Mormon boys are really polite and kind with a charming shyness. and they do not appear to be prejudiced like most religions. and are very intelligent for learning different languages. and very dedicated for walking so much. and they are beautiful
Boy, are you WRONG lol. A. Mormons are incredibly prejudice, despite the whole mission thing. You’d think they’d be tolerant and accepting if others but they’re NOTA. B. Most missionaries actually struggle learning their language for their mission location. There’s quite a lot of Mormons who never learn how to fluently speak the language.
Really, you should read church history. They did not allow black bishops in their church until 1978, and they were forced. To allow black bishop by law. 2 Nephi 5:21-23 in the Book of Mormon for reference to passage use to justify their what was and has been seen as anti-black stance with regards to black bishops which they have never apologise for.
Update: missionaries can now call their families once a week, the dress code is a bit more relaxed, and they have smartphones now too. I disagree with the guy in this video, the excitement does wear off (I served in Mexico City and Las Vegas), and this video makes missionaries look like boring robots, when they are normal, good-natured people.
I want to thank all you missionaries that have served the Lord Jesus Christ, now and in the past and in the future. If it was not for you taking the time out of your life planting the seed to help make this a better world to live in. Thank you for your hard work and service planting the seeds throughout the the world. No one would know anything about Jesus Christ and his great sacrifice. With your faith, keep planting the seeds that way we won't have so many ignorant people in the world. God bless you and your families. If we had more young men like you helping and teaching the people about Jesus Christ. I believe it would be less anger, depression, murders, theft, dishonest people and many other things like gang shootings. Keep teaching the great gift of repentance. Repentance will heal the mind and the Heart much faster then Pharmaceuticals can.
@@Alone_UpperFrogsually the only other mission one would serve after a full-time one before marriage, is to serve as a couple missionary with your spouse! And that’s usually many years after a couple’s children have grown up and gotten married themselves. Im sure it’s fun serving with your husband/wife, though but who knows
@@Alone_UpperFrog You can ask to extend your mission depending on the needs of the area. If you go out as an older couple missionary, you can submit your application multiple times until you are physically unable to do so. I know a few couple missionaries who've gone more than twice just serving locally and abroad.
I had a couple of Mormons at my front door a few years ago, they were actually a couple of really cool guys! They stayed for a BBQ since we were throwing a dinner party, and my (now) ex husband being a former Baptist missionary... Was actually good times! They completely respected my conviction in my differing beliefs, and didn't force any "crap" down my throat... In fact they came back to hang out some more!
If everyone has their own religion, does that mean that all other religions are BS or are they true too? Why must there be more than on religion? Either you believe in the magical holy deity (the grumpy old man in the sky) or you do not.
@@lawrencepascasio2076 This statement has zero value. Religion is man-made to keep the masses in line. I am just asking - which religion/cult is the only "correct" one?
@@foxesruler religion is way of belief, religion is way of life, so if your comfortable with your current way of practice, you should be happy and proud, it's about person not someone else telling them what is right.
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Bible prophecies are continuing to be fulfilled. Life and love are miracles from God each day.
It sounds like you need new glasses. It looks like these two young men know what they want to do in life. Teaching people about how to bring joy and happiness through the teachings of the savior Jesus Christ , I think that is a worthy idea . At least they are not laying around doing nothing like most of the kids their age. Setting home watching television smoking dope, playing video games all day. This world would be a better place to live if we had more people teaching others about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is good news!👌
@@leswalker2639 yeah these guys aren't morons, their intention is good, but wether the effect they have is as well is an other question entirely. Generally you want as few people as possible to believe in something that is rationally implausible. What you want is for people to be able to judge what actually is plausible, and why acting in accordance to what you believe go be most plausibly true is the best way to act. Young people staying at home smoking weed don't do that either ofc. You could argue that the mormon church is wasting these guy's potential on something that is destructive in the long term, when without they church they might be just as industrious, but would work on something that actually has impact on people's lives beyond belief in a dogma.
Gregg Hanson well... No my friend. My mind said this is the best thing that I must do. You know what I tried hard to find the truth. I used to join the Buddhism of Chinese; the Protestants nearby my house with a little house. This is hard and finally I found it. I just know the the right things are from God God is Jesus Christ, and I have the testimonies! Even what you are God always be there seeing you. If you just trust on him trust by your heart then your problems will be solved! Love you buddy 🌹 (forgive my English)
@@gregghanson6095 you had no testimony in the first place to sustain you. You probably got a trial that didnt fit what you look for in a religion. We grow outside our comfort zone and trials. Not when we receive trials and quit.
@@YourMuvva youre very presumptuous, a trait of Mormonism everywhere. You have no idea who I am or what "trials" I've had. What I learned is that religion is not the answer to anyone's trials. It's an excuse for avoiding your own self. Brain washing.
@@gregghanson6095 so what about people who smoke or drink or do drugs? Isn't that called avoiding your own self? Isn't that brainwashing? I think you're just angry at life in general. You cant have everything served to you on a silver platter mate
I’m not a Mormon, but I admire the faith or Mormons very much. I always stop to speak to them, if they know at my door, I’ll speak to them, offer food and water and they can even use the bathroom if they need to. They are very respectful and kind people. Very brave people!
I have also let them in and they are very kind. Sometimes I even flag them down when I see them. They seem to always have a glow around them even sister missionaries and you can feel the love. That's what I love. I think that's what attracts me to them in the beginning. Hang in there missionaries we love you. And thank you for your sacrifice. I don't think he would ever see them under a shade tree in the Vineyard of Christ.
They help my dad with yard work if he desperately needs his lawn mowed. I might not agree eye-to-eye on their scriptures, but I appreciate how willing they are to help those in need, and put in effort to practice what they preach. I always take the time to talk to Mormons, but refuse to give the time of day to a Jehova’s Witness.
@@SalmaBchr pie, no that is not true. We love all Races. The Church of Jesus Christ is worldwide. Not only that if the Church of Jesus Christ was racist why would so many countries be part of the church. I believe there is over 50000 young man and women serving a a full time emission. The missionaries Finance their own missions. Sure the parents sometimes have to help our missionaries with money. I myself will donate money to their mission to serve the Lord. Not to boast of these things . Not only that they are doing nothing different than the 12 apostles when Jesus was alive in the Bible. Like the Lord said love one another as I have loved you. This is the higher law we must all live if possible. Some people have a real hard time living that law. I would not speak out against these people if I did not care about you . That means we all have to love one another like we love ourselves and our neighbors. You can see there are some I want mansion on this website they refuse to live the law ,It doesn't matter what skin color you are still a son or daughter of God. The Lord is about love only , if we cannot love we are not one of His sheep. The Lord is the Good Shepherd that will lead his sheep pet safety if they will follow Him . But we do have a lot of followers that hate the church for whatever reason. It is their choice. They are pretty vicious with their tongue when they lying and constantly criticize. I rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ ! The main thing they are trying to do is chase people away from the Lord and His gospel. So they spread rumors and lies constantly. I really believe they are evil atheist just like some of these disgraceful comments. They will go as far as calling themselves a Christian and a Christian does not do that. You will always know people by their words whether they be good or evil. It is their choice to be evil speakers. They will even bring up scriptures and accuse the church and monk the things of Jesus Christ. The Lord said those who mock are fools and they will be destroyed . These are the type of people that crucified our Lord Jesus Christ . We all know these people that bring up the scriptures to disrupt the church, if you read their scriptures it can make a little bit of sense until the whole chapter is read ,it does not say what they claim. The Bible contradicts what they say even though they bring up a few other scriptures that mean something else. These people are more like atheist and cannot stand Jesus Christ. The church is over 16 million strong and is one of the fastest growing churches in the world. They are still trying to crucify this wonderful Church which Bears the name of Jesus Christ. As far as I know it is the only Church of Jesus Christ in the world. It is clear in the Bible also that this is what all the Lord's churches should be named. It even talks about this church in Isaiah chapter 29 and 30 and so many other places in the Bible. I would never go to one of those hateful churches that some of those hateful people speak on our website. No Christian speaks evil against the Church of Jesus Christ. If you are not edified by the words that is spoken, and the behalf of Jesus Christ, then those words are in vain if you do not think about them later and pondered them in your heart. We all have to do our own research in life and I would hope that you would do your research and know the truth when you find it. It is real hard to find truth when you have other people giving their opinions. The truth is not someone's opinion. If you want to know the truth you will pray for understanding and ask God with real intent with faith in the name of Jesus Christ and it will be revealed I can promise that. The Lord has promised in the Bible in many different places, has said , ask and you will receive knock and the door will be open to you. This is the only way you can find truth when the Holy Ghost reveals it to you and then you will never be able to deny the truth once you hear it. If you never ask you will never receive truth I am not trying to convert you just wanted you to know that these evil tongues do not serve the Lord Jesus Christ. I speak the truth about to Lord's Church. All I can do is pray for the evil speakers that one day their hearts will be softened. And come to Christ with Open Hearts and Minds. In the name of Jesus Christ I speak to these words! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify the word of Jesus Christ and the difference between the things of evil speakers! Many of these evil speakers give me the opportunity to even Bear My Testimony and I thank them for that. I know the Lord Jesus Christ was beaten and bruised and nailed on the cross and after 3 days our Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered dearly for every single person that will believe in Him and follow Him. The Book of Mormon is the true word of God just like the Bible! The Doctrine and Covenants clarify many Revelations given to the people that follow Him. I can promise you if you seek you will find the truth and nothing but the truth in the name of Jesus Christ ,amen!
There is no physical evidence that Jesus was ever in America. The fact that they think (though not mentioned here) they can become gods is EXACTLY what the serpent said to Adam and Eve.
lajmh If the serpent used only blatant lies, then he would not be so beguiling. The tempter uses half truths to tempt people. He says something true and adds in lies. After the serpent said this, he said that she would not surely die. This is what I believe was the lie. After Adam and Eve had eaten of the fruit, God said they had "become as one of us" suggesting that a process of approaching godliness was underway.
lajmh There are many other scriptures that indicate this. Jesus said "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus commanded His disciples to become “perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” In turn, the Apostle Peter referred to the Savior’s “exceeding great and precious promises” that we might become “partakers of the divine nature.” The Apostle Paul taught that we are “the offspring of God” and emphasized that as such “we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.” An heir is one who inherits the position and title of another. The book of Revelation contains a promise from Jesus Christ that “to him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” These passages can be interpreted in different ways. Yet by viewing them through the clarifying lens of revelations received by Joseph Smith, Latter-day Saints see these scriptures as straightforward expressions of humanity’s divine nature and potential.
The word Jain comes from a word meaning to 'overcome' or to 'conquer'. But what exactly? There is perhaps much in common with LDS, but Jainism seems to have vision of spirituality far beyond LDS and perhaps most religions. So, here are the basics of the Jain religion. Seems to require much, much more than the LDS faith. How much are you ready to 'overcome'? www.jainworld.com/philosophy/fundamentals.asp What is interesting is that there are 24 tirthankaras in the jain religion. Some have compared the 4 and 20 elders to these tirthankaras. www.jainworld.com/education/juniors/junles03.htm Revelations 4:4 . Jain murti are often viewed being literally crowned with a gold crown. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2d/0a/7d/2d0a7d9f57142e925979e530559527ee.jpg Its amazing the description of a tirthankara, and those that have achieved a high state of spiritual development.
Cathy Cool I agree. I'm Catholic too, and a few summers ago I meet some Mormon missionaries and I learned a lot from them including respect. We are even still fb friends and keep it touch we even meet up when they're back in town, it think it's pretty and thats what life should be about learning from one another and loving one another
Oh, they aren't. They are hurting and seeking, and they are deceived. But, get a personal relationship with Jesus Christ amen. They are deceived by doing everything out of their will rather than by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Praise Jesus.
@@MrYeet-ip4qj I feel like I’ve been doing everything out of my will. Long story but it’s comments like yours that make me want to just let the Holy Spirit work but I feel like I’ve been ignoring Him too much that He left.
Respect each other's beliefs. Faith is the only thing constant. We only need a little of it, atleast the size of a mustard seed, then action all the way.
Y all bashing on Mormons, but how many of you have actually heard what they have to say? If you are a smart person, and you want to know the truth, then just listen to them and decide for yourself. Don't judge a book by its cover. Dont judge the Mormons because of what these people tell you, do it when the Mormons have told you themselves
Kanye West I have. I went the whole nine yards (albeit I never consented to a baptism, nor became a member). I went to several of their sacrament meetings and one of their biannual stake conferences. I read the Book of Mormon, went through both of their websites, and studied with 12 missionaries one on one (with as many as 4 at one time). Now, I have experienced other religions to the same degree and so have this to say about Mormonism: Its dull, neither enlightening, nor rational; it is one of the most religious religions I have ever faced. Don't take my word for it; go attend their sacrament meetings and conferences and study with a few Mormons. Try having a debate with them. Granted, you may get something out of their meetings; you never know. I cannot speak for you; I can only speak for myself and I say: how about no?
+Kanye West well i just heard about how Mormons are ex-communicating everyone who identifies as gay. But that's not the worst part, it's that they are not only barring homosexuals from the church but also there kids whether there adopted or natural. And once they are 18 they can join back into the church after they disavow same-sex marriage which if they should chose to come back is just a big bitch slap to the people who raised the child. I'm not judging you based on what they said above, i'm judging you based on the backward moral values the the Mormon church promotes and the members of the church that agree with it.
And because it is so amazing, we get to share it with others so that they have the opportunity to have what we have. And if you or anyone else does not want to hear that message, we respect that.
These Missionaries tried to convert me to Mormonism but I told them I didn't want to convert. BUT I asked them if they could come over every Saturdays just so that I can learn about them:)
Prazer irmão aqui é o Eliseu da igreja Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias e eu quero que os irmão Ore por mim para eu permanecer na igreja e o irmão Elias e vocês orem eu sou aqui da Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos últimos dias Maceió Alagoas e sou membro uma honra e a igreja ao todo todos os domingo ouvir a reunião da igreja funcionário dando palestra sobre O Livro de Mórmon amém
I am not LDS but respect these folks. They are good people. I believe only the Savior can make the final ruling on if they have enough of the gospel or not. They believe in the Atonement of Christ. I am hopeful for them.
Bro!! I just got back from Dallas, Spanish speaking mission. Watch out for Oak Cliff!! haha keep your head down and watch out for drive by's. Have fun!
No, I am not affiliated with LDS any more. And I think LDS like it that way. No, I actually moved forward in life, something that I wasn't allowed to do while LDS.
Your way, way off. I no drug addiction or anything like that. I don't think I could have finished the program I did if I was LDS. Maybe it is irrational, but not everything is rational.
As a Catholic, I respect their mission to evangelize people into a faith in Jesus Christ. However, I don't need them forcing themselves to convert people into Mormons. Two phone calls a year and $10,000 to go for this rite of passage... I almost feel sorry for these people.
Coming to Christ? Why do you even believe in something like that? Is it not just make-believe? Wishful thinking? Nobody alive today has ever seen neither Jesus or God or any other deity. Only delusional thinking...
I'm a Mormon and a return missionary(I did a two-year mission in Texas) and I was pleased with how accurate this is. One comment I will make is that a mission isn't really a rite of passage. Missionaries who go out door-to-door while living strict standards become discouraged more easily than missionaries who are out there because of their faith. However besides that small misunderstanding I can't emphasize how pleased I was with the accuracy. Most TV shows are biased against or for Mormons.
I was given a personal tour by Mormons on a visitors' day in a city I was visiting once. It had more of a feel of a museum center than a community place, and I felt like I was treading on eggshells asking questions with the guy and gal. You could see it was a mixture of anxiety that I would question their beliefs, but also a genuine and kind enthusiasim in affording me insight into them. Overall, I took a pamphlet, let them have my email but not my cell number. I could not help but feel a slight aggression in trying to force me into their beliefs, despite the fact I explicitly said I came just to learn, but at the same time, they were aggressively nice and polite too, more so than most other people i meet daily. They might have a few principles which grates against people's sense of personal space, but they are a genuinely kind and generous people in every other aspect, and I really liked learning about their culture and customs.
Corrina, you speak the truth. It is no abduction by aliens at all. So, the Book of Mormon is still fascinating. Even the Bible alluded/pointed out that Jesus would appear outside Israel. The faithful Nephites and Lamanites waited for over six hundred years for it to happen.
@Cory Slade "They choose if they join"! What a load of horse dung that is! I was told, years ago, when I was looking into the cult, that if I DIDN'T join their little cult sect, I would go to hell! I was ignorant of God's word at that time. THEN, they didn't tell me that their little god was once a human, and that he had to go to a school of learning to learn what he knows now, and that he, with his physical body made up of flesh and bone, came to earth, supposedly had physical sex with the Mother of Jesus, and her husband just stood there and watched? THAT SICK AND BLASPHEMOUS! That's outright BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST! And they call themselves, CHRISTIAN! I feel an evil presence when I pass by their church! I try to go around the block, rather than pass by in front of it. And then, on Sunday, to see these poor deluded people, leading their children they are teaching the lie to, march into the church! TRULY SAD! Teaching their children lies instead of the truth! SHAMEFUL INDEED!
@@valuecalc The "faithful Nephites and Lamanites" who were supposedly waited for over six hundred years NEVER EXISTED! No Archiological evidence has ever been found, TO DATE, that proves that they ever existed! NONE! ZILCH! NADA! This is proof that the Book of Mormon is a fake, and NOT "another gospel of Jesus Christ", but another fairy tale from the false prophet, Joseph Smith Jr. PERIOD!
sir hood , I have heard that, too. But was the world truly flooded? How could all these races come out of Noah's family? Even the Book of Mormon alluded to how certain things would never be found again.
I have several Mormon friends but they don't call themselves Mormons that's just what the public cause them. Maybe people need to use the right name. That's like your name is Ricky but everybody calls you Roy. It sounds like you're talking about two different people. They are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are great people. I feel very comfortable around them. I'm looking into the church now. It seems like they have more of the Gospel of Jesus Christ then most other churches believe. It always seems like other churches stumble and trip over their words and Doctrine. With much of the false Doctrine going on, there would be more churches I would think, maybe later. No wonder many people stay away from churches, I did for a long time because of that reason. Like the trinity there is no such thing even in the Bible. I knew that already. that is false Doctrine. Jesus is very clear when he speaks. You know the one that hung on the cross and suffered for our sins.
I've heard of people saying that Mormon missionarys are brain washed and how sorry everyone feels for them. I will tell you this. The church of Jesus Christ is true, god has blessed us with the Truth on this Earth. For I know that God is real and he loves us and knows us. These men are righteous, and happy to know these things. I am happy that they know what they are doing is right. The church of Jesus Christ is true, and if you ever give it a chance and seek it with true intent. You will feel God's love for you.
Utu Fatiaki If I looked under a microscope at my flesh, blood, and bones I would notice that there are animal cells, and those animal cells are made up of organelles. The grass and trees are made of plant cells, growing as a result of photosynthesis. The sky is full of atoms, refracting light from the sun and reflecting blue light. These are the result of evolution and other processes discovered. Science has explained these phenomena perfectly, so I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. The history of humans, Earth, and the universe has no space for a “creator” unless the creator is the Big Bang.
I pray for those in Louisiana & anyone who encounters anyone from the Mormon religion. I pray they are not misled. Do the missionaries tell them what your prophet claimed in his false doctrines? Do the missionaries even know? Your living (and past) prophets have made corrections to the Book of Mormon, the "most correct book", the most correct translation that has had thousands of changes. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon into English through the gift and power of God. He said that it is "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book" (History of the Church, 4:461). Yet, the book which Joseph Smith declared was "the most correct of any book on earth" (History of the Church, vol. 4, p. 461) has been revised in over 3900 places (3913 Changes in the Book of Mormon by Jerald and Sandra Tanner) . This does not sound like the most correct. For those who don't know about your living prophets. “We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands, by those who are in authority to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.” (Articles of Faith 1:5.) A prophet, then, is the authorized representative of the Lord. While the world may not recognize him, the important requirement is that God speaks through him. A prophet is a teacher. He receives revelations from the Lord. These may be new truths or explanations of truths already received. So here's another correction from the Book of Mormon, the most correct translation: Before 1978 dark-skinned males were not allowed to hold positions of priesthood authority within the Mormon church. Today Mormon "most correct" scriptures continue to teach that dark skin is a curse from God and a sign of His displeasure (1 Nephi 12:23; 2 Nephi 5:21; Alma 3:6). Brigham Young, second president and prophet of the LDS church referred to those with dark skin as being "cursed with a s[k]in of blackness" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, p. 272). "Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 110).
Your prophet Joseph Smith is a false prophet. Your living and past prophets are false prophets. 20 "But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ 21 "And you may say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ 22 "When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy 18:20-22) False prophecies from your false prophet Joseph Smith: - Jesus’ return within 56 years (History of the Church, vol. 2, p. 189) - The temple would be built in Missouri within Smith’s Generation (Doctrines and Covenants 84:2-5,31) - All Nations would be involved in the American Civil War (Doctrine and Covenants 87:1-3) - Isaiah 11 was about to be fulfilled (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith, History, verse 40) The ONLY living prophet is the Biblical Jesus Christ (Hebrew 13:5) , the ONLY god. For those who do not know, Mormons believe in the plurality of gods. "In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 5). You believe the 10 commandments are true, right? The first commandment says, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). More contradiction. Another false claim from the apostle Bruce McConkie, “Thus those who gain eternal life receive exaltation. . . They are gods.” (Mormon Doctrine, pg. 237). Another false claim from Joseph Smith, “Here then is eternal life - to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God the same as all Gods have done before you” (Journal of Discourses 6:4; TPJS p.346 ). Why do LDS waste their time with Jesus when they have their own prophets? LDS believe they can one day become a god like their brother Jesus. The Mormon Jesus is your brother and you can one day be exalted like him. That's blasphemy. My Jesus of the only true Bible is our ONLY one true God (Isaiah 44:6). Do you believe in Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ? Your prophet Joseph Smith on May 26, 1844 boasted, "I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." (History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 408-409 Address of the Prophet - His Testimony Against the Dissenters at Nauvoo)
Mormonism is full of anachronisms, contradiction and false prophecies, far from correct. Information is easily accessible on the internet. Find the truth, read the Bible. Test the Bible, test your church. Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1) With love & sincerity
I have a Mormon church down the road from me. They have tried stopping me several times over the years. But I can spot them a mile now and if I can't cross the road to avoid them I just power walk past them, refusing to make eye contact, while loudly shouting "I'm an atheist", over and over to drown out their attempts at greeting me. I swear, it is easier getting rid of herpes than it is a Mormon on a mission.
My mom's friend's oldest son served as a missionary for the Mormon Church after high school, he says they don't go door to door trying to convert people anymore. At that point, they just meandered around in public politely striking up conversations with passers-by to get new converts.
This pandemic, I've been meeting 2 missionaries through video call. And all I can say is, they are really kind, respectful, and handsome individuals who really loves God. Please, let them go inside of your house. They are harmless. P.S. I'm not a Mormon.
It looks like these missionaries are good examples to the Christian people . They are living the Commandments and the principles of Jesus Christ . Well if you're not going to work in the vineyard you just stay under the shade tree see what happens. Jesus said in the parable .You're a slothful servant. Get out and earn your keep. You must be one of those welfare Christians. That set on the bench.
One of the things I remember one of the parables of Jesus Christ about working in the His Vineyard. Jesus Christ expects all of us to work in the vineyard not lay around under a shade tree and expect the same blessings. There is a lot of slothful servants working in the vineyard. Too bad so sad! I want to be better than what I am so I'm working for more blessings and I have received so much more blessings then what I Really Deserve, it is wonderful, wonderful to me.
My son is on a mission. It was his choice to go. Not so much a right of passage. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God" Can you think of a better way for a young man to start out his Clean life? Better then doing drugs, drinking, joining gangs, causing distructive mischief. I talked to a policeman once he said at that age a mission is a real good thing! Teaching people how to get closer to the Savior is a wonderful thing! It Saves lives!
How about going to school and getting a education? How about contributing to his local community through service or working. For you to raise him in this organization, only cripples him, it only prepares him to live in a community that thinks, acts and believes the same. It does not prepare him for reality it does not give him a moral foundation. If anything, it probably only reaffirms your personal beliefs, which is exploitative. Also I don't really know how much choice you can contribute to him, when you have Mormon prophets mandating that 18 year old boys to go, there's more social pressure to participate in a mission, than anything else. You are destroying your son, so very sad to see.
Or you can so something that is both useful and get paid, it's called military service. BOTH prophets Thomas S Monson and Russell M Nelson served in the military rather than on an LDS mission. You get paid, you get valuable job experience and unlike a mission, looks great on a job resume. I'm sorry but serving an LDS mission is the biggest waste of time in the world, I never served and I have absolutely NO regrets of not doing so, I have the same priesthood, the same temple recommend and the exact same temple marriage as a return missionary except I didn't waste my time and money out in the mission field, and I have a six figure salary and a brand new home thanks to an interest free VA home loan. In short my life is great because I served my country instead of serving a mission and I wouldn't have it any other way. FYI sister missionaries have greater success because the public actually listens to their message by letting their guard down over elders. I encourage MORE women to serve TWO YEAR missions over a shorter one.

All our works are as filthy rags. Christ, the real Christ, came to set us free from the bondage of religion.
Such great blessings come when serving. I did my mission years ago, from 1987-1989, then 2 service missions. One in 2000 and the other in 4016. Now getting all my paper work done to a senior mission.
I enjoy the moment of discovery when Mormons realize that something they've been taught in church does not agree with something in church-published books. I want others to know the happness that I've discovered, and have made it a bit of a project to share the truth with as many Mormons as I can. Plus, I enjoy debating the issues and learning the deeper doctrines and exploring the vast and unknown world of Mormonism that isn't in the lesson manuals.
Well Ford old buddy old pal. It sounds like you know a lot but no you don't if you knew Christ he was organized and always organized. Truth is truth it's all on the table for the whole world to see. Sounds like you're mad because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is all over the world. Why do you think they have so many members belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ. And you make it sound like you have great information. You're just fooling others and yourself because you really sound like a idiot because you want to debate the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is called satanism. You sound like a fool in the scriptures with all due respect. Don't be mad because you only have a couple churches. That's if you go to church.
Being a missionary is a great responsibility! A missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop written by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical tips for learning foreign language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book provides answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!
Being a Mormon its a lot like being a policeman, you never go without a partner, you take care for each other and you try to help the people, the problem is that most of the people doesn’t want to be helped.
God Bless them, I'm a Latter- Day Saint ( nickname Mormon) after a Prophet in The Book of Mormon, I wish so many more would listen to the Missionaries and what they are trying to say. We are Christians and try to do our best by living the commandments and the word of wisdom, no alcohol, smoking, drugs, If you think about it that makes a great deal of sense and some of these things can lead to addiction and hardship, I feel so blessed been 40 years since I joined the Church and i can truly say that it is the best thing i have ever done. The Bible and The Book of Mormon go hand in hand and both testify that Jesus is The Christ. If you can please spare some time i urge you to please read The Book of Mormon or at least some and pray about it ask God our Heavenly Father it it is true. but with a sincere heart. It really is true,

Thank you. I understand you think i am an ignorant 17 year old. But I've been aware of all this for quit a while. And i understand where you are coming from. Really, I know, you are worried about me and my ignorance. But sir, sometimes even when you see all the facts, there's something else, and that is the spirit. And I can't deny what i've felt and experienced, and regardless of anything, the church assists me in becoming a better person in general, not just spiritually.

I am a member of church of Jesus of Latter day Saints and i just want to say that why don't you try out the church and learn about it first before you say anything then you decide whether it is true or not because there is a lot of false information around the internet just remember that
There are plenty of people who have taken the time to learn about your church, and have sought out the facts. Perhaps if you did too, you wouldn't be a member still.
There's Mormons that go around my town there decent people. I always see them giving money or buying food for the homeless people. There was a gas leak a few years ago 5 houses blew up and the neighbourhood was evacuated, the Mormon church was the first place to open at 3 in the morning. Within a couple of hours everyone affected had food and somewhere hot to wait.
Not only did I refuse to serve an LDS mission, I chose to use my money and time by not doing so. I was able to finish college early, and use the $20,000 it would have costed to serve a mission by starting a business that employs others. NONE of the first presidency (Thomas S. Monson, Henry B Eyering, or Dieter Uchtdorf, all military veterans) EVER served a mission, Neither did eight of the twelve quarum of the twelve apostles, choosing military service over missionary service. I have the same rights and priviledges as a return missionary, (temple marriage, recommend, etc) Plus I have the same PRIESTHOOD as a return missionary as well. You DON'T have to serve a mission to be a worthy member of the church at all!
@@coltonkerbs The messages from LDS apostles, prophets and men contradict Holy Scripture. Why do you worship a god that was once a man? Why don't you worship the Creator?
I am a PUA and I serve a mission every Friday in the city. I couldn't be more excited to tell the people especially young men about The Game and our father Charles Darwin to help with their knowledge of human evolution and that you can simply be happy by building connections with other members of our species and promote the belief in them selves through use of tangible psychology and empowerment!
Hi Goran, that is great to hear. I also go into town and serve young men, But I do it on a sunday night and I go to the valley. I love to form these docking connections with many a young man.
@@abirose22 You can look up our Word of Wisdom for a better explanation than mine, but we believe that our bodies are temples, and we should take care of them, and there are certain substances we should avoid.
Leaving that Morman church was the best decision I ever made these ppl are not teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and that’s 💯 facts I wa a member for about 1 year and I can tell you Jesus name was hardly used but Joseph smith was all I heard them preach about
I had the first missionaries who stopped me as I walking around shopping when I was 27 years old I am 42 now and have been a member since I was baptised at age 27 and a half. 🥰 I'm from UK England . The church has changed my life simply because I know it's true 💯🙏🥰🥰
I personally don't believe in the beliefs that mormons have, but that doesn't stop me from having respect for them. In my area there are a lot of mormon missionaries walking around, and all of the mormons I've been approached by have been very nice people who don't force their beliefs onto me. Maybe they find it pointless, as they should.
im currently a member of this church but in my mind i am not. when i was eight, nobody told me i had the choice to be or not to be baptized. so now im stuck not being able to tell my parents, that for 5 years i haven't thought of myself as lds. so that sucks for me. meh
Reddit has an exmormon subreddit group you can follow. You’re not alone. There’s lots of support for you and we’re all at different levels of leaving. Best of luck to you.
The Mormons are probably not from a lower source. But neither are they necessarily from the highest one possible. They are a truly warm and devout community, and I admire and respect them, even if I do not share some of their values and beliefs. Do most Mormons like the Amish people?
“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.” John 1:18
Guys in your Mormon bashing please remember that these people are people too with the same rights to belief too. Soo what if they knock on your for and Tru to share something that makes them happy in life!? The world would be a better place if everyone did this in a healthy and positive manner
I'm a mormon. I'm glad Mitt Romney ran for president, even though he didn't win the election. He's brought a ton of good publicity to the LDS church, allowing it to spread pretty quickly. And, you gotta love LDS missionaries. Coolest guys ever. Only people you can talk about what their favorite flavors of ramen and easy-mac are too!
i found all these comments incredibly sad. yes the concepts that Mormons believe in may seem incredibly strange. but I tell you with a heart full of love that this is the truth. I challenge who may ever come across this comment to read the Book of Mormon. don’t read it mindlessly, but with an open heart. you will then too understand why so many take 2 years off of their life to serve our lord as well as his people.
I was a Mormon and served a mission as well. And I can tell that these Elders are good guys. We were never taught to pressure anyone, but rather to invite. Not tear down anyone's believes but build on top of it. I now think Mormonism is false, but these missionaries are mostly very nice guys; if a bit clueless at times.
Since you're atheist, why are you even here? Go back to your religious cult which teaches things create themselves from nothing for no reason. That a stupid thoughtless nothing can do all things. Your BS is laughable!!!
I used to see them a lot in the train when I was a kid because their temple is where my former school was. My teachers always warned us not to entertain because frankly they're a bunch of good-looking guys.
I can tell you most the hate the Mormons get is because of there history that they cover up or give BS reasons, I was a member of the LDS church for just over 3 years and it made me feel like I was loosing Christ and replacing him the more I tried to follow the doctrine, and yes the Temple ceremony is like a butchered version of the masonic one.
Jude 3 "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. I think you would agree that I came with questions and according to scriptures you should be able to defend your faith, we as Christians are OBLIGATED to show, teach and exhort the historical teaching of Christianity. Do you wish to answer the question or let it go?
Serving God and communities around the world is not useful? But serving in the military - preparing for war is a better life experience? Seems like something's missing in your logic.
“Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." Brigham Young said this. Do you really support these people?
@Heavy Mike aka Mr. Bumpo aka Big Bad Mike Definitely not one man. Every prophet from Brigham Young to 1978 said blacks were cursed by god. Basically when cain killed his brother god cursed him. And that curse was being african. It was church doctrine that blacks were not equal to whites. This wasn't just an offhand comment. This was a systematic attack on blacks perpetuated by the church for 100 years.
@Heavy Mike aka Mr. Bumpo aka Big Bad Mike Also I should add the book of Mormon explicitly says that dark skin is associated with evil. People literally changed color with how spiritual they were.
@UCotx0TrgBaR7mlJNheZYAQg No the book of Mormon clearly states that it was their skin. Their physical exterior changed color. Never is the word "skin" and "spirit" used interchangeably. When the book of Mormon mentions skin it means skin not anything else. But don't take my word for it. Let's hear what our prophet seer and revelator has to say about the matter. "The Lord has never indicated that black skin came because of being less faithful. Now, the Indian; we know why he has changed, don't we? The Book of Mormon tells us that; and he has a dark skin, but he has promise there that through faithfulness, that they all again become a white and delightsome people." Spencer W. Kimball.

Mormon boys are really polite and kind with a charming shyness. and they do not appear to be prejudiced like most religions. and are very intelligent for learning different languages. and very dedicated for walking so much. and they are beautiful
Boy, are you WRONG lol. A. Mormons are incredibly prejudice, despite the whole mission thing. You’d think they’d be tolerant and accepting if others but they’re NOTA. B. Most missionaries actually struggle learning their language for their mission location. There’s quite a lot of Mormons who never learn how to fluently speak the language.
Really, you should read church history. They did not allow black bishops in their church until 1978, and they were forced. To allow black bishop by law. 2 Nephi 5:21-23 in the Book of Mormon for reference to passage use to justify their what was and has been seen as anti-black stance with regards to black bishops which they have never apologise for.
You're only lusting at those boys you sick pervert.

Update: missionaries can now call their families once a week, the dress code is a bit more relaxed, and they have smartphones now too. I disagree with the guy in this video, the excitement does wear off (I served in Mexico City and Las Vegas), and this video makes missionaries look like boring robots, when they are normal, good-natured people.
I want to thank all you missionaries that have served the Lord Jesus Christ, now and in the past and in the future. If it was not for you taking the time out of your life planting the seed to help make this a better world to live in. Thank you for your hard work and service planting the seeds throughout the the world. No one would know anything about Jesus Christ and his great sacrifice. With your faith, keep planting the seeds that way we won't have so many ignorant people in the world. God bless you and your families. If we had more young men like you helping and teaching the people about Jesus Christ. I believe it would be less anger, depression, murders, theft, dishonest people and many other things like gang shootings. Keep teaching the great gift of repentance. Repentance will heal the mind and the Heart much faster then Pharmaceuticals can.
Can you go on multiple missions
@@Alone_UpperFrogsually the only other mission one would serve after a full-time one before marriage, is to serve as a couple missionary with your spouse! And that’s usually many years after a couple’s children have grown up and gotten married themselves. Im sure it’s fun serving with your husband/wife, though but who knows
@@Alone_UpperFrog You can ask to extend your mission depending on the needs of the area. If you go out as an older couple missionary, you can submit your application multiple times until you are physically unable to do so. I know a few couple missionaries who've gone more than twice just serving locally and abroad.
I had a couple of Mormons at my front door a few years ago, they were actually a couple of really cool guys! They stayed for a BBQ since we were throwing a dinner party, and my (now) ex husband being a former Baptist missionary... Was actually good times! They completely respected my conviction in my differing beliefs, and didn't force any "crap" down my throat... In fact they came back to hang out some more!
"Ok, we have our own religion. Thank you." Ooooooowwwwsss! 😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It sounds like you need new glasses. It looks like these two young men know what they want to do in life.

At least they are not laying around doing nothing like most of the kids their age. Setting home watching television smoking dope, playing video games all day. This world would be a better place to live if we had more people teaching others about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is good news!👌

@@leswalker2639 yeah these guys aren't morons, their intention is good, but wether the effect they have is as well is an other question entirely. Generally you want as few people as possible to believe in something that is rationally implausible. What you want is for people to be able to judge what actually is plausible, and why acting in accordance to what you believe go be most plausibly true is the best way to act. Young people staying at home smoking weed don't do that either ofc. You could argue that the mormon church is wasting these guy's potential on something that is destructive in the long term, when without they church they might be just as industrious, but would work on something that actually has impact on people's lives beyond belief in a dogma.
The LDS people are friendly and kindness!!! I love the way they lived!

I have also let them in and they are very kind. Sometimes I even flag them down when I see them. They seem to always have a glow around them even sister missionaries and you can feel the love.

@@SalmaBchr pie, no that is not true. We love all Races. The Church of Jesus Christ is worldwide. Not only that if the Church of Jesus Christ was racist why would so many countries be part of the church. I believe there is over 50000 young man and women serving a a full time emission. The missionaries Finance their own missions. Sure the parents sometimes have to help our missionaries with money. I myself will donate money to their mission to serve the Lord. Not to boast of these things . Not only that they are doing nothing different than the 12 apostles when Jesus was alive in the Bible. Like the Lord said love one another as I have loved you. This is the higher law we must all live if possible. Some people have a real hard time living that law. I would not speak out against these people if I did not care about you . That means we all have to love one another like we love ourselves and our neighbors. You can see there are some I want mansion on this website they refuse to live the law ,It doesn't matter what skin color you are still a son or daughter of God. The Lord is about love only , if we cannot love we are not one of His sheep. The Lord is the Good Shepherd that will lead his sheep pet safety if they will follow Him . But we do have a lot of followers that hate the church for whatever reason. It is their choice. They are pretty vicious with their tongue when they lying and constantly criticize. I rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ ! The main thing they are trying to do is chase people away from the Lord and His gospel. So they spread rumors and lies constantly. I really believe they are evil atheist just like some of these disgraceful comments. They will go as far as calling themselves a Christian and a Christian does not do that. You will always know people by their words whether they be good or evil. It is their choice to be evil speakers. They will even bring up scriptures and accuse the church and monk the things of Jesus Christ. The Lord said those who mock are fools and they will be destroyed . These are the type of people that crucified our Lord Jesus Christ . We all know these people that bring up the scriptures to disrupt the church, if you read their scriptures it can make a little bit of sense until the whole chapter is read ,it does not say what they claim. The Bible contradicts what they say even though they bring up a few other scriptures that mean something else. These people are more like atheist and cannot stand Jesus Christ. The church is over 16 million strong and is one of the fastest growing churches in the world. They are still trying to crucify this wonderful Church which Bears the name of Jesus Christ. As far as I know it is the only Church of Jesus Christ in the world. It is clear in the Bible also that this is what all the Lord's churches should be named. It even talks about this church in Isaiah chapter 29 and 30 and so many other places in the Bible. I would never go to one of those hateful churches that some of those hateful people speak on our website. No Christian speaks evil against the Church of Jesus Christ. If you are not edified by the words that is spoken, and the behalf of Jesus Christ, then those words are in vain if you do not think about them later and pondered them in your heart. We all have to do our own research in life and I would hope that you would do your research and know the truth when you find it. It is real hard to find truth when you have other people giving their opinions. The truth is not someone's opinion. If you want to know the truth you will pray for understanding and ask God with real intent with faith in the name of Jesus Christ and it will be revealed I can promise that. The Lord has promised in the Bible in many different places, has said , ask and you will receive knock and the door will be open to you. This is the only way you can find truth when the Holy Ghost reveals it to you and then you will never be able to deny the truth once you hear it. If you never ask you will never receive truth I am not trying to convert you just wanted you to know that these evil tongues do not serve the Lord Jesus Christ. I speak the truth about to Lord's Church. All I can do is pray for the evil speakers that one day their hearts will be softened. And come to Christ with Open Hearts and Minds. In the name of Jesus Christ I speak to these words! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify the word of Jesus Christ and the difference between the things of evil speakers! Many of these evil speakers give me the opportunity to even Bear My Testimony and I thank them for that. I know the Lord Jesus Christ was beaten and bruised and nailed on the cross and after 3 days our Lord Jesus Christ was resurrected. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered dearly for every single person that will believe in Him and follow Him. The Book of Mormon is the true word of God just like the Bible! The Doctrine and Covenants clarify many Revelations given to the people that follow Him. I can promise you if you seek you will find the truth and nothing but the truth in the name of Jesus Christ ,amen!
Why so many dislikes? I'm Catholic but I think the Mormons are just as faithful as anyone else. Huge respect for their missionary work.
There is no physical evidence that Jesus was ever in America. The fact that they think (though not mentioned here) they can become gods is EXACTLY what the serpent said to Adam and Eve.
lajmh If the serpent used only blatant lies, then he would not be so beguiling. The tempter uses half truths to tempt people. He says something true and adds in lies. After the serpent said this, he said that she would not surely die. This is what I believe was the lie. After Adam and Eve had eaten of the fruit, God said they had "become as one of us" suggesting that a process of approaching godliness was underway.
lajmh There are many other scriptures that indicate this. Jesus said "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus commanded His disciples to become “perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” In turn, the Apostle Peter referred to the Savior’s “exceeding great and precious promises” that we might become “partakers of the divine nature.” The Apostle Paul taught that we are “the offspring of God” and emphasized that as such “we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.” An heir is one who inherits the position and title of another. The book of Revelation contains a promise from Jesus Christ that “to him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.” These passages can be interpreted in different ways. Yet by viewing them through the clarifying lens of revelations received by Joseph Smith, Latter-day Saints see these scriptures as straightforward expressions of humanity’s divine nature and potential.
The word Jain comes from a word meaning to 'overcome' or to 'conquer'. But what exactly? There is perhaps much in common with LDS, but Jainism seems to have vision of spirituality far beyond LDS and perhaps most religions.
So, here are the basics of the Jain religion. Seems to require much, much more than the LDS faith. How much are you ready to 'overcome'?

Y all bashing on Mormons, but how many of you have actually heard what they have to say? If you are a smart person, and you want to know the truth, then just listen to them and decide for yourself. Don't judge a book by its cover. Dont judge the Mormons because of what these people tell you, do it when the Mormons have told you themselves
Kanye West I have. I went the whole nine yards (albeit I never consented to a baptism, nor became a member). I went to several of their sacrament meetings and one of their biannual stake conferences. I read the Book of Mormon, went through both of their websites, and studied with 12 missionaries one on one (with as many as 4 at one time). Now, I have experienced other religions to the same degree and so have this to say about Mormonism:
Its dull, neither enlightening, nor rational; it is one of the most religious religions I have ever faced. Don't take my word for it; go attend their sacrament meetings and conferences and study with a few Mormons. Try having a debate with them.
Granted, you may get something out of their meetings; you never know. I cannot speak for you; I can only speak for myself and I say: how about no?

+Kanye West I understand there have weird underwear and a water phobia. Raving mental or what....
+Kanye West well i just heard about how Mormons are ex-communicating everyone who identifies as gay. But that's not the worst part, it's that they are not only barring homosexuals from the church but also there kids whether there adopted or natural. And once they are 18 they can join back into the church after they disavow same-sex marriage which if they should chose to come back is just a big bitch slap to the people who raised the child. I'm not judging you based on what they said above, i'm judging you based on the backward moral values the the Mormon church promotes and the members of the church that agree with it.
+LordRedRevolt are you also one who welcomes Muslims into the US? Yea, real swift!
And because it is so amazing, we get to share it with others so that they have the opportunity to have what we have. And if you or anyone else does not want to hear that message, we respect that.
These Missionaries tried to convert me to Mormonism but I told them I didn't want to convert. BUT I asked them if they could come over every Saturdays just so that I can learn about them:)
And did they come?

No, I am not affiliated with LDS any more. And I think LDS like it that way. No, I actually moved forward in life, something that I wasn't allowed to do while LDS.
Your way, way off. I no drug addiction or anything like that. I don't think I could have finished the program I did if I was LDS. Maybe it is irrational, but not everything is rational.

But women cannot hold the priesthood.
But doesn't mean they can't serve missions
True, but the top-dog leaders are all men.

As a Catholic, I respect their mission to evangelize people into a faith in Jesus Christ. However, I don't need them forcing themselves to convert people into Mormons.

Coming to Christ? Why do you even believe in something like that? Is it not just make-believe? Wishful thinking? Nobody alive today has ever seen neither Jesus or God or any other deity. Only delusional thinking...

I'm a Mormon and a return missionary(I did a two-year mission in Texas) and I was pleased with how accurate this is. One comment I will make is that a mission isn't really a rite of passage. Missionaries who go out door-to-door while living strict standards become discouraged more easily than missionaries who are out there because of their faith. However besides that small misunderstanding I can't emphasize how pleased I was with the accuracy. Most TV shows are biased against or for Mormons.

I was given a personal tour by Mormons on a visitors' day in a city I was visiting once. It had more of a feel of a museum center than a community place, and I felt like I was treading on eggshells asking questions with the guy and gal. You could see it was a mixture of anxiety that I would question their beliefs, but also a genuine and kind enthusiasim in affording me insight into them.
Overall, I took a pamphlet, let them have my email but not my cell number. I could not help but feel a slight aggression in trying to force me into their beliefs, despite the fact I explicitly said I came just to learn, but at the same time, they were aggressively nice and polite too, more so than most other people i meet daily. They might have a few principles which grates against people's sense of personal space, but they are a genuinely kind and generous people in every other aspect, and I really liked learning about their culture and customs.
SempiternalScientist, but there is no way you'd join...
Corrina, you speak the truth. It is no abduction by aliens at all. So, the Book of Mormon is still fascinating. Even the Bible alluded/pointed out that Jesus would appear outside Israel. The faithful Nephites and Lamanites waited for over six hundred years for it to happen.
@Cory Slade
"They choose if they join"! What a load of horse dung that is! I was told, years ago, when I was looking into the cult, that if I DIDN'T join their little cult sect, I would go to hell! I was ignorant of God's word at that time. THEN, they didn't tell me that their little god was once a human, and that he had to go to a school of learning to learn what he knows now, and that he, with his physical body made up of flesh and bone, came to earth, supposedly had physical sex with the Mother of Jesus, and her husband just stood there and watched? THAT SICK AND BLASPHEMOUS! That's outright BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST! And they call themselves, CHRISTIAN! I feel an evil presence when I pass by their church! I try to go around the block, rather than pass by in front of it. And then, on Sunday, to see these poor deluded people, leading their children they are teaching the lie to, march into the church! TRULY SAD! Teaching their children lies instead of the truth! SHAMEFUL INDEED!

I HAVE SOME MORMONS FRIENDS NOW, AND THEY ARE DOING SO GREAT TO ME
I have several Mormon friends but they don't call themselves Mormons that's just what the public cause them. Maybe people need to use the right name. That's like your name is Ricky but everybody calls you Roy. It sounds like you're talking about two different people. They are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are great people. I feel very comfortable around them. I'm looking into the church now. It seems like they have more of the Gospel of Jesus Christ then most other churches believe. It always seems like other churches stumble and trip over their words and Doctrine. With much of the false Doctrine going on, there would be more churches I would think, maybe later. No wonder many people stay away from churches, I did for a long time because of that reason. Like the trinity there is no such thing even in the Bible. I knew that already. that is false Doctrine. Jesus is very clear when he speaks. You know the one that hung on the cross and suffered for our sins.
@@leswalker2639 I Don’t Talk To The Mormons No More Anyway
I've heard of people saying that Mormon missionarys are brain washed and how sorry everyone feels for them. I will tell you this. The church of Jesus Christ is true, god has blessed us with the Truth on this Earth. For I know that God is real and he loves us and knows us.
These men are righteous, and happy to know these things. I am happy that they know what they are doing is right. The church of Jesus Christ is true, and if you ever give it a chance and seek it with true intent. You will feel God's love for you.

Utu Fatiaki If I looked under a microscope at my flesh, blood, and bones I would notice that there are animal cells, and those animal cells are made up of organelles. The grass and trees are made of plant cells, growing as a result of photosynthesis. The sky is full of atoms, refracting light from the sun and reflecting blue light. These are the result of evolution and other processes discovered. Science has explained these phenomena perfectly, so I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. The history of humans, Earth, and the universe has no space for a “creator” unless the creator is the Big Bang.
I pray for those in Louisiana & anyone who encounters anyone from the Mormon religion. I pray they are not misled.
Do the missionaries tell them what your prophet claimed in his false doctrines? Do the missionaries even know?
Your living (and past) prophets have made corrections to the Book of Mormon, the "most correct book", the most correct translation that has had thousands of changes. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon into English through the gift and power of God. He said that it is "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book" (History of the Church, 4:461). Yet, the book which Joseph Smith declared was "the most correct of any book on earth" (History of the Church, vol. 4, p. 461) has been revised in over 3900 places (3913 Changes in the Book of Mormon by Jerald and Sandra Tanner)
. This does not sound like the most correct.
For those who don't know about your living prophets.
“We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands, by those who are in authority to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.” (Articles of Faith 1:5.)
A prophet, then, is the authorized representative of the Lord. While the world may not recognize him, the important requirement is that God speaks through him. A prophet is a teacher. He receives revelations from the Lord. These may be new truths or explanations of truths already received.
So here's another correction from the Book of Mormon, the most correct translation:
Before 1978 dark-skinned males were not allowed to hold positions of priesthood authority within the Mormon church. Today Mormon "most correct" scriptures continue to teach that dark skin is a curse from God and a sign of His displeasure (1 Nephi 12:23; 2 Nephi 5:21; Alma 3:6).
Brigham Young, second president and prophet of the LDS church referred to those with dark skin as being "cursed with a s[k]in of blackness" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, p. 272).
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 110).
Your prophet Joseph Smith is a false prophet. Your living and past prophets are false prophets.
20 "But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’ 21 "And you may say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’ 22 "When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy 18:20-22)
False prophecies from your false prophet Joseph Smith:
- Jesus’ return within 56 years (History of the Church, vol. 2, p. 189)
- The temple would be built in Missouri within Smith’s Generation (Doctrines and Covenants 84:2-5,31)
- All Nations would be involved in the American Civil War (Doctrine and Covenants 87:1-3)
- Isaiah 11 was about to be fulfilled (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith, History, verse 40)
The ONLY living prophet is the Biblical Jesus Christ (Hebrew 13:5)
, the ONLY god. For those who do not know, Mormons believe in the plurality of gods. "In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 5). You believe the 10 commandments are true, right? The first commandment says, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3). More contradiction.
Another false claim from the apostle Bruce McConkie, “Thus those who gain eternal life receive exaltation. . . They are gods.” (Mormon Doctrine, pg. 237). Another false claim from Joseph Smith, “Here then is eternal life - to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God the same as all Gods have done before you” (Journal of Discourses 6:4; TPJS p.346 ).
Why do LDS waste their time with Jesus when they have their own prophets?
LDS believe they can one day become a god like their brother Jesus. The Mormon Jesus is your brother and you can one day be exalted like him. That's blasphemy. My Jesus of the only true Bible is our ONLY one true God (Isaiah 44:6).
Do you believe in Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ?
Your prophet Joseph Smith on May 26, 1844 boasted, "I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." (History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 408-409 Address of the Prophet - His Testimony Against the Dissenters at Nauvoo)
Mormonism is full of anachronisms, contradiction and false prophecies, far from correct. Information is easily accessible on the internet. Find the truth, read the Bible. Test the Bible, test your church.
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1)
With love & sincerity
Genetics proves the book of Mormon is a lie.
While i greatly disagree with their church and religious beliefs, I have much respect for many of them for their kindness and humility.
One time Some missionaries came and rang my doorbell and I opened the door and they saw my catholic school uniform and left
I have a Mormon church down the road from me. They have tried stopping me several times over the years. But I can spot them a mile now and if I can't cross the road to avoid them I just power walk past them, refusing to make eye contact, while loudly shouting "I'm an atheist", over and over to drown out their attempts at greeting me.
I swear, it is easier getting rid of herpes than it is a Mormon on a mission.
I doubt that...
thats not true, they wouldnt leave
Even if you tell the missionaries that you are Lutheran or of another faith, they still would like a shot at converting you.
I just had four LDS missionaries in my home last week.
Prayers for them all.
I love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
So you love the occult...nice.
@J Greg Yeah, Mormons teach Jesus and Satan are brothers. They were born spirit babies in heaven to God and his goddess wife. Truly a wacky cult.
Jesus Christ is Lord! Turn to Jesus Christ today!!
My mom's friend's oldest son served as a missionary for the Mormon Church after high school, he says they don't go door to door trying to convert people anymore. At that point, they just meandered around in public politely striking up conversations with passers-by to get new converts.
Encourage a open Mormons that make me feel better in my life.
Im 24 years old, Convert. Bread winner of the family, But i choose to serve the lord by going on mission.
This pandemic, I've been meeting 2 missionaries through video call. And all I can say is, they are really kind, respectful, and handsome individuals who really loves God. Please, let them go inside of your house. They are harmless.
P.S. I'm not a Mormon.
I am sorry but they are dangerous. They preach a false gospel and salvation that requires work.
@@noahremnek3615 no works do not gain your salvation. Someone who has grace will automatically do works
It looks like these missionaries are good examples to the Christian people . They are living the Commandments and the principles of Jesus Christ . Well if you're not going to work in the vineyard you just stay under the shade tree see what happens. Jesus said in the parable .You're a slothful servant. Get out and earn your keep. You must be one of those welfare Christians. That set on the bench.
One of the things I remember one of the parables of Jesus Christ about working in the His Vineyard. Jesus Christ expects all of us to work in the vineyard not lay around under a shade tree and expect the same blessings. There is a lot of slothful servants working in the vineyard. Too bad so sad! I want to be better than what I am so I'm working for more blessings and I have received so much more blessings then what I Really Deserve, it is wonderful, wonderful to me.

My son is on a mission. It was his choice to go. Not so much a right of passage. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God" Can you think of a better way for a young man to start out his Clean life? Better then doing drugs, drinking, joining gangs, causing distructive mischief. I talked to a policeman once he said at that age a mission is a real good thing! Teaching people how to get closer to the Savior is a wonderful thing! It Saves lives!
How about going to school and getting a education? How about contributing to his local community through service or working. For you to raise him in this organization, only cripples him, it only prepares him to live in a community that thinks, acts and believes the same. It does not prepare him for reality it does not give him a moral foundation. If anything, it probably only reaffirms your personal beliefs, which is exploitative.
Also I don't really know how much choice you can contribute to him, when you have Mormon prophets mandating that 18 year old boys to go, there's more social pressure to participate in a mission, than anything else. You are destroying your son, so very sad to see.
is it okay for a man to NOT go on a mission? ( by his own choice?)
Ram, I hope so. If not, he should quit.
Or you can so something that is both useful and get paid, it's called military service.
BOTH prophets Thomas S Monson and Russell M Nelson served in the military rather than on an LDS mission. You get paid, you get valuable job experience and unlike a mission, looks great on a job resume.
I'm sorry but serving an LDS mission is the biggest waste of time in the world, I never served and I have absolutely NO regrets of not doing so, I have the same priesthood, the same temple recommend and the exact same temple marriage as a return missionary except I didn't waste my time and money out in the mission field, and I have a six figure salary and a brand new home thanks to an interest free VA home loan. In short my life is great because I served my country instead of serving a mission and I wouldn't have it any other way.
FYI sister missionaries have greater success because the public actually listens to their message by letting their guard down over elders. I encourage MORE women to serve TWO YEAR missions over a shorter one.
All our works are as filthy rags. Christ, the real Christ, came to set us free from the bondage of religion.
Such great blessings come when serving. I did my mission years ago, from 1987-1989, then 2 service missions. One in 2000 and the other in 4016.
Now getting all my paper work done to a senior mission.
Nice reporting. It's refreshing to see journalists who did their homework to make sure they got the story right.
I enjoy the moment of discovery when Mormons realize that something they've been taught in church does not agree with something in church-published books.
I want others to know the happness that I've discovered, and have made it a bit of a project to share the truth with as many Mormons as I can.
Plus, I enjoy debating the issues and learning the deeper doctrines and exploring the vast and unknown world of Mormonism that isn't in the lesson manuals.
Well Ford old buddy old pal. It sounds like you know a lot but no you don't if you knew Christ he was organized and always organized. Truth is truth it's all on the table for the whole world to see. Sounds like you're mad because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is all over the world. Why do you think they have so many members belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ. And you make it sound like you have great information. You're just fooling others and yourself because you really sound like a idiot because you want to debate the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is called satanism. You sound like a fool in the scriptures with all due respect. Don't be mad because you only have a couple churches. That's if you go to church.
I lived in Utah for several years. Im not Mormon but they are wonderful. Many are genuine Christians imo.
Being a missionary is a great responsibility! A missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop written by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical tips for learning foreign language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book provides answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!
I wish i had some of their courage and confidence in my job interviews .
Drinking is not a sin even Jesus drunk wine
Being a Mormon its a lot like being a policeman, you never go without a partner, you take care for each other and you try to help the people, the problem is that most of the people doesn’t want to be helped.

God Bless them, I'm a Latter- Day Saint ( nickname Mormon) after a Prophet in The Book of Mormon, I wish so many more would listen to the Missionaries and what they are trying to say. We are Christians and try to do our best by living the commandments and the word of wisdom, no alcohol, smoking, drugs, If you think about it that makes a great deal of sense and some of these things can lead to addiction and hardship, I feel so blessed been 40 years since I joined the Church and i can truly say that it is the best thing i have ever done. The Bible and The Book of Mormon go hand in hand and both testify that Jesus is The Christ. If you can please spare some time i urge you to please read The Book of Mormon or at least some and pray about it ask God our Heavenly Father it it is true. but with a sincere heart. It really is true,
If you have to pray to ask if the Book of Mormon is true then it probably isn’t.

I am a member of church of Jesus of Latter day Saints and i just want to say that why don't you try out the church and learn about it first before you say anything then you decide whether it is true or not because there is a lot of false information around the internet just remember that
There are plenty of people who have taken the time to learn about your church, and have sought out the facts. Perhaps if you did too, you wouldn't be a member still.
There's Mormons that go around my town there decent people. I always see them giving money or buying food for the homeless people.
There was a gas leak a few years ago 5 houses blew up and the neighbourhood was evacuated, the Mormon church was the first place to open at 3 in the morning. Within a couple of hours everyone affected had food and somewhere hot to wait.
The LDS church has over $100 billion dollars in one investment firm, Ensign Peak. It is not hard to see how this could happen.
Not only did I refuse to serve an LDS mission, I chose to use my money and time by not doing so. I was able to finish college early, and use the $20,000 it would have costed to serve a mission by starting a business that employs others.
NONE of the first presidency (Thomas S. Monson, Henry B Eyering, or Dieter Uchtdorf, all military veterans) EVER served a mission, Neither did eight of the twelve quarum of the twelve apostles, choosing military service over missionary service.
I have the same rights and priviledges as a return missionary, (temple marriage, recommend, etc)
Plus I have the same PRIESTHOOD as a return missionary as well.
You DON'T have to serve a mission to be a worthy member of the church at all!

In my area there are a lot of mormon missionaries walking around, and all of the mormons I've been approached by have been very nice people who don't force their beliefs onto me. Maybe they find it pointless, as they should.
The lds church is so dope man
As based on the magic mushrooms dreams of Joseph Myths !
@@davidjanbaz7728 🤡
im currently a member of this church but in my mind i am not.
when i was eight, nobody told me i had the choice to be or not to be baptized.
so now im stuck not being able to tell my parents, that for 5 years i haven't thought of myself as lds.
so that sucks for me.
meh
Seek out the answer for yourself man. If you pray for personal revelation you just might receive it.
do what’s best for you and your life brother
Reddit has an exmormon subreddit group you can follow. You’re not alone. There’s lots of support for you and we’re all at different levels of leaving. Best of luck to you.
The Mormons are probably not from a lower source. But neither are they necessarily from the highest one possible. They are a truly warm and devout community, and I admire and respect them, even if I do not share some of their values and beliefs. Do most Mormons like the Amish people?
Call home twice a year?! Geez, the military is a lot less restrictive.
A little reminder that God loves you won't kill you :)
Excelente, missionary, I, am Mormon, LDS
“No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.”
John 1:18
i dont follow mormon beliefs but i respect that they try.
God bless 🙏🙏
Guys in your Mormon bashing please remember that these people are people too with the same rights to belief too. Soo what if they knock on your for and Tru to share something that makes them happy in life!? The world would be a better place if everyone did this in a healthy and positive manner
I'm Mormon and I'm proud of it.
I'm ex Mormon and I'm proud of it and they can't find me ha ha ha
I'm a mormon. I'm glad Mitt Romney ran for president, even though he didn't win the election. He's brought a ton of good publicity to the LDS church, allowing it to spread pretty quickly. And, you gotta love LDS missionaries. Coolest guys ever. Only people you can talk about what their favorite flavors of ramen and easy-mac are too!
i found all these comments incredibly sad. yes the concepts that Mormons believe in may seem incredibly strange. but I tell you with a heart full of love that this is the truth. I challenge who may ever come across this comment to read the Book of Mormon. don’t read it mindlessly, but with an open heart. you will then too understand why so many take 2 years off of their life to serve our lord as well as his people.
My only problem is their style. Ties should NEVER be worn with short sleeves. Other than that, I respect them.
This is super sad for me because my brother is on a mission right now
I heard that they read a Mormon book. I am a Christian and I read the Bible
Actually we read both
So grateful that an accurate representation was in this video, and it makes other Mormons proud. Thank you ABC News
They don't just knock on doors to try to convert people and it's not a mandatory right of passage...
They are crazy. This is not a religion.
I was a Mormon and served a mission as well. And I can tell that these Elders are good guys. We were never taught to pressure anyone, but rather to invite. Not tear down anyone's believes but build on top of it. I now think Mormonism is false, but these missionaries are mostly very nice guys; if a bit clueless at times.
WHAT HAPPENED THAT CAUSED YOU TO LEAVE THE CHURCH?
>implying it matters at all.
All I see are a bunch of 5 year olds fighting over who has the "best" imaginary friend.
*tips fedora
Since you're atheist, why are you even here? Go back to your religious cult which teaches things create themselves from nothing for no reason. That a stupid thoughtless nothing can do all things. Your BS is laughable!!!
@@voiceoftruth2646 Lmao if atheism is a religion than not collecting stamps is a hobby
I used to see them a lot in the train when I was a kid because their temple is where my former school was. My teachers always warned us not to entertain because frankly they're a bunch of good-looking guys.
lots of haters here....
+Analiza Duong, I know! It's not like the Mormons are beheading people, breaking into my home or even throwing rocks through my window.
No, Mike, but they tell other Christians that their baptisms are not valid.
Yes. Whenever it comes to religion, people just lose their civility and respect.
I can tell you most the hate the Mormons get is because of there history that they cover up or give BS reasons, I was a member of the LDS church for just over 3 years and it made me feel like I was loosing Christ and replacing him the more I tried to follow the doctrine, and yes the Temple ceremony is like a butchered version of the masonic one.
Hate when my door bells rings and it’s not a check for a million dollars
Jude 3 "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. I think you would agree that I came with questions and according to scriptures you should be able to defend your faith, we as Christians are OBLIGATED to show, teach and exhort the historical teaching of Christianity. Do you wish to answer the question or let it go?
Those clean cut guys should do something useful and serve in the military. good life experience for them.
Serving God and communities around the world is not useful? But serving in the military - preparing for war is a better life experience? Seems like something's missing in your logic.
I am a Mormon of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints I will always be a Mormon
“Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." Brigham Young said this. Do you really support these people?
@Heavy Mike aka Mr. Bumpo aka Big Bad Mike Definitely not one man. Every prophet from Brigham Young to 1978 said blacks were cursed by god. Basically when cain killed his brother god cursed him. And that curse was being african. It was church doctrine that blacks were not equal to whites. This wasn't just an offhand comment. This was a systematic attack on blacks perpetuated by the church for 100 years.
@Heavy Mike aka Mr. Bumpo aka Big Bad Mike Also I should add the book of Mormon explicitly says that dark skin is associated with evil. People literally changed color with how spiritual they were.
@UCotx0TrgBaR7mlJNheZYAQg No the book of Mormon clearly states that it was their skin. Their physical exterior changed color. Never is the word "skin" and "spirit" used interchangeably. When the book of Mormon mentions skin it means skin not anything else. But don't take my word for it. Let's hear what our prophet seer and revelator has to say about the matter. "The Lord has never indicated that black skin came because of being less faithful. Now, the Indian; we know why he has changed, don't we? The Book of Mormon tells us that; and he has a dark skin, but he has promise there that through faithfulness, that they all again become a white and delightsome people." Spencer W. Kimball.
