OMG--that last part! Lol. 😂

Its called Tithing Declaration now! Saying Tithing Settlement is a Victory for Satan against the Mormon Church! Oops...another victory scored...sorry.

Congrats on the tough task of escaping the Matrix Brother!

You addressed something so subtle here today. It is that we were taught every time we felt elevated emotion it meant the church was true. Even though it had nothing to do with it. I used to feel peace and joy during my daily nature walks. And that confirmed in my Mind the church was true. When in reality walking in nature just makes me feel happy and peaceful. The church always stole the credit.

If Joseph Smith's foundations were not solid, why worry about details of subsequent "prophets"? Former Mormons express concerns about their parents' loss of family members, in the celestial kingdom. If Joseph Smith is discredited, the celestial kingdom dissolves with him; he made it up. I'm even more surprised when people who are excommunicated keep following directives from church officials about what they can and can't do or wear or donate to. Joseph Smith could not have expected all this to last for 200 years, if he thought Jesus was about to come again. It seems, from what I've heard from questioning Mormons, that Joseph Smith wanted a free house and a bunch of sex, while people were waiting for Jesus to come and sort things out. He would not have done well, under most people's beliefs about the final judgment.

Since Nate didn't answer my question about what he substituted the church with I'm going to assume he's now worshiping artificial intelligence, seeing as how he has no intelligence.

Bishops Nathan Hinkley. You and two other excommunicated Bishops were on a panel with John D. Your presentation was the pivatol point of my life when I started my real deconstructed process after being excommunicated, and rebaptized ... followed by many more years of spiritual pain, shunning, etc. I felt joy finding out I wasn't alone. I am enjoying your podcasts and want to thank you. I can identify with being a woman in the LDS "Mormon" church and it's soul destructing double standard process. I am a retirering psychotherapist, a grateful recovering Mormon/Latterday Saint. As a young covert, I jumped from the frying pan and into the fire. Thank you, again. You are a gift.

I think people try to make God this hard thing that you have to accomplish…. And I don’t believe that.! God always came down on everybody else’s level he met them where they were broken into pieces! You are righteous you don’t need me! That’s what he said that’s what he repeated. Nobody is set above or beyond anybody else I wasn’t looking for you today but I found you because I’ve been praying to God. I’ve never been treated as well as I’ve been treated by this church ever in my life I’m 71 years old. I want to believe badly that the Mormon church is the church but like you I find it difficult to lie to myself God is simple yes only one thing that you believe in him and love him with all your heart and strive every day to be like him. It’s that simple.

Brilliant conversation with 2 brilliant women! You GO girls! 🎉

I’m wondering if it’s a problem? Or confirmation.? don’t get me wrong. I’m no expert. I am new to the Mormon church. I was raised Pentecostal Baptist catholic Methodist Lutheran never Mormon what brought me to church was family….There is goodness and wholeness! I’ve just been unable to swallow that Joseph Smith found these plates and wrote down the book of Mormon. He could’ve been a very firm believer in God he could’ve been a good man. Maybe he felt that was the only way to get people to follow. I don’t know sometimes and I go in circles about all this. Which tells me I know the truth. Right even though I don’t wanna admit it.

Absolutely Best Kept Secret. Coffee really does taste terrible. The only way it is good is loaded up with cream and sugar. That's why coffee flavored ice cream and coffee flavored candy are popular.

What a brilliant, inspiring presentation. If only I believed in god, I would thank him for YOU 😀

Born and raised in the lds church, left in 2020, and feel as though there isn't a God, that's its all make believe.

I wasn't expecting that ending! Great episode. If more tithing "declarations" were like this, with the brutal honesty, more people would wake up and walk away from the corporation masked as a religion with the restored gospel!!!!!

I remember my mom sell our refrigerator and couch to pay tithing. It was so ingrained in me. I was in my teens and had paid rent no money left. I took a necklace my grandma gave me. It had a silver dollar in it. I took it apart and paid tithing with it.

Love the shorts ❤

Nope, God can't do any of that stuff like create the earth, or destroy the earth. Why would I believe that? Why would I believe anything for that matter? Doesn't make any sense to me. Everything must have just put itself in motion

Hard but easy !!! Joe Smit was a damn fraud and a con man!! He is the cult (house of cards). He is a shame and a sham ... IT ALL FALLS THE MINUTE YOU KNOW HIS DOINGS! SICK AND TERRIBLE CULT ... EXPOSE IT... RESIGN FROM IT... DON'T JUGGLE JUST RESIGN OFF BOOKS FOR A REAL LIFE. 99.888% of all mankind run from this cult !! humm🕕🕕

Why in the world would they send a missionary to salt lake where everyone is mormon

How invasive, why people have to know what you are doing with your genitals?

You all should contact the US Government and let them know the LDS is HOARDING money and the Temples are not open to public for worship.

Please tell the next Brothers and Sisters that HOARDING money is a reason for the LDS to loose their TAX EXEMPT status in the US. In England, the LDS is not Tax Exempt because the Temples are not open to the public.

It’s great to know the church is still making the women the victims and excommunicating them rather than the pedophiles,child molesters, sexual abusers and all the former church leaders involved extramarital lesions. It’s not the man’s fault it’s the women, we got that!

I've been recently wanting to get closer to jesus and God the father. I am a baptized member of the church but was away from the church for yrs and wanted to reconnect with it but now watching your video I can't in good faith follow a religion where a man took advantage of so many women and young girls. I agree I should let go of denominations and follow my heart and not the flawed views of these prophets. It just breaks my heart that so much of this faith is built on dark secrets. Also, the arrogance of how we view ourselves as the be all end all is what drove me away in the past. I hope God blesses you and your family and that you've truly found peace.

As a Baptist who has witnessed to Mormons who say that how can I believe what the Bible says without a prophet to tell me what it says. I’ve remarked to them that the Catholic Church says the same that I need a priest to tell me what the Bible says so who should I believe and it’s always just pray about it and ask God for the answer. And I say and if God says you’re both wrong what then? They say well we know that we have true prophets.

Great Stuff guys... helping so... so... so many! HONESTY... CARING... FEELINGS... LOVE... PRIDE.. SMARTS... BRAVE HEROS! (please resign from a cult of fraud and make the real statement ... hard but it gets so so so much better after you do it) All the Best!

I look forward to your episode of Mormon Stories.

That would be my answer too about when I prayed to know what to do and which Church to take my family to. I think it was a coincidence that the Mormon missionaries knocked on my door at that moment. I think that most mormons would disagree but most other religions would agree with me. If it had been someone from their church though, then it would have been an answer. Confirmation bias.

Bishop, your filter broke and your inside voice has escaped and started spreading common sense to all. 😂😂

I was in an oppressive cult in my youth. After I got out I was bitter and became atheistic for a while. But it dawned on me that I was judging God on the basis of what I had experienced in the cult. I took me a while to realize that that man was not God, nor was a reasonable facsimile of God. Therefore whether I was to believe or disbelieve had to be totally separated from my experiences.

Wow. So insightful.

OMG, the bishop isn't wearing garments! 😯

The key to getting answers from God is to be open to the answer. You have free will and God will not violate that even if you ask. You need to ask God and tell him to show you where you are blocking him. God also has his time and that is rarely your time. God may keep you somewhere until the time is appropriate. Then and then only then will he have you somewhere else until the time is appropriate. Life is a journey; let God love you. Embrace the awkwardness of not getting your answer by embracing God. (Also God usually speaks in parables). The simplest way to enjoy life is: Let God love you everyday. That is success. Enjoy your journey.

God is real we should never give up on God . The lds church is false But that doesn’t make God any less true . I’m new to your channel I really love what you have to say ❤ I think we get into that mindset over the years that what we believe is the absolute truth so when people start deconstructing they throw everything out including God . I had a difficult time with my diconstruction and I know that I was led to a podcast that has been life changing ) opening up our understanding and broadening our learning can open doors that have been closed . There’s a whole beautiful world out there with Beautiful people who all have differing beliefs But the church keeps people locked in a box And over time we come to believe that thier is no other way , we know that that is not true but we don’t see it while we are living it . I highly recommended moment -“Let’s get biblical “ by Rabbi Tovia Singer these books have been life changing It’s just been a god send And we need to open up ourselves enough so that we can connect the dots For a wonderful Happy authentic life , putting Gods wisdom first and then loving people with all hearts and letting our light shine !!!! Thanks brother for shedding g Light on these difficult conversations Happy Holidays 🎄🎄🎄

The Mormon Church only has $150 billion at Ensign Peak. How can they afford anything?

I don’t understand the problem- even if the church is not the one and only true church - it still doesn’t have anything to do with Gods existence. God was here long before the Mormon church and people in other churches and religions also have miracles and spiritual experiences. God meets us where we are.

Coffee alone tastes like drinking the water after you washed your socks in it. Adding sweeteners or flavorings is the only way to do it. It basically becomes coffee flavored sweet drinks.

I literally MEMORIZED Truman’s lectures on Joseph Smith. And I was incredibly disappointed when I discovered his perspective was solely Brighamite propaganda, severely incomplete and in many cases incorrect.

LOL. Awesome. Your mantel gets heavier with the weight of kids' donated pennies. Thanks, Bishop, for all you do! 😂

So you telling me all the church wants is $$$$$😂😅😅 and you're be bless. Been out 14 plus years.

Excellent interview. I am not a Mormon, but I have enjoyed listening to your story. Nothing happens without a reason, and I am sure those reasons will show themselves to you each. And I can relate Nathan to the heart procedure, because after passing out at church one evening, I had a complete heart block and had to have a pacemaker implanted. A year later to try to find out why I had the heart block, they did the same heart procedure that Nathan had, and I was having that same conversation with my cardiologist, and he found a 70% block in my LAD, and had two stents put in place. So I was like yeah been there done that. Well God Bless to both of you thank you for sharing your stories.

This was so heart warming and wonderful to hear!

I order for exmos, newmos, andTBMs to have a rational effective conversation the TBMs must first spend hundreds of hours expanding their knowledge and correcting their misconceptions. Believe so many things which are verifiably false that it really is an entirely different world view. I know this because I have personally experienced both conditions.

The gatekeeping around spending the churches money to run the churches programs is also super crazy....cause full paying tithed members are seeking to get rich off of thier calling to the youth or activity days. They don't need anything possibly upfront to be able to do activities.

I had a bishop suggest selling some of my clothing and blankets to raise money for food so I could continue to pay tithing.

All religions might have simular experiences, but not all religions have the Book of Mormon. I prayed about it nany years ago, determined it is true, have studied it well beyond confirmation bias, and still belueve in its truthfullness. I don’t need to continue to say generalizrd prayers about the truthfullness of ‘the church’

Sorry that this man chose to talk his way out of embracing the truth.

“I’ve been Mormon all my life”! 😂

I’m a life long member of the LDS church and I also have wrestled with a lot of the history of the church off and on but I keep coming back to the conclusion that my faith is not in the arm of flesh but in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. So instead of focusing on all of the negative history of men I try to shift my focus to only the things that will strengthen my faith in Jesus Christ and do my best to follow Him. This means I have to tune out a lot of the emotions and feelings and strive to align my moral compass toward God. At the end of the day I know that I’m only accountable for my own sins. I do agree that we have to be careful to not confuse emotions with the Holy Spirit. Some times in prayer if I rephrase my prayer I receive an answer. I also know that God has the power to reach us in many ways. Even Jesus Christ spoke parables to the Jews in things that were familiar to them. In other words we can hear truth in however the Lord can reach us individually. God Bless.
