Lori's BELIEFS:
*Lori believed she was a reincarnated deity, sent to Earth to prepare people for Jesus’ second coming. Lori was convinced she was eternally married to the Mormon prophet Moroni, Vallow’s attorney wrote in court filings recently unearthed by Fox 10 Phoenix, and also the grandmother of Mormon founder Joseph Smith.
Before they married, Lori and Chad appeared together on podcasts distributed by Preparing A People, a media company which touts the tagline, “Helping to prepare the people of this Earth for the second coming of Jesus Christ.”
Court documents refer to Lori as "Mother" and Charles as "Father". Charles said during a phone call in late January that Lori told him 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" read a portion of the documents.
Charles says in the documents that Lori threatened him, telling him she was a God preparing for christ's second coming in July 2020, and if he got in her way, she would murder him. Charles later got an Order of Protection.
The documents also show Charles trying to get help for Lori, but she refused because they would discover that she's a "translated being".
