a new #Supernatural Character, The Book of Enoch/Mormon, and Apostasy of the LDS Church

I was just watching Season 9 Episode 9 of Supernatural with Wacky, and we came across a new character, and they were no introduced in an expected fashion either!

This is an Angel, and his name is Gadreel, and (to save you from sounding silly or being corrected) it's pronounced in the same way as Gabriel / "Gad-ree-yel".

As I interpreted the the name's spelling as I heard it, "Gadriel", my intense web trawling caused me to only find confusing dead ends.

This sent me on a wild goose chase, finding a seemingly related Marvel character, and being perplexed that I could not find his name in any Bible scripture, and being the kind of non giving up in my quest for information, because of a mental health doctor's diagnosis of OCD mixed with a and ADD, I continued my search, convinced that, if it's in Supernatural, they didn't just make an Angel name up.

I turns out I was right after I realised my mis-spelling, and eventually found his name mentioned in the Book of Enoch, which has been omitted from the Holy Bible as it was previously considered a potential fabrication as a story written by one of the Holy Bible authors.

It turns out that Gadreel is from the book of Enoch
I also discovered something else interesting, that parts of the book were also discovered as part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which by rights, should make it a genuine book of the Holy Bible, and also backed up by other scriptures:

From the Holy Bible:
Genesis 5:18–24 Luke 3:37 Hebrews 11:5 (See: http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bd/enoch)

...and the Book of Mormon (LDS):
D&C 107:48–57 Moses 6–7

I should explain at this point that in 2011 I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS Church , but sadly found it to be corrupted.
But It is my belief that The majority of the Book of Mormon is a correct account (Think of simular pyramids in both continents of America and Africa and the historic account of the "Fair skinned God" of the American Indians).

You may argue of there being any validity to the Book of Mormon due to unsavory issues associated with Book's most well known church, being apparent racism which seem to be portrayed in the scriptures used and taught, but please not that this is because of the little known of but well documented corruption and transformation of the original church early into it's youth.

The members are by far the most understanding and open minded Christians I have ever had the chance to commune with (thus joining).

But sadly this church brainwashes members over time with the fabrications and and sometimes inhuman treatment of members introduced by Brigham Young, bringing with them hidden truths and censor, and hide and also disfigure the original church scriptures and even it's true history, and the longer term member tend to end up unknowingly doing the same to newer and prospecting members.

The basis of the church is something I do believe in, but their use of young men as insistent enforcers ended up becoming forceful and negligent of  my personal and my wife and her children's dark family history, which partly involved the church being forceful in their prerogatives without consideration of their situation at the time or personal life.
In other words this church always ends up destroying families, relationships, with their overbearing, invasive , ignorant and arrogant "we know best" attitude towards members.

Their prejudice and overbearing rule and traditions enforcement is their downfall, and they practically spy on members to keep them on the "right path".

Some of it's fabricated D&C scriptures is what ultimately led me to leave.

Thankfully, though, there are still legitimate copies of the original and true scriptures, which hold all of the unedited translations prophecies, and personal accounts of the people from the Book of Mormon straight from the founder of the Church, Joseph Smith. The Irony of the Church Being a Latter Day Church, is the very thing that was prophesied in the bible of the last days. False and corrupted churches and prophets, which came sooner for the church than people today even expect.

For today's members, without their knowing the truth, some of who refuse to accept the truth about the church, as what they have been taught has been so hard set upon them, as the tainted teachings include hidden cues to tech them to be extremely defensive against any possibility of corruption as an attack against the church's foundations, and their fellow members and leaders will actively persue these issues and advise the members not to communicate with anyone who speaks against their teachings in a discounting fashion, unless it is being done within a church lesson, where the elder members and leaders and passively but intensely derail or "correct" the direction of the conversation.

In extreme cases members are taught that if you do accept this church that god will disown you, even if you remain a predicting a christian. This is used against members who consider exploring the true history thus truth of the church, they become treated as traitors to God, and guilt them in to accepting his "only true church".

Another odd thing about the process of joining the church is very intense.

They call this process their "Failsafe" way of making sue members will not join insincerely, but in reality it's much deeper than that.

Basically they make it clear that you don't choose them, they choose you.

Yep, that's right, you have no choice in the mater of becoming a member of God's true church.
These humans get to judge you first.

Guess they leave out that time Jesus stopped a public stoning then.

The Joining process is a special and complicated process to make sure that subscribing members stay faithful members, for life. Unless they want God to abandon them forever. generally to naive to know what they are doing, but are doing it out of respect to God.

These are The Missionaries.

Welcome to the Enrollment Process.

The Missionaries visit non members and make sure they teach anyone who listens.
First they give you the scriptures (but not the D&C) to read, and keep returning and contacting you to check you have read it.

Then they make sure it is understood and eventually believed. After that they tell you the rules of the church and how it connects with the scriptures and the Holy Bible. Further o they with start enforcing these rules upon you, telling you that you must comply to them to become a member. And then of course comes the further teachings and fervent, prying enforcement of these rules, and it all becomes a bit of an at the door, then into the living room and church investigation into every corner of your daily and personal life. Eventually becoming a seemingly sort of passive aggressive Spanish Inquisition.

This is how it works:
First are the visiting young men, who are  is screening and interviewing the members by collecting intimate and extensive informatio about family members, family history, habits, interests, criminal records, and other such personal data, followed by an intense interview which to me felt almost like a perfect human test yet also a forced confession test. It was an incredibly unsettling process, and felt incredibly demeaning and degrading.

LDS members (or Mormons) have the truth hidden from them by their leaders.
It's terrible, but it very cleverly done. It's a veil that not even some of the most influential leaders know about. Or maybe they just don't want their bubble bursting...

So, what was my experience?

Myself and my wife (an unsuspecting member of 20 years) discovered that since the second leader (Brigham Young) of the LDS corrupted the church and burned all original copies of D&C and replacing it with a D&C of his own version, one which favored him and gave him more power to control the followers and direction of the church, unfortunately changing the very foundations and even re-writing the official history in his own image for his own benefit.

This of course alienated and upset the founder Smith's family and close friends, and causing the Freemason themes and odd secrecy of the church, resulting in it's many splits offs into the "True" and "Brigham Young inclusive" LDS Churches and separations into different churches) /
