Julie Rowe Explained

Julie Rowe
Nationality:American
Occupation:Author

Julie Rowe is an American author and a self-proclaimed clairvoyant.[1] She claims to have had a near-death experience in 2004, during which she also claims to have had visions pertaining to end-times events.[2] [3] Rowe published her account in a series of books.

A longtime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church), Rowe notably appealed to a Mormon audience. In 2015, she caused fears in some Mormon circles with her prediction that the world would end with the September lunar eclipse. The LDS Church responded by issuing a call for calm and stressing that it did not endorse Rowe's views.[4]

The LDS Church Education System placed Rowe's book A Greater Tomorrow on a list of "spurious materials" that was circulated to teachers of high-school seminaries and to college-age Institutes of Religion. The list stated:

"Although Sister Rowe is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, her book is not endorsed by the church and should not be recommended to students or used as a resource in teaching them. The experiences she shares are her own personal experiences and do not necessarily reflect Church doctrine".[5]

In the course of the 2010s, Rowe remained a very popular author and speaker among certain Mormon "extremist" circles, notably survivalist "preppers" who believed apocalypse to be imminent and worked to prepare for Christ's Second Coming. Claiming a close connection to the "spirit world" due to her near-death experience, Rowe predicted a foreign invasion of the United States, plagues and a massive economic collapse.[6]

In April 2019, Rowe was excommunicated from the LDS Church.[7]

In 2020, Rowe received further attention when Chad Daybell, her former publisher,[6] was arrested in connection with the murders of his wife and his lover's two children.[8] [9] [10] Rowe initially defended Daybell's character and said she was convinced of his innocence.[11] She later claimed Daybell had sexually assaulted her in 2018.[12]
