Mother of missing Rexburg kids believes she is reincarnated various times and sealed for eternity to Moroni - among others?

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Mother [Lori Vallow] has recently become infatuated at times obsessive about near death experiences and spiritual visions. Mother has told Father [Charles Vallow] that she is sealed [eternally married] to the ancient Book of Mormon prophet Moroni and that she has lived numerous lives on numerous planets prior to this current life. Mother also believes that she was married to James the Just in a past life and also lived as Mary French in the 1800s who was Joseph Smith Junior’s natural grandmother. Mother also informed Father that she is a translated being who cannot taste death sent by God to lead the 144,000 into the Millennium. Mother believes that she is receiving spiritual revelations and visions to help her gather and prepare those chosen to live in the New Jerusalem after the Great War as prophesied in the book of Revelations.

On January 29, 2019, during a phone conversation between the parties and after their physical separation, Mother informed Father that she was a God assigned to carry out the work of the 144,000 at Christ’s second coming in July 2020 and that if Father got in her way of her mission she would murder him.

The next day Father was on a business trip in Houston and during another phone conversation she kept referring to Father as ‘Nick Schneider’ instead of Father’s name. Father asked who Nick Schneider was and Mother told him that Nick was Father’s real name because Nick had killed Father and taken his identity. Mother proceeded to warn Father that she would kill him upon his return home and had an angel there to help her dispose of the body. She also mentioned that she could not trust Father and that she would not only kill him but would destroy him financially. Since that conversation Mother’s communications with Father have been rare and intermittent.

There is a lot to recommend her ideas, at least in terms of pure entertainment value. Too bad she had to be a complete psycho and bring her fun theology to a crashing disrepute!

Why do all these kooks always believe that they were famous people in their past lives or related to them? How come they are never losers in these past lives?

Sounds to me like Mother has read Doctrines of Salvation too many times.

It makes sense that she would choose July 23, 2020, as the date of the second coming to get out of having to attend yet another Pioneer Day parade the next morning.
