Ex-Mormons Relive Temple Experience 

@Holy Koolaid, the only people a loved to go in the Temple are Mormons with temple recommends and since everything done in the temple is "sacred not secret" members who have not been in the temples and non members don't ask and Mormons don't tell.

@@sandibonner4808 Temples are like Mormon Vegas. What happens there, stays there!

@@DarqueDesires So what happens in Vegas, DOESN'T stay in Vegas?

Fear

@@mylesmarkson1686 except herpes, that sh*t comes back with you

What one is told during the crucial, formative years, he will likely carry with him for life. Religious people know this all too well, which is why they're so focused on the education of young people. If indoctrination skipped one generation, I bet all religions would rapidly fizzle out.

Amen to those words!!!!! I was a Jehovah's Witness for more than 20 years and finally got out. We're the only ones who have God's blessing. You don't want to be left behind.

Normal is relative. What you grow up in is your normal.

@@debbieworth7865the only ones with gods blessing? Goddamn, don’t you realize how conceited that sounds?

@@AtheistAgainstChristianTerror of course this sounds conceited, but that what they are told!!!! It is also very selfish to think we're the only ones. John 3:16 says whosoever, not who is a jw

Tithing is one of the things I despise the most about religious institutions. LDS is just greedier than most.

Check out on RU-vid: " Come unto Christ, Alma 30"! compare with " Come Unto Christ, Mosiah 27"! Who is who? Who is following the Gospel of Jesus Christ? And Why? The doctrine of Christ or of Man? Are you like Alma the Younger or like Korihor? It is your Choice! Choices come with consequences or Blessings!

Please tell me what Getting Endowed entails! Better still, show me a video! 😃

Can you tithe anonymously so would they need to know you're paying to get a temple recommendation

Why do you think getting your temple recommend would cost you money? They do not cost money. They do not require you to pay back-pay on your tithing to get your money. Tithing is optional as well as your temple recommend. I’m glad you didn’t get one. You obviously are not ready if you think going to the temple would help your testimony. A testimony is a personal thing between you and Jesus Christ. The church’s sole purpose is to help you get closer to Jesus Christ. They don’t force anyone to do anything. It blows my mind how many falsehoods are spread about our church. It’s ok to have doubts. It is your job to deal with your doubts as you please.

@Geoffrey Tuiloma how does talking about their experiences make them evil? Also I don't understand the reference to partaking of fruit. Did you put the wrong scripture?

Maybe taking of what temple life offers is fruit? Or working in their storehouse when jobless? Or being friendly to unfriendly?

@@bigfanofhazbin7106 These two performers represent the people in the great and spacious building in Lehi’s dream of the tree of life. They are mocking and pointing their fingers on them that have partaken of the fruit. (1Nephi 8:26-27)

Oh dude you should see the Masonic rip off secret handshakes they do to get into heaven 😂😂🥺

@@jimbomanzano5743 ah yes. Fingers certainly are being pointed. To bring light to a dangerous organization that actively harms people while hoarding wealth like a dragon.

Same - that was the worst part for me. I think I slightly laughed or made some sounds of disbelief. The look my mom gave me…if looks could kill. 😂

Just seeing pictures of temple clothing, before I was sealed to my convert ex husband, made my head spin!! I absolutely thought “omg I really was raised in a cult!!” Then I silently freaked everytime I looked over at my precious Dad. It was shocking.

Mormons ire have a lot of rules and rituals. Cult like rituals.

Like no previous religious groups have had rituals or prayers right lol 😂

Me too!

Lol, I would of payed money to see the look on the burglars face when he opened the bag. They were probably like WTF 🤨

@@G274Me Had they been Mormons, they would've been all "Yes! Free temple-clothes!!!"

OMG lmao

I am laughing hysterically at this! Hahahahaha. I can only imagine what the cop was thinking!

😂😂😂

They don't know better, have been brainwashed for some time just like Islam and Christians. Rich laugh at poor, those rich ones don't know better ...

Dude ikr

Bro idk how people can believe that bloke Joseph Smith. People believe anything

Humans are excellent hypocrites 😁cognitive dissonance and all that.

@@garfieldarbuckle6714 Yes, people will believe anything, and conversely, people will also disbelieve anything, and generally without investing anything resembling "due diligence". What matters is what do you believe to be true deep inside your soul, or body or mind, if you believe there is no soul? Truth is Eternal. Truth does not vanish simply because someone in Authority is proven to be a Charlatan and a complete Fraud. Do I sound completely delusional or what? :) What I am trying to get across is this: Don't discard all your options based on the failings of someone who is in it for reasons they choose not to be honest about. They are accountable for their actions. Keep an open mind and heart. Peace and blessings. Namasté.

Now figure out what the real truth is

Love your name.

I grew up with JW families surrounding me and lived in fear of Armageddon until my aunt said main offender,/uncle of mine was a bag of wind…

"namaste" "grown ass adult" iiiidk about that

My mum is a JW and my brother is a Mormon. They both think the other one is crazy.

Outside the temple...does a mormon freshly married couple not wear this white dress and he a fine suit?

@@hansberger4939 that depends on the couple, they can wear what ever they want outside of the temple but you arent allowed to wear your temple clothes outside the temple.

@@Visshaldar i guess nobody wants to... Just a moment... arent they recommendet to wear the magic underwear all the time? Do they dress up in wedding clothes just for the celebration? or is mormon wedding something very different?

@@hansberger4939 yes, the underwear is all the time. the actual religious ceremony takes place in the temple and you have to wear the weird get up for that. most couples will have a reception afterward somewhere else b/c not everyone is allowed in the temple. at the reception most opt for typical american wedding type clothes.

HAHAAHHAAAAAAA. Do you HAVE to do everything sarcastically

it looks very greek or roman

That part lmbo

Lmfao😂😂😂

I'm a Mormon and tea farmer .

@Gal De Som I'm kinda the same... the pockets feel odd, so I despise them

It is so nice to have a place to put your hands!!!!

I’ve always loved dresses with pockets! 😂

I audibly gasped when I saw the pockets on the dress 😂

Look up dresses from scottevest.

There is actual mormon-themed porn. If this isn’t the premise for a scene already, I don’t understand how.

@@cathycra182 huh. Maybe I’m working in the wrong industry then with all these great ideas ;)

@@oboequeen22 I was gonna say: strip poker with mormons sounds like alot of fun.

@@JohnDoe-zu2cm exmormons too I think all of us are super kinky from the sexual suppression in the cult

@@KatieTheDev Thats the point. Joseph Smith did that on purpose.

Well, not entirely true. Unlike Scientology, Mormonism makes no demands or suggestions to separate from your family if they are non-believers. In fact, they are encouraged to “love them into the kingdom”. Which is to say keep hammering away at them 😂 - Ex Mormon for Jesus

Wow!!!!.Forced??? What part of the country or world do you live in? I've heard horror stories about how some bishops do. You're smart enough to know that that isn't the Lord's way or the way the Church teaches. I'm truly sorry for your experience. It's appalling and devilish.

​@@DMills-un1tl The hammering away comes from the person trying to get you back. It's not the Lord's way -- I think you probably know that but the poisonous experience lingers and you had to walk away!!!

Not forced... quietly manipulated. In one case the victim is directly told what to do and given consequences. In the other case the victim is unaware of consequences and doesn't realize they're being controlled.

What is wrong with wearing white in a holly place? Or getting married with a veil?

The first time I went through it I remember thinking "what the heck have I been involved with my whole life". Then I chided myself and made myself take it seriously. Now that I'm out, though...

I was so freaked out goin through the temple I honestly thought we were going to sacrifice a goat or something

Funny thing is NONE of this is biblical 🤣😂🤣

@@MaryJaneOctane yeah it’s all ripped off from the free masons and they’re still pissed about it lol

@@MaryJaneOctane Maybe open your bible to the book of Exodus, chapter 28, and then post again scriptorian! Nothing like non-educated and ignorant comments being posted.

I wonder why they give everyone the same name who comes through on the same day? Maybe it simplifies record keeping or something?

Why was my temple name "Cocksworth" though?

I'm hearing more and more horror stories of how Individuals add their own flavor to what is to be taught. I think they cause a lot of damage cuz it's Not The Lord's way. How did they get so far from the prescribed way, that is clear if the handbook is read???? What Really appalls me is what some bishops have done. Where are their Area leaders? There will be influences from all sides trying to poison the Church, we know this. But what about the people that they have "destroyed"? I'm resilient and know the Gospel but I just found out recently that not everyone is like me. Well, the ones that do Church work in their own way will be held accountable and it won't go well. But still, the ones that are led astray 😢

It’s not a secret. This is spoken about in the Old Testament. The name is sacred, yes. Remember, even temple workers are human. No body is perfect. They all respond to things differently. It’s not about secrets it’s about the sacredness of the ceremonies. Every religion has some sort of sacredness to their beliefs. I’m not sure why there is such an obsession from people about trying to talk negatively about the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

@@johnbaniago4005 "Ordinances instituted in the heavens before the foundation of the world, in the priesthood, for the salvation of men, are not to be altered or changed." -Joseph Smith "He set the temple ordinances to be the same forever and ever and set Adam to watch over them, to reveal them from heaven to man, or to send angels to reveal them." -Joseph Smith Was the first true prophet of God wrong, or have the current leaders led you all astray? As you sit in these large and spacious buildings laughing at those that seek truth outside of it.

I promise you it wasn't a waste of your time

Richard Atkinson - most sacred rituals are reflected in different ceremonies throughout all eras of history. To understand them better it is helpful to know eg Jewish or Egyptian Rituals & more recently in history coronation ceremonies. Of course this does not make you a believer, but it helps you see & understand the deeper meaning of seemingly silly gestures.

@@barbaraemmenegger6781 Yes, people have been doing silly, pointless nonsense like this for millennia! Agreed!

@@johnbaniago4005 It’s so obviously made up though. It’s ridiculous.

They make wedding dresses for the temple. Its not just this dress.

We wear a normal wedding dress for the reception. These clothes in the video is just for the sealing. After the sealing, we change into normal and fancy wedding clothes to take the pictures and for the reception. She's just being a baby.

@@allanapereira9779 still weird and culty

Joseph Smith stole the endowment ceremony from the Masons.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Those Mormons sure cream fill their wives as evident by all the offspring.

kkk??? or just plain creepy looking.

Nooo... He is the pillsbury character!

Girl. Run far. Run fast. It took a 14yo girl being kidnapped and repeatedly sexually assaulted (Elizabeth Smart) and then advocating for herself and her worth as a human for the Mormon community at large to even begin a conversation about conflating worth with "purity". That should tell you all you need to know about the general character of the community.

I grew up Mormon (Haven't been in like 7 years now). And its pretty intense. Almost everyone I have met in that community is extremely unhappy and judgemental and always fighting over hypocritical things.

Yeah they're crazy pants

Don't get scared, even in the days of Jesus Christ we have people like this, so why should you fear. There must be opposition in all things. Even among the Apostles, there was one who betrayed Jesus Christ, so such will ever remain to happen.

Same, but in my case it was my ex boyfriend. We broke up (not really because of religious reasons, just sentimental reasons) and I mourned the relationship for the loooongest time. Then I just started reading about this Church out of nowhere, and my view about him changed completely. I really don't get how a rational adult could believe in all of this. And I also read they expect non believers who date believers to convert to their religion. LOL, that was not going to happen. I'm actually glad we broke up now because I really couldn't have lasted with someone who wholeheartedly believes all this circus and cultish things. I would never want to raise children into this either. So the break up was definitely for the best 🤣

Same here, i laughed thinking about my parents grandparents and aunts in these clothes.

I left before too but part of me now wishes I had gone to the temple just once so I know what my reaction would have been lol

Same I can’t stop thinking about my younger brothers that have done this crazy

Same

Yea it's crazy

good for you. Luck moving forward

Left the church after high school. If you really want to get into the depth of the corruption and hypocrisy of the church just look into how long it took Mormons to allow black people to even enter the temple. For a church that was supposed to be all accepting they sure were racists for about a century lol

That's the only reason to buy dresses these days. Pockets.

I found this really creepy as well!

There is evidence of temple Worship throughout the bible. There has always been different rituals and many religions worship and dress in certain ways. Do we make fun of how the pope dresses?? How a rabbi dresses? A muslim? This is no different. Easy to mock what you don’t understand or something that has no meaning to you. I assure you that there is so much more to latter day saints and Christ’s church on the earth. The mormons you met were happy bc they are filled with light and truth and follow Christ. Judging by the tree, you are missing a whole wealth or knowledge and goodness of the “forest” May you continue to seek light and god in your life and not mock things you don’t understand.

@bombadillo2. I’m so sad that you left the faith. To members of who leave the church, 1 John 2:19 says “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” The mockery displayed in this video of something Latter-day Saints hold sacred is unchristian of people who say they believe in the Bible. Do they really? But Latter-day Saints had been tried since the early Pioneer days, even now and will be up to the second coming of Christ. Why? In D&C 136:31-33, the Lord says, “My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not bear chastisement is not worthy of my kingdom. Let him that is ignorant learn wisdom by humbling himself and calling upon the Lord his God, that his eyes may be opened that he may see, and his ears opened that he may hear; For my Spirit is sent forth into the world to enlighten the humble and contrite, and to the condemnation of the ungodly,”

Yeah. It was terrifying. It didn't help that you had to swear "before god, angels, and these witnesses, to never reveal the [covenant you're about to make] outside the temple, at any time, or face the wrath of Almighty God" ...literally before you even knew what covenant you were making. I was a little concerned when I got to the one where they have you literally swear that you would dedicate all of your time, talents, and worldly possessions to "building the kingdom of God". It definitely crossed my mind, "Well... that would have been nice to know before I swore a blood oath to do it."

@Kelleren Just be glad you didn’t have to swear upon your life as I did back in the 70’s...where you made the slashing of the throat and abdomen sign😩. They apparently took that out in 1990, but I left the church because of that!

@@texgirl1122 yeah, I learned about that on my way out. *shudders* .... *SHUDDERS*

Kiera Mallory i thank God the real God when I was Mormon i never got far to God kept me safe for a reason he won’t want me to be in the devil playground amen.🙏

@Kelleren Yes, it was very disturbing. They don’t prepare you and as a result, it came as a great shock. But by then, I felt trapped rather than having a beautiful spiritual experience, I was left feeling bad about myself, like maybe it was because I wasn’t worthy. It wasn’t until years later, talking to other ex mormons, who felt the exact same way, that I realized it was more common...it wasn’t just me.

Aubry Lines: It would be a profound mistake, if you still believe in Heavenly Father (and Heavenly Mother) and the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to assume that due to actions of less than honest individuals in the Church that you are by their deeds excluded from Heaven.

This is how they looked when they got sealed*. I don't know about them, but besides getting sealed in the temple, I had a normal wedding with a normal wedding dress, like everybody else. I used my fancy makeup and jewelry... Everybody in church does that. Except for these two, apparently.

@@allanapereira9779 perhaps theirs wa a temple wedding

K M so Mormons can choose not to do this? It’s not required? and do Mormons that don’t do it just never see the inside of the temple? Or celestial room? Were you allowed to know what went on and all the ‘sacred secrets’? And does that mean you never get a sacred name? I thought u need that in heaven or something. I have so many questions! Please don’t feel like you have to answer any of them.

The LDS church does not teach that your sweet grandmother is not going to heaven. My sweet MOTHER was a Methodist. The LDS Church has the most beautiful concept of heaven than any denomination in the world. Your sweet grandmother will be there.

Stop spreading lies and hate

@@CalledtoShare , the church does indeed promise the "outer darkness" for people who never swallowed the Kool Aid.

Jacquie Fraser Because of this love, it is the nature of the Father to improve everything and everyone to the extent that they will allow. Out of preexisting chaos, matter unorganized, the Father created an orderly universe. Out of preexisting intelligence, he begat spirit children. Even those of his children who will not cooperate and obey, and who cannot therefore become like him, he still saves, if they will allow it, and places them in lesser kingdoms of glory (D&C 76:42-43; see Salvation): "For behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). The love of the Father is not limited to those who worship and obey him, although their rewards will be greatest, but it is extended to all of his children.

Sorry you went through that. Panic attacks were the worst thing about being religious. It's one reason why I left.

@@DarqueDesires Yeah, creepy af! Why did that practise take so long to change? Weren't people creeped out by it in the 1800s? All they did was add the stupid "shield". I read some of the comments on that reddit thread. I'm glad people talked about how it's manipulative to not tell a person what they're covenanting to do prior to going to the temple. I hadn't read anyone write about that before I did in the comment section of this video. It's such an obvious problem for me now. Why didn't I see it sooner? Like, before I went on my mission!?

Find the real Jesus! He's not in the Mormon church.

Thank you for your honesty! I never wanted to admit that I felt uncomfortable in the temple.

Me too! The entire temple thing is just plain weird and creepy!

When you go to all that effort and you think "I've made it!" Then you get there and you're just a saucer eyed summer child standing there with your mouth agape. It's really disheartening. I expected more impressive things... Not a hotel lobby at the end of my long hard fought journey.

Yeah I expected there to be some really intense spiritual messages and teachings they’d share with us. Once I’d been through the whole ceremony, including washing & anointing, I just kept wondering how anyone had ever described it as a “deeply spiritual” experience... like, WTF, are you serious?! Haha

@@strongallalong89 yeah and I grew up in the church and honestly knew very little about the temple. I was so nervous when I went for my endowment because for some reason I was convinced that for the "washing and annointing" part I was going to have to be naked. No one ever told me that I don't know why I thought that but I honestly thought that's what was going to happen. Now I'm in my 30s and a few years back I was watching a Netflix documentary about Freemasonry and although it never said anything about LDS church it was very obvious how Joseph Smith came up with the temple ceremony. I don't really believe any of it anymore but my wife loves it and it makes her happy, same with my family, so I just kinda keep my thoughts about it to myself.

It's funny when you say it like that, i laughed. But i guess the reality isn't super funny.

Perhaps you are completely wrong about the purpose of the name. It's not your holy eternal name in any sense at all! Study the Bible, learn about symbolism and new names in the Bible. God gave people new names all the time. Has nothing to do with what you're called. It has more to do with who you are willing to become. Or at least who you should try to become.

So...when you get forever sealed in temple, and then leave the church, do you automatically break the seal, or is there an uncorking ritual?

@@rontoolsie good question! I wanna know!

@@rontoolsie yup when you leave the church all your covenants and "blessings" get removed from you. but say you are a woman and you divorced your abusive husband and as any sane person you don't want to stay "sealed to him forever" in order to get unsealed to him you have to jump through a lot of loops.

This… exaclty how I felt. But despite that, I have a strong testimony, due to personal relationship I have with Jesus Christ. I know it’s true and I’m ok not understanding the nuances, including the temple, until Christ comes and all confess that he is the Christ and this is his church. It was hard for me, and it was a let down bc I just couldn’t have determined how much anxiety and awkwardness I would feel with in the temple, but despite that, My testimony is that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints is Christ’s church on earth and he is at the helm. I trust him.

If lds is a con job how can it be his church? Jesus's church is earth, the new temple will come down from heaven and replace the one in Jerusalem, as stated in revelations

Are you saying the Church of Jesus Christ is a Cult? RU-vid: "Not Christians?! Why?" also on RU-vid: " Come unto Christ, Alma 30"! compare with " Come Unto Christ, Mosiah 27"! Who is who? Who is following the Gospel of Jesus Christ? And Why? The doctrine of Christ or of Man? Are you like Alma the Younger or like Korihor? Which life do you live and why? It is your Choice! Choices come with consequences or Blessings! Cluty or the Church of Jesus Christ!

@@scottcaley5057 if the BITE model fits…

That's freaky! Sooo abnormal!

OMG, that's straight out of the "secret" Freemasons ceremony!

@@TheKim369 Yep. LDS was born out of the masons.

@@klarag7059 a mormon lady told me some years ago they are advised and or told to always make sure they have a good 3 months of food etc supply in case of anything happens disaster i think . i thought thats a good thing but because of the gr etc someone online said he has food for 3 months . does the lds know something about this and what will happen , i wonder .

I’m pretty sure that’s an oath that the masons take before one of their ceremonies as well

Funny how they’ve removed it now to try not to freak people out. Convenient if you ask me. Honestly, they changed the wording in book of mormon after DNA evidence showed no Native Americans descended from the Middle East. How can people not see that the church just changes stuff to try not to lose members? Like how did that conversation go at the top level: “Hey, we’re losing a lot of members, what should we do?” Prophet guy: “Hmmm, i can’t think of anything… Well maybe the promise of cut my throat and hope to die part? I dunno, can we remove that? Is it Canon?”

hahahahahahaha! That's awesome! :)

@@AN-zz8ps thanks! Thinking about it, it's not too far fetched when you consider the blood oaths they had back in the day.

OMG!! I was a convert in high school. My whole family. The Mormon high school kids taught me how good Mormon girls acted and when I did and I was getting straight A’s in seminary, they started calling ME molly Mormon and Polly pure! 🤣🤣🤣I laugh now but it hurt like hell back then. SOOOOO grateful I got out in college when I began to realize it was complete and utter BS and I mean on a scary scale.

@@pbjsilverstudio4882 wow! Yeah, it's amazing how much brainwashing goes into this cult. I got out when I was about 11. Fortunately, my parents were sane people and we left together. The aunt I mentioned is still a very active member along with her spouse. I also find it so strange that I have other relatives that still identify as LDS, but are not active and still defend the church.

@@AN-zz8ps GI Joe: And knowing is half the battle.

Thankfully we all escaped!

Oh man lol I’ve talked to a guy that works for the emt and he said when they get called to the temple it’s the creepiest thing. Cause everyone hides and they try to hide everything. Crazy and creepy

Horror Movie indeed! At age 19, in the temple in the 1970s, I had to watch my Grandma and all my Aunts and Great Aunts pantomiming their own grisly deaths by making a slitting motion across their abdomen and the other hand in cupping shape to catch the ensuing entrail spillage. That ritual took place in those outfits Lexi shows in this video, all over the church in every temple for a hundred years until modern sensibilities forced them to stop the mock throat slashing stuff in the 1990s. Actually, more like Rocky Horror Picture Show.

@@Lorenzo12257 how did people think this was okay? Was it because they felt the spirit and so anything that happens is what God wants?

@L. S. Jensen I went through the temple at age 18 in 1976 and felt the same revulsion over the throat and abdomen slashing too!! I left the church not long after that. I was horrified by what they taught in the temple and they did nothing to prepare me for this! I remember looking over at my Mother and Grandmother and wondered how these two intelligent women could believe in this!!

@@elliotbressloer2612 Security with weapons!?

@SusanMarcile Watch out Mormons. The Presbys in Florida are locked and loaded, and they are coming for you!

What's a matron

I don't understand why people indulge this religion. I was having a couple missionaries stop by lately, because they asked. It's the same old stuff. Not very appealing. Maybe I will have them come by later when I'm good and drunk.

Check out on RU-vid: "Not Christians?! Why? By Jeff Roundy" also on RU-vid: " Come unto Christ, Alma 30"! compare with " Come Unto Christ, Mosiah 27"! Who is who? Who is following the Gospel of Jesus Christ? And Why? The doctrine of Christ or of Man? is it a lie or truth! Korihor found his calling in life! find out for yourself! Choose wisely! Who's life are you living, Alma or Korihor? Why?

What I’ve notice is that when someone in a marriage begins to question their LDS-ness, their partner soon follows. Either that or they run back to their cult family… in shame.

@@leeartlee915 When I think about most of the people I know who left, you're right - this is the case. One woman left completely because she realized she was gay, got divorced, and now is living proudly out. However, I haven't seen her since high school and don't speak to her on any sort of regular basis, so I'm not sure if her ex is still in or not. I will say it was always curious to me that she was LDS at all (although I understand that "tradition" mixed with family pressure plays a HUGE roll). She was very much a feminist and liberal-minded, highly highly educated (professor at a very well-known, distinguished university in a predominantly male-dominated field), and just generally didn't fit the bill. Now I have a neighbor who is LDS, but her husband and children aren't and never have been. I actually found out I went to high school with her sister and had the opportunity to see her recently when she came to visit. She stated of five children in her family, three have completely cut ties with the church, one barely has their toes dipped in (my neighbor, I think), and the other likely will never leave because of combined fear/indoctrination. Anyway, I'm rambling on your point. Lol! I just find this sort of thing interesting because I was lucky to not grow up with forced religion. I was allowed to go with friends and my parents supported that, but we NEVER went as a family. And at 43, I still don't know what my parents believe. And quite frankly, it's none of my business. Which is why I take issue with evangelicals because they see it as their duty to convert others. Ugh. I wish more kids had the opportunity to decide for themselves what they believe.

@@a.b.5321 Huh, you have some interesting personal examples. I knew a girl who was also very liberal, feminist, and just over all nice person. I could never square away her faith with her values… but then I remembered she was born into the religion. I’ve told my mother many times how grateful I am that she never forced a religion on. Personally, I think I would have rejected it no matter what but it certainly was one less thing I had to struggle through. Fun side note, I use to attend a Baptist Christian Summer camp for years (if you know anything about baptist, they are obnoxiously religious). At first, I attended it because they had really cheap deals for lower income families but as the years went on, I actually enjoyed going. Once I year, I would spar with the counselors about some of the massive contradictions in their holy bible. In many ways, it was my proving grounds for a life dedicated towards logic, reason, and the active resistance to organized religion.

@@leeartlee915 Ha! I went to a baptist summer camp once! Our neighbors were super religious and invited my sister and myself to go. I'm sure my mom was eager to keep us busy, so she agreed to let us attend (we wanted to, we weren't forced). However... they put my sister in a room and wouldn't let her out until she asked Jesus into her heart. *barf* When my mom learned of this, she pulled us immediately. She was cool with us getting exposure to different religions, but she was not cool with that level of indoctrination. I wholeheartedly agree with her choice there! I used to spend the night at my best friends house on a Saturday and go to church with her family on Sunday. Since we were young, we went to Sunday school instead of sitting in the church. Truthfully, I never paid attention. I just liked going because afterward, we got juice and cookies. Lol! That church was very laid back/not forceful (can't remember denomination), so I went with them a lot and my parents never took issue.

@@a.b.5321 Yeah, those baptist can be bastards. They made me clean out the horse stalls for stating some pretty obvious holes in their belief system. “If God is kind, why the fuck did he torture his own son?” “If you are born in a culture that never has heard of Jesus, why would you be punished by going to hell?” That kind of thing. Built character I say.

Through brainwashing and guilt. When I went through the temple I would have had to gotten up in front of about 100 people and walked out. That type of embarrassment is difficult. And then after you go through you’re brainwashed to believe that if you don’t do this cult ritual then you will be cut off from your family for eternity. It’s horrible.

If you need someone outside to be a friend or sibling: here I am and many with me

Kenzee Harmon.What definition of a cult are you using? It seems your definition is a group with a ritual that Kenzee Harmon finds weird. Everything is a cult with that broad of a definition. If you read The Book of Mormon, you will get close to God. If you decide to have faith and continue on the straight and narrow path to God, you will then be prepared to greater things.

@@Hamann9631 Well it is a ritual in which you are asked to devote all you have including your time and future posessions to the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. You are supposed to make these covenants in front of a large group of other people.... while watching a video where satan tells you if you do not live up to every covenant you make you will be in his power, and then forbidden to talk about what happened afterwards outside of the temple.. sounds pretty cultish to me.

That ain't the half of it!!!!!!!

Hells no. I wouldn't be caught dead in my temple clothes again if my life depended on it. They freak me out and cause legit panic every time I out them on.

@@tianamatson I can understand that but exposing it like this takes away its power

I think that's a good idea!

When I was a federal court clerk, there was a young woman who wore the top of the garments over her clothes. She was a summer intern from high school. I am not sure if she knew what she had on or not, but the holier-than-thou Mormons in the clerk's office had a royal fit and they chastised her and made her go home. I don't think she ever came back. I wouldn't have. This is just an example of how they hold these garments holier than a person's utter humiliation.

@@repent6238 how about noooooooo....

They are literal sheep amongst us for sure lol

i think the reason they stay is the fear that they’ll get punished, the promise of greatness in the next life or a combination of the two

@@nemostomp This is true. Being raised Mormon you feel like you are still sinning if you walk away from it even though you don’t believe in any of that bullshit. Indoctrination is truly a horrific thing.

@@nemostomp you also risk losing family, friends, business, everything.

@@klarag7059 thats very sad but its their problem . people cant do things to please others if ones heart is not in what ever it is then there is just no point . if family etc get upset and maybe annoyed then they are at fault because they must know the person would only pretend and not believe .
