@@joshhackett6639 be honest. There’s no way you can take what he said to mean excommunicated and you know it. They willingly left the church of their own accord. Don’t spread lies
For those of you that aren't familiar with Mormon theology and some of the references Matty made. Dad was a High Deacon = The priesthood is separated into two parts, Melchizedek (typically adult men) and Aaronic (typically young men). Different offices of the priesthood within those orders. Deacon is an office of the Aaronic priesthood. So think Matty's dad might have been a High Priest and possibly a member of the Bishopric (the men who lead the congregation). Each congregation and area can have their own cultures so Matty said in his ward families of Bishopric members would sit near the front (this definitely was not the case in my ward growing up). More official policy would say no one calling or position inside the church is more important than another, but there definitely is a hierarchy. Men who are put in positions of authority are 'generally' seen as more responsible, dependable, and fitting with church culture (so kinda corporate-y and business like). Basically, Matty's family was in deep and devout. 3 Levels of Heaves = Celestial Kingdom (which has three levels within it), Terrestrial, and then Telestial. People can visit lower kingdoms, but can't visit higher. So this ends up being used a peer pressure tactic. "You don't want to sin because then you won't end up with your family, or you wouldn't want to split up your family would you?". Various criteria for what qualifies you for which kingdom. Everyone who lived on Earth will get an eternal body, but only those who attain the Celestial kingdom will live with God. Excommunicated vs leaving = Excommunication is definitely a thing, but pretty rare. Matty admits it's more likely they just left the church. It's hard to leave / Church knows a lot about you = For a long time this was seen as a myth until recently proven in the past decade or so. Church, especially in Utah, sometimes keeps tabs on people who leave. They also make it very hard to resign from the church and have your records removed. Ancestry is sort of a separate thing, and nearly impossible to remove from church records. 10% percent of your money to the church = Tithing. Every member is encouraged to give 10% of their income to the church. Even kids like Matty will be encouraged to give literally pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters off their allowance or chore money. Seen as a very good faith promoting. Stories will be shared of kids choosing to give money to the church over spending it on other things and how grateful they are for it. Didn't drink coke / didn't watch PG movies = This varies from family to family, generation to generation, and area to area. I never drank coke that much, but my mom routinely drinks diet coke. Used to be Mormon myth that coke cola was against the Word of Wisdom (religious doctrine regarding health, food, diet, etc.). My family you couldn't watch PG-13s until you were 13 and then even some of those were seen as not super moral. Rs were hard off limits (my mom did let us watch one about Helen Keller because she though it would be helpful for us to learn about it). Some families will only watch G movies or be more strict with what the eat. Once again shows that Matty's family was pretty devout. Underwear = Members who get "endowed" in Mormon temples wear special garments or underwear. Basically Biblical temple rituals (like washing and anointing in Exodus) mixed with Masonic stuff. The rituals have been changed over the years and are pretty "tame" now. Like back in the day for some of the rituals you would have gotten completely naked, then 30ish years ago they changed it to where you wore a big poncho but no underwear, then poncho and underwear, I think now they don't have you change your clothes at all. It's not AS creepy as some people make it out to be, but it's also not as religious and ceremonious as other rituals in other religions. Do you have to give the underwear back? The official policy is you are supposed to cut them up or burn them when they wear out so no one will find them and copy them. Kinda pointless if you ask me since you can just google and see what they look like. But, keep in mind it's a religion so it's about making things more ceremonious so they can have more meaning. Suppressing desires or repression / going all out when you leave = Definitely a thing. A lot of people grow up in the church with this super strict environment and once they leave they turn 180 degrees pretty quickly. There are benefits to growing up with strict adherence to a moral code, but part of the problem is if you give it up learning moderation and self-control with vices. So, a lot of people will probably learn from their parents how to moderate alcohol but some exmormons might struggle with it cause it's totally new to them. I've left the church now and never felt very repressed by the rules so I didn't go crazy when leaving. For health reasons I still don't drink alcohol, caffeine, or do drugs. If you are thinking about leaving the church my advice is to take things slowly. Don't pile on coffee, alcohol, sex, masturbation, R movies, etc all at once. Change one thing at a time and don't feel like you have to do things just because you're trying to be "normal" now. Alcohol is a drug, yes it is used socially a lot, but that doesn't mean you have to drink it. Go to counseling if you need it, make sure you have friends or family to support you.
Thank you for taking the time to clarify. I just wish people were more willing to verse themselves on subjects before jumping to conclusions based on ramblings of a guy who can’t even remember anything about it.
@@ratchet780 I am no longer a believing Mormon. While Joseph Smith's history is one of my reasons for leaving the church. I don't think your question is asked in good faith. The church in it's history used to deny he was ever convicted as a fraud. More recently they just explain it away. People believe in the church for a lot of reasons. They grew up that way, sunk cost fallacy, there friends and family are in the church, etc.
Thanks for writing this, coming from Utah it's stuff I can;t be bothered to explain generally but wish people knew. Sometimes I explain it like this: They are well meaning people and there are plenty of evangelicals that are WAY crazier in my opinion.
I would like to emphasize the importance of taking it slow. The last thing you want is to get pregnant with someone you don't really know, get an STD, learn that you have a strong tendency toward alcoholism, etc. because you were just being reactive. Do some research, ask yourself if this is something you legitimately are interested in or if it's simply a rebellious decision, and give yourself time to mull over it first. I left when I was in my 20's and already had a wife and kids so I never felt comfortable jumping into the deep end. Not to mention I intrinsically have a disdain for taking a very black and white approach to anything, so doing crap just because someone else told me not to still counts as letting someone else make my decisions. A big reason I started questioning in the first place was from being told too many times to accept that something was right, whether or not it felt right (or made sense) to me. But I feel like I'm in the minority with that because it feels like way too many people out there (Mormon or not) are just looking for someone else to tell them how to think.
Really love the lack of hate when talking about the Mormon Church. I converted to it and I love it, and hey, for some it works and makes them happy, for some not, and it's all good! Our religion can seem pretty weird, admittedly so haha but their call outs on repression, great point.
You have to admit it's a little kooky/ borderline cultish, this coming from a non-denominational Christian. Especially since everyone basically knows at this point Joseph Smith was a wacko that literally tried to alter the Bible for his own benefit.
I really wish Joe would have at least ONE actual member of the church on the podcast. I've heard the church brought up a few times now on his podcast and I wish he'd have someone on to just talk about it openly.
And millions duped into paying for extravagant "temples" only worthy can go inside of...oh and that 10% of your income to stay in good standing is your ticket for a ride that absolutely zero people can say even exists...
Coke is actually not specifically prohibited in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), although often people in the Church feel it's best to avoid
@@tomboocock2108 literally most people list other reasons like censorship, not having spotify premium, no comments, the objectively worse UI for video.

@@maiin0w most people say, censorship, not having spotify premium, no comments, objectively worse UI for video, to name a few. But on a grander scale it's more or less becoming a meme for some of the community "that would be the camp I'm in". So I'm not one to care to much but there are a few reasons people give. Thoughts?
I grew up in the mormon church. Was baptized at 8, did all the Wednesday night stuff and Sunday school stuff. And like what was previously stated, not all wards are the same. The one I grew up in was small but for the most all good people. Always helping everyone they could. Around age 15 I started to get into skating and drugs and music. Told my mom fuck that shit and just stopped going. Guess I'm technically still a member since I've never been excommunicated officially. Everything this dude is talking about, I've seen, been a part of, it's all so odd to me now.
I can remember sitting there at like 10-11 years of age and thinking “I don’t belong here” As soon as I was old enough to stop going, I never looked back. My moms still a member but she’s cool about it. She’s not one of those weird Mormons lol she drinks soda like a mf
@@LKT1215 yeah my moms super cool now, let's me enjoy smoking a bowl or two, shredding some probably obnoxious sounding guitar, just whatever lol...she grew to respect what I'm passionate about and in turn I respect hers as well and it's pretty cool being able to just burn and play and hang with the family like this ever since
@@geoffsaunderson5766 there is no possible way he’s on blow. A coke addict who took some bumps would never be able to sit down for a 2-3 hour podcast without running to the bathroom to take another bump every 15-20 minutes. So no he’s not on coke in this podcast
Matty’s vibe is not matching up with joes vibe, they click once in a while but it just feels like Matty is too hyped about being on JRE and joes just like chillin letting Matty get the energy out lol 😂
Ya know, I grew up Mormon as well, and most of my family is still very active (I left it over 20 years ago) and this was not my experience at all. I think it all depends on how staunch and zealous ypur parents are. My parents made me go to church, yes. But when it was over, it was over. I could drink a mtn dew and watch Simpsons all day if I wanted. I still love most of the people in my parents ward because they are genuinely great people who don't judge or preach, and just believethe church is what'sbest for their lives. . You really can't base how an entire religion is based off of one person's story. I left the church many years ago, but I would never say anything bad about it.
Apparently Matty never read the Book of Mormon or the Doctrine and Covenants. Not written by 14 yr old Joseph Smith translated later from writings of prophets in the American continent just as the Bible was translated. The Bible had been copied many times.
I feel like the way that he described it doesn’t do justice to what it’s actually like. I’m Mormon and part of the church. I’m sure his experience could be the experience of others but I would say that’s like less than 1% of people. My parents weren’t ever like that. I could slam mountain dews and watch simpsons all day. That not part of the doctrine or preachings but rather the way that his parent wanted to live out what they believed at the time. It’s a lot less “culty” than you’d expect.
Love the talk of the mormon church. Grew up in it myself. It is a wild bubble you get put in. Very tough being out of it and still living in the mormon state as well. Even as an adult. That church has a very tight grip for sure
Very few people understand that the Mormon church does a lot of social services for people in their church and also the communities. Several times in my childhood they gave my family food and financial help. The tithing is actually effectively used.
@@claytonkickflip7595 pretty much every religion is but in the end I look at what they do and I’m sure most people who want to rag on the Mormon church do little to nothing and want to judge the world from their own high horse. So keep being a negative person and let my know how happy you are in 20 years.

@@BillyTheKidAudit take a psychology class. Children believe whatever they're told. And why wouldn't that be the case. Everyone's born knowing nothing including not knowing what lies are or how to critically think. Children eventually turn into adults who are free to do whatever they want.

I literally (not figuratively) said the words “no fucking way” the second I saw Matty made his way onto the JRE... this man is my spirit animal, and for the first time, I actually look forward to watching this on Spotify
Been Mormon my entire life. Didn't know bishops families had front row access. What the heck man!? Also we can't drink Coke or watch Simpsons? This sucks
Grew up Mormon. Parents were one of those ultra Molly Mormons. Had the same experiences as him not being able to watch anything above pg and stupid shit like that. Glad I finally left though
@@BettyWhite2171 10% of everything I earned. Even when I was a child. My grandparents give 20% of their paychecks. Even when I got birthday money they expected me to pay tithing.
Big Joe Rogan fan here. I like Matty a lot too. It's kinda funny he was on the JRE literally right after Action Bronson was like when Action did his cooking show on Vice and then Matty came in right after Bronson left.
I also grew up hard-core Mormon. No caffeinated drinks or PG-13 movies. Thought that evolution and homosexuality were evil etc... I envy this guy. I wish my parents left when i was a child instead of figuring it out as an adult.
I attended a Mormon College. Trust me when I tell you they don't believe that evolution is evil. At least not a professor I had. He said let people go one day without the benefits of organic evolution, and the modern conveniences it provides us, they will quickly change their mind!

One thing JRE has taught me that people are way more interesting than we expect them to be. First kudos to Mr Joe "DMT" Rogan for inviting and having awesome conversations. Secondly please come back to UA-cam.
I was also brought up Mormon and also left the church in my twenties (currently 31 and doing medical school because I'm a crazy SOB). I have to say this segment was hilarious, Matty seems like a really great guy who is 100% adding value to society through his art. I'm not sure though that Matty is the best guy to comment on the nuances of the LDS church if he can't even remember Joseph Smith's name lol. He got some stuff correct, but he either doesn't understand some key components and teachings of the church, or is intentionally trying to distance himself from them by pretending not to understand them (which is human nature of course). In spite of the fact that I don't agree with many of the teachings of the church, I feel compelled to say that of those in the church who live it and love it, you will never meet a finer group of people. They render all kinds aid and feed countless people throughout the world through their humanitarian efforts. The church doesn't extort you for money, nor do they blackmail you if you want to leave or force you to appear before a "tribunal" for people having children out of wedlock; the entire time I was a member I was free to do whatever I wanted. In fact, the freedom to choose is a key teaching of the LDS church. I would certainly not label the church as a cult, they are a religious group like any other, they just have a bomb recruiting department in which they have invested heavily (the missionaries). The missionaries are super nice kids. if you ever feel the need to beat the shit out of any of them, I'd say that's more a problem with you than with them, because they are--for the most part--very respectful of boundaries. They do believe some wacky things, but I would say that they are not even close to being in the same lane as scientology. I personally don't think it matters what religion you belong to so long as you love your nieghbor and treat everyone with respect and dignity. Much love from Pennsylvania.
My mentally unstable sister got exed for a baby out of wedlock. She even married the loser but still exed. It was the 80s and the church ran high on fueled SHAME. It wouldn't THINK of doing that now.
Gavin, very respectful comments. I have been on both sides of this argument. Born and raised Southern Baptist, converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and for the last few years stepped away from all religion. I respect those who practice a religion, and live my life as someone who honors Christ.
I agree with this comment. I do not believe Mormonism is true, but Mormons tend to be nice people. There are some things in Mormonism that some make sense , but their culture seems to be one of honesty and friendliness. I think Mormonism in the 20th century mellowed a lot and became (on the outside) more like mainstream Christianity in that, day-to-day, you’re just supposed to read your Bible and not be a jerk. Edit: “don’t make sense” not “some make sense”
They may have changed some details of their data but it’s highly unlikely they were removed from the archives. The COLS have the largest genealogical library/archive on earth inside of Granite mountain in Utah. They are definitely still in it.
Anybody who believes in mormonism is almost as stupid asa scientologist. And once you're in their data base youll never be out of it. Also if you ever used a genealogy website, you gave all the info to the mormon church. Theyre VERY sinister and evil
If anyone wants to be "stricken" of the book, the trash comes on Tuesdays where I live. I don't know what this guy is talking about, and if you want to see those deep dark secrets they have on your family, just go to FamilySearch.org. It's like Ancestry, but free. They've got census records and sometimes people put pictures of their grandparents on there... super dark!
it’s hard to get records out of the church bc if you don’t do it through local bishopric (which is awkward) they send ur request to their law firm ‘kirton mcconky’ who draws out the process over many months in order to dissuade you from following through with it. they want to keep the membership numbers up even if ppl aren’t actually attending
I grew up in Utah & I will never forget being over at a girls house with my buddy& the dad rolled in to tell us it was late & we had to leave. He was wearing nothing but those underwear ensembles. They are incredibly see thru, it was a rather uncomfortable encounter.

I’m an ex Mormon too and this is all bringing back so many memories😂😂😂. I love this. It’s true the Mormon church knows everything about it’s members it’s so scary. That’s one reason why I left among so many other crazy creepy cult things.
As a prior member of the LDS church this isn't the best representation of what happens when you leave. I left and they were sad to see me leave but never held information about me as leverage over me to get me to stay. He remembers the dogmatism but can't remember any of the reasoning behind it.
The records the Church has are records like birth, baptism, where you’ve lived, served you mission and things like that. It’s just record keeping then like, “We know all your secrets and will blackmail you with it!” It also helps your local church congregation keep in touch with you.
I grew up Mormon too and my whole family is still very active. I've tried for YEARS to leave the church officially, and they refuse to kill my record. You literally need a lawyer to officially leave the church. Matty is 100% correct.
Lol they can't FORCE you to go to church... If you decide you want out, don't go !! What are they gonna do? Send some Mormon ninjas to your house to capture you & drag you into church??
You actually just have to write a letter and that's it. Not quite sure how people come up with all this stuff. Of course, somebody will try to have a conversation with you because it is a massive process if people ever wanted to come back, but if you are certain then it's truly not a big deal. I've seen it done several times.
You can leave officially without having your record removed. They are allowed to keep records of what happens in their organization. Removing all of your records is like forcing them to pretend you were never there Which isn’t true. Don’t act like they didn’t allow you to stop being a member.
Active mormon here. That was hilarious to listen to. It is funny how kids wear glasses and see the world in odd colors. And the stereotypes that people use is funny. I might have to listen to this episode. I'd love to have a discussion with Joe on Mormonism. That would be fun. Elk hunting too. It would be fun to show people how impressive and unique elk are. How much personality they have.
@@JohannesWOW Why don't you zip up your pants and put your tape measure away. I really don't care about your ego. That is your personal problem to go work through.
My moms side of the family were Mormon early in her life but left around the time she finished high school mid 80’s. To this day they still send her a yearly letter or something of the sort.
For those curious, he’s referring to what’s is called “have your records removed”. In the mormon church, the only way to be 100% out, is you have to request all your records, because they do keep records on you like address who you married what their maiden names was etc., be removed from their keep. Its the final step in leaving as you’re basically telling them delete all info they have on you so they can’t contact you to try and reconvert you. It’s not being excommunicated because you are telling the church you want out, excommunication is the other way around.
@@sweetcheeks5775not really. The church will follow you and continue to try and send missionaries to get lapsed members to return. My wife was baptized Mormon as a kid and they follow us everywhere we go.
I think he's talking about Nauvoo, IL and Carthage, IL when he mentions the hill and the jail where Joseph Smith died... I live so near to there and it is a very surreal place. My uncle always stops in when he's back to get a t-shirt from the mormon gift shop that says 'I
Freedom and Mormon are two words that don't work together, once you join the Mormon church I heard that you're forced to serve as a Missionary or they make you seem like a sinner and stuff like that.
I drove past the Mormon temple in Cole Harbour about an hour ago. Beautiful building, well, kind of gaudy, but super weird religion. A teammate of mine on my high-school football team was part of a huge Mormon family. He was such good kid, but he was incredibly sheltered and ill-informed.
@@McKayLove Sure, if one looks at it through their God colored glasses after a lifetime of indoctrination, they are not nearly as culty as the Manson family, or the heaven’s gate cult, but still culty and irrational.
Going back almost 20 years ago I had a buddy in the Army who grew up in Utah as a Morman. He went from being super sheltered to drinking, smoking cigarettes, chasing girls and all the other stuff that young soldiers typically do. I never thought of that stuff as anything crazy, but to him it was a completely different world. He told me one day that he could never go back to Utah and relate to the people he knew there.
If Joseph Smith made it up when he was 14 then he must have been a genius. I don't think there are many 14 year old kids out there that could write the Book of Mormon.
Especially with all of the correlations with the archaeological evidence they're discovering about ancient America, etc. The problem is, nobody bothers to actually look into any of it themselves, they just believe the sensationalized propaganda they read on the internet.
'Mormon' here. Will explain a few things. I used to be the Assistant Membership Clerk so I know a bit about records. In order to formally leave the church you have to write them a letter requesting that your records be removed. Why? First off let's start with what records? Generally just DOB (think Baptism, what age group, etc), gender, contact information, including address. It's also so that fellow members can know what your address is. There is something called 'home/visiting' teaching where your supposed to go help someone out once a week. Also so the missionaries know where you are, members often feed them. Sometimes a record is 'annotated'. Only the Bishop can see this. The clerk may surmise that a record is annotated, because when they are trying to pull the record it doesn't come as fast or naturally as the others. I always assumed an annotated record was for things like "hey this guy beat his wife, is a pedophile, convicted of aggravated assault, etc'. I think the records can be annotated about other behaviors considered serious. Yeah, we are a pretty conservative bunch so sleeping around, drug use, etc may fall under that category. Key Word is 'MAY'. Why do I say this? Because church service is all voluntary and is obviously not always applied consistently. Also sometimes people will say apply for a mission under one bishop, get rejected, then go to another and get sent off without doing all the claimed things. It happens. The Ward I was in would have about 150 people attend every Sunday. 600 on the rolls total. There was a core group of say 100 people there every day, probably about another 50 or so there pretty often. Another 50 or so would come in occasionally. People come out of the woodwork though for Christmas and other holidays. Let's say 1/3 active. 1/3 passive members, 1/3 inactive. The church is often criticized about it's record keeping. Many people join for a time or leave over time and assume their absence communicates that they left. Then someone shows up years later, and their like wtf! I get it. But often times, those people are either still members, or their faith and activity in formal church services is just not the stereotype. We do have very distinct believes, and I feel like it's generally a mistake for people when analyzing any religious group to think in such black and white terms. The church not have a problem with people who disagree with them. Nor is that an accurate way for anyone to view religious people. These things are not easy to sort out. I think the single biggest mistake people make within 'Mormonism' is falling into black and white thinking, and not accepting that any grey areas. i.e. some kid in Idaho doesn't know to use google, finds Joseph Smith was a bigamist (which really isn't accurate when look into it, i.e. he fathered no illegitimate kids) then questions his whole reality. Meanwhile, his brother is super uptight, thinks the story of Er and Onan in the Old Testament has to do with Masterbation, when even BYU-Idaho Professors will teach it's about Levirate Marriage. . . The Church Cult, and the Anti-Cult are just as retarded as Matty.
I was raised Mormon up until a couple years ago and I can totally relate to never having a can of coke thing as well as that “once they let go of the reins” comment it’s safe to say hiding a child from all the dangers of the world is a sure fire way for them to eventually indulge in them I went from never having a cup of coffee a day in my life to doing oxycodone and xanax my freshman year of high school
“I don’t know shit. I just lived it.” The realest thing to ever be said. I love Matty.

What is this
@@lisahamilton1520 Latter Day Saints to Lysergic Acid Diethylamide
Fuck yeah!
Went from being blind to wide open
For those of you that aren't familiar with Mormon theology and some of the references Matty made.
Dad was a High Deacon = The priesthood is separated into two parts, Melchizedek (typically adult men) and Aaronic (typically young men). Different offices of the priesthood within those orders. Deacon is an office of the Aaronic priesthood. So think Matty's dad might have been a High Priest and possibly a member of the Bishopric (the men who lead the congregation). Each congregation and area can have their own cultures so Matty said in his ward families of Bishopric members would sit near the front (this definitely was not the case in my ward growing up). More official policy would say no one calling or position inside the church is more important than another, but there definitely is a hierarchy. Men who are put in positions of authority are 'generally' seen as more responsible, dependable, and fitting with church culture (so kinda corporate-y and business like). Basically, Matty's family was in deep and devout.
3 Levels of Heaves = Celestial Kingdom (which has three levels within it), Terrestrial, and then Telestial. People can visit lower kingdoms, but can't visit higher. So this ends up being used a peer pressure tactic. "You don't want to sin because then you won't end up with your family, or you wouldn't want to split up your family would you?". Various criteria for what qualifies you for which kingdom. Everyone who lived on Earth will get an eternal body, but only those who attain the Celestial kingdom will live with God.
Excommunicated vs leaving = Excommunication is definitely a thing, but pretty rare. Matty admits it's more likely they just left the church.
It's hard to leave / Church knows a lot about you = For a long time this was seen as a myth until recently proven in the past decade or so. Church, especially in Utah, sometimes keeps tabs on people who leave. They also make it very hard to resign from the church and have your records removed. Ancestry is sort of a separate thing, and nearly impossible to remove from church records.
10% percent of your money to the church = Tithing. Every member is encouraged to give 10% of their income to the church. Even kids like Matty will be encouraged to give literally pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters off their allowance or chore money. Seen as a very good faith promoting. Stories will be shared of kids choosing to give money to the church over spending it on other things and how grateful they are for it.
Didn't drink coke / didn't watch PG movies = This varies from family to family, generation to generation, and area to area. I never drank coke that much, but my mom routinely drinks diet coke. Used to be Mormon myth that coke cola was against the Word of Wisdom (religious doctrine regarding health, food, diet, etc.). My family you couldn't watch PG-13s until you were 13 and then even some of those were seen as not super moral. Rs were hard off limits (my mom did let us watch one about Helen Keller because she though it would be helpful for us to learn about it). Some families will only watch G movies or be more strict with what the eat. Once again shows that Matty's family was pretty devout.
Underwear = Members who get "endowed" in Mormon temples wear special garments or underwear. Basically Biblical temple rituals (like washing and anointing in Exodus) mixed with Masonic stuff. The rituals have been changed over the years and are pretty "tame" now. Like back in the day for some of the rituals you would have gotten completely naked, then 30ish years ago they changed it to where you wore a big poncho but no underwear, then poncho and underwear, I think now they don't have you change your clothes at all. It's not AS creepy as some people make it out to be, but it's also not as religious and ceremonious as other rituals in other religions. Do you have to give the underwear back? The official policy is you are supposed to cut them up or burn them when they wear out so no one will find them and copy them. Kinda pointless if you ask me since you can just google and see what they look like. But, keep in mind it's a religion so it's about making things more ceremonious so they can have more meaning.
Suppressing desires or repression / going all out when you leave = Definitely a thing. A lot of people grow up in the church with this super strict environment and once they leave they turn 180 degrees pretty quickly. There are benefits to growing up with strict adherence to a moral code, but part of the problem is if you give it up learning moderation and self-control with vices. So, a lot of people will probably learn from their parents how to moderate alcohol but some exmormons might struggle with it cause it's totally new to them. I've left the church now and never felt very repressed by the rules so I didn't go crazy when leaving. For health reasons I still don't drink alcohol, caffeine, or do drugs.
If you are thinking about leaving the church my advice is to take things slowly. Don't pile on coffee, alcohol, sex, masturbation, R movies, etc all at once. Change one thing at a time and don't feel like you have to do things just because you're trying to be "normal" now. Alcohol is a drug, yes it is used socially a lot, but that doesn't mean you have to drink it. Go to counseling if you need it, make sure you have friends or family to support you.
Thank you for taking the time to clarify. I just wish people were more willing to verse themselves on subjects before jumping to conclusions based on ramblings of a guy who can’t even remember anything about it.
Can you also explain to me why you follow the religion created by a man convicted of fraud when he was 18? Thanks
@@ratchet780 I am no longer a believing Mormon. While Joseph Smith's history is one of my reasons for leaving the church. I don't think your question is asked in good faith.
The church in it's history used to deny he was ever convicted as a fraud. More recently they just explain it away. People believe in the church for a lot of reasons. They grew up that way, sunk cost fallacy, there friends and family are in the church, etc.
Thanks for writing this, coming from Utah it's stuff I can;t be bothered to explain generally but wish people knew. Sometimes I explain it like this: They are well meaning people and there are plenty of evangelicals that are WAY crazier in my opinion.
I would like to emphasize the importance of taking it slow. The last thing you want is to get pregnant with someone you don't really know, get an STD, learn that you have a strong tendency toward alcoholism, etc. because you were just being reactive. Do some research, ask yourself if this is something you legitimately are interested in or if it's simply a rebellious decision, and give yourself time to mull over it first.
I left when I was in my 20's and already had a wife and kids so I never felt comfortable jumping into the deep end. Not to mention I intrinsically have a disdain for taking a very black and white approach to anything, so doing crap just because someone else told me not to still counts as letting someone else make my decisions. A big reason I started questioning in the first place was from being told too many times to accept that something was right, whether or not it felt right (or made sense) to me. But I feel like I'm in the minority with that because it feels like way too many people out there (Mormon or not) are just looking for someone else to tell them how to think.

You have to admit it's a little kooky/ borderline cultish, this coming from a non-denominational Christian. Especially since everyone basically knows at this point Joseph Smith was a wacko that literally tried to alter the Bible for his own benefit.

All of them.
Ya know, I grew up Mormon as well, and most of my family is still very active (I left it over 20 years ago) and this was not my experience at all. I think it all depends on how staunch and zealous ypur parents are. My parents made me go to church, yes. But when it was over, it was over. I could drink a mtn dew and watch Simpsons all day if I wanted. I still love most of the people in my parents ward because they are genuinely great people who don't judge or preach, and just believethe church is what'sbest for their lives. . You really can't base how an entire religion is based off of one person's story. I left the church many years ago, but I would never say anything bad about it.
Ya that's kinda how I am. I started smoking spice 11 years ago (no bud hookups) and quite going. I grew up in wvc
church itself is weird. i grew up with christianity and i will make fun of every religion
Apparently Matty never read the Book of Mormon or the Doctrine and Covenants. Not written by 14 yr old Joseph Smith translated later from writings of prophets in the American continent just as the Bible was translated. The Bible had been copied many times.
I feel like the way that he described it doesn’t do justice to what it’s actually like. I’m Mormon and part of the church. I’m sure his experience could be the experience of others but I would say that’s like less than 1% of people. My parents weren’t ever like that. I could slam mountain dews and watch simpsons all day. That not part of the doctrine or preachings but rather the way that his parent wanted to live out what they believed at the time. It’s a lot less “culty” than you’d expect.
This guy gets it.
Joe just matty flow. I loved this even though i knew everything. I just love matty. Thanks joe for knowing how to work with matty.
Love the talk of the mormon church. Grew up in it myself. It is a wild bubble you get put in. Very tough being out of it and still living in the mormon state as well. Even as an adult. That church has a very tight grip for sure

Theres benefits to that though. You prolly have a good head on your shoulders

I was also brought up Mormon and also left the church in my twenties (currently 31 and doing medical school because I'm a crazy SOB). I have to say this segment was hilarious, Matty seems like a really great guy who is 100% adding value to society through his art. I'm not sure though that Matty is the best guy to comment on the nuances of the LDS church if he can't even remember Joseph Smith's name lol. He got some stuff correct, but he either doesn't understand some key components and teachings of the church, or is intentionally trying to distance himself from them by pretending not to understand them (which is human nature of course). In spite of the fact that I don't agree with many of the teachings of the church, I feel compelled to say that of those in the church who live it and love it, you will never meet a finer group of people. They render all kinds aid and feed countless people throughout the world through their humanitarian efforts. The church doesn't extort you for money, nor do they blackmail you if you want to leave or force you to appear before a "tribunal" for people having children out of wedlock; the entire time I was a member I was free to do whatever I wanted. In fact, the freedom to choose is a key teaching of the LDS church. I would certainly not label the church as a cult, they are a religious group like any other, they just have a bomb recruiting department in which they have invested heavily (the missionaries). The missionaries are super nice kids. if you ever feel the need to beat the shit out of any of them, I'd say that's more a problem with you than with them, because they are--for the most part--very respectful of boundaries. They do believe some wacky things, but I would say that they are not even close to being in the same lane as scientology. I personally don't think it matters what religion you belong to so long as you love your nieghbor and treat everyone with respect and dignity. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Personally I think religion is the absolute biggest scam on the planet.
But everyone is different.
Good luck in med school.
My mentally unstable sister got exed for a baby out of wedlock. She even married the loser but still exed. It was the 80s and the church ran high on fueled SHAME.

Gavin, very respectful comments. I have been on both sides of this argument. Born and raised Southern Baptist, converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and for the last few years stepped away from all religion. I respect those who practice a religion, and live my life as someone who honors Christ.
Hey well said brother.
I agree with this comment. I do not believe Mormonism is true, but Mormons tend to be nice people. There are some things in Mormonism that some make sense , but their culture seems to be one of honesty and friendliness. I think Mormonism in the 20th century mellowed a lot and became (on the outside) more like mainstream Christianity in that, day-to-day, you’re just supposed to read your Bible and not be a jerk. Edit: “don’t make sense” not “some make sense”

The records the Church has are records like birth, baptism, where you’ve lived, served you mission and things like that. It’s just record keeping then like, “We know all your secrets and will blackmail you with it!” It also helps your local church congregation keep in touch with you.

My moms side of the family were Mormon early in her life but left around the time she finished high school mid 80’s. To this day they still send her a yearly letter or something of the sort.
another intriguing and informative guest. Love, Art, Food, Life. Spotify should figure out the comments section. This type of stuff is good.
The coca cola to acid pipeline is harshly present in the mormon community.
10000% exmormons love psychedelics and I still don’t know why
lol I've never even heard of this. Must be regional.
Or even some of us active mormons who enjoy some psychedelics
Hey us mormons do 24 hour fasts to feel the spirit. Which has been shown to produce more DMT in the brain... Just saying
@@LimewaterMusic It's a taste for the religious experience which is the factor here
How ripped is Joe during this episode... Matty could have a conversation with a sack of PEI potatoes for an hour and I'd watch it.
BEST fuckin spuds
PEI in the house....Born and raised!!

For those curious, he’s referring to what’s is called “have your records removed”. In the mormon church, the only way to be 100% out, is you have to request all your records, because they do keep records on you like address who you married what their maiden names was etc., be removed from their keep. Its the final step in leaving as you’re basically telling them delete all info they have on you so they can’t contact you to try and reconvert you. It’s not being excommunicated because you are telling the church you want out, excommunication is the other way around.
Lol that’s like saying I’m not out of grade school cause they still have my school records.
@@sweetcheeks5775not really. The church will follow you and continue to try and send missionaries to get lapsed members to return. My wife was baptized Mormon as a kid and they follow us everywhere we go.
I think he's talking about Nauvoo, IL and Carthage, IL when he mentions the hill and the jail where Joseph Smith died... I live so near to there and it is a very surreal place. My uncle always stops in when he's back to get a t-shirt from the mormon gift shop that says 'I
Never knew how bad I needed and wanted this episode thank god for it 😂 another banger from rogan
If this whole episode was on youtube i would watch it and like it and share it.
I know! It blows joe sold out
Blah blah blah same comment different clip. Don’t like it? Well stop watching altogether cause we hate you
@@GLo1991 Wow you hate people for liking watching something on youtube? Nice on G Lo, you seem like a great guy.

Hahaha Mattys comeback tho “I’m busy I have 6 jobs”
Joe Rogan's religion is that smug posture while discussing religion.
Are you wearing LDS underwear writing this?
@@mar-a-lagofbibug8833
Yes
@@heidi7151 lol you know Joseph smith is a convicted felon right? Was arrest at 18 for fraud, funny how they don’t teach you that in Sunday school
Being Mormon kind of sucks ngl
@@chasesallegory738
I'm not Mormon but I've heard it's a loooot of waking up early and also no booze.
Please ask the President of the church or an LDS apostle to be one of your guest 🙏
Very happy you made onto to JRE, eh. Proud Northern.
Oh yes I also go straight from coke soft drinks to acid too my guy was risking it all
FINALLY. Was wondering when Joe would extend an invite to the great Mr. Matheson
I know right , about time
I live 20 mins away from Matty's chicken restaurant...love his content!
Is it in liberty village i remember seenin him there a few times
@@jasongodify the one I know of is in Fort Erie
Loooooove Matty! Can't wait to listen.
Freedom and Mormon are two words that don't work together, once you join the Mormon church I heard that you're forced to serve as a Missionary or they make you seem like a sinner and stuff like that.
I swear... as I'm writing this, im listening to it on spotify.. love you Joe
Lol, that's some inception level s*** man.
I drove past the Mormon temple in Cole Harbour about an hour ago. Beautiful building, well, kind of gaudy, but super weird religion.
A teammate of mine on my high-school football team was part of a huge Mormon family. He was such good kid, but he was incredibly sheltered and ill-informed.
@matthew bradley the lds church isn't nearly as cult-y as you and a lot of people think.
Well most of today’s kids are incredibly exposed to way too much. Which one is worse being incredibly sheltered or being overly exposed
@@McKayLove Sure, if one looks at it through their God colored glasses after a lifetime of indoctrination, they are not nearly as culty as the Manson family, or the heaven’s gate cult, but still culty and irrational.
@@Solitaire427 That’s a false dichotomy. How about we avoid both?
@@Solitaire427 it's definitely much worse to be sheltered.
Going back almost 20 years ago I had a buddy in the Army who grew up in Utah as a Morman. He went from being super sheltered to drinking, smoking cigarettes, chasing girls and all the other stuff that young soldiers typically do. I never thought of that stuff as anything crazy, but to him it was a completely different world. He told me one day that he could never go back to Utah and relate to the people he knew there.
this whole podcast was great
I was raised mormon too and its scary how similar some of his thoughts of the church as a kid were to mine.
Who else thought this was an OG episode that somehow slipped through the cracks because of the guest’s red curtain backdrop?
Rogan should have his own streaming subscription. I’d pay $10 a month to listen to him uncensored.
Agreed. He could have made the 100 million, it just would have taken longer
Rogan simps?
Been waiting for this one!!!! It's a not disappoint shout out to MaddieMattz
mattys one of my favourite dudes on this planet no joke.
Joe: He invented it when he was 14 years old.
Matty: Let's goooooo.
It's like tik tokers same shit.
💀💀💀💀
If Joseph Smith made it up when he was 14 then he must have been a genius. I don't think there are many 14 year old kids out there that could write the Book of Mormon.
Especially with all of the correlations with the archaeological evidence they're discovering about ancient America, etc. The problem is, nobody bothers to actually look into any of it themselves, they just believe the sensationalized propaganda they read on the internet.
It's not difficult to plagiarize.
@jeffs4483 Its pretty complicated yod have to have a full team of people to create it
'Mormon' here. Will explain a few things.
I used to be the Assistant Membership Clerk so I know a bit about records.
In order to formally leave the church you have to write them a letter requesting that your records be removed.
Why?
First off let's start with what records? Generally just DOB (think Baptism, what age group, etc), gender, contact information, including address. It's also so that fellow members can know what your address is. There is something called 'home/visiting' teaching where your supposed to go help someone out once a week. Also so the missionaries know where you are, members often feed them.
Sometimes a record is 'annotated'. Only the Bishop can see this. The clerk may surmise that a record is annotated, because when they are trying to pull the record it doesn't come as fast or naturally as the others.
I always assumed an annotated record was for things like "hey this guy beat his wife, is a pedophile, convicted of aggravated assault, etc'. I think the records can be annotated about other behaviors considered serious. Yeah, we are a pretty conservative bunch so sleeping around, drug use, etc may fall under that category. Key Word is 'MAY'.
Why do I say this? Because church service is all voluntary and is obviously not always applied consistently. Also sometimes people will say apply for a mission under one bishop, get rejected, then go to another and get sent off without doing all the claimed things. It happens.
The Ward I was in would have about 150 people attend every Sunday. 600 on the rolls total. There was a core group of say 100 people there every day, probably about another 50 or so there pretty often. Another 50 or so would come in occasionally. People come out of the woodwork though for Christmas and other holidays. Let's say 1/3 active. 1/3 passive members, 1/3 inactive.
The church is often criticized about it's record keeping. Many people join for a time or leave over time and assume their absence communicates that they left. Then someone shows up years later, and their like wtf! I get it. But often times, those people are either still members, or their faith and activity in formal church services is just not the stereotype. We do have very distinct believes, and I feel like it's generally a mistake for people when analyzing any religious group to think in such black and white terms. The church not have a problem with people who disagree with them. Nor is that an accurate way for anyone to view religious people. These things are not easy to sort out.
I think the single biggest mistake people make within 'Mormonism' is falling into black and white thinking, and not accepting that any grey areas. i.e. some kid in Idaho doesn't know to use google, finds Joseph Smith was a bigamist (which really isn't accurate when look into it, i.e. he fathered no illegitimate kids) then questions his whole reality. Meanwhile, his brother is super uptight, thinks the story of Er and Onan in the Old Testament has to do with Masterbation, when even BYU-Idaho Professors will teach it's about Levirate Marriage. . . The Church Cult, and the Anti-Cult are just as retarded as Matty.
How on earth did I miss matty matheson on the JRE?
This one really needs the comment section
Proud “Mormon” here 🖐. I love this show and love Joe Rogan.
Joe: “Joseph Smith invented it when he was 14.”
Matty: “Let’s go! That’s incredible!”
*Growing Up Mormon and Excommunicated* is Joe Rogan's Secret Underground Rap Album
I love Mattys energy
Did the full podcast get taken down? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
I was raised Mormon up until a couple years ago and I can totally relate to never having a can of coke thing as well as that “once they let go of the reins” comment it’s safe to say hiding a child from all the dangers of the world is a sure fire way for them to eventually indulge in them I went from never having a cup of coffee a day in my life to doing oxycodone and xanax my freshman year of high school
