    I really think my childhood would have been way less toxic and painful if my parents had simply joined some more mainstream Protestant church. The racist doctrine issues were a huge source of contention and confusion in my house, as well as the obsessive perfectionism. Some of the dynamics would likely have been unhealthy in any case, but I really believe Mormonism magnified a lot of them. The sexism, the racism, the favoritism of my brother that led to him developing a personality disorder, the sickening obsession with sexuality and very young girls confessing to men - all because we had to be Mormons instead of Methodists or Presbyterians. My parents could never have parented or probably even survived without some kind of religion. I guess I should be thankful the JWs didn’t get us first.

    3:48 Too bad. She missed the main point here. The point is that you can't tell the difference. And if you can't tell the difference, you don't have knowledge. And knowledge is the foundational pillar that a Mormon testimony is built on. Because if god can't give you knowledge of which church is true, then how could you know? You would be no better off than everyone else in past centuries trying to figure out what's true. Mormons will contrast the founding of their church, a "restoration" (actual visitation from god to Joseph Smith and subsequent revelation to him about how to run the church) with the reformation, which was man's intellect trying to interpret scripture and figuring out what they think god is saying in the bible. So if a Mormon testimony doesn't bring you actual knowledge of Mormon-specific truth claims, then the entire epistemological house of cards falls down, and you realize the whole knowledge-gaining process in the church is just a process to make believers out of people.

      What happens is that the religious critical thinking follows into the Christianity... just try watching Rabbi Tovia Singer talk about Isaiah 7. Joseph Smith Jr didn't do anything that the writers of the Biblical scrolls didn't do with the original Jewish material. Then you follow that through Dr Joshua Bowen and the epic of Gilgamesh to realize Judaism just ripped Gilgamesh to write about Noah. That desire to really know and not be dupped again is a big reason Mormons turn to the Bible with scripulosity and come to really appreciate Dr Bart Erhman's work.

      Have you read the books by the people who have left Buddhism? Be an informed consumer and Do your Due Diligence and read the books by those who've left, before you promote a religion. And Tibetan Buddhism is probably the worst form of Buddhism. It is, in reality, Lamaism. It's a religion with prophets, seers and revelators who are ALL MALE and who lie and deceive and abuse children in the monasteries, and abuse women everywhere.
      Remember when the Dalai Lama asked the little boy to suck his tongue? Such abuse is rampant in the monasteries. And it goes much further than just tongue sucking. Please read "Enthralled: The Guru Cult of Tibetan Buddhism" by Christine Chandler. She left Buddhism after 30 years being very close to the Dalai Lama.
      Buddhism is marketed in the west as a peaceful religion. It's not. And it is NOT benevolent, as most westerners wish to believe.
      Tibet practiced the worst form of slavery that ever existed, and this slavery was institutionalized everywhere. 97% of the population of Tibet were slaves. The Dalai Lama owned slaves. The slavery did not end until Communist forces invaded Tibet and abolished it.

    No question, many leaders and members over the past 200 years of The Church of Jesus Christ, have mistakenly interjected their opinions as doctrine, like most of polygamy and the ban on the priesthood, but the basic teachings of Jesus of loving, serving and forgiving one another, are true and aren’t just natural to humans, they’re taught and learned. I stay active in the church because I know it’s right and true, but keep an open mind and reject false teachings and traditions, from all religions.

Ex Mormon people like this blasting a faith to anyone who will listen to her own downfall. This church does good world wide in ways no other church has. She has fallen from a spiritual belief into a personal spiritual loss of right from wrong. I have watched many of her videos and I will say this, she is wrong in blasting Mormons who are very good people and who attempt to live good life according to the laws of God in the name of his son Jesus Christ. She once had a countenance about her and now is gone to oblivion in none belief. This is the devils work you are watching... attacking Mormons in her coy way. I pray she finds her way back to God in any faith in the future. Shame on her attacking good people... She is also attacking her siblings, parents and friends.
