Hey All! Jessie here. I just filmed the PART TWO to this video and it is fully sourced with LDS documents. Please go check it out! (Especially those of you who have questioned the validity of the points made in this video.) Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/EF9lIlK9j8k/v-deo.html
Hey Jessie, got any sources for this video? I was wondering because in the first minute and a half, that you said about a half dozen claims with no factual backup behind them. Where are the sources for this video, I would love to help clear up any confusion that you may have.You made all of these claims, but I have no idea where they are coming from.
@@gingerbrettman5665 You just replied to the comment with the direct link to the video where it is all sourced! I did a part 2 to this video that was published today and every single point is sourced out with LDS sources.
My friend is a former Mormon and she hob-nobed with "Mormon royalty" in the seventies..... She dated an Osmond, rode horses with apostle Boyd K. Packer's kids, was a winner in the Miss Provo and Miss Utah Pageants, ran for Miss USA, was Belle of the Y Princess, and did her PhD and taught at BYU. She knows all there is to know about Mormonosm, and she says this video is 100% TRUE and accurate! And my friend would LOVE to go on this podcast and help support Jesse---because Jesse is telling the Truth!
@@lauraevans3709.... The Osmonds are all phonies! My friend who knew them says they'll never leave Mormon cult as it gave them the opportunity to be "stars".. They were out for money and fame. And the church used THEM as a PR gimmick. They recruited their groupies into Mormonism . It was sick They even had a Osmond Convert Club to entice kids into Mormonism-- it was disgusting. The Osmonds were NOT Christians. My friend never heard them mention Christ even once. And Wayne tried to get her into the back seat of the car! After that she never dated him again as she was a Christian.
I have been a member for 2yrs and have found so many things wrong with the church that doesn't add up with the Bible. This yr I am getting back with my Christian ways and moving away from the Mormon beliefs
Mormons are legendary for their "newspeak" . as a jr high kid I was told not to tell people what church I attended, but to invite kids to church. That people would prejudge us without getting to know us...they were right. In high school i went to seminary classes before school, they had us study the KJV in my sophomore year. I kept reading it and by my senior year had many difficult questions and deep misgivings about what they were saying to outsiders vs. what they were teaching me, as i was preparing for missions, we had been to the temple and participated in baptism for the dead, and that KJV kept coming up, you know, John 3:16&17...Eph 2: 8-10...stuff like that...so I started asking questions. The questions were not welcome. And after a period of time, I wasn't either. Fast forward 2 years I join the Marines...on Sunday if you go to church you can escape the watchful eye of the drill instructors for 2 hrs! So I went to the LDS service...within 2 weeks of filling out the visitors card, tha minister in charge met me at the door and explained where all the other denominations met...I was blackballed! Not that I'm hurt, just a fun example of LDS love....the holy spirit got ahold of me a few years later, and I'm saved now. Pray for your LDS frieds, the indoctrination theye been through is powerful...they're convinced if they lose their membership they're eternally cursed...it's sad really, no assurance of salvation. Your telling the truth, keep it up. Titus 3:5-7 "according to his mercy"
YOur experience is completely different from mine Being Raised LDS (church of Jesus Christ of) I was taught to tell everyone what church I attended and to be proud of it. I did and I"m glad. Then my pentecostal friends invited me to their church when I was about 12. I asked my mom what I should do. She said I should go (which I did, those drums were pretty cool even though i sure wasnt used to them but still pretty cool) Then she said invite them to your church which I did. this was over 20 yrs ago and to this day I'm still friends with them. It sounds like your problem is with certain members and how they act but not "the church"
@@dukeball4ever1 I would say the problem is the church. The church wants you to worship a god that was once a man, wants you to make fun of Jesus Christ and say that he is the brother of Lucifer and wants you to believe another gospel. The Bible calls this idolatry, blasphemy and believing another gospel damns you to eternal torment in hell. Gal. 1:8 I had four LDS missionaries in my home and they wanted me to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and God would automatically tell me it is true. I showed them from the word of God that I do not pray to their heavenly father who was once a man, so I would not get the answer that they would get. I worship the Creator. The true and living God the Father, who loves you and created you, was never once a man. Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right before God? “For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together. I Tim. 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. The true and living God was never once a man. He exists by His own power. He is self-existent. He lives outside of the time, space and matter because He created time, space and matter. He has no mother or father, does not need air, food, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing, etc.. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable, infinitely holy, eternal and so much more. The highest heavens cannot contain Him. He created Adam out of the dust of the ground. No wife needed. No pre existence. Why don't you worship your Creator? Jesus Christ never said you had to believe the Book of Mormon was true to get into heaven. Jesus Christ never said you had to believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God to get into heaven. Jesus Christ never said there was salvation only in the LDS church.
Actually I was disfellowshipped, the chaplain told I was welcome to attend any other service on the base....he did not say I was not welcome to attend theirs, but I was asked to leave (kinda the same thing)
@@dukeball4ever1 l once defended the church as you do, untill l researched and saw through the deception. You have simply not discovered the actual truth of the Mormon Corp yet. So many are taken in by their manipulative behavior. They change doctrine like most change underwear. God is not the author of confusion.
I'm an ex mormon and a lot of the contradictions, awful past evils of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are never taught. I didn't know that the star symbol was satanic until this video. You live in a bubble that brainwashes you and I stayed out of terror of going to hell if I left. I suffer from Scrupulous OCD (constant obessive thoughts that one wrong move will send you to hell) and the Mormon church completely messed me up to the point I wanted to commit suicide because I was going to hell anyway. Since leaving I still have the OCD but being a Christian is healing me not destroying me. God is merciful and is my Savior who will not push me to hell for being human. Leaving the church was the hardest and most freeing thing ever.
sometimes there is healing from intrusive thoughts. sometimes it's a poisonous plague in the brain that you can't get rid of. i had it for 60 years because of something in my childhood. for me it was just taking name of jesus and rebuking the evil spirits that had been tormenting for so many years. but not everyone has the same thing. a lady at work has terrible intrusive thoughts that drive her to thoughts of suicide. so i know it happens to a lot of people. i hope for sure you find peace of mind somehow. praise god.
Another mind blowing fact is that missionaries are tremendously pressured to baptize as many people as possible. In fact, missionaries make use of physiology techniques to deceive people and achieve their daily goals. The LDS church is a billionaire global organization which promotes missionary work and marriages in order to increase its membership and therefore its profits.
Here's a mind blowing fact. Tricking people into joining doesn't work, and is counter productive, and if a mission president can't see that, he should be released from his calling. Missionaries teach the gospel and the Book of Mormon. No psychological tricks, no deceptions. Also, the Church does not need money. The Church has plenty of money. So, that blows up the theory that we need members so they give more money.
@@lindalds I was a full time missionary! I know how things work! At that time I didn't realize I was doing such things cuz I was brainwashed. It's been 5 years since then and now my mind is clear to see things people like you do not want to see. When it comes to the money, how do you thing the church made its fortune? It's obvious. Missionary work, temples and marriages are investments foe the chuch, however, they sell those to its members and investigators as blessings, salvation, exaltation and happiness.
I was once visited by two fine young missionaries. I was invited to join the church. I asked them for help in suderstanding the Book of Mormon. I asked, "Do I understand that the Book of Mormon is the latest information from God for the human rase?" "Yes." I asked them to help me understand Mosiah 13:16-19. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy... The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." They had no answer for me. I asked them why they did not follow the "latest" information from God for the human race. Answer, "We would get in trouble if we did that." I told them that my church followed that commandment, how could I join a church that only followed 9 out of 10 commandments. I prayed for them.
I wasn’t there, but I’ve known probably thirty five missionaries and I cannot stress to you enough that they are just 19 year old boys. They are not religious experts or scholars, they do not have a direct line to God 24/7, and they are not perfect. Please don’t assume that their refusal to answer (or maybe just confusion) is proof against their beliefs.
You have to realize that these young 18/19/20 yr olds are not perfect. They do their best to get a message along but they don’t have all the perfect answers
I will talk of my experience. I was going through a very difficult time. Really at rock bottom. I had to go to the church to get help. When more than anything I needed spiritual help. It ended up in years of spiritual torture. I never got a chance to get fully into the church because I had been struggling for so long. I’ve been using my bible app and have been praying and now I know that God was protecting me from going any further.
Hey Nicole! Yeah.. shoot me an email and I will get you some excellent resources! And have you checked out the rest of my channel? I source EVERYTHING through Mormon documents and Mormon scripture so you have references while sharing this or addressing it with Mormons. I also link many lds.org topics in my videos and link them in the descriptions. Some great topics to type in the search bar of the church's website, lds.org, are: -Gospel Topics Essays -Plural Marriage in Kirtland and Nauvoo (read the FOOTNOTES..shocking!) -The Book of Abraham (watch my video!) And email me at itsmejessieo@outlook.com and we can talk further if you want to! 🙂
I saw something on UA-cam that I had never known before about Joseph Smith. I have not researched or verified this, but if it's true it very much impacts the credibility of Mormonism. The UA-cam video made the claim that typhoid swept through the Smith family while Joseph was six years old. The disease initially settled in a gland in his armpit which a doctor then lanced and drained with no pain medication. The typhoid then was said to become systemic finally settling in the tibia of his leg. From the report, there were three separate occasions where they cut open his leg, with no pain medication or anesthesia, on three occasions and scraped the infection off the bone and out of the muscles. The psychologist stated that this sort of trauma in early childhood would cause dissociation from reality, and that this could be a lifelong issue. If this is true, it makes me see Joseph Smith in a different light - not as a liar and con man, but as a human being suffering PTSD, and deflecting difficulty or trauma by fantasizing. This, however, does not change the fact that Mormonism is a man made, false religion, and people caught up in Mormonism would be much better off finding the real Jesus of the Bible.
This is crazy seeing this comment because I was taught that Joseph Smith was sick and the infection went to his leg and the were going to amputate it but it miraculously healed through painful treatments of taking the infection out of his leg. I was taught he was even offered whisky and he turned it down because it wasn't good for him. It would make a lot of sense if the trauma made him have these fantasies. It is fascinating to learn stuff like this after being raised LDS.
T Thinker: Well your conclusion is fantasy with no evidence. How could some psychologist who never met Joseph Smith make such an outrageous diagnosis and conclusion? lol Here are some facts with corroborating evidence and witnesses that would stand up in court. Joseph and Oliver were visited by John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Jesus Christ, Moses, Paul, and Elijah--"In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" according to the bible. At least five people saw the angel Moroni and wrote a testimony of that fact. 13 people saw and handled the gold plates and wrote a testimony of that fact. Numerous people observed the translation process of the Book of Mormon wherein Joseph Smith gazed into the Urim and Thummim, saw the Egyptian figures in the upper portion of the device and the English translation below which he read aloud so that Oliver Cowdery could write it down. Oliver then read it back to make sure he had written it correctly. If he had, the images would disappear and new images appeared and so on. When they returned from a break, Joseph never asked where they left off because he had no idea. He just began reading what was in the Urim and Thummim again. Joseph did not know Egyptian and could not have possibly translated it in normal translation processes. The entire text of some 525 pages was translated in 60. Joseph said it was translated "by the gift and power of God." Try reading the book and ask yourself if such a book could have been written by anyone in 60 days without any revisions. Unlike the bible the Book of Mormon comes with a guarantee that "if you will read with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truthfulness of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost." Millions, including myself, testify that they have received that testimony. There is and always has been only one Jesus Christ, the son of God. He is spoken of as the coming Messiah in the Old Testament and the Redeemer and Savior in the New Testament. It is he who revealed his word to the prophets of the tribe of Joseph which are found in the Book of Mormon. See Ezekiel 37 It is he who said in the New Testament that "other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." He visited the tribe of Joseph and declared himself to be the Christ, the risen Lord. You can read all about his visit and his teachings in the Book of Mormon. He also told them he still had other tribes to visit--the Lost 10 tribes described in the bible. Jesus Christ began fulfilling the prophecy of Acts 3:19-21by calling a prophet (see Amos 3:7) restoring the fulness of his gospel a second time, restoring priesthood authority so the saving ordinances of baptism and giving the Gift of the Holy Ghost could be accomplished, restoring His church with the same organization and authority it had when he was on the earth, and naming his church. There is nothing man made about it. It's "built on a foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone" just as it was in the primitive church.
@@cornyplays8766 You got the first two sentences exactly right. The last two are nonsense. Just wild speculation and accusation without a particle of evidence. Sounds like you decided to leave the straight and narrow path and go and live in the great and spacious building. You are always welcome back. Hope to see you return.
This is so sad to watch. I feel sorry that you feel the need to attack the LDS church. I am a proud and deeply converted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. LDS general conference is coming up next weekend! I hope that many of you will take the time to watch it and see what the Church really is about.
hey, I was the same way about 2 years ago, then I took a step back an analyzed things. Sure, the church teaches generally good things that will make you happy, but ultimately it can not be true (or highly unlikely anyway) as the claim of it can not be verified. For this, consider a simple experiment. Since 2 people from two different religions can pray about something and both feel a confirmation of their beliefs, while it is not possible for them both to be correct, then we must conclude faith is not a good measure of truth. Since faith is really the only way to justify belief in a religion, that means, believing in the church (or any church for this matter) is an act that can not be justified, thus since it can not ever be shown to be a justifiable action, it makes no sense to believe in one. This is a hard pill to swallow but is ultimately the logical conclusion.
I grew up in the church and it blew my mind when I found out they basically believe God lives on a planet called Kolob or Kolab or some shit. Also I do believe most Mormons are just trying to better themselves. Mormons aren't supposed to be judgmental towards anybody but most are. In all honesty, they lost me at 10%. And dont forget to tell the people about Porter Rockwell lol
Most churches want you to pay some kind of tithing, that’s actually a biblical based belief, that dosent have anything to do with Mormon doctrine. Yeah I guess a couple bucks a month is tough for lazy ass people who don’t like helping the impoverished
I recommend naming the source-where in their literature does it say Jesus was a polygamist ? Or is it just something they believe but nothing is written ? A lot of Mormons don’t even know this stuff
Jedediah M. Grant said: This ancient philosopher says they were both John's wives. Paul says, "Mine answer to them that do examine me is this:-.Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas." He, according to Celsus, had a numerous train of wives. The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples, causing his crucifixion, was evidently based upon polygamy, according to the testimony of the philosophers who rose in that age. A belief in the doctrine of a plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers. We might almost think they were "Mormons." But if you pass on in their history to seek for uniformity and beauty, you will find some grand flare-ups among them. Look, for instance, at Paul and Peter, disputing and quarrelling with each other....
Orson Hyde remarked: I discover that some of the Eastern papers represent me as a great blasphemer, because I said, in my lecture on Marriage, at our last Conference, that Jesus Christ was married at Cana of Galilee, that Mary, Martha, and others were his wives, and that he begat children. All that I have to say in reply to that charge is this-they worship a Savior that is too pure and holy to fulfil the commands of his Father. I worship one that is just pure and holy enough "to fulfil all righteousness;" not only the righteous law of baptism, but the still more righteous and important law "to multiply and replenish the earth." Startle not at this! for even the Father himself honored that law by coming down to Mary, without a natural body, and begetting a son; and if Jesus begat children, he only "did that which he had seen his Father do."

@@jphish8724 In Genesis 2:8-14 tells us that there were 4 rivers ,Pishon,Gihon,Hiddek and the Euphrates river.So it gives us the general area of the garden of eden.Which would be somewhere in morden day Iraq.
@@bus2town I've heard that too, it's a theory by British archaeologist David Rohl, but is not considered academic, nor reliable, and is not widely accepted by serious Bible scholars. FYI, personally I believe the Garden of Eden to be somewhat more metaphorical; I do not ascribe to the LDS, or other traditional interpretations of this and many Bible stories.
In 1921, Doctrines and Covenants removed, "Lectures on Faith". Why? The Lectures were published in 1835 as the Doctrine portion of The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The Lectures were suggested to be added to this version of the D&C by a committee appointed on September 24, 1834 by a general assembly of the church to arrange the doctrines and revelations of the church into a single volume. That committee consisted of Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, and Frederick G. Williams. The general body of the church accepted the committee's compilation on August 17, 1835 as "the doctrine and covenants of their faith, by a unanimous vote." So if Joseph Smith was on the committee approving it, and he's the end-all be-all prophet, why would the Docrines be removed and furthermore, without a committee vote or explanation why?
@@flyinbiker2001 But you don't say who is getting rich. THE CHURCH has the money, unlike those televangelists, who are making money hand over fist, with their billion dollar mansions and twnety cars and private jets. Whatever money our church leaders have, it' was earned doing legitimate work.
You are so right on everything! Thanks for publishing this. I haven't finished listening to this yet, so in case you don't get around to it, it should be stated that not one Jewish or Christian denomination considers the LDS church to be a Christian entity. No one does. Only they think they are Christian. Hey, God bless you (by the God of the Christian Bible, not by the god of The Church of Joseph Smith of Latter Day Saints). You are awesome!
Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie-I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. Rev. 3:9 and 2:9
lol thanks but other people who already don’t like us for being weird aren’t really the ones to decide whether we’re “Christian” or not. We center our entire church around Him. Did you know Christ is referenced almost 4,000 times in the Book of Mormon? On average, he is spoken of every 1.7 verses.
@@irelyndhenry4300 yes christ said many would come in his name claiming to do the works of God but he will tell them, I never knew you. Even satan came disguised as an angel of light. I'm not here to poke at your religion I believe pretty much all sects or denominations these days are flawed and corrupted because they have become the churches of men, the doctrines of men and they keep the laws of men. Belonging to any church or denomination is not the way to salvation. God's grace , Jesus sacrifice is the way to salvation. Accept his grace, repent and seek a personal relationship with God. Pray without ceasing and read the scriptures and God will guide you. Religion is of man. Churches are of man. Nothing created by man will guarantee you salvation. If man could create something that would guarantee you salvation then man would be the ultimate creator right? If man could create a church and tell you "come be a devout member of my congregation and you will have eternal salvation" why would you need god? That sure sounds alot like the story of adam and eve in the garden of eden when they were decieved by the serpent into committing the original sin...doesn't it? The serpent said "if you eat of this fruit you will have the divine knowledge and you will be like god, you wont need god" that is called pride, the same sin lucifer commited in heaven that got him cast out and the same sin he decieved man into committing that brought us death and cast out of the heavenly garden of eden. He wanted to put himself on the pedestal next to god, thought his ways were better than God's, he wanted to be the creator. In the same way that Saying man's word ie "the book of mormon" or man's church "lds" or "Roman catholic" or any other church and there doctrines are the only way to salvation is a complete blasphemy of god and his sacrifice, god already atoned for your sins and guaranteed you eternal salvation through his sacrifice and that was jesus on the cross. Then along comes man and thinks he can do it better then god, man wants to be the creator and create a new way to eternal salvation, man thinks his word "book of mormon" or any other doctrines is the only way. Forgetting that god is the creator who knows best and god is the word and gods words create...gods words give salvation if only you would trust in them and that is trust in god because god is the word. God's grace gave us salvation now take up your cross, that is take up a personal relationship with Jesus and seek refugee from this evil world in his word. Grace is of God...grace is love...God is love. Three things will last forever: faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is love...God is love. Not condemnation of those who won't eat of the tree of there church "the knowledge of there church" or "the words of there church" Condemnation is condemning people to an eternity of hell. Which is what your all doing when you say "because your not part of the lds church you wont recieve eternal salvation" that is exactly what Satan does, he condemns man to hell, he knows his judgment because it has already been passed and it is Written, he wants to take you with him. Which is why he decieved man into committing the same sin he committed "pride" so that he could go to God and say: "see God, man has commited the same sin as me so you must pass judgement on him and condemn him to hell as you have condemned me, because you are a just god are you not?" Because misery loves company right? But god does not condemn us instead god redeems us. God had mercy on us and saved us by his grace, by his sacrifice. So have faith that you are saved by his grace and not because of anything man has or will do.
You have given me more information in this one video then I have heard from the hours of other videos on this subject. you have really gathered the information needed.
Find out for yourself, because I could tell you that it is, in fact, definitely true and not the "cult" culture she is trying to define it as. God bless!
It's not true that "Mormon" doctrine teaches that we work to earn our salvation. But many get confused. It teaches that salvation is only in and through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast". Romans 3:28: "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law". Galatians 2:16: "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ". Romans 4:5: "God justifies the ungodly". James 2:24"You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone" John 2:4 "Whoever claims to know him yet does not keep his commands is a liar, and the truth is not in them." John 14:15: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 15:10: "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." Matthew 7:21: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." We didn't earn Salvation through our works, Christ earned it for us, but we must do our best to follow everything Christ commands. And we should never come across teaching that we don't have to obey Christ. Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast".

She don’t know what she’s talking about. I’m an inactive member but I will never replace my knowledge of the gospel from the others. So whether you believe mormonism or not, you have no right to mock any religion. Especially if you don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Honey let me tell u shes correct. I was in this religion for 40 yrs. U need read up. What your told is "anti" is real history. I use to defend mormonism just like u until I read the facts. Journal of discourses is a good starting point. And it's joseph and Brigham own writings.
Before around 1920 the book of mormon had maps inside of it, they figured out that the it litterally couldn't work with the distances shared and the places Joseph Smith identified as locations in the book. The reason why mormons don't focus on the cross, is because it was the item of Christs death. The idea being that you wouldn't like people to idolize the symble of your death. I personally don't think Christ minds.
I teach many LDS children and I really wish these parents would stop naming their boys Brigham. I wish they would change the name of BYU but I highly doubt that will happen.
It will and there's lots of Christians and pious people in Peru who far out number them. Heck Catholics there can help. There's lots of catholic restorationists there in Peru too.
I was raised and baptized in the Mormon church, as I got older no one was ever able to answer the questions I had about the reason for the elaborate temples and why Joseph Smith had so many wives, just the utter closed minded way of thinking. I’m 49, never been married, never wanted any children, a lot of that has to do with what was expected of me and how I saw women being treated as a second class citizen. To this day I hate going into churches, it to me years to realize I could stop hating God, that he had no part in man made religion.
exmo lex has a very anti mormon channel. she too was raised very mormon and fell for it hook line and sinker. then when she found out it was a great hoax and she had been lied to she went 100% against it. her channel is really very rabidly anti mormon. i think it's wrong to let someone else control you're mind. i mean i totally understand the great hatred that exmo lex developed. but she's the only one feeling what she feels. i was the same way about a lot of things in my life. so i know what it is to lie in bed sending myself to sleep with hateful thoughts. much better to find that understanding that allows you to enjoy the beauty each day brings. don't let someone else guide your thoughts. like jesus said, "love your enemies". it's a very difficult thing, but in the end you're the only one that feels what you feel, and you're the only one the pays the penalty for bad thoughts. it sounds like you've already realized the above, and i was just commenting to show that other people have had to work through things just like you did.
You must have really took offense to something someone said. Going out of your way to bash a religion. You have fulfilled prophecies in the scriptures, lol
I' m from Ukraine. I visited mormons because i study english with them, but i never believe and accept their religion. i always suspected that something wrong, because why they teach us english free
joe morris actually, Joseph Smith did own garments at the time of his death. The morning of his martyrdom, he received revelation that he shouldn’t put them on because he was going to die that day. In addition to a reminder of our promises to God, garments are a protection. Not against nonmembers, that’s silly. But I know someone who got into a car crash a few months back. Suffice it to say that he should have died. But he didn’t have a single scratch anywhere that his garments were covering. I’ve heard of so many miracles like that, that it’s hard to believe we’re just being fed lies by our leaders. I know that my church is the true church of God and nobody can take that away from me. I know this was a really long answer to a really simple misunderstanding but I want all the good-intentioned people that are trying to make me lose faith to know that their slander isn’t going to work on me.
This was the reason why anyone found it hard to believe in Mormonism because they were trying to learn something they cannot understand unless they read first and pray about the Book of mormon if it is true. Sister, I encourage you to first read the Book of mormon and pray to God if it is true. This is the only way you can find and judge for yourself if it is true.
They don't tell you many things of their doctrine, but the most important thing is they do not tell you that their Jesus and God are not of the bible. They are exalted men gods, according to Mormonism. Also, Jesus is created which is false, Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold they said unto me: Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear. 2 And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center.
@@1inthestove314 no I do believe the BOM to be the word of God, I’m more concerned that a) you’re trying to use it to negate its truthfulness, which is nonsensical, and b) that you’re definitely using it wrong because I know what those verses are in reference to and it’s not supposed to be used that way. I’m not worried that you’re actually able to disprove the scriptures by quoting them, I’m more worried that you think you can.
@@irelyndhenry4300 The way to know their truthfulness is by asking God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ if the Book of Mormon is true. Not by contending with the scriptures, and with that said I am glad you have a testimony of the fullness of the gospel.
Fascinating listening to Alanis, had no idea she had studied all this.... "I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is ripping up the Book of Mormon"
Also interesting is the stance the LDS Church took towards Hitler and Nazi, which is well documented in "The Nazi State And The New Religions: Five Case Studies In Non Conformity" by Christine Elizabeth King
Married a mormon woman in 1998. I know this religion as I took lessons early on which made me decide it was false. Just this week my family decided to leave the church and you helped me open the eyes of stout mormons. Thank you for your help.
When I used to live in California, I went to a ward where people were kind, sociable and friendly to me. But one day, when I was at a grocery store, I went to a check out line behind a lady who goes to the ward and is usually kind to me at church. I called out her name with a greeting, no reaction from her. I tapped her on the shoulders with a greeting along with her name, no reaction from her. Then when I saw her at church the following Sunday, she greeted me with a smile. I decided to look at her as if I didn't know her, and didn't react to her.
When i was in a dark place, 2 missionaries knocked on my door they were the sweetest girls from america, i met with them several times, they wanted me to be baptised!!! I started to read the book of mormon.. but had never read old or new testament. So i started to read them first.... at this time id only jus accepted that there was a god!!!!!!! Something about the book of mormon jus didnt feel right even then... so i googled and found out most this stuff that was in the video. Jesus is the way.. no sequels.
@Taiwan92Abarth I'm a former Member, actually. If Moroni's challenge only has 1 answer and that answer is God is real and the church is true then that is an unfalsifiable claim. I received the opposite feeling about the BOM than yourself. Why is my experience less valid?
@Taiwan92Abarth my profession involves deconstructing brainwashed cult members. LDS bears all the characteristics of a cult, it's very similar to Scientology in that it's polytheistic and members believe they can 'work' their way upwards and eventually become "Gods".
@Taiwan92Abarth Calling somebody ignorant is very childish. And second, you're in a cult! You're blind! Poor you! You are certainly brainwashed. Jesus is no brother of Satan. There is no polygamy in Heaven. Sex in Heaven??? NOT TRUE! Joseph Smith is a fraud! He took orders from Satan. Oh yeah! He had contact with the Devil. Mormons have been decieved, and are doomed for Hell. I'm glad I'm not a Mormon! I once attended a meeting. I'm never going back! The book of Mormon replaces the King James Bible. Any book that speaks other than the Bible, is Satan talk. You missed the point! I said I belong to no religion. I only believe in God, not man! What's also misleading is that Jesus came where the Aztecs were, and called it the New Jerusalem. No where does that say in the Bible! The New Jerusalem is yet to come. Not of this world!
From the frying pan into the fire. If you really have a personal relationship with Jesus, you don't need a middle man. You are trying, but you are not free to worship as you were intended to until you can do it one on one, without someone in between telling you how you should be doing it. You know in your heart how to do it without interference or instruction Feel God in your heart and welcome Him all on your own. That is a relationship.
@@543US21 why do you assume l or he requires a middleman other than Christ Jesus. Speaking for myself, l do not need a middle man. I place my trust in Christ alone. He is my living hope.
Had Mormon girls come to my home and tried to convert me to Mormonism.Something felt off and I prayed to God for discernment and was led to your videos....
OMG!!! Same here same here!! The boys were so sweet and their talk was so smart that I felt we were the same category of christians but still something was off I felt like there were so much hidden things
People sadly get drawn in by the awesome fellowship that they experience and it is no wonder that “feelings” are so strong to join. But start asking the wrong questions and not accepting the bogus answers and see how long that fellowship lasts. Sinners don’t get to be accepted in the LDS church while Christians understand that church is specially for the sinners, all of us.
Not true. Everyone sins sometimes, however small. That is only true if they commit something horrible like rape, and don't every say sorry and repent for it.
Bro I was literally taught about Polgamy when I was 14-15 in Institute and was curious to know more and context and ask and was given source material from religious teachers, and became informed about anything I wanted to learn and was given historical references and learned alot and prayed about it and understood some of the possible purposes. But I was never denied answers rather given references and encouraged to pray and study.
am a recent convert...and within 4 months in already a 'jacked' Mormon. Why? They're as bad as the catholic church when it comes to hiding child predators. One ex-bishop has a pizza place, ONLY hires young teenage girls. His wife hired me. He was angry. I SAW him being inappropriate with teen girls. I went to the bishop and was immediately gas-lit. Likes it NOT effing 2023. Then i was fired. These schmucks are PATHETIC!
People rarely hear that M-O-R-M-O-N is one letter from M-O-R-O-N. It is believed that Joseph Smith had a hatred of religion and was a con man, so he chose to add the second M. Mormons claim that they believe the Holy Bible, but the Book of Mormon and their other books contradict the Holy Bible many times. When people are talked to about becoming Mormon, many of them ask questions that the young people don't know the answers to, so they research to answer and then find out many wrongs in their religion, then some quit.
@chrisspiller4443 the fact that Evangelicals give a pass at nonsense like calling us Morons just shows the truth behind the so-called Christianity of protestant Evangelicals
Of course they won't tell someone all these things on an initial visit. They usually have about 10 minutes to introduce themselves. I can't imagine a salesman knocking on my door and saying, "Hi, I'm Dave. I wear secret underwear. Would you like to hear what I have to sell you?" This is the same reason we don't teach about mortgages or sex in kindergarten. Or why a university professor teachers things in a certain order. You start with the basics and add to it as the deeper information will be understood. Of course those blasted Mormons won't tell you any of this when they first knock on your door.
they aren't blasted, just highly indoctrinated kids, that if they don't fulfill their mission their WHOLE family doesn't get blessed. It is really a sucky thing but that is what they do. These SHELTERED kids are turned out into a very scary world and told they MUST convert people or their family's STANDING in the celestial kingdom suffers. They get guilted into ALL they do, and it is such a tragedy. The pressure on these KIDS is so enormous. If they bomb or don't complete their mission most of the eligible girls SHUN them as a bad candidate for marriage. They MUST marry, and reproduce to be a TBM, and in good standing with their ward.
@@savannahsmiles1797 Thank you for your post. Didn't know the kind of pressure the young missionaries are under. Have a great New Year. God Bless you, your friends and family.
This was disturbingly incorrect. Most points were flat out false and others were totally out of context. I would pray that everyone be truth seekers and not take these claims to be truth. Feel free to reach out to me for any fact checking or clarification. I will actually provide sources and context. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and offers so much light and truth.
Can you please point out specifically what parts were false and out of context? I'm curious to know which part was not true. I have a general understanding and this video filled in most of the blanks. Can you point out which part specifically was not true so I can learn about it correctly? Thanks!
Hi George, I don’t have much time to do a full rebuttal of all of the claims here, but I’m happy to try to shed some light. Do you mind if I connect with you via email? The overarching claim of this video is that the missionaries of the church will lie or omit parts of the gospel, in essence tricking people into joining the church. Its just not true. I was a missionary for two years and serve now as a ward missionary in my community. I’m well versed in the doctrine of the church, as well as the church history. The church is very transparent about its doctrine and its history. See the Joseph Smith Papers project josephsmithpapers.org, Saints history.lds.org/saints?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_saints_eng, church history topics history.lds.org/, gospel topic essays www.lds.org/topics/essays?lang=eng, and churchofjesuschrist.org which houses all teachings from the church. The church and its members are good, honest people and I would never omit or lie to prospective members. The way she paints the church and its members is totally out of character. “Your church is wrong. Your beliefs are an abomination to God. Your pastor is a hireling of Satan. Salvation is found only in our church. There is no way to achieve any form of salvation outside of the church.” This is not true. Especially the part about the pastor. Just not true. The church believes in an apostasy and restoration. www.lds.org/topics/apostasy?lang=eng#_ www.mormon.org/site/jesus-christs-church/jesus-church-restored “They will not tell you that they are wearing temple garments”. Not true: www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-01-1460-sacred-temple-clothing?lang=eng ua-cam.com/video/5vvN4qJRBM0/v-deo.html Although this is a sacred and personal practice, so it usually isn’t spoken of lightly and frequently. “Temple garments are meant to protect against evil…YOU”. Nope, not you. Nothing like that is remotely taught. As you will see in the videos above, garments are an outward reflection of an inward commitment to God. “They will not tell you about their temple rites at all.” Not true. See videos for example: ua-cam.com/video/Fd8tVXN9y6Q/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/gA6aTiMDYho/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/xSiwmYzSYTM/v-deo.html “Temple worship is taken from Freemasonry and Satanism cults.” Freemasonry was influential in the temple endowment. Satanism cults is completely false. Here is a great reference. www.lds.org/study/history/topics/masonry?lang=eng
“Familiar spirits are good and Book of Mormon has a familiar spirit.” I’m not even sure where this comes from. Members of the church believe in the Holy Ghost. www.lds.org/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng “Mormon women find salvation only through their husbands.” This is just not true. www.lds.org/topics/women-in-the-church?lang=eng “Mormon women will be pregnant through all of eternity so they can populate planets.” Not true and not based in much of anything. This is designed by critics based on the idea that God intends for us to become like him. Creating and populating planets is as good as a description of heaven for members of the church as sitting on a cloud playing a harp is for other Christians. Its just not true. “They intend to become Gods themselves one day.” “Heavenly Father over their own planet”. Heavenly Father over their own planet is not true. Intend to become Gods one day is spun in a half truth way. We believe that we are heirs to God, joint heirs with Christ as the Bible teaches. Here is a great article that would certainly help: www.lds.org/topics/becoming-like-god?lang=eng “Exaltation is done through works and obeying the church.” Not true. We obey Christ’s commandments because of our love for him. By believing in Jesus and repenting of sins, we are saved by grace. All are saved by Christ in that every person will be resurrected and all are saved from Adam’s transgression. From the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 10:24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved. “They intend to have many wives in heaven, not just one.” No, I intend to have one. This claim comes from the polygamy practiced in the early church. You can read about that here: www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng “God is one of infinite Gods out there.” Paul said this in the New Testament, but also said “but for us there is one God.” That is our belief on this. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God. “They are polytheists” Not the case. I highly recommend listening to this talk to get a better understanding. www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/the-only-true-god-and-jesus-christ-whom-he-hath-sent?lang=eng “They believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three completely different Gods” Half truth. The scriptures teach that they are one God, but separate beings. This should be logical to anyone who has read the Bible. See the talk above for this as well. “They will not tell you that you were once a spirit child of the pre-existence.” Of course we will! There is even a cool scroll graphic here: www.mormon.org/resources/plan-of-salvation “Heavenly Father and his multiple wives populated the spirit world.” This is again a half truth. We don’t believe God has multiple wives. We do believe that we are children of God as taught by Jesus and the prophets.
“Baptism for the dead.” “Three levels of heaven”. These are true. Here are some resources: Baptisms for the dead ua-cam.com/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/v-deo.html What happens after we die? ua-cam.com/video/5-futI4wQ_s/v-deo.html “Virgin Mary was not a virgin at all. God came down and had sexual relations with her.” Not true. We believe as the scriptures say that she was a virgin. “They have taught that Jesus had three wives and children of his own. Jesus was a polygomist according to Mormons.” Not true. All we know of Jesus’ life on earth is recorded in the New Testament. “God is an exalted man and lives on a planet near the star Kolob”. Half truth. Joseph Smith believed God was an exalted man. Kolob is a metaphor in the scriptures for Christ. Kolob is described as the star being nearest to God and provides light to all of his creations. People spin it to sound weird and scare people away. “Jesus was Lucifer’s brother.” True. All spirits were children of God. “Heavenly council vote to determine Jesus or Lucifer as savior.” Not true. God presented his plan of salvation for his children. Lucifer and others rebelled against that plan and were cast out of heaven. “There are over 100 divisions within mormonism.” I don’t know about this. There are different break off groups, but there is only one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those groups are not affiliated. “They will not tell you that their scriptures contradict.” “Mormons will side with restoration scriptures over the Bible.” I don’t believe that the scriptures contradict, at least not in any significant way. The bible contradicts itself sometimes, but that is easily understood as it was written by different authors. It might be fair to say members of the church will side with the Book of Mormon over the Bible, but I think more accurately is that they will side with their interpretation of the Bible over someone else’s interpretation of the Bible. All Christians do this. “Not one scrap of archeological evidence for Book of Mormon.” Sort of. But what evidence would you expect? www.fairmormon.org/archive/publications/archaeological-evidence-and-the-book-of-mormon “State of Utah has higher than national average abuse, suicide, etc.” This appeals to emotion. Many scientific studies have concluded that this has nothing to do with the church, and actually church attendance significantly decreases all of these categories. “Joseph Smith was in the occult.” Just not true. “Joseph Smith money digging” True, but out of context. “Joseph Smith freemasonry” True, but out of context. I really enjoyed this book as a biography of Joseph Smith: www.amazon.com/dp/B000XUBEZM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 “First vision accounts.” True. But these aren’t any more contradicting than the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are contradicting. Different emphasis and details in each telling. www.lds.org/topics/first-vision-accounts?lang=eng
My favorite LDS catch phrases: 'It's not secret, it's sacred' 'Put your questions on the shelf' 'Swearing is like a cockroach in the sundae' 'Keep sweet and pray'
@Vincent Regimbal There is a difference between secret and sacred. Because we don't talk about sacred things, people like to exaggerate and say that it is secret.

@@φαρμακεία-πρωταρχικός Ah.. another ticked off person concerning MY religion... NOT YOURS!! I am sure you have told many people about what Books you read have to say about things.

And I am the one who gets to decide if the Book teaches things that are true... or things that are false.

@@MrNirom1 “Oh bad man use bad word, and hurt my feelings, bad man must be wrong.” Using an argument from ignorance fallacy, and circular reasoning just further proves my point. You have no evidence to support the ladder points of the cult you hold so near-and-dear. Those of us who don’t just take the first thing we read at face value, and apply it to our everyday lives as fact tend to be more reasonable then those who lack the courage to research anything that conflicts with their singular understanding of reality. Learn to think for yourself, and stop relying on religion to think for you.

LDS. Huge push on FAMILY VALUES. As long as your LDS ( I'm no Mo). And stay married. I got divorced from a Mo and I was instantly excommunicated from the entire family. Which is fine. Seeing her father walk around the house in his Jesus jammies used to make my eyeballs throw up. And watching a bunch of grown adults crying their eyeballs out with their speeches aka "testament" about how much they believe in "the prophets" and Joey Smith (the pedophile) was depressing.
I take it you don't understand about divorces. When you get a divorce the person you are getting a divorce from their family will stop having anything to do with you because they're taking their family member side.I also have a feel they never liked you in the first place because you sound like real dumbass.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Apparently she is has never been to an LDS Church. Because most of what she is say is absolute BS. Love how she is like “I tell my Mormon friends and they never heard any of this”. Yes, because you are making up or repeating rumors you heard that don’t exist 🤦🏼♀️
I've been to the Sacrament meeting and classes afterwards. In recent months. I have LDS sources for every single point in this same video that I redid.. ua-cam.com/video/EF9lIlK9j8k/v-deo.html
Am exmormon. Almost all of this is true. I can't say all of it is true because there were things I didn't even know about, but theologically speaking make sense with the church gospel.
Infinite pregnancies...That's a kind of hell I would not wish on my worst enemy...The magic undergarments part had me in stitches, that's some grade a Scientology bull level.
Actually it's a personal choice left to the couple. Some people just "leave it to God" and have no qualms about not using protection. It's in handbooks that a couple should only have the kids they can afford and care for
@@ah5721 if the "let the children come" slogan would never have come from an LDS prophet then it would not be in the handbook to begin with. Surely you remember the "let the children come" speech?
"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" is the one command from God that mankind has had no problem obeying. At almost 8 billion, I think the mission is pretty well accomplished. Catholics don't see this, however. And of course it's different with Mormons because they believe you have to populate a whole new earth with your progeny in the next life.
Jess, great video. Can you give me a call? I've got a couple of questions I want to run by you. It's about the fact that the upper echelons of the church (the "70" and above) MUST know the truth about Joseph Smith and therefore must be rationalizing, or flatly lying, about this whole religion. And I have a couple of more questions. I'm in San Diego, so if you could call me between 12 noon and 5p PST, that would be best. The call won't be long but I want to get your thoughts on some things. Oh, by the way, YOU are an absolute delight. Tim
I think you are both missing the point here. Grace and faith are two different things. Grace is decided by Jesus and faith is decided by us and both are required to achieve the maximum outcome in an afterlife... So we come across an argument that I see so many times, but actually both sides of the argument miss the context of the point... Our faith cannot save us nor can our works if Jesus decides not to apply his grace... Grace is a decision based on how Jesus considers our situation.. Now to go with the Mormon point of view, Jesus grew in favour of God as he practiced doing his will, which means that as Jesus said as a warning "by there works you shall know them". If you believe his words you will follow the two parables as Jesus taught.. 1. Not to hide your light 2. To be a good Samaritan. Jesus also talks of what keeps you out of heaven, and it's not Based on false beliefs, false prophets etc, which were rife during Christ time. Rather than do what this post tries to do,bwhich destroys good faith in what are called "true believer Mormons", but is more on the fact in how well you live your life.... Can a Hindu be saved? Or a Muslim be saved? Even if they have no passing mention of Jesus between their ears? Grace applies here as Jesus will say, these lived their lives as good people etc, it won't matter of the false doctrine they were taught. If a Mormon keeps their values as the ancient Essenes did and serve man and woman in their best capacity according to their beliefs, god's grace is more lightly apply to these than professors of faith who like the Pharisees taught good things but their hearts were far away... I think both sides of the argument miss the point and neither understand grace or works...
Calibration Technique you have a very good point, which in retrospect is almost exactly what I believe but couldn’t articulate nearly as well as you, nor did I really try as I should have. Thank you for your perspective!
That leaves me out at 55...and I would not submit to slavery by pregnancy . Also it's by faith we are saved not by works we are saved. However, faith without works is dead.
@Rhonda You are saved by Having Faith in Christ, You will receive Grace. It is a gift of God.once you have Grace. God will guide you to do his Works, not Man's works
James 2:26, it's in the context of James talking to the twelve Jewish tribes about their materialism in their ideas about works getting you into heaven. I love James, my favorite book that I've studied
you guys are silly. no one makes you have any kids .....just like outside of the church. you and your spouse determine how many kids you have. No one else even has a say. Just more lies being spread about Christ's church. Its' OK it was happening 2000 yrs ago and still goes on today.....i guess we are used to it :)
Salvation only occurs after death, and only for those who lived righteously after accepting Christ - it is impossible to be “saved” while still in this life, which is a false doctrine Christ directly states that you must endure to the end before salvation can be applied to your life - Matthew 24:13 We are saved by Christ's grace, but only after being judged by our works - Titus 3:5, Titus 1:16, Rev. 22:12-14 Perform the Lord’s statutes even until the end - Psalms 119:112 Worldly people despise Christ's true plan of salvation and dangerously invent their own - 1 Cor. 1:19-29 We save ourselves by pondering the doctrine and doing it - 1 Timothy 4:16
even though I don’t want to be a member of the church anymore, and I am finding my way, a lot of the things you claim in the video aren’t true/way over exaggerated and misunderstood. There are definitely things about the church that have caused me to leave, but some of this is just not true.
I am currently working for a mormon family…They have been tryng their best to drag me to their church…At first they asked the missionaries to come share the gospel with me…When they did i was so drawn to what they were saying and believed them…They have a way of manipulating and getting into your heard…The second time they came they had their bible with them and a copy for me…From the moment they left i had a lot of questions and doubts about their teachings because they were contradicting with what i have learnt from the bible and so i went on a 3 day fast…That is when the Holy Spirit spoke to me..I thank God i ddnt give in to temptation because their approach will make you believe in whatever they teaching…Very sweet,kind people you wouldn’t second guess them…I asked them to stop calling me and they must not bother coming to give me lessons..Its been weeks now and they are still texting me and tryng to manipulate me…Even the family im working for is busy trying to lure me to their gospel each and every day…I know i am in the right path with God and i will hold on to him forever
My step dad verbally and physically abused me most of my life and he was a cop and follows the Mormon faith and when I went to his bishop to ask for help I was told go back and say I’m sorry and obey him with out question
Im sorry that you were so mistreated by your father and those who are meant guide and nurture- that is not Christ-like at all. I hope you are healing now!

Hi Jessie, you are very informative. I grew up in a Reorgaized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints family home. ( Not Mormon but shared some main beliefs. ) I Believed our church was the only way to salvation and that every one else is going to hell and that the Catholic church was the church of the devil. I was a non active member for years because I kept silent. To make a long story short, at the age of 40 I came out of my bubble when I started asking questions and was not happy with the answers I received. I explored other Faiths. It says in the Bible that God wants us to question everything because in doing so we will find the truth. Wow has my journey of faith changed since coming out of the bubble. I have so many stories of how God has blessed me and those I love. All I need is my Bible. God's salivation is for everyone, not just a chosen few. There is good and bad in all religion........but I also believe more than anything what my Grandfather told me. He said salvation is not how many times you go to church......or what church you go to......it's how you live your life, how you treat your next door neighbor, our actions and the kind of person you are in your heart. God loves everyone. There is good and bad in everyone. I would also like to point out that in the Bible it says why satan was kicked out of heaven and who he is/was. The Bible are the only words I need. I pray you will be blessed in your search for the truth. You are definitely on the right track. Thanks for listening or reading my post. Peace Out.
My answer should not sound harsh to you as it is difficult to show how I really mean it by writing. I mean it with love. Sorry you´re wrong! You think your way is the same as for example the Christian way. But the way with Jesus Christ is unique. He is the way, the truth, the life and no one cometh to the father but through him. It´s about our sin before God. That made the gap between God and men. (the spiritual and also bodily dead).True repentence is what God wants and always wanted from us. He loves us but will judge correctly. As everybody is somehow guilty he would have to judge all of us. The wages of sin is death. This is also what you might have heared about heaven and hell. I know that in some famos east religions they talk rather of reincarnation and drop hell. But hell is real. So God in his love for us send his only begotten son that he would pay our wages. He suffered and died instead of us. When you truly repend and accept Jesus Christ as your savior and give your live to him in a serious prayer, you will be free of sin (wages of..) immediately and will receive his holy spirit which also means that you will be bornagain. A bornagain Christian. You would notice the difference. Please then (go on ) praying to Got in Jesus Name or to Jesus Christ and read the bible. It´s not about being rich and always of promised good health. It´s not about energies. It´s not about wishes to be fulfilled. Its not about meditating and hearing inner voices (I had my experiences... with "Angels", "Jesus" and others) Find out. It´s really serious. Please find out. There are also many false preachers. It´s not about (trying) to be good. It´s about accepting his salvation. But , as I am not native english speaking I don´t know many, but you may listen to Paul Washer, John Lennox, ...and of course going on reading the bible. Please excuse me if I misunderstood something. May God bless you.
When i was younger and going through trauma i got baptised into a mormon church, however i dont remember being baptised but i went away for a while, like 15 years and learned about freemasons etc, i bumped into the elders again a few months ago and ive told a few of them about a few things you mention in this videobut its the arrogance of them and no chance of changing their minds, as they have pre programmed responses to everything and i didnt even get a chance to explain my case, cause you know they're right haha, ive just told them im not getting involved with them now
You really think you are so all that. Is this all you know how to do? Why do you spend so much time tearing down other faiths instead spreading the message of Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross so we could enter into his presence?
"It's not secret, its sacred". "The church is perfect, its members are not". "We are a peculiar people". "Doubt your doubts". "Its a higher law, we cannot understand as mortals"....blah, blah, blah. The Mormons have a lot of canned answers at the ready when you bring up questionable stuff. Anytime you challenge someone, expect the canned answers to come out.
It's Me Jessie Oh and when I said whom the Lord call He qualifies, I meant those who are call by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. If you are not called to preach by that Priesthood authority you should not speak at all.
Burke Shields No, Our Heavenly Father is a God of order, he has one faith, one , baptism, and one church. He call women and men but that priesthood to preach and teach the Gospel. No man and that includes women take to this honor unto himself but he that was ordained as was Aaron. And how was Aaron ordained? By the laying on of hands by those who are in authority to administer the ordinances of the Gospel.
I rented a basement from a Mormon lady for a while. I went to the ward or stake or something a couple of times. A couple of missionaries came out and talked to me and you are right. it seems like we hit it off so well. They wanted to baptize me right away. Oh my goodness. But I got busy and started researching everything on the Internet. When I came across the part where they think that God the father is a human being, that was it for me. I went to her and said”You believe that God is a man? So who created God?” She said to God was created by another God who was in turn created by another God before him, etc., ad infinitum. I told her, “when you find the first God who was not created by any other god, That’s the God I’ll be worshiping!” I mean I guess I’m supposed to be merciful and compassionate, but really what I want to say is “how dumb can you be?”
You don't know even the first things of "The Word of God", but yet you DEMAND to know who the FIRST being was? That's like not even knowing how to count from 1 to 10, but yet you REFUSE to believe in numbers until you are told "who invented the first number"?- And you ask "How dumb can you be?"
My husband was born in the Mormon church. He became a Christian about 15 years ago. His mom, who is a very nice lady, but under the Mormon spell, kept sending missionaries to our home. I was the one usually home & would nicely say “ We are happy in our church, he is not home” They started trying to go behind my back to get ahold of him. Thankfully we moved last year & are in a gated community.
Christopher Foote Let me interpret for you: His mommy and daddy were Mormons. When he was born his family was Mormon. He was raised in the Mormon church. Or said succinctly: he was born mormon.
@@christopherfoote4643 hayy! We know what she Mean about being born mormon its about born and grown Up with brainwash mormonism endoctrinement process For 8 years before get baptise.Peoples are not dumb .we get it ,Nice try but your Little sect Tactic don't work here.
Christopher Foote My friend Christopher. It does matter because A) the Book of Mormon contradicts God’s revelation. B) we care for you guys and believe that you deserve better than living a life in a false teaching and doctrine. If you choose to remain Mormon then God will still be the judge. The difference is, if you join orthodox (correct teaching) Christianity then you will discover a relationship with God that you never experienced before.
wowser - so timely - on racism... what I love about Wikipedia is the links to off-site info - just found "Interracial Marriage and the Church of JC of LDS" - so many links and footnotes
Blacks were not allowed the priesthood until 1978 and that was only so they could become tax exempt. This is why I never understand why any black person would join this cult. They are racist AF. They teach that blacks are cursed and evil. That's why their skin is darker.
@@OneLove-nx1mu Just realize (again) that 90% of the world population are given the title *minority.* Just use that as a "reality check". At some point you have to realize that all this *Virtue Signaling* is based on a lot of seriously screwed up deceptions. If 90% of the world are given the title minority then should you sacrifice yourself to protect those who vastly outnumber you? Who is really getting deceived her? In math the word "minority" is supposed to mean a smaller percentage not 90%.
I have called them many times on some of these subjects, especially about joseph smith. They simply deny them. They just say that my.information is incorrect and theirs is correct?
I left the Mormon church almost two years ago and am now attending a non-denominational Christian church. Having said that, I think it's important to remember that just because a Mormon said something at some point, does not mean that it is what all Mormons believe today. Many of the things that were shared in this video are simply not at all what I was taught in my 42 years of weekly attendance at the Mormon church. I realize there are probably references for all of the "facts" that were shared here, but that does not mean this is what all Mormons believe today. Mormons throughout its young history have said all kinds of things that are not considered to be the doctrine of the church today. I also know many Mormons who hold personal beliefs that do not necessarily reflect what is always said at the pulpit. This makes the whole conversation endlessly complicated. It is my hope that we can all offer one another the same grace that we EACH so desperately need in this life.
I understand fully what you're saying. Yes, I can back up every claim made in the video and I do admit that yes, some of the things are not taught today (but were at some point by a "prophet!") so I can't just dismiss the past stuff and pretend it wasn't taught. Most things stated are current beliefs, though, and are not disclosed unless you search it out and learn it for yourself. So many secrets. So much kept hidden. Even people who join the church usually have NO IDEA what is done in the temples or that the goal is to become a god one day. Most people are unfamiliar with Joseph and Brigham and other's polygamy and contradicting teachings about who God is.... etc!! And this info needs to be made known. I also hear you when you say to extend grace to one another but I simply cannot extend grace to people who are living in ignorance (many willingly) while they are serving an absolutely false god/gods. I need to proclaim the truth! As a Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus and wants the world to come to know Him as their personal Savior, I have to expose false beliefs and proclaim the truth of the Word of God and I want to share the one and only true God and make Him known.
To be honest, I wasn't looking for a video such as this but the title caught my attention. Reading a lot of these comments, I have to say I agree with you. I had been a Mormon for over 30 yrs & I wasn't taught a lot of the things in this video & I have never heard of families not being able to be with their family members if they were excommunicated from the church. But hey, it seems a lot of church leaders in a lot of different denominations have never even read the Bible. So, the way I look at it is, if you want to be close to God, read the Bible, gain a close relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus and don't sweat the small stuff. We can cant self righteousness till the cows come home and point the finger at any Church and go on a fault finding campaign but that will not make us better people. Just saying... probably good to ask questions and choose your lifestyle with care and thoughtfulness.
i don't want to detract from jessie's comment, but i do have a question for any mormon. how do you know what the true teachings of present day mormonism is? if you can't get it from reading the standard works, or elders quorum lesson manual, or sunday school manual, or the official online mormon website? how do you know for yourself what the true mormon doctrine is, and h ow do you know that jessie is not repeating official modern mormon doctrine? if there is no written documentation for what you believe, aren't you then in danger of leading yourself and others astray with false teachings?
@@longnamenocansayy My take is, if you can't find the info by reading the official works, manuals & etc. then you have to consider the frame of reference. Then too, look at all the changes in the Catholic church. People don't question the changes so it shouldn't be surprising that the Mormon church makes changes. I believe there is such a thing as spiritual growth so maybe... It's why we need to keep studying the Bible. God opens our eyes when we're ready and able to understand.
Julia Dawn Olson Just to throw my two cents in; I come from a very heavily influenced Mormon home and my mother believes every single point made in this video. The bottomline here, in my opinion, is not whether all Mormons believe the LDS church doctrine or have even heard of most of these things. It’s that this church was not founded on biblical principals and biblical account of Christ Jesus. Which makes it a false Christ (Matthew 24:24) and because they think works and baptism and repentance saves they will be cast out (Matthew 7:21-23) Ignorance is not the same as innocence and we should be mindful of what people who speak “Christianese” say. That’s my take
I need help with prayer my wife won't leave the mormon church shes been there 7 years and I recently left few months ago I was there for 5 years but I never believed in there gospel or there book. I was going to be with her and my son but I dicided to leave because the holy spirit helped me to break out of there. I still have problems with my wife every day and she don't believe in the holybible or any Christian church she gets mad when I go to my church on Sunday and all week I try and read the bible daily. I'm sad because she wants to lead my kids to her false religion and don't want to listen to me. So please brothers and sister can you pray for my wife norma lindan. Thank you God bless you all.
I love this video!! I was raised in the LDS “religion” and left just about four years ago. I wanted to leave my whole life but it was terrifying. It has been the biggest blessing to leave. Minus the hurt from family etc. Apparently I’m “humiliating”. Anyways... thank you for spreading truth. Most of these things I did not at all know which is so sick.
Then you know nothing of the doctrine of the restored Gospel of Christ. The "cross" is everywhere in LDS theology, but Latter-day Saints understand it correctly whereas you do not.
@@rodinutah Then please explain to us how it is that a woman who does not have the opportunity to marry will not be able to enter the celestial kingdom. If the husband is an adulterer- what them becomes of the children that were sealed to their parents in the temple? Are they now no longer going to the celestial kingdom since their dad fell from grace and now they are no longer sealed to him? It seems like a family's salvation/making it to the celestial realm is dependent on a faulty man. If I am wrong here- please feel free to explain in a way we can all understand. Thanks in advance.
Well, my only answer to you is that Heavenly Father is a loving father. He will not deny any blessings to those who are worthy of them. A woman who has not had a chance to marry in this lifetime will be given that chance in the eternities. Children are innocent and will be also be blessed with those blessings they deserve. It will all be worked out in the end.
@@rbwinn3 As a person who was adopted by a Mormon family, and who "was" a Mormon for over 10 years, I can tell you that you are the flaming liar, and I would call you a liar in your face while DARING you to do something about it. Wanna try me?
@@rbwinn3 Oh, and here is a FACT. Joseph Smith WILL NEVER be a "God" to make planets to rule over. And neither will you since there is only one Creator and since there will ALWAYS only be one Creator. Deal with it, there's NOTHING you or anyone else can do to change this fact.
@@richardstorm4603 Well, what I plan to do is wait until I am resurrected and let Jesus Christ decide what I am going to do. You concerned Christians all think you are sent here to be judges of mankind. That comes from praying to a god without body, parts or passions. Satan does not have a body or parts. He does have a passion, which is hatred for the people who pray to him.
I spent most of my life in the church. Off and on again. Was not really active until later in my life. I took out my endowments at the age of 40 . I left at age 55 now 60. My family was always active in the church and they turned their backs on me as well as my wife and a couple of my children. I'm still married but not much longer. We agreed to just not talk about religion. But my wife has never passed up the chance to remind me of the huge mistake. And I just can't go on that way. Our marriage isn't a marriage anymore. Not even friendship remains at this point. Pretty miserable living with someone who you no longer have anything in common with. I'm pretty lonely aside from my relationship with my savior. I need a woman in my life. And because of my age and the fact I haven't dated in over 40 years. Just don't know where to start. Pray for me.
Sir, you need Jesus. Jesus said, "Follow Me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down. John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. Jesus is my substitute (i.e. Isaiah 53:4-6). He is way more than my example. A substitute does it for us. An example shows us how but we must still do it. He personally paid the penalty for all my sin. As a result, of His mercy I want to obey His commandments. Jesus as my righteousness, as our law-keeper (i.e. Romans 5:19, 1 Corinthians 1:3; Isaiah 61:10) The biblical truth is that Jesus kept the law for us I know for sure that I have been completely forgiven (i.e. Hebrews 10:14-17) and am accepted by God (i.e. 1 Peter 2:9). I know God is with me, providing and protecting me (i.e. Romans 8:31-39, Psalm 23). I know for sure that when I die I will live eternally with Heavenly Father (i.e. Philippians 1:23). I have no doubts because my acceptance by God depends entirely on Jesus’ work for me and he has already accomplished it (John 19:30). ua-cam.com/video/r0mckI8Xfl8/v-deo.html
Sir, please dont give up. You did the right thing. I will pray for you okay. I just turned 60 this month. I am alone also, aside from having the Dear Lord in my life. Hang in there, my Friend.
That's what I used to think. I've never been happier since I've decided a woman isn't what I need. What I needed was to be ok with being alone. It's not only liberating, but I don't worry about trying to make someone else happy. Remember, you at one time thought your current wife was what you needed, how did that work out? No one to waste your time trying to do the impossible of jumping through hoops to make them happy... No one to disappoint=no one who will disappoint you. Think of being alone as a win-win situation.
@@jdspunkd and you said this because you were influenced by what she's saying ... i would suggest you to try and find out what the church is all about yourself and have an opinion of your own then, honestly these days people are so influenced by the opinions of others
@@jdspunkd I suggest going to the LDS UA-cam Channel and watching the plan of salvation video...... It should clarify some things she got wrong in the video
Don't judge your poor Mormon neighbors by this video, much of it is not true, or partially true with a lot of inflation. Mormons are on the whole very good people, and would make excellent neighbors
@@itsmejessie It's really not though, some is true, some is half true, some is just crazy talk... ;) It's clear by your information you don't have a good grasp of Mormonism at all.
Lying for the lord... I was very disappointed in my Mormon friend, when we were discussing the Bible versus Book of Mormon. I told her Mormons think they become gods when they die which is extremely blasphemous according to the Bible. She proceeded to tell me that she read that we call become gods from the Bible itself, and she said it in such a firm way that we both knew she was lying through her teeth but she didn’t respect me enough to admit the truth. I’m not particularly religious but it disgusted me
Just to help you understand. They are groomed to be missionaries to their friends and neighbors..generally speaking, you get so wrapped up in the grooming, you overlook things..not good, but the mind f@ck is deep! And you dont know what you're doing.
Here is a tip for anyone taking "Lessons" form a couple Mormons , hand them back the "Book Of Mormon" and ask them for a copy of Doctrine and Covenants by Joseph Smith. If you read that more then likely you will be able to send them on their way....I was given a copy of this while taking the Mormon lessons years ago by my girl friend....at the third lesson I had so many questions for the boys their heads were spinning....by girl friends father sitting in on the lessons was so mad it was the last time I could see his daughter....I was not suppose to know about this book until I joined up with the Mormon CULT.
lol most of the time the D&C are in the same book as the BOM; idk what you’re talking about. Also, I really would like to be nice about this but shame on you for doing that to the missionaries. They are TEENAGE BOYS. If you wanted a serious discussion about perceived inconsistencies you should have sought out a scholar of the BOM, not two kids who had most likely gone through what is essentially a doctrinal crash course before being sent out halfway across the world.
@@irelyndhenry4300 so they can preach, but no one else is allowed to preach back? They came knocking on my door and disturbing my peace with their lies. for money.
Yes, the Doctrine and Covenants is really interesting. And usually the potential convert doesn't know about it. It does come as a separate book, but the entrenched Mormons usually only have it as a "Combination book" where the Church publishes it as a Trilogy all-in-one book together with The Pearl of Great Price and the Book of Mormon. It's easier to convert people if they have only read the Book of Mormon, since the Doctrine and Covenants has "The Lord" saying some very unbecoming things, such as Setting the Stock Price for shares in Nauvoo House at LITERALLY $50 each, and numerous other ridiculous things. Most of the Doctrine and Covenants is the Lord HIMSELF speaking (supposedly). It's rather bad. It also has God speaking of women as objects.
They also teach that the Book of Mormon is a second testimony or witness of Jesus Christ and that he visited his other sheep here in the Americas. In Moroni 10:3-5 in the last chapter of the Book of Mormon, you are given a wonderful promise that you can know for yourself by the power of the Holy Ghost that the book is true. That witness of the Holy Ghost is how I gained and continue to know it's true. I also applaud Christian's of any faith who follow the Saviors teachings. Anyone can tear down the leaders, teachings, and history of any Christian faith and show some ugly things...proves what? Christ is our Saviour and redeemer. Let his words and his spirit guide you, not someone who only looks to criticize others. The Book of Mormon is true or fake. Make the effort to read it yourself and ask God if it's true...only He can let you know in a way you will know for yourself it's true. You can't prove God is true on paper. It requires faith and effort, then you can receive a witness for yoursef.
@tapir rider 1:26 - The undergarment thing = WITHCRAFT Mormons practice witchcraft. Like all witches do, Mormons stalk, blacklist, harass with passive aggressive harassments and do everything they can to use white collar methods to destroy your life. Mormons also have a relationship with the local witches covens. They contract much of their dirty work out to the street witches so that their hands remain clean.
@tapir rider Nope, the Mormons keep kicking me out of apartments in Arizona. I have watched them and seen them with my own eyes stalking people together. You have no idea how deep the wickedness of the Mormons. Joseph Smith was a witch. Mormons aren't the only so called "christians" practicing witchcraft. Many Catholics in south american countries and the Caribbean practice Santeria. Santeria is a form of witchcraft and voodoo that involves human sacrifice and cannibalism. Protestants practice new age spiritism. No my friend, you may know some f-ed up sh--t about the Moronians ...but you don't know the whole story. Do a search on "Hidden Video Camera Mormon Rituals". You will see it with your own eyes. LOL
@@D.c.0 Hey, thank you so much for your testimony. What you said about Mormons not even acknowledging that hexing people with their secret language is witchcraft. Even Witches refuse to accept that what they're doing is exactly what the Bible says their doing, summoning up demons and unclean spirits to perform blessings , cursings, tasks and revealing hidden information for them. The self professing witch will tell you that they know their power comes from spirits in the spirit world and that they have absolutely no idea who are the spirits, but will adamantly deny that they're the devils, demons, unclean spirits and Satan's powers and principalities. In Acts 16, Paul cast an unclean spirit out of a fortune teller who was passive aggressively harassing Paul. That very hour the unclean spirit left her, she lost all her powers of divination and fortune telling. Even Christians deny this. Christians think witchcraft is not real and that witches are imagining things to their own detriment. They're denying Jesus Christ the Messiah when they do so. I used to be guilty of that line of thinking too. Until (1) I saw the powers of witchcraft work and (2) I started studying the Bible about the mark of beast, demon possession and all those topics over 95% of all so called christian pastors and catholic priests refuse to teach. I saw both of your comments. Thank you for your post and may the great God of Adam, Noah, Moses, the 12 Apostles bless you and all those you love and cherish the most.
I did all that Mormon stuff including going on a mission… the day I walked off the plane from a mission…got a honorable release and never went back to church…The interesting thing… no one ever called… not even the bishop that just released me. I found out the most important thing, the truth…I was extremely expendable. Bottom line… LDS church is a business. I was played a fool and now I have found true spirituality.
@ Joe Cox. Oh come on Joe. There is much more to the story that what you are telling. I wonder why no one called? Not one person? No one! Wow Joe... this smells awful fishy to me. Honorable release and never went back to church. LOL Something stinks to high heaven.

You realize you don't have to justify your sinful choices by misrepresenting Mormonism right? The church doesn't hate you for your wrong choices, lol.
My friend is a former Mormon and she hob-nobed with "Mormon royalty" in the seventies.....
She dated an Osmond, rode horses with apostle Boyd K. Packer's kids, was a winner in the Miss Provo and Miss Utah Pageants, ran for Miss USA, was Belle of the Y Princess, and did her PhD and taught at BYU. She knows all there is to know about Mormonosm, and she says this video is 100% TRUE and accurate! And my friend would LOVE to go on this podcast and help support Jesse---because Jesse is telling the Truth!
I pray that the Osmond’s all leave this church. Then I think it would collapse. Do the Osmond’s know all of this?
@@lauraevans3709.... The Osmonds are all phonies! My friend who knew them says they'll never leave Mormon cult as it gave them the opportunity to be "stars".. They were out for money and fame. And the church used THEM as a PR gimmick. They recruited their groupies into Mormonism . It was sick
They even had a Osmond Convert Club to entice kids into Mormonism-- it was disgusting. The Osmonds were NOT Christians. My friend never heard them mention Christ even once. And Wayne tried to get her into the back seat of the car! After that she never dated him again as she was a Christian.
I have been a member for 2yrs and have found so many things wrong with the church that doesn't add up with the Bible. This yr I am getting back with my Christian ways and moving away from the Mormon beliefs
That sounds hard, I’ll be praying for you fellow sister in Christ! I’m happy you looked into it and are going back to being a Christian. ❤️✝️
No not that hard since I still read the Bible and not reading the book of Mormon or other books from the Mormon church

Mormons are legendary for their "newspeak" . as a jr high kid I was told not to tell people what church I attended, but to invite kids to church. That people would prejudge us without getting to know us...they were right.
In high school i went to seminary classes before school, they had us study the KJV in my sophomore year. I kept reading it and by my senior year had many difficult questions and deep misgivings about what they were saying to outsiders vs. what they were teaching me, as i was preparing for missions, we had been to the temple and participated in baptism for the dead, and that KJV kept coming up, you know, John 3:16&17...Eph 2: 8-10...stuff like that...so I started asking questions.
The questions were not welcome. And after a period of time, I wasn't either.
Fast forward 2 years I join the Marines...on Sunday if you go to church you can escape the watchful eye of the drill instructors for 2 hrs! So I went to the LDS service...within 2 weeks of filling out the visitors card, tha minister in charge met me at the door and explained where all the other denominations met...I was blackballed! Not that I'm hurt, just a fun example of LDS love....the holy spirit got ahold of me a few years later, and I'm saved now. Pray for your LDS frieds, the indoctrination theye been through is powerful...they're convinced if they lose their membership they're eternally cursed...it's sad really, no assurance of salvation.
Your telling the truth, keep it up.
Titus 3:5-7 "according to his mercy"
Thank you. Beautifully said.
YOur experience is completely different from mine Being Raised LDS (church of Jesus Christ of) I was taught to tell everyone what church I attended and to be proud of it. I did and I"m glad. Then my pentecostal friends invited me to their church when I was about 12. I asked my mom what I should do. She said I should go (which I did, those drums were pretty cool even though i sure wasnt used to them but still pretty cool) Then she said invite them to your church which I did. this was over 20 yrs ago and to this day I'm still friends with them. It sounds like your problem is with certain members and how they act but not "the church"
@@dukeball4ever1 I would say the problem is the church. The church wants you to worship a god that was once a man, wants you to make fun of Jesus Christ and say that he is the brother of Lucifer and wants you to believe another gospel.
The Bible calls this idolatry, blasphemy and believing another gospel damns you to eternal torment in hell. Gal. 1:8
I had four LDS missionaries in my home and they wanted me to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and God would automatically tell me it is true. I showed them from the word of God that I do not pray to their heavenly father who was once a man, so I would not get the answer that they would get. I worship the Creator.
The true and living God the Father, who loves you and created you, was never once a man.
Job 9:32 “In truth I know that this is so;
But how can a man be in the right before God?
“For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him,
That we may go to court together.
I Tim. 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
The true and living God was never once a man. He exists by His own power. He is self-existent. He lives outside of the time, space and matter because He created time, space and matter. He has no mother or father, does not need air, food, water, sex, sleep, shelter, clothing, etc.. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable, infinitely holy, eternal and so much more. The highest heavens cannot contain Him. He created Adam out of the dust of the ground. No wife needed. No pre existence.
Why don't you worship your Creator?
Jesus Christ never said you had to believe the Book of Mormon was true to get into heaven.
Jesus Christ never said you had to believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God to get into heaven.
Jesus Christ never said there was salvation only in the LDS church.
Actually I was disfellowshipped, the chaplain told I was welcome to attend any other service on the base....he did not say I was not welcome to attend theirs, but I was asked to leave (kinda the same thing)
@@dukeball4ever1 l once defended the church as you do, untill l researched and saw through the deception. You have simply not discovered the actual truth of the Mormon Corp yet. So many are taken in by their manipulative behavior. They change doctrine like most change underwear.
God is not the author of confusion.
I'm an ex mormon and a lot of the contradictions, awful past evils of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young are never taught. I didn't know that the star symbol was satanic until this video. You live in a bubble that brainwashes you and I stayed out of terror of going to hell if I left. I suffer from Scrupulous OCD (constant obessive thoughts that one wrong move will send you to hell) and the Mormon church completely messed me up to the point I wanted to commit suicide because I was going to hell anyway. Since leaving I still have the OCD but being a Christian is healing me not destroying me. God is merciful and is my Savior who will not push me to hell for being human. Leaving the church was the hardest and most freeing thing ever.
sometimes there is healing from intrusive thoughts. sometimes it's a poisonous plague in the brain that you can't get rid of.
i had it for 60 years because of something in my childhood. for me it was just taking name of jesus and rebuking the evil spirits that had been tormenting for so many years.
but not everyone has the same thing. a lady at work has terrible intrusive thoughts that drive her to thoughts of suicide. so i know it happens to a lot of people.
i hope for sure you find peace of mind somehow.
praise god.
Another mind blowing fact, that the day when you receive your name, EVERYONE IS GIVEN THE SAME NAME!
Another mind blowing fact is that missionaries are tremendously pressured to baptize as many people as possible. In fact, missionaries make use of physiology techniques to deceive people and achieve their daily goals. The LDS church is a billionaire global organization which promotes missionary work and marriages in order to increase its membership and therefore its profits.
@@dannyvalladares5324 Yes! They trick you! Send the most youthful person to your house, that is well mannered and sweet person...
@@dannyvalladares5324 how ELSE are they gonna keep the corporation financed.
Here's a mind blowing fact.
Tricking people into joining doesn't work, and is counter productive, and if a mission president can't see that, he should be released from his calling.
Missionaries teach the gospel and the Book of Mormon. No psychological tricks, no deceptions.
Also, the Church does not need money. The Church has plenty of money. So, that blows up the theory that we need members so they give more money.
@@lindalds I was a full time missionary! I know how things work! At that time I didn't realize I was doing such things cuz I was brainwashed. It's been 5 years since then and now my mind is clear to see things people like you do not want to see. When it comes to the money, how do you thing the church made its fortune? It's obvious. Missionary work, temples and marriages are investments foe the chuch, however, they sell those to its members and investigators as blessings, salvation, exaltation and happiness.
I was once visited by two fine young missionaries. I was invited to join the church. I asked them for help in suderstanding the Book of Mormon. I asked, "Do I understand that the Book of Mormon is the latest information from God for the human rase?" "Yes." I asked them to help me understand Mosiah 13:16-19. "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy... The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." They had no answer for me. I asked them why they did not follow the "latest" information from God for the human race. Answer, "We would get in trouble if we did that." I told them that my church followed that commandment, how could I join a church that only followed 9 out of 10 commandments. I prayed for them.
The elders have told me a few of these and started to get mad when I kept questioning them.
That is normal watch ex-mormon files on you-tube many of them asked questions about mormonism and some have been ex-comminicatesd. Or never answered.
I wasn’t there, but I’ve known probably thirty five missionaries and I cannot stress to you enough that they are just 19 year old boys. They are not religious experts or scholars, they do not have a direct line to God 24/7, and they are not perfect. Please don’t assume that their refusal to answer (or maybe just confusion) is proof against their beliefs.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You have to realize that these young 18/19/20 yr olds are not perfect. They do their best to get a message along but they don’t have all the perfect answers
@@mysterymatrix8527 Jesus requires perfection to get into heaven.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye perfect.
I will talk of my experience. I was going through a very difficult time. Really at rock bottom. I had to go to the church to get help. When more than anything I needed spiritual help. It ended up in years of spiritual torture. I never got a chance to get fully into the church because I had been struggling for so long. I’ve been using my bible app and have been praying and now I know that God was protecting me from going any further.
every church says their church is the only way, this is NOT just taught from the LDS
I had two girls stop at my door one day and needless to say they will not be back I told them everything they did not want to hear about there church
Do you have any printables? I would love to have some sort of reference for when we get visitors at the door ❤

I saw something on UA-cam that I had never known before about Joseph Smith. I have not researched or verified this, but if it's true it very much impacts the credibility of Mormonism. The UA-cam video made the claim that typhoid swept through the Smith family while Joseph was six years old. The disease initially settled in a gland in his armpit which a doctor then lanced and drained with no pain medication. The typhoid then was said to become systemic finally settling in the tibia of his leg. From the report, there were three separate occasions where they cut open his leg, with no pain medication or anesthesia, on three occasions and scraped the infection off the bone and out of the muscles. The psychologist stated that this sort of trauma in early childhood would cause dissociation from reality, and that this could be a lifelong issue. If this is true, it makes me see Joseph Smith in a different light - not as a liar and con man, but as a human being suffering PTSD, and deflecting difficulty or trauma by fantasizing. This, however, does not change the fact that Mormonism is a man made, false religion, and people caught up in Mormonism would be much better off finding the real Jesus of the Bible.
This is crazy seeing this comment because I was taught that Joseph Smith was sick and the infection went to his leg and the were going to amputate it but it miraculously healed through painful treatments of taking the infection out of his leg. I was taught he was even offered whisky and he turned it down because it wasn't good for him. It would make a lot of sense if the trauma made him have these fantasies. It is fascinating to learn stuff like this after being raised LDS.
T Thinker: Well your conclusion is fantasy with no evidence. How could some psychologist who never met Joseph Smith make such an outrageous diagnosis and conclusion? lol Here are some facts with corroborating evidence and witnesses that would stand up in court. Joseph and Oliver were visited by John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Jesus Christ, Moses, Paul, and Elijah--"In the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" according to the bible. At least five people saw the angel Moroni and wrote a testimony of that fact. 13 people saw and handled the gold plates and wrote a testimony of that fact. Numerous people observed the translation process of the Book of Mormon wherein Joseph Smith gazed into the Urim and Thummim, saw the Egyptian figures in the upper portion of the device and the English translation below which he read aloud so that Oliver Cowdery could write it down. Oliver then read it back to make sure he had written it correctly. If he had, the images would disappear and new images appeared and so on. When they returned from a break, Joseph never asked where they left off because he had no idea. He just began reading what was in the Urim and Thummim again. Joseph did not know Egyptian and could not have possibly translated it in normal translation processes. The entire text of some 525 pages was translated in 60. Joseph said it was translated "by the gift and power of God." Try reading the book and ask yourself if such a book could have been written by anyone in 60 days without any revisions. Unlike the bible the Book of Mormon comes with a guarantee that "if you will read with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truthfulness of it unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost." Millions, including myself, testify that they have received that testimony.
There is and always has been only one Jesus Christ, the son of God. He is spoken of as the coming Messiah in the Old Testament and the Redeemer and Savior in the New Testament. It is he who revealed his word to the prophets of the tribe of Joseph which are found in the Book of Mormon. See Ezekiel 37 It is he who said in the New Testament that "other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." He visited the tribe of Joseph and declared himself to be the Christ, the risen Lord. You can read all about his visit and his teachings in the Book of Mormon. He also told them he still had other tribes to visit--the Lost 10 tribes described in the bible.
Jesus Christ began fulfilling the prophecy of Acts 3:19-21by calling a prophet (see Amos 3:7) restoring the fulness of his gospel a second time, restoring priesthood authority so the saving ordinances of baptism and giving the Gift of the Holy Ghost could be accomplished, restoring His church with the same organization and authority it had when he was on the earth, and naming his church. There is nothing man made about it. It's "built on a foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone" just as it was in the primitive church.
@@cornyplays8766 You got the first two sentences exactly right. The last two are nonsense. Just wild speculation and accusation without a particle of evidence. Sounds like you decided to leave the straight and narrow path and go and live in the great and spacious building. You are always welcome back. Hope to see you return.
This is so sad to watch. I feel sorry that you feel the need to attack the LDS church. I am a proud and deeply converted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. LDS general conference is coming up next weekend! I hope that many of you will take the time to watch it and see what the Church really is about.
hey, I was the same way about 2 years ago, then I took a step back an analyzed things. Sure, the church teaches generally good things that will make you happy, but ultimately it can not be true (or highly unlikely anyway) as the claim of it can not be verified. For this, consider a simple experiment.
Since 2 people from two different religions can pray about something and both feel a confirmation of their beliefs, while it is not possible for them both to be correct, then we must conclude faith is not a good measure of truth. Since faith is really the only way to justify belief in a religion, that means, believing in the church (or any church for this matter) is an act that can not be justified, thus since it can not ever be shown to be a justifiable action, it makes no sense to believe in one.
This is a hard pill to swallow but is ultimately the logical conclusion.
Ana, @Cultish will be at the general conference. Please find them and have a conversation. They are very kind and respectful.
I grew up in the church and it blew my mind when I found out they basically believe God lives on a planet called Kolob or Kolab or some shit. Also I do believe most Mormons are just trying to better themselves. Mormons aren't supposed to be judgmental towards anybody but most are. In all honesty, they lost me at 10%. And dont forget to tell the people about Porter Rockwell lol
Kolob is a STAR.
Most churches want you to pay some kind of tithing, that’s actually a biblical based belief, that dosent have anything to do with Mormon doctrine. Yeah I guess a couple bucks a month is tough for lazy ass people who don’t like helping the impoverished
Thank you so much for showing! God bless. I am a Christian. ♥

I recommend naming the source-where in their literature does it say Jesus was a polygamist ? Or is it just something they believe but nothing is written ? A lot of Mormons don’t even know this stuff
Let me get you that source.... give me a minute....
Jedediah M. Grant said:
This ancient philosopher says they were both John's wives. Paul says, "Mine answer to them that do examine me is this:-.Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas." He, according to Celsus, had a numerous train of wives.
The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples, causing his crucifixion, was evidently based upon polygamy, according to the testimony of the philosophers who rose in that age. A belief in the doctrine of a plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers. We might almost think they were "Mormons."
But if you pass on in their history to seek for uniformity and beauty, you will find some grand flare-ups among them. Look, for instance, at Paul and Peter, disputing and quarrelling with each other....
Orson Hyde remarked:
I discover that some of the Eastern papers represent me as a great blasphemer, because I said, in my lecture on Marriage, at our last Conference, that Jesus Christ was married at Cana of Galilee, that Mary, Martha, and others were his wives, and that he begat children.
All that I have to say in reply to that charge is this-they worship a Savior that is too pure and holy to fulfil the commands of his Father. I worship one that is just pure and holy enough "to fulfil all righteousness;" not only the righteous law of baptism, but the still more righteous and important law "to multiply and replenish the earth." Startle not at this! for even the Father himself honored that law by coming down to Mary, without a natural body, and begetting a son; and if Jesus begat children, he only "did that which he had seen his Father do."

Why do the LDS Church teach that the garden of eden is in Jackson Missouri when the bible says the garden of eden was in the middle east ?
I'm not aware of the Bible giving any location
@@jphish8724 In Genesis 2:8-14 tells us that there were 4 rivers ,Pishon,Gihon,Hiddek and the Euphrates river.So it gives us the general area of the garden of eden.Which would be somewhere in morden day Iraq.
@@bus2town I've heard that too, it's a theory by British archaeologist David Rohl, but is not considered academic, nor reliable, and is not widely accepted by serious Bible scholars. FYI, personally I believe the Garden of Eden to be somewhat more metaphorical; I do not ascribe to the LDS, or other traditional interpretations of this and many Bible stories.
In 1921, Doctrines and Covenants removed, "Lectures on Faith". Why?
The Lectures were published in 1835 as the Doctrine portion of The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The Lectures were suggested to be added to this version of the D&C by a committee appointed on September 24, 1834 by a general assembly of the church to arrange the doctrines and revelations of the church into a single volume. That committee consisted of Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, and Frederick G. Williams. The general body of the church accepted the committee's compilation on August 17, 1835 as "the doctrine and covenants of their faith, by a unanimous vote." So if Joseph Smith was on the committee approving it, and he's the end-all be-all prophet, why would the Docrines be removed and furthermore, without a committee vote or explanation why?

Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie-I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. Rev. 3:9 and 2:9
lol thanks but other people who already don’t like us for being weird aren’t really the ones to decide whether we’re “Christian” or not. We center our entire church around Him. Did you know Christ is referenced almost 4,000 times in the Book of Mormon? On average, he is spoken of every 1.7 verses.
alot of these are rumars
@@irelyndhenry4300 yes christ said many would come in his name claiming to do the works of God but he will tell them, I never knew you.
Even satan came disguised as an angel of light.
I'm not here to poke at your religion I believe pretty much all sects or denominations these days are flawed and corrupted because they have become the churches of men, the doctrines of men and they keep the laws of men.
Belonging to any church or denomination is not the way to salvation. God's grace , Jesus sacrifice is the way to salvation. Accept his grace, repent and seek a personal relationship with God. Pray without ceasing and read the scriptures and God will guide you. Religion is of man. Churches are of man.
Nothing created by man will guarantee you salvation. If man could create something that would guarantee you salvation then man would be the ultimate creator right? If man could create a church and tell you "come be a devout member of my congregation and you will have eternal salvation" why would you need god?
That sure sounds alot like the story of adam and eve in the garden of eden when they were decieved by the serpent into committing the original sin...doesn't it?
The serpent said "if you eat of this fruit you will have the divine knowledge and you will be like god, you wont need god" that is called pride, the same sin lucifer commited in heaven that got him cast out and the same sin he decieved man into committing that brought us death and cast out of the heavenly garden of eden. He wanted to put himself on the pedestal next to god, thought his ways were better than God's, he wanted to be the creator.
In the same way that Saying man's word ie "the book of mormon" or man's church "lds" or "Roman catholic" or any other church and there doctrines are the only way to salvation is a complete blasphemy of god and his sacrifice, god already atoned for your sins and guaranteed you eternal salvation through his sacrifice and that was jesus on the cross.
Then along comes man and thinks he can do it better then god, man wants to be the creator and create a new way to eternal salvation, man thinks his word "book of mormon" or any other doctrines is the only way.
Forgetting that god is the creator who knows best and god is the word and gods words create...gods words give salvation if only you would trust in them and that is trust in god because god is the word. God's grace gave us salvation now take up your cross, that is take up a personal relationship with Jesus and seek refugee from this evil world in his word.
Grace is of God...grace is love...God is love. Three things will last forever: faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is love...God is love.
Not condemnation of those who won't eat of the tree of there church "the knowledge of there church" or "the words of there church"
Condemnation is condemning people to an eternity of hell. Which is what your all doing when you say "because your not part of the lds church you wont recieve eternal salvation" that is exactly what Satan does, he condemns man to hell, he knows his judgment because it has already been passed and it is Written, he wants to take you with him. Which is why he decieved man into committing the same sin he committed "pride" so that he could go to God and say: "see God, man has commited the same sin as me so you must pass judgement on him and condemn him to hell as you have condemned me, because you are a just god are you not?" Because misery loves company right?
But god does not condemn us instead god redeems us. God had mercy on us and saved us by his grace, by his sacrifice. So have faith that you are saved by his grace and not because of anything man has or will do.

It's not true that "Mormon" doctrine teaches that we work to earn our salvation. But many get confused. It teaches that salvation is only in and through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast".
Romans 3:28: "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law".
Galatians 2:16: "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ".
Romans 4:5: "God justifies the ungodly".
James 2:24"You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone"
John 2:4 "Whoever claims to know him yet does not keep his commands is a liar, and the truth is not in them."
John 14:15: "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 15:10: "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
Matthew 7:21: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
We didn't earn Salvation through our works, Christ earned it for us, but we must do our best to follow everything Christ commands. And we should never come across teaching that we don't have to obey Christ.
Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
But you can't teach people to sin against God,
Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast".
Romans 3:28: "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law".
Galatians 2:16: "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ".
Romans 4:5: "God justifies the ungodly".
James 2:24"You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone"
John 2:4 "Whoever claims to know him yet does not keep his commands is a liar, and the truth is not in them."
John 14:15: "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 15:10: "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
Matthew 7:21: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
She don’t know what she’s talking about. I’m an inactive member but I will never replace my knowledge of the gospel from the others. So whether you believe mormonism or not, you have no right to mock any religion. Especially if you don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Honey let me tell u shes correct. I was in this religion for 40 yrs. U need read up. What your told is "anti" is real history. I use to defend mormonism just like u until I read the facts. Journal of discourses is a good starting point. And it's joseph and Brigham own writings.
Jullyn Pacioles so true, You are always welcome to come back Sister.
Alyssa Schollenberger you denied the HolyGhost.. I feel sorry.
Before around 1920 the book of mormon had maps inside of it, they figured out that the it litterally couldn't work with the distances shared and the places Joseph Smith identified as locations in the book. The reason why mormons don't focus on the cross, is because it was the item of Christs death. The idea being that you wouldn't like people to idolize the symble of your death. I personally don't think Christ minds.
I teach many LDS children and I really wish these parents would stop naming their boys Brigham. I wish they would change the name of BYU but I highly doubt that will happen.
Ok so what is the problem here?
Please this needs to be translated to other languages specially Spanish. I know many people in Peru who are deceived by this doctrine.
It will and there's lots of Christians and pious people in Peru who far out number them. Heck Catholics there can help. There's lots of catholic restorationists there in Peru too.
I was raised and baptized in the Mormon church, as I got older no one was ever able to answer the questions I had about the reason for the elaborate temples and why Joseph Smith had so many wives, just the utter closed minded way of thinking. I’m 49, never been married, never wanted any children, a lot of that has to do with what was expected of me and how I saw women being treated as a second class citizen. To this day I hate going into churches, it to me years to realize I could stop hating God, that he had no part in man made religion.
exmo lex has a very anti mormon channel. she too was raised very mormon and fell for it hook line and sinker.
then when she found out it was a great hoax and she had been lied to she went 100% against it. her channel is really very rabidly anti mormon.
i think it's wrong to let someone else control you're mind.
i mean i totally understand the great hatred that exmo lex developed. but she's the only one feeling what she feels.
i was the same way about a lot of things in my life. so i know what it is to lie in bed sending myself to sleep with hateful thoughts.
much better to find that understanding that allows you to enjoy the beauty each day brings. don't let someone else guide your thoughts.
like jesus said, "love your enemies". it's a very difficult thing, but in the end you're the only one that feels what you feel, and you're the only one the pays the penalty for bad thoughts.
it sounds like you've already realized the above, and i was just commenting to show that other people have had to work through things just like you did.
You must have really took offense to something someone said. Going out of your way to bash a religion. You have fulfilled prophecies in the scriptures, lol
Richard Billeter is she lying? Why are you offended?
Mary davison do you like lies ??☺️
I' m from Ukraine. I visited mormons because i study english with them, but i never believe and accept their religion. i always suspected that something wrong, because why they teach us english free
speak up and her closer to your mic!!!!!
They didn't have a temple to have temple garments till years after her dies. Do research
@@auraofdeath2140 There was no research done in this video except from a website that also gives no research. Laugh out loud
joe morris actually, Joseph Smith did own garments at the time of his death. The morning of his martyrdom, he received revelation that he shouldn’t put them on because he was going to die that day. In addition to a reminder of our promises to God, garments are a protection. Not against nonmembers, that’s silly. But I know someone who got into a car crash a few months back. Suffice it to say that he should have died. But he didn’t have a single scratch anywhere that his garments were covering. I’ve heard of so many miracles like that, that it’s hard to believe we’re just being fed lies by our leaders. I know that my church is the true church of God and nobody can take that away from me. I know this was a really long answer to a really simple misunderstanding but I want all the good-intentioned people that are trying to make me lose faith to know that their slander isn’t going to work on me.
Correction, they do believe in the Virgin Mary and the miraculous conception of Christ. They do not believe Jesus was a polygamist with children.
This was the reason why anyone found it hard to believe in Mormonism because they were trying to learn something they cannot understand unless they read first and pray about the Book of mormon if it is true. Sister, I encourage you to first read the Book of mormon and pray to God if it is true. This is the only way you can find and judge for yourself if it is true.
I encourage you to read your Bible.
Eternity is a long time to be wrong.
They don't tell you many things of their doctrine, but the most important thing is they do not tell you that their Jesus and God are not of the bible. They are exalted men gods, according to Mormonism. Also, Jesus is created which is false, Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold they said unto me: Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear.
2 And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center.
so you’re using the BOM... to insist it’s wrong?
@@irelyndhenry4300I wanted to share some for those who have not read it. pray and ask God if it is true.
@@1inthestove314 no I do believe the BOM to be the word of God, I’m more concerned that a) you’re trying to use it to negate its truthfulness, which is nonsensical, and b) that you’re definitely using it wrong because I know what those verses are in reference to and it’s not supposed to be used that way. I’m not worried that you’re actually able to disprove the scriptures by quoting them, I’m more worried that you think you can.
@@irelyndhenry4300 The way to know their truthfulness is by asking God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ if the Book of Mormon is true. Not by contending with the scriptures, and with that said I am glad you have a testimony of the fullness of the gospel.
@@1inthestove314 so you’re pro-LDS then. Ok, I didn’t know bc a lot of people try to use scriptures against us. You shoulda led with that, dude

Fascinating listening to Alanis, had no idea she had studied all this.... "I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is ripping up the Book of Mormon"
Also interesting is the stance the LDS Church took towards Hitler and Nazi, which is well documented in "The Nazi State And The New Religions: Five Case Studies In Non Conformity" by Christine Elizabeth King
Married a mormon woman in 1998. I know this religion as I took lessons early on which made me decide it was false. Just this week my family decided to leave the church and you helped me open the eyes of stout mormons. Thank you for your help.
Heavensgate leader should replace ol Nelson
When I used to live in California, I went to a ward where people were kind, sociable and friendly to me. But one day, when I was at a grocery store, I went to a check out line behind a lady who goes to the ward and is usually kind to me at church. I called out her name with a greeting, no reaction from her. I tapped her on the shoulders with a greeting along with her name, no reaction from her. Then when I saw her at church the following Sunday, she greeted me with a smile. I decided to look at her as if I didn't know her, and didn't react to her.
Weird. To be fair though, she could have been dealing with bipolar disorder or other mental disorder?
When i was in a dark place, 2 missionaries knocked on my door they were the sweetest girls from america, i met with them several times, they wanted me to be baptised!!! I started to read the book of mormon.. but had never read old or new testament. So i started to read them first.... at this time id only jus accepted that there was a god!!!!!!! Something about the book of mormon jus didnt feel right even then... so i googled and found out most this stuff that was in the video. Jesus is the way.. no sequels.
Forest for the trees.
@Taiwan92Abarth the Book of Mormon is the work of a charlatan.
@Taiwan92Abarth I'm a former Member, actually. If Moroni's challenge only has 1 answer and that answer is God is real and the church is true then that is an unfalsifiable claim. I received the opposite feeling about the BOM than yourself. Why is my experience less valid?
@Taiwan92Abarth you're in a cult
@Taiwan92Abarth And if I read the book, again, praying earnestly and still come up with it being false, would I be wrong then too?
"Many will come saying my name, but are false Prophets."
-Jesus Christ
@Taiwan92Abarth A cult has no excellent fruits just delusion.
@Taiwan92Abarth my profession involves deconstructing brainwashed cult members. LDS bears all the characteristics of a cult, it's very similar to Scientology in that it's polytheistic and members believe they can 'work' their way upwards and eventually become "Gods".
@Taiwan92Abarth Calling somebody ignorant is very childish. And second, you're in a cult! You're blind! Poor you! You are certainly brainwashed. Jesus is no brother of Satan. There is no polygamy in Heaven. Sex in Heaven??? NOT TRUE! Joseph Smith is a fraud! He took orders from Satan. Oh yeah! He had contact with the Devil. Mormons have been decieved, and are doomed for Hell. I'm glad I'm not a Mormon! I once attended a meeting. I'm never going back! The book of Mormon replaces the King James Bible. Any book that speaks other than the Bible, is Satan talk. You missed the point! I said I belong to no religion. I only believe in God, not man! What's also misleading is that Jesus came where the Aztecs were, and called it the New Jerusalem. No where does that say in the Bible! The New Jerusalem is yet to come. Not of this world!

From the frying pan into the fire. If you really have a personal relationship with Jesus, you don't need a middle man. You are trying, but you are not free to worship as you were intended to until you can do it one on one, without someone in between telling you how you should be doing it. You know in your heart how to do it without interference or instruction Feel God in your heart and welcome Him all on your own. That is a relationship.

Had Mormon girls come to my home and tried to convert me to Mormonism.Something felt off and I prayed to God for discernment and was led to your videos....
OMG!!! Same here same here!! The boys were so sweet and their talk was so smart that I felt we were the same category of christians but still something was off I felt like there were so much hidden things
People sadly get drawn in by the awesome fellowship that they experience and it is no wonder that “feelings” are so strong to join. But start asking the wrong questions and not accepting the bogus answers and see how long that fellowship lasts. Sinners don’t get to be accepted in the LDS church while Christians understand that church is specially for the sinners, all of us.
Not true. Everyone sins sometimes, however small. That is only true if they commit something horrible like rape, and don't every say sorry and repent for it.
What a silly comment.
Bro I was literally taught about Polgamy when I was 14-15 in Institute and was curious to know more and context and ask and was given source material from religious teachers, and became informed about anything I wanted to learn and was given historical references and learned alot and prayed about it and understood some
of the possible purposes. But I was never denied answers rather given references and encouraged to pray and study.
😊
am a recent convert...and within 4 months in already a 'jacked' Mormon. Why? They're as bad as the catholic church when it comes to hiding child predators. One ex-bishop has a pizza place, ONLY hires young teenage girls. His wife hired me. He was angry. I SAW him being inappropriate with teen girls. I went to the bishop and was immediately gas-lit. Likes it NOT effing 2023. Then i was fired. These schmucks are PATHETIC!
People rarely hear that M-O-R-M-O-N is one letter from M-O-R-O-N. It is believed that Joseph Smith had a hatred of religion and was a con man, so he chose to add the second M. Mormons claim that they believe the Holy Bible, but the Book of Mormon and their other books contradict the Holy Bible many times. When people are talked to about becoming Mormon, many of them ask questions that the young people don't know the answers to, so they research to answer and then find out many wrongs in their religion, then some quit.
Give me an example of where the Book of Mormon contradicts the bible doctrinally please. Thanks
Mormon was actually just a rude nickname people gave us a while back because they thought we worshipped Mormon, so what you are saying is false.
Did you know shirt is one letter away from shit? I'm so glad I don't wear shirts anymore, don't want to be known as a shit wearer.
@chrisspiller4443 the fact that Evangelicals give a pass at nonsense like calling us Morons just shows the truth behind the so-called Christianity of protestant Evangelicals
Of course they won't tell someone all these things on an initial visit. They usually have about 10 minutes to introduce themselves. I can't imagine a salesman knocking on my door and saying, "Hi, I'm Dave. I wear secret underwear. Would you like to hear what I have to sell you?"
This is the same reason we don't teach about mortgages or sex in kindergarten. Or why a university professor teachers things in a certain order. You start with the basics and add to it as the deeper information will be understood.
Of course those blasted Mormons won't tell you any of this when they first knock on your door.
they aren't blasted, just highly indoctrinated kids, that if they don't fulfill their mission their WHOLE family doesn't get blessed. It is really a sucky thing but that is what they do. These SHELTERED kids are turned out into a very scary world and told they MUST convert people or their family's STANDING in the celestial kingdom suffers. They get guilted into ALL they do, and it is such a tragedy. The pressure on these KIDS is so enormous. If they bomb or don't complete their mission most of the eligible girls SHUN them as a bad candidate for marriage. They MUST marry, and reproduce to be a TBM, and in good standing with their ward.
REALLY????
This is such a lot of lies!

Hello sister, Good Job on this video. My name is Joseph.
This was disturbingly incorrect. Most points were flat out false and others were totally out of context. I would pray that everyone be truth seekers and not take these claims to be truth. Feel free to reach out to me for any fact checking or clarification. I will actually provide sources and context. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and offers so much light and truth.
Can you please point out specifically what parts were false and out of context? I'm curious to know which part was not true. I have a general understanding and this video filled in most of the blanks. Can you point out which part specifically was not true so I can learn about it correctly? Thanks!
@@georgebauerschmidt5289 I don't think my comment is working because of the length. I might have to connect with you via email.
Hi George, I don’t have much time to do a full rebuttal of all of the claims here, but I’m happy to try to shed some light. Do you mind if I connect with you via email?
The overarching claim of this video is that the missionaries of the church will lie or omit parts of the gospel, in essence tricking people into joining the church. Its just not true. I was a missionary for two years and serve now as a ward missionary in my community. I’m well versed in the doctrine of the church, as well as the church history. The church is very transparent about its doctrine and its history. See the Joseph Smith Papers project josephsmithpapers.org, Saints history.lds.org/saints?lang=eng&cid=rdb_v_saints_eng, church history topics history.lds.org/, gospel topic essays www.lds.org/topics/essays?lang=eng, and churchofjesuschrist.org which houses all teachings from the church. The church and its members are good, honest people and I would never omit or lie to prospective members. The way she paints the church and its members is totally out of character.
“Your church is wrong. Your beliefs are an abomination to God. Your pastor is a hireling of Satan. Salvation is found only in our church. There is no way to achieve any form of salvation outside of the church.” This is not true. Especially the part about the pastor. Just not true. The church believes in an apostasy and restoration. www.lds.org/topics/apostasy?lang=eng#_
www.mormon.org/site/jesus-christs-church/jesus-church-restored
“They will not tell you that they are wearing temple garments”.
Not true: www.lds.org/media-library/video/2014-01-1460-sacred-temple-clothing?lang=eng
ua-cam.com/video/5vvN4qJRBM0/v-deo.html
Although this is a sacred and personal practice, so it usually isn’t spoken of lightly and frequently.
“Temple garments are meant to protect against evil…YOU”. Nope, not you. Nothing like that is remotely taught. As you will see in the videos above, garments are an outward reflection of an inward commitment to God.
“They will not tell you about their temple rites at all.” Not true. See videos for example: ua-cam.com/video/Fd8tVXN9y6Q/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/gA6aTiMDYho/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/v-deo.html

“Temple worship is taken from Freemasonry and Satanism cults.” Freemasonry was influential in the temple endowment. Satanism cults is completely false. Here is a great reference. www.lds.org/study/history/topics/masonry?lang=eng
“Familiar spirits are good and Book of Mormon has a familiar spirit.” I’m not even sure where this comes from. Members of the church believe in the Holy Ghost. www.lds.org/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng
“Mormon women find salvation only through their husbands.” This is just not true. www.lds.org/topics/women-in-the-church?lang=eng
“Mormon women will be pregnant through all of eternity so they can populate planets.” Not true and not based in much of anything. This is designed by critics based on the idea that God intends for us to become like him. Creating and populating planets is as good as a description of heaven for members of the church as sitting on a cloud playing a harp is for other Christians. Its just not true.
“They intend to become Gods themselves one day.” “Heavenly Father over their own planet”. Heavenly Father over their own planet is not true. Intend to become Gods one day is spun in a half truth way. We believe that we are heirs to God, joint heirs with Christ as the Bible teaches. Here is a great article that would certainly help: www.lds.org/topics/becoming-like-god?lang=eng
“Exaltation is done through works and obeying the church.” Not true. We obey Christ’s commandments because of our love for him. By believing in Jesus and repenting of sins, we are saved by grace. All are saved by Christ in that every person will be resurrected and all are saved from Adam’s transgression. From the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 10:24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
“They intend to have many wives in heaven, not just one.” No, I intend to have one. This claim comes from the polygamy practiced in the early church. You can read about that here: www.lds.org/topics/plural-marriage-in-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng
“God is one of infinite Gods out there.” Paul said this in the New Testament, but also said “but for us there is one God.”
That is our belief on this. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God.
“They are polytheists” Not the case. I highly recommend listening to this talk to get a better understanding. www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/the-only-true-god-and-jesus-christ-whom-he-hath-sent?lang=eng
“They believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three completely different Gods” Half truth. The scriptures teach that they are one God, but separate beings. This should be logical to anyone who has read the Bible. See the talk above for this as well.
“They will not tell you that you were once a spirit child of the pre-existence.” Of course we will! There is even a cool scroll graphic here: www.mormon.org/resources/plan-of-salvation
“Heavenly Father and his multiple wives populated the spirit world.” This is again a half truth. We don’t believe God has multiple wives. We do believe that we are children of God as taught by Jesus and the prophets.
“Baptism for the dead.” “Three levels of heaven”. These are true. Here are some resources: Baptisms for the dead ua-cam.com/video/RzCSrMJhWeQ/v-deo.html What happens after we die?
ua-cam.com/video/5-futI4wQ_s/v-deo.html
“Virgin Mary was not a virgin at all. God came down and had sexual relations with her.” Not true. We believe as the scriptures say that she was a virgin.
“They have taught that Jesus had three wives and children of his own. Jesus was a polygomist according to Mormons.” Not true. All we know of Jesus’ life on earth is recorded in the New Testament.
“God is an exalted man and lives on a planet near the star Kolob”. Half truth. Joseph Smith believed God was an exalted man. Kolob is a metaphor in the scriptures for Christ. Kolob is described as the star being nearest to God and provides light to all of his creations. People spin it to sound weird and scare people away.
“Jesus was Lucifer’s brother.” True. All spirits were children of God.
“Heavenly council vote to determine Jesus or Lucifer as savior.” Not true. God presented his plan of salvation for his children. Lucifer and others rebelled against that plan and were cast out of heaven.
“There are over 100 divisions within mormonism.” I don’t know about this. There are different break off groups, but there is only one Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those groups are not affiliated.
“They will not tell you that their scriptures contradict.” “Mormons will side with restoration scriptures over the Bible.” I don’t believe that the scriptures contradict, at least not in any significant way. The bible contradicts itself sometimes, but that is easily understood as it was written by different authors.
It might be fair to say members of the church will side with the Book of Mormon over the Bible, but I think more accurately is that they will side with their interpretation of the Bible over someone else’s interpretation of the Bible. All Christians do this.
“Not one scrap of archeological evidence for Book of Mormon.” Sort of. But what evidence would you expect? www.fairmormon.org/archive/publications/archaeological-evidence-and-the-book-of-mormon
“State of Utah has higher than national average abuse, suicide, etc.” This appeals to emotion. Many scientific studies have concluded that this has nothing to do with the church, and actually church attendance significantly decreases all of these categories.
“Joseph Smith was in the occult.” Just not true.
“Joseph Smith money digging” True, but out of context.
“Joseph Smith freemasonry” True, but out of context.
I really enjoyed this book as a biography of Joseph Smith: www.amazon.com/dp/B000XUBEZM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
“First vision accounts.” True. But these aren’t any more contradicting than the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are contradicting. Different emphasis and details in each telling. www.lds.org/topics/first-vision-accounts?lang=eng
My favorite LDS catch phrases:
'It's not secret, it's sacred'
'Put your questions on the shelf'
'Swearing is like a cockroach in the sundae'
'Keep sweet and pray'
@Vincent Regimbal There is a difference between secret and sacred. Because we don't talk about sacred things, people like to exaggerate and say that it is secret. Do you have any idea what what Jesus said about things that are sacred? Any idea at all?

I take it you don't understand about divorces.

Infinite pregnancies...That's a kind of hell I would not wish on my worst enemy...The magic undergarments part had me in stitches, that's some grade a Scientology bull level.
Actually it's a personal choice left to the couple. Some people just "leave it to God" and have no qualms about not using protection. It's in handbooks that a couple should only have the kids they can afford and care for
@@ah5721 the fact that it is even in a handbook is just ridiculous. Why does a church need to comment on the size of your family?
@@justamom863 because people asked so they put it in there so personal bias doesn't affect people's council to others.
@@ah5721 if the "let the children come" slogan would never have come from an LDS prophet then it would not be in the handbook to begin with. Surely you remember the "let the children come" speech?
"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" is the one command from God that mankind has had no problem obeying. At almost 8 billion, I think the mission is pretty well accomplished. Catholics don't see this, however. And of course it's different with Mormons because they believe you have to populate a whole new earth with your progeny in the next life.
Geez..it sounds like whoever came up with LDS was on LSD??????

Jess, great video. Can you give me a call? I've got a couple of questions I want to run by you. It's about the fact that the upper echelons of the church (the "70" and above) MUST know the truth about Joseph Smith and therefore must be rationalizing, or flatly lying, about this whole religion. And I have a couple of more questions. I'm in San Diego, so if you could call me between 12 noon and 5p PST, that would be best. The call won't be long but I want to get your thoughts on some things. Oh, by the way, YOU are an absolute delight. Tim
Any who add works to grace have missed the mark. EPH 2:8-9, JESUS 100% not 99.99999.
Linda Dustin James 2:17 (I think) “Faith without works is dead.” Can it get any more simple than that?
I think you are both missing the point here. Grace and faith are two different things.
Grace is decided by Jesus and faith is decided by us and both are required to achieve the maximum outcome in an afterlife...
So we come across an argument that I see so many times, but actually both sides of the argument miss the context of the point...
Our faith cannot save us nor can our works if Jesus decides not to apply his grace... Grace is a decision based on how Jesus considers our situation..
Now to go with the Mormon point of view, Jesus grew in favour of God as he practiced doing his will, which means that as Jesus said as a warning "by there works you shall know them".
If you believe his words you will follow the two parables as Jesus taught.. 1. Not to hide your light
2. To be a good Samaritan.
Jesus also talks of what keeps you out of heaven, and it's not
Based on false beliefs, false prophets etc, which were rife during Christ time. Rather than do what this post tries to do,bwhich destroys good faith in what are called "true believer Mormons", but is more on the fact in how well you live your life....
Can a Hindu be saved? Or a Muslim be saved? Even if they have no passing mention of Jesus between their ears?
Grace applies here as Jesus will say, these lived their lives as good people etc, it won't matter of the false doctrine they were taught.
If a Mormon keeps their values as the ancient Essenes did and serve man and woman in their best capacity according to their beliefs, god's grace is more lightly apply to these than professors of faith who like the Pharisees taught good things but their hearts were far away...
I think both sides of the argument miss the point and neither understand grace or works...
Calibration Technique you have a very good point, which in retrospect is almost exactly what I believe but couldn’t articulate nearly as well as you, nor did I really try as I should have. Thank you for your perspective!
low-key sad cos my surname is Mormont
I'm not a Mormon or anything but still my surname is pretty close to that corrupt religion's name T-T =(
Um...I wouldn't worry about it. If you watch game of thrones you know that house mormont is awesome.
That leaves me out at 55...and I would not submit to slavery by pregnancy . Also it's by faith we are saved not by works we are saved. However, faith without works is dead.
@Rhonda You are saved by Having Faith in Christ, You will receive Grace. It is a gift of God.once you have Grace. God will guide you to do his Works, not Man's works
James 2:26, it's in the context of James talking to the twelve Jewish tribes about their materialism in their ideas about works getting you into heaven. I love James, my favorite book that I've studied
Just check out Romans 3:20 and Ephesians 2:8-9
you guys are silly. no one makes you have any kids .....just like outside of the church. you and your spouse determine how many kids you have. No one else even has a say. Just more lies being spread about Christ's church. Its' OK it was happening 2000 yrs ago and still goes on today.....i guess we are used to it :)
Salvation only occurs after death, and only for those who lived righteously after accepting Christ - it is impossible to be “saved” while still in this life, which is a false doctrine
Christ directly states that you must endure to the end before salvation can be applied to your life - Matthew 24:13
We are saved by Christ's grace, but only after being judged by our works - Titus 3:5, Titus 1:16, Rev. 22:12-14
Perform the Lord’s statutes even until the end - Psalms 119:112
Worldly people despise Christ's true plan of salvation and dangerously invent their own - 1 Cor. 1:19-29
We save ourselves by pondering the doctrine and doing it - 1 Timothy 4:16
even though I don’t want to be a member of the church anymore, and I am finding my way, a lot of the things you claim in the video aren’t true/way over exaggerated and misunderstood. There are definitely things about the church that have caused me to leave, but some of this is just not true.

Hi Jessie, you are very informative. I grew up in a Reorgaized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints family home. ( Not Mormon but shared some main beliefs. ) I Believed our church was the only way to salvation and that every one else is going to hell and that the Catholic church was the church of the devil. I was a non active member for years because I kept silent.
To make a long story short, at the age of 40 I came out of my bubble when I started asking questions and was not happy with the answers I received. I explored other Faiths. It says in the Bible that God wants us to question everything because in doing so we will find the truth. Wow has my journey of faith changed since coming out of the bubble.
I have so many stories of how God has blessed me and those I love.
All I need is my Bible.
God's salivation is for everyone, not just a chosen few. There is good and bad in all religion........but I also believe more than anything what my Grandfather told me. He said salvation is not how many times you go to church......or what church you go to......it's how you live your life, how you treat your next door neighbor, our actions and the kind of person you are in your heart.
God loves everyone. There is good and bad in everyone.
I would also like to point out that in the Bible it says why satan was kicked out of heaven and who he is/was.
The Bible are the only words I need. I pray you will be blessed in your search for the truth. You are definitely on the right track.
Thanks for listening or reading my post. Peace Out.
My answer should not sound harsh to you as it is difficult to show how I really mean it by writing. I mean it with love. Sorry you´re wrong! You think your way is the same as for example the Christian way.
But the way with Jesus Christ is unique. He is the way, the truth, the life and no one cometh to the father but through him. It´s about our sin before God. That made the gap between God and men. (the spiritual and also bodily dead).True repentence is what God wants and always wanted from us. He loves us but will judge correctly. As everybody is somehow guilty he would have to judge all of us. The wages of sin is death. This is also what you might have heared about heaven and hell. I know that in some famos east religions they talk rather of reincarnation and drop hell. But hell is real. So God in his love for us send his only begotten son that he would pay our wages. He suffered and died instead of us.
When you truly repend and accept Jesus Christ as your savior and give your live to him in a serious prayer, you will be free of sin (wages of..) immediately and will receive his holy spirit which also means that you will be bornagain.
A bornagain Christian. You would notice the difference. Please then (go on ) praying to Got in Jesus Name or to Jesus Christ and read the bible. It´s not about being rich and always of promised good health. It´s not about energies. It´s not about wishes to be fulfilled. Its not about meditating and hearing inner voices (I had my experiences... with "Angels", "Jesus" and others) Find out. It´s really serious. Please find out. There are also many false preachers.
It´s not about (trying) to be good. It´s about accepting his salvation. But , as I am not native english speaking I don´t know many, but you may listen to Paul Washer, John Lennox, ...and of course going on reading the bible.
Please excuse me if I misunderstood something.
May God bless you.
When i was younger and going through trauma i got baptised into a mormon church, however i dont remember being baptised but i went away for a while, like 15 years and learned about freemasons etc, i bumped into the elders again a few months ago and ive told a few of them about a few things you mention in this videobut its the arrogance of them and no chance of changing their minds, as they have pre programmed responses to everything and i didnt even get a chance to explain my case, cause you know they're right haha, ive just told them im not getting involved with them now
Scary cult
You really think you are so all that. Is this all you know how to do? Why do you spend so much time tearing down other faiths instead spreading the message of Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross so we could enter into his presence?
"It's not secret, its sacred". "The church is perfect, its members are not". "We are a peculiar people". "Doubt your doubts". "Its a higher law, we cannot understand as mortals"....blah, blah, blah. The Mormons have a lot of canned answers at the ready when you bring up questionable stuff. Anytime you challenge someone, expect the canned answers to come out.
It's true!
Um it's not actually and your right no one is perfect you can't deny that.
It's Me Jessie
Oh and when I said whom the Lord call He qualifies, I meant those who are call by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. If you are not called to preach by that Priesthood authority you should not speak at all.
@@matthewhessler3257 wow.... Listen to yourself... If that doesn't sound like a controlling, narrow minded cult, I don't know what does.
Burke Shields
No, Our Heavenly Father is a God of order, he has one faith, one , baptism, and one church. He call women and men but that priesthood to preach and teach the Gospel. No man and that includes women take to this honor unto himself but he that was ordained as was Aaron. And how was Aaron ordained? By the laying on of hands by those who are in authority to administer the ordinances of the Gospel.
Mormons seem nice on the surface. Most of them are not, especially if you challenge them at all.
I rented a basement from a Mormon lady for a while. I went to the ward or stake or something a couple of times. A couple of missionaries came out and talked to me and you are right. it seems like we hit it off so well. They wanted to baptize me right away. Oh my goodness.
But I got busy and started researching everything on the Internet. When I came across the part where they think that God the father is a human being, that was it for me. I went to her and said”You believe that God is a man? So who created God?”
She said to God was created by another God who was in turn created by another God before him, etc., ad infinitum. I told her, “when you find the first God who was not created by any other god, That’s the God I’ll be worshiping!”
I mean I guess I’m supposed to be merciful and compassionate, but really what I want to say is “how dumb can you be?”
You should, and let God Do the rest....Its the True Church"
@@kennyhunter3323 Ok
Ah, we nearly got thrown out of Temple Square for saying something like that!
You don't know even the first things of "The Word of God", but yet you DEMAND to know who the FIRST being was? That's like not even knowing how to count from 1 to 10, but yet you REFUSE to believe in numbers until you are told "who invented the first number"?- And you ask "How dumb can you be?"
Exactly my experience less the renting from a Mormon.
My husband was born in the Mormon church. He became a Christian about 15 years ago. His mom, who is a very nice lady, but under the Mormon spell, kept sending missionaries to our home. I was the one usually home & would nicely say “ We are happy in our church, he is not home” They started trying to go behind my back to get ahold of him. Thankfully we moved last year & are in a gated community.

My friend Christopher. It does matter because
A) the Book of Mormon contradicts God’s revelation.
B) we care for you guys and believe that you deserve better than living a life in a false teaching and doctrine.
If you choose to remain Mormon then God will still be the judge. The difference is, if you join orthodox (correct teaching) Christianity then you will discover a relationship with God that you never experienced before.

I left the Mormon church almost two years ago and am now attending a non-denominational Christian church. Having said that, I think it's important to remember that just because a Mormon said something at some point, does not mean that it is what all Mormons believe today. Many of the things that were shared in this video are simply not at all what I was taught in my 42 years of weekly attendance at the Mormon church. I realize there are probably references for all of the "facts" that were shared here, but that does not mean this is what all Mormons believe today. Mormons throughout its young history have said all kinds of things that are not considered to be the doctrine of the church today. I also know many Mormons who hold personal beliefs that do not necessarily reflect what is always said at the pulpit. This makes the whole conversation endlessly complicated. It is my hope that we can all offer one another the same grace that we EACH so desperately need in this life.
I understand fully what you're saying. Yes, I can back up every claim made in the video and I do admit that yes, some of the things are not taught today (but were at some point by a "prophet!") so I can't just dismiss the past stuff and pretend it wasn't taught. Most things stated are current beliefs, though, and are not disclosed unless you search it out and learn it for yourself. So many secrets. So much kept hidden. Even people who join the church usually have NO IDEA what is done in the temples or that the goal is to become a god one day. Most people are unfamiliar with Joseph and Brigham and other's polygamy and contradicting teachings about who God is.... etc!! And this info needs to be made known.
I also hear you when you say to extend grace to one another but I simply cannot extend grace to people who are living in ignorance (many willingly) while they are serving an absolutely false god/gods. I need to proclaim the truth! As a Bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus and wants the world to come to know Him as their personal Savior, I have to expose false beliefs and proclaim the truth of the Word of God and I want to share the one and only true God and make Him known.
To be honest, I wasn't looking for a video such as this but the title caught my attention. Reading a lot of these comments, I have to say I agree with you. I had been a Mormon for over 30 yrs & I wasn't taught a lot of the things in this video & I have never heard of families not being able to be with their family members if they were excommunicated from the church. But hey, it seems a lot of church leaders in a lot of different denominations have never even read the Bible. So, the way I look at it is, if you want to be close to God, read the Bible, gain a close relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus and don't sweat the small stuff. We can cant self righteousness till the cows come home and point the finger at any Church and go on a fault finding campaign but that will not make us better people. Just saying... probably good to ask questions and choose your lifestyle with care and thoughtfulness.
i don't want to detract from jessie's comment, but i do have a question for any mormon. how do you know what the true teachings of present day mormonism is? if you can't get it from reading the standard works, or elders quorum lesson manual, or sunday school manual, or the official online mormon website? how do you know for yourself what the true mormon doctrine is, and h ow do you know that jessie is not repeating official modern mormon doctrine? if there is no written documentation for what you believe, aren't you then in danger of leading yourself and others astray with false teachings?
@@longnamenocansayy My take is, if you can't find the info by reading the official works, manuals & etc. then you have to consider the frame of reference. Then too, look at all the changes in the Catholic church. People don't question the changes so it shouldn't be surprising that the Mormon church makes changes. I believe there is such a thing as spiritual growth so maybe... It's why we need to keep studying the Bible. God opens our eyes when we're ready and able to understand.
Julia Dawn Olson Just to throw my two cents in; I come from a very heavily influenced Mormon home and my mother believes every single point made in this video. The bottomline here, in my opinion, is not whether all Mormons believe the LDS church doctrine or have even heard of most of these things. It’s that this church was not founded on biblical principals and biblical account of Christ Jesus. Which makes it a false Christ (Matthew 24:24) and because they think works and baptism and repentance saves they will be cast out (Matthew 7:21-23) Ignorance is not the same as innocence and we should be mindful of what people who speak “Christianese” say. That’s my take
I need help with prayer my wife won't leave the mormon church shes been there 7 years and I recently left few months ago I was there for 5 years but I never believed in there gospel or there book. I was going to be with her and my son but I dicided to leave because the holy spirit helped me to break out of there. I still have problems with my wife every day and she don't believe in the holybible or any Christian church she gets mad when I go to my church on Sunday and all week I try and read the bible daily. I'm sad because she wants to lead my kids to her false religion and don't want to listen to me. So please brothers and sister can you pray for my wife norma lindan. Thank you God bless you all.

A cross without Christ is too much to bear
Then you know nothing of the doctrine of the restored Gospel of Christ. The "cross" is everywhere in LDS theology, but Latter-day Saints understand it correctly whereas you do not.
We celebrate his resurrection, not his death. That’s why you won’t see a cross in an LDS Church.
@@rodinutah Then please explain to us how it is that a woman who does not have the opportunity to marry will not be able to enter the celestial kingdom. If the husband is an adulterer- what them becomes of the children that were sealed to their parents in the temple? Are they now no longer going to the celestial kingdom since their dad fell from grace and now they are no longer sealed to him? It seems like a family's salvation/making it to the celestial realm is dependent on a faulty man. If I am wrong here- please feel free to explain in a way we can all understand. Thanks in advance.
Well, my only answer to you is that Heavenly Father is a loving father. He will not deny any blessings to those who are worthy of them. A woman who has not had a chance to marry in this lifetime will be given that chance in the eternities. Children are innocent and will be also be blessed with those blessings they deserve. It will all be worked out in the end.

@@richardstorm4603 Well, what I plan to do is wait until I am resurrected and let Jesus Christ decide what I am going to do. You concerned Christians all think you are sent here to be judges of mankind. That comes from praying to a god without body, parts or passions. Satan does not have a body or parts. He does have a passion, which is hatred for the people who pray to him.
I spent most of my life in the church. Off and on again. Was not really active until later in my life. I took out my endowments at the age of 40 . I left at age 55 now 60. My family was always active in the church and they turned their backs on me as well as my wife and a couple of my children. I'm still married but not much longer. We agreed to just not talk about religion. But my wife has never passed up the chance to remind me of the huge mistake. And I just can't go on that way. Our marriage isn't a marriage anymore. Not even friendship remains at this point. Pretty miserable living with someone who you no longer have anything in common with. I'm pretty lonely aside from my relationship with my savior. I need a woman in my life. And because of my age and the fact I haven't dated in over 40 years. Just don't know where to start. Pray for me.
Sir, you need Jesus. Jesus said, "Follow Me." Jesus is the good Shepherd. Jesus will never let you down.
John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
Jesus is my substitute (i.e. Isaiah 53:4-6). He is way more than my example. A substitute does it for us. An example shows us how but we must still do it. He personally paid the penalty for all my sin. As a result, of His mercy I want to obey His commandments.
Jesus as my righteousness, as our law-keeper (i.e. Romans 5:19, 1 Corinthians 1:3; Isaiah 61:10) The biblical truth is that Jesus kept the law for us
I know for sure that I have been completely forgiven (i.e. Hebrews 10:14-17) and am accepted by God (i.e. 1 Peter 2:9).
I know God is with me, providing and protecting me (i.e. Romans 8:31-39, Psalm 23).
I know for sure that when I die I will live eternally with Heavenly Father (i.e. Philippians 1:23).
I have no doubts because my acceptance by God depends entirely on Jesus’ work for me and he has already accomplished it (John 19:30).

Sir, please dont give up. You did the right thing. I will pray for you okay. I just turned 60 this month. I am alone also, aside from having the Dear Lord in my life. Hang in there, my Friend.
That's what I used to think. I've never been happier since I've decided a woman isn't what I need.
What I needed was to be ok with being alone. It's not only liberating, but I don't worry about trying to make someone else happy.
Remember, you at one time thought your current wife was what you needed, how did that work out?

They Also Portray Jesus & The Rest Of The Jews As White Europeans When Jeremiah 14:2, Daniel 7:9/10:5-7, & Revelation 1:14-16 Condemn Their Claims
I have enjoyed your videos. However, the volume is too soft and low, that people that are hard of hearing, can't hear them well.
Lying for the lord... I was very disappointed in my Mormon friend, when we were discussing the Bible versus Book of Mormon. I told her Mormons think they become gods when they die which is extremely blasphemous according to the Bible. She proceeded to tell me that she read that we call become gods from the Bible itself, and she said it in such a firm way that we both knew she was lying through her teeth but she didn’t respect me enough to admit the truth. I’m not particularly religious but it disgusted me
The Mormon Bible is not the same as a Christian Bible, Joseph Smith wrote it to suit his needs.
Just to help you understand. They are groomed to be missionaries to their friends and neighbors..generally speaking, you get so wrapped up in the grooming, you overlook things..not good, but the mind f@ck is deep! And you dont know what you're doing.
Here is a tip for anyone taking "Lessons" form a couple Mormons , hand them back the "Book Of Mormon" and ask them for a copy of Doctrine and Covenants by Joseph Smith. If you read that more then likely you will be able to send them on their way....I was given a copy of this while taking the Mormon lessons years ago by my girl friend....at the third lesson I had so many questions for the boys their heads were spinning....by girl friends father sitting in on the lessons was so mad it was the last time I could see his daughter....I was not suppose to know about this book until I joined up with the Mormon CULT.
That’s the first thing they give you XDDD
@Gorden Scottfan - Why were they upset? What kind if questions did you have?
lol most of the time the D&C are in the same book as the BOM; idk what you’re talking about. Also, I really would like to be nice about this but shame on you for doing that to the missionaries. They are TEENAGE BOYS. If you wanted a serious discussion about perceived inconsistencies you should have sought out a scholar of the BOM, not two kids who had most likely gone through what is essentially a doctrinal crash course before being sent out halfway across the world.
@@irelyndhenry4300 so they can preach, but no one else is allowed to preach back? They came knocking on my door and disturbing my peace with their lies. for money.
Yes, the Doctrine and Covenants is really interesting. And usually the potential convert doesn't know about it. It does come as a separate book, but the entrenched Mormons usually only have it as a "Combination book" where the Church publishes it as a Trilogy all-in-one book together with The Pearl of Great Price and the Book of Mormon. It's easier to convert people if they have only read the Book of Mormon, since the Doctrine and Covenants has "The Lord" saying some very unbecoming things, such as Setting the Stock Price for shares in Nauvoo House at LITERALLY $50 each, and numerous other ridiculous things. Most of the Doctrine and Covenants is the Lord HIMSELF speaking (supposedly). It's rather bad. It also has God speaking of women as objects.
They also teach that the Book of Mormon is a second testimony or witness of Jesus Christ and that he visited his other sheep here in the Americas. In Moroni 10:3-5 in the last chapter of the Book of Mormon, you are given a wonderful promise that you can know for yourself by the power of the Holy Ghost that the book is true. That witness of the Holy Ghost is how I gained and continue to know it's true. I also applaud Christian's of any faith who follow the Saviors teachings. Anyone can tear down the leaders, teachings, and history of any Christian faith and show some ugly things...proves what? Christ is our Saviour and redeemer. Let his words and his spirit guide you, not someone who only looks to criticize others. The Book of Mormon is true or fake. Make the effort to read it yourself and ask God if it's true...only He can let you know in a way you will know for yourself it's true. You can't prove God is true on paper. It requires faith and effort, then you can receive a witness for yoursef.
@tapir rider 1:26 - The undergarment thing = WITHCRAFT Mormons practice witchcraft. Like all witches do, Mormons stalk, blacklist, harass with passive aggressive harassments and do everything they can to use white collar methods to destroy your life. Mormons also have a relationship with the local witches covens.
They contract much of their dirty work out to the street witches so that their hands remain clean.
@tapir rider Nope, the Mormons keep kicking me out of apartments in Arizona. I have watched them and seen them with my own eyes stalking people together. You have no idea how deep the wickedness of the Mormons. Joseph Smith was a witch. Mormons aren't the only so called "christians" practicing witchcraft. Many Catholics in south american countries and the Caribbean practice Santeria.
Santeria is a form of witchcraft and voodoo that involves human sacrifice and cannibalism.
Protestants practice new age spiritism.
No my friend, you may know some f-ed up sh--t about the Moronians ...but you don't know the whole story.
Do a search on "Hidden Video Camera Mormon Rituals".
You will see it with your own eyes. LOL
@@D.c.0 Hey, thank you so much for your testimony. What you said about Mormons not even acknowledging that hexing people with their secret language is witchcraft. Even Witches refuse to accept that what they're doing is exactly what the Bible says their doing, summoning up demons and unclean spirits to perform blessings , cursings, tasks and revealing hidden information for them.
The self professing witch will tell you that they know their power comes from spirits in the spirit world and that they have absolutely no idea who are the spirits, but will adamantly deny that they're the devils, demons, unclean spirits and Satan's powers and principalities.
In Acts 16, Paul cast an unclean spirit out of a fortune teller who was passive aggressively harassing Paul. That very hour the unclean spirit left her, she lost all her powers of divination and fortune telling.
Even Christians deny this. Christians think witchcraft is not real and that witches are imagining things to their own detriment. They're denying Jesus Christ the Messiah when they do so.
I used to be guilty of that line of thinking too. Until (1) I saw the powers of witchcraft work and (2) I started studying the Bible about the mark of beast, demon possession and all those topics over 95% of all so called christian pastors and catholic priests refuse to teach.
I saw both of your comments. Thank you for your post and may the great God of Adam, Noah, Moses, the 12 Apostles bless you and all those you love and cherish the most.
On point, accurate points good job!
It's really not very accurate... I'm a critic of Mormonism, but this presentation is all over the place
Their not accurate you shouldn't believe everything in the internet tbh
@@NarutoUzumaki-yl1vc - yes. They are accurate.

Mormons don’t tell you the ducks at the pond are free! I own 30 ducks now you can just take them!
...what?
I did all that Mormon stuff including going on a mission… the day I walked off the plane from a mission…got a honorable release and never went back to church…The interesting thing… no one ever called… not even the bishop that just released me. I found out the most important thing, the truth…I was extremely expendable. Bottom line… LDS church is a business. I was played a fool and now I have found true spirituality.
@ Joe Cox. Oh come on Joe. There is much more to the story that what you are telling. I wonder why no one called? Not one person? No one! Wow Joe... this smells awful fishy to me. Honorable release and never went back to church. LOL Something stinks to high heaven.
