=Your%20support%20makes%20all%20the,confronting%20thing%20to%20deal%20with.
Russell M Nelson told a story in his book that was not true and had to be removed from the book on the Life of Mormon President Russell M. Nelson.
His daughter also had a recent court case brought against her and her husband for child sex abuse that got dismissed because of how long it had been. Did Russell M. Nelson have connection to the coverup?

There is also this article that states there are testimonies of abuse from Nelson.
The Murder by Decree website I just linked also is exposing the crimes of the Catholic Church and the LDS church.
