Does The LDS Church Keep a Record Of Confessed Sins?! | The BYU Honor Code and Mormon Snitch Culture 

Your new merch "God forgets but the bishop remembers " lol 😅

No long hair, no facial hair, no open toed shoes, must be clean, no piercings..... Jesus couldn’t even attend BYU 😆

This really upsets me. Young girls aren’t allowed alone in a room with a pediatrician and that’s one of the only people we tell our children to trust and expose themselves. But if your Mormon you feel fine with your daughter talking about her body or sexuality to a man she doesn’t even know well.

Yay! The best Ex Mormon’s I know are back! Seriously you guy’s have been so open and honest and have opened up my eyes to so much I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Thank you for being so real and raw. You two are pretty amazing ❤️

I totally agree with you Josh! No child or young child should be left alone with a slimy old dude to confess his o hers sins! 🤢😣

I thought they were saying “Bring ‘em young university” 🤣 i was like- well this will be gross 🤣

Just adore all three of you for doing this! Thank you so much Josh for bringing all of this to light! For so, so long I have been waiting for this to happen. It’s great to not feel alone in being an Ex-mo.

Shari Franke (8 Passengers oldest) is going to BYU this coming fall. She is going to be a GREAT snitch for the honor code, since she LOVES to snitch on all of her siblings!

That’s so true Jordan! I didn’t know half the stuff I know now until after I left.

Dad challenge...another good conversation would be with I Pray You Put This Journal Down. (Or...Put down this journal). It's podcast style from a guy who was friends with Josh and went to church with the Duggars.

These two are the best! I'm so glad Josh has helped spread their message ❤️

I love this Series!! The educational value is immeasurable!!!

I'm really enjoying this series! I hope that there will be a lot more of it!

You 3 make my Friday!!! Thank you. Much love to you all.

Love Jordan & McKay! Thank you so much for explaining all the things we have always wondered about!

These interviews are amazing. I can't wait for the next time 🌞

Absolutely love these videos.Thanks Josh ,thanks @JordanandMckay xxx

I love this series it’s so interesting, I’d love to see you do this series on Scientology one day 😀❤️

This series is my favorite you’ve ever done

HELLO FROM BRAZIL! I love learning from you guys

Another great video guys ❤️ can’t wait for the next one xx

This is so educational and I really enjoy watching these series!!

Yes josh! Loved your perspective on these issues ! And your protectiveness over the women and girls stuck in this religion/ cult - and bringing up the perspective of the gay people existing there !

Finally got a chance to watch this video.... awesome. Crazy shit! LOVE this series. Hey guys! I'll see you over on YOUR channel! Your new video is next up on my must watch list.... ❤

Hey, Josh, I’ve been loving this series, keep it up! You mentioned how Catholics also go to confession which is true but after hearing Jordan & McKay’s horrifying experience with it, I feel the need to clarify some of our differences. When we go to a priest to confess whatever sins we have, he doesn’t write anything down and is actually forbidden from even talking about it with anyone-he can be excommunicated from the Church if he does. It’s normally also done in a confidential manner where you’re in this funny little box where you can’t see each other. (To be fair though, if you’re an active member, your priest will probably recognize your voice so if that bugs you, if you think going to confession is important you can always go to a different parish.)

I'm excited!!! You guys are amazing!!

This series is soooooo good! I love hearing background info about mormons. You see sooo many on youtube and I don't know anything about that kinda religion. Well.. it is nuts apparently.

I love this series I’m so glad I caught this today I needed it.

Josh! Swoop had a clip of you in her video today!!! Amaaazing! People are watching and people are joining. What you’re doing is undeniably working. You’re the best.

I can’t get enough !!! Keep them coming !

When I was in Bible College, skipping chapel was a big no-go. You could lose marks for it. They were super strict about missing class too.

Thank you for doing this, this HAS to be exposed from the abuses in the Mormon Church.

Ahhh ive been waiting for this video since i saw it on my subscriptions feed

I am loving this channel more and more. Thank you for putting the reality of Mormonism out there. It is worse than I thought.

Jordan and McCay, I am enjoying these episodes!! Thank you for sharing and bringing to light some serious issues. I just followed you on tiktok!

These three together are 🙌!

Loving this series Josh 👍🏻 Jordan and McKay are Fab 🙂

Yay!! Can’t wait to watch this!

It definitely makes sense why these Mormon bloggers don’t care about child exploitation when they’ve been raised with the creepiness and ingrained sexual inappropriateness of the Mormon church and the leaders.

I grew up Mormon and officially left the church three years ago. I lived in BYU housing while going to hair school and UVU and I “messed up” a few times with boys and I had to go into every single little hairy detail and it made me sick to my stomach. At the time I just went with it because I thought I was doing what was right but it felt so wrong. The bishops (two separate) would ask and ask details and pry further and further and it was sooo gross. Now I see how wrong it is and they totally get off on it. It’s so disgusting. It’s one of the major reasons I left. Like josh said, Jesus made it so we didn’t have to confess to anyone and it disturbs me to have to report to a sick old man and he gets to decide my salvation and worship and freedom. NOT COOL.

I just watched your recent video and this one popped off after so I am just listening to this one to. I really like this lady and this guy! They seem awesome!

Excellent point Josh about quoting Matthew. I am enjoying (although I have my moments of WTF!) this series. I worry that Jordan is feeling the weight of living in a toxic area - wonderful that she has McKay, and each other. When one has to "go through" or "answer questions" to authorities, instead of Jesus, that's a cult, not a religion. Keeping files, spying, living in fear, shame - is a cult. Questioning children - parents may have their children taken away and here sexual questions are being asked without a parent or doctor being present is sick, simply sick. Passing on abusive elders to another location stinks of the Catholic Church. Sending care and support to all of you - Jordan, McKay and Josh. A HUGE thank-you for opening our eyes and being honest in Gods eyes too.

4 years of seminary. Hated every minute, especially since my mother made me quit choir for seminary. If anything seminary showed me how insane the religion is. Quit Mormonism the day I graduated from High school and seminary.

The faces Josh makes just cracks me up 🤣

I just LOVE these 2! (and again, Justin too of course) Cant say it enough! I think the 3 of them should have a podcast...they could just talk about what they had for dinner and Id be hooked!!! First class content here

Ironically, when I went to BYU-I became an unbeliever by the end of my four years.

I was Mormon from the age of 18 till about 30. I am 38 now. My husband still is Mormon. He just doesn’t get why I find a lot of the stuff absolutely ridiculous. It was really hard for me even when I was practicing to buy into most of it. I love the man, but the fact he’s a scientist and still believes what the LDS church says it’s just fascinating to me. Full disclosure: I’m atheist now.

I really enjoy this series

I wish we knew if Ruby, Bonnie, Ellie, Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths are watching this series and what their thoughts are. Are they shitting bricks over what’s to come? 🤗😆

Ready for next week 🍿🥤🛋👍🏼 thanks

I was a researcher at University of Utah and we had to go down to BYU (Provo) for a couple of days for work. When I was told about their dress code etc I thought they were joking 😅 but no they are dead serious

I live and grew up in Utah, seminary class took the place of another class period during the day. I was invited to go a lot and went once. They had to send my teacher a note that I would be in there for me to go.

I love this series..♡

Are you going to cover the Gardner Quad Squad? There is so much to unpack with that family (the usual exploitation of their 4 daughters for RU-vid) but the most recent issue is a big one and they should be cancelled. Almost a year ago, the dad was caught sending inappropriate DM’s to underage girls. Some channels called called them out, they went away for a little while but the father is slowly making his way back to their Instagram and seemed to have no repercussions. It’s disgusting and the fact that all the Mormon influencers still hang out with them (currently on a conference with them right now) speaks volumes.

Thank you for bringing up the chastity talks with the bishops between minors! It's disgusting

Love and look forward to this series with you & JordanandMcKay! Knowledge is power and that you end up blushing really hard over something every well.

Thanks learn new things each episode

The couple is very considerate & respectful to one another 👍👍✨✨ & sweet!

I went to a HS in UT, we had competitions at BYU sometimes. Once a student on our team had a beard and they wouldn't let him compete unless he shaved. He refused and had to wait on the bus. in the 2000s

I am blown away about how eye opening this all is. I am in awe people would live like this in the United States!

You guys are great! Jordan and McKay I've been having my husband watch these videos with me because, while I have told him the same things you guys talk about in similar ways, he understands it better coming from someone else. I ran, as fast as I could away from the mormon church when I was 18 and I've been out 31 years. The damage that culture did to me, and still does to people, is indescribable. I was sexually abused between the ages of 5 and 13...all at church....all at the hands of the local priesthood holders. The predators are well protected in that organization. I was made to confess all of it, as if I--the child in the situation--had done something wrong. When I was younger, they wrote out statements and then made me sign my little 5 year old name to it the best I could. When I was older I had to write it all out myself. Humiliated and shamed, doesn't even come close to how I was made to feel. And they keep all that in your file so if you move wards or get another bishop then they all have that information. The women in the Relief Society also have access to that information if their husband is the bishop--mormons LOVE juicy gossip-- and they make sure everyone knows it. They, in my experience, are just as bad a the men.

Loving this series!!!!!

Anyone else get an ad on this video for the LDS church??😂 can’t make this stuff up lmao

Still in some Baptist churches today teens have to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness sometimes in front of the whole congregation. Teen pregnancy is a huge one!

Another great vid...thanks x

Omg love this series...❤️

Josh I took a year off religion and I have done a complete 360. I was a catholic and I look ba k on it and think wtf was I thinking. They install fear in you while your a member. Fear that you won't go to heaven without the church. Fear you will never live a happy life with your husband or wife without the church. We live a much happier relaxing life now.

My mom is LDS. I married a "Smith"and when we got pregnant with a boy she suggested we should name him Joseph. I about died.... really mom.... really? That was a hard pass.

Ummm. Josh, we need a link to their RU-vid at the top of the description! Loved the vid!

The garments...finally! Can’t wait. X

Yay, my favorite apostates!!

Got my iced coffee, snack, and comfy spot on the couch. Ready!

I like that these two seem to have made well educated decisions 😃

when you talk about famous mormons, i'd love to hear jordan and mckay's thoughts on stephanie meyer and the twilight series lol

Here in AZ my high school had a seminar building. Majority of high schools have a seminar building that is technically not on school property 🙄 where I grew up was Mormon central. We have a Mormon church on every damn street.

Yess! Josh as a bishop ...I’m ready!!

When I was in Bible College i was reported on by one roommate. I was listening to Anne Murray and Kenny Rogers' CDs.

So funny I go to watch this and there’s a freaking commercial for a missionary movie😂

When I lived in residence at university in Newfoundland, we had room checks (called them room inspections) I think twice a semester but it wasn’t about the room being tidy (like your bed didn’t have to be made, etc.), it was more for actual cleanliness so we don’t end up with mice. What they looked at was the cleanliness (again, not neatness) and that nothing in the room was broken, no holes in the walls, no damage to the residences property. They also just checked to see if anyone had anything we weren’t allowed like microwaves since that was a safety thing. I hope BYU’s room checks were like this, not checking the neatness and cleanliness of the room 🙃

“Because lesbians right?” *looks at camera Me, a lesbian I want to get into BYU just to gay it up

Your channel has really opened my eyes, and this series is opening my eyes even more on the Mormon family bloggers I’ve watched, which I clearly will no longer be watching!!!! Have you done any videos on Thisishowwebingham ?

the whole "go live without religion constantly being funneled into you for a year and see what happens" is so true. I went to Catholic school until college and went to church every weekend growing up and just being able to finally step away from that and the constant religious influence on my education has been so freeing

The Jordan/McKay series is great. I was “in the church” for 5 years,and have absolutely Never heard of sooo much that

We have a private/religious university in our town. A couple we know got pregnant in college and she was expelled for honor code violation, but he was allowed to stay.

I’m not sure if someone has mentioned this but there are SOOO many similarities between the Mormans and Jehovahs Witnesses. The ones that leave are called Apostate, ppl have to confess to elders (always men), strict requirements for hair, dress and grooming. Culture of having to “report” others that do wrong. So many I can’t even state them all. Must respect to Jordan and McKay!! It took great strength for them to come forward.

I got a 32 on the act and applied to byu. I interviewed and did a visit to play football. I told someone in confidence about my beliefs and was asked to leave

This is refreshing

I like these guys

I was raised Mormon and I am like a poster girl for everything they fear 😂🖖

i'm so sad..waiting for the Love Meg product launch video and it went private... well im sure it was awesome lol

Did Jesus ask for confessions? Hell no! Forced confessions are nothing more than church efforts to pry money from their followers, saying give them money to have your sins forgiven, so you don't get outed and also don't burn in hell forever. Now that is serious black mail material. Disgusting!

I used to go to the lds “Mormon” church as a teen and I had to confess “sins” two or three times but I never had to write down a statement. But yep, still confessing to old married men. Luckily I don’t remember any of the bishops I had being creepy about it but I’ve definitely heard from friends of bishops wanting “details”. 🤮

His eldest daughter just got accepted to byu, she got offered other college's but basically had to pic but.

Hey Jordan and McKay - nice mics

I’ve always wondered what Mormons believed. Its so interesting but it’s also really sad and horrifying. 😓

Interesting. I am enjoying these interviews! A- wow, so pretty much all religions have fractures when they start. B- BYU is training a new generation of narcs. C- every time I watch one of these I want to go rewatch the movie "Orgazmo" again for the 1000th time.

The sexual confession talk, esp for women, gave me chills. It's disgusting and disturbing. And having to write it down and store that in a file for others to read....ew. its written p*rn.

This might explain what went down with Chad last year and how he was suddenly sent to the wilderness camp. It probably explains why that camp has so many Mormons sending kids there. Now late last year, Grandpa Griffith was made a bishop

My daughter goes to a Catholic (Jesuit) University. I can tell you guys some stories about their Honor Code. 😂 I went to a Public Uni and we had co-ed dorms. So boys and girls can actually bunk together. And that was in the late 90’s. It’s so weird how some of these schools haven’t moved anywhere since the 1950s. 😂

I went to catholic schools age 11-18. By the time I was done with high school I had lost my faith, my belief, alot that I had known about God. 9yrs later I'm just healing and trying to recover back my faith..churches are huge scams🙄🙄🙄
