ExMormon Interview: Inside Scoop on LDS Life - Part 3 

Thanks Jessie! And thank you to everyone who has sent me so much love and support on this channel and on my own! I really appreciate it all so much!!!! It is not easy putting this all out there but it is worth it what an impact it can have. Thank you all for the support!!!

Her admission of the mental gymnastics she went through regarding the wackiness of the Book Of Mormon and the seer stones was refreshingly honest and super endearing. I heart ex-Morgan sooooooooooooooooooooo much!

Thanks Morgan. You are so clear in explaining your experiences.

“...A blonde and brunette talkin’ Mormonism for the better part of an hour?....lightning in a bottle....Pinch me... I must be on Kolob ...” ;> Love the Ex-Morgan.... gem quality Thanks to both of you for doing this continued series

i loved this video. i love your guest Morgans strength in pursuing true,standing by her husband even though the churches doctrinal advice to divorce on grounds for apostasy,and for leaving the mormon church. i like that her husband was the first to pursue truth.The thing that satan the father of lies dislikes most is truth

Thank you for sharing your story! I wish I had your courage to leave the LDS church early in life.

This girl is so awesome! I’m so thankful that she was freed from Mormonism!

Loved these interviews!

I've really enjoyed this series and hope to see more interviews and collabs between the two channels!

You guys are the best 😍

Take it from someone who was a single woman in the church the whole time i was there - IT SUCKED! You do feel like a second class citizen. Although I decided that I would be happy to be an angel for the rest of eternity. But on this earth it sucks. I questioned my own worth constantly - what was so wrong with me that no guy would want "this" for eternity? What is so great about "her" that she gets a guy and I don't!??! (BTW i'm not perfect and I know that but I am pretty great, even by LDS standards! :D!) I would go through the list of things that I "did" and even who I was, that I was a great person and I had a lot of love to give..but I always thought there was something wrong with me and that I was not worthy for some reason but could never figure it out. I felt punished. Oh it made me feel like crap.

I just love you both.

One time I went to a Mormon baptism because the sisters invited me (they were reaching out to me), and after the guy was baptized, a woman came up to the stand, she was going to give a talk about how he would receive the Holy Ghost on Sunday. And before she quoted some scripture from the D&C she said to the new convert, "I'm guessing the elders haven't told you about the Doctrine and Covenants yet have they?" And he said, "No." And I'm like what?!? That is soooo much extra scripture that would've been important for that guy to know about before converting!

To those Mormons who claim the Trinity is not in the Bible ... how about: 1 John 5: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

I actually went to sacrament meetings with my friend years ago, and Jesus was never a thing. To me that made the church a non church.

The question about those who were never married but make it to the Celestial Kingdom and what happens to them; those individuals become servants to those who are married. This was a domino in my getting out. I am not married nor have ever been, at 35 I asked my father about this and he said I’d be an angel and have an opportunity to marry later. I told him, but I’d still be a servant which is basically a slave. I will NOT be some Celestial Servant, what’s the point of getting to that level if you hadn’t your Free Agency, essentially? I’d rather be in the Telestial Kingdom and have my own agency.

We do testify to the knowledge of our modern day prophet.That he's the mouth piece of our father

As an a former Mormon, we talked alot more about Jesus than the Prophets, but I agree that we knew more about Joseph Smith than other prophet teachings.

It's extremely difficult on single people in the Church. So much is tied to being married....and to be childless in the LDS Church is weird, too.

I'm afraid that one day my husband will come home and say he wants the divorce because since I'm not a lds member I might take him away from the truth they believe and its weird because they promote family .

Any church who discourages individuals from asking questions and thinking about their beliefs probably can't be trusted. Please question this church and it's many odd beliefs and practices. The origin is suspect which makes one think it is false. Mormons may be respectful etc. But that does not make their beliefs true. Their is so much research on their prophets, the way the book was found, the native American story,polygamy, becoming a God, Temple ceremonies.... so much. Please please read the Bible to find the real Jesus...

I watch your channel all the time about Mormons. My husband ended up committing suicide because of that church.

Christians and Gossip Gossip is basically talking about someone in a negative way that could lead to others doing the same. It is often intentional and meant to damage someone's credibility or reputation or simply to point out the faults (or sins) of others.

D&C 132 still says the practice of polygamy is necessary to enter into the kingdom of God. If that is no longer true, how come it's still there?

I was a Roman Catholic Christian and taught Catechism to public school children. When I left the Catholic religion and became a Mormon because of what the missionaries. My first red flag was when I learned that Jesus and Lucifer were spirit brothers.

Enjoying this series so much!! Can you do a video on Mormon weddings? I am just curious because I have heard so many interesting things about them.

Thanks for that, Your channel has been very informative and enjoyable to watch.👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Single women, and also women whose husband was not lds,get sealed to a "worthy" husband in the afterlife.Maybe they get to be somebody's 50th wife.Whoopee!!

When I was eight and was doing my baptism interview.. I asked how they knew Joseph smith wrote that because my mom told me he had a 3rd grade education. They said you have a 3rd grade education and you can read and understand this. So could he.

I find the comment about the eternal sealing interesting. I wonder how the good brothers/husbands were doing when Joseph Smith was sealed to their wives. Then they could not go to the heavenly exaltation because they had no temple sealing. Only one man can be sealed to a woman. They will therefore have to be sealed in the after life to an other woman otherwise they cannot go to the exaltation. Interesting and something to think about (for Mormons. Not for ex-mormons ofcourse:). Good talk Jessie and Morgan.👍

I grew up in a highly Mormon area in Idaho(95% were) and I remember the kids I went to high school being adament that they were NOT Christian. Now Mormons insist they ARE Christian. Do you know anything about this? I went to high school in the 80s. I've asked this before on RU-vid and a guy told me I was just flat out wrong. But that IS what I remember.

I always thought Heavenly Mother wasn’t mentioned because Heavenly Father’s a polygamist. How many a Heavenly Mother’s are there?

“ I felt like I couldn’t talk to him about my spiritual experiences cause he’d satan all over them’ 🤣🤣 I’m dying laughing but I totally get it though

I was raised by two strong women, mother and grandma. My siblings and I turned out just fine. Maybe that's why I discount the patriarchal male privilege built into my cultural religion. The priesthood is just a concept based on obsolete ideas about male superiority. It's simply culturally based on an old book of bronze-age mythology.

The worst is "If You Could Hie To Kolob". The weirdest hymn I've ever heard. It is all about a strive to human perfection / godhood. It has a beautiful melody though...actually called Kingsfold. And the Christian Hymn that uses this same melody is called "I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say" But the melody has been used in secular music too. The melody dates back to the middle ages and has been used for several English and Irish folk songs.

I heard the same explanation about heavenly mother.

I'd like to bear my testimony I know that Nathan was a true prophet..... 😉 ... That would raise eye browes and be fun to go through the list of old and new testament prophets ....

43:49 This brings up the question of the doctrine of doing ordinances by proxy in the temples (baptism for the dead by proxy and sealings by proxy for already married couples, sealings to parents) however, Mormons DON’T seal single sisters (who are deceased) to random men. So if they’re going to be sealed to someone in the next life, Mormons believe that has to be done in a temple. So how does that even happen?

My family were one of the original founders of the LDS church but for whatever reason my family was treated as just side note family we aren’t even mentioned in any church stories plus the church does things I don’t agree with they have a quote thing they call the judgement were you go into a room filled with leaders who are the top brass who are like a group of judges who pass judgment on you plus bishops are allowed to call children into there office to ask them if they are having sex and they tell kids they must be completely open and honest with the bishop and if you ever say you’ve masturbated they won’t allow you to be apart of quote special church stuff

Love Morgan and have also been enjoying your videos since the beginning, though I believe I’ve only commented on a video once before now. I was just curious about a certain topic that wasn’t touched on much aside from the Mormon perspective. I know a lot more Christians in America have become way more accepting to members of the lgbtq community... even allowing them to get married in churches now. I also understand that many Baptist communities might have slightly differing doctrinal standpoints. My question is still this though. How do most Baptist’s feel about same sex relationships/marriages? If anyone happens to know or could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

To understand kolab watch bag the newer version.

all you have to do jessie, is promote the truth. which is a simple thing. the truth plain and simple will do much good. but let's add one thing. the blood of jesus and the truth plain and simple will get you farther in life than the simple truth. Would you be free from the burden of sin? There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood; Would you o’er evil a victory win? There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood. i know some mormons will read this post. that's why i refer to the blood of jesus. over many centuries thousands upon thousands of sheep were killed in the temple. now we have jesus who died once for all. his blood now covers all sin. mormons deny the power of the blood and they will not come to jesus through faith. think about it.

Everyone should read ‘Under The Banner of Heaven’ by Jon Krakauer about Mormon fundamentalism and its history-This is the side B of Mormon history outside of the LDS Church. Splinter groups disavowed by the LDS Church, but coming from the early Church, and out of the same false prophetic tradition and theology unleashed upon the Earth by Joseph Smith

Oh my goddess!!!

I always found it strange to see within a lot of mormon homes beautiful paintings about jesus but litterly non of joseph smith. Can anyone give me clarity on that one? Why hang the one prophet on the wall but not the other one?

3:28 - To he fair, the Jews during Christ's time talked more about Abraham and Moses than say, Jonah.

The d&c is now day revelations

Gary Gilmore...blood atonement. The world was focused on Utah as they put Gilmore to death by firing squad.1977 he was a Mormon who demanded and believed in shedding his own blood for his sins.

We sing about joseph smith, we sing about our good works, we would sing about the pioneers. Lol all kinds of stuff.

The Mormons have long since cooped Christian tenets... Belief in the triune God, God the Father, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the word of God The death, descent into hell, resurrection and ascension of Christ. The holiness of the Church and the communion of saints. Christ's second coming, the Day of Judgement and salvation of the faithful (not their works). and now twisting what is "Truth" ... Just because the Book of Mormon is a book of fiction (acknowledged even within the cult) doesn't mean anything because its good for you?

Kolob is the closest star to the planet where God resides...like Sol is the closest to us. It's not super clear growing up though...the Seer stone/translating situation I was lied to about it.

Just so you know...Mormonism doesn't teach that you have to get a temple marriage to get into the celestial kingdom. It teaches that to receive "exaltation" and the highest degree of glory you have to receive the "new and everlasting covenant of marriage," which includes a temple sealing or "marriage." I forgot to add-Here's the info: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/kingdoms-of-glory?lang=eng&_r=1

This makes me so sad. You are both obviously smart enough to question your religion. Please keep going. Just read the bible cover to cover.

When I first started viewing this channel, I thought that Jesse was a former Mormon. Now I'm hearing her refer to "the Mormons" as though she wasn't part of the LDS church. So, for clarity, is Jesse an exMormon ?

Salamander

13:28 and the "red flag" feels >exactly< like the ride in the mine carts in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! Judas Priest ! Aren't you glad you only have to do that once?

The book of mormon hasnt been tampered with.Also they came about in different ways.First the old testament writing and new testament writings were compiled together by king James and he says in the preface that he put them together and that things are missing.The book of jasper is one.The plates were all together and complete when he found them

I wonder if Christ came to the Jews and told them what they are doing is right! Would they have killed him?

Mormon women who do not marry "in this life" will be "provided" with husbands to make spirit babies for "in the next life" So, in effect the cult tells females they are incomplete as they are, get desperate so it make no difference who you marry just the male can take you to the temple to have babies for his kingdom, and a female's value lies in marriage and pro-creation! Their lives don’t really begin until they get married, and that everything else, including school, work, and faith, is preparatory. That their divinely ordained, primary-even sole-purpose for being on this earth is to bear and raise children. They shouldn’t worry about not finding a spouse now because they will be married in the afterlife! (As Ardis Parshall wryly put it, however well-intentioned that particular comment may be, it’s basically telling the single Latter-day Saint, “We have nothing for you here. You’re better off dead.”) That they’re single because they’re too selfish or picky. (If the stark demographic of 150 single women for every 100 single men doesn’t communicate the utter fallacy of the “selfish/picky” argument, I don’t think anything ever will.)

Drinking? Cheating on you? .... That would have been so not ok..... Unless an angel with a sword threatened to kill him.... In which case Morgan would have needed to be ok with it, or God would have no choice but to destroy her....aside from those exceptions tho....

Do you know the universe and everything out there?The place your talking about is the center of the universe you cant disprove it you can only talk.

Definitely more of an emphasis on Jesus then Joseph in LDS life. However, we learn that Joseph is the greatest prophet ever and that he was basically perfect. It’s gross. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

There's not much writing at all about women in any scriptures.

Title: "I'm a born-again Christian who likes to critique other Christian sects that don't fall in line with my doctrine". The CES letter is authored by disgruntled Mormons who have an axe to grind. It comprises unreliable (unverifiable) third party source material, which purposefully portrays Mormon teachings out of context. Mormons, who feel guilty about wanting to renege on their moral commitments, use the CES Letter as a rationale to leave the church, because in reality they've adopted a “worldly-overview”, and the distortion of the CES allows them to “sin” without actually owning their decisions - if they can blame the church. Cognizant dissonance is patently sanctimonious, but that is the disingenuous world we live in. John Dehlin’s immature behavior sets the tone for his kabuki theatre, where departing Mormons lament over the grief of losing their close knit community, while framing their new morality as freedom from the cult. He became a Mormon critic after adopting feminist concepts that encourage an acceptance of sex outside of marriage and homo-sexuality, which by any constraint mocks the Christian Bible teachings and embodies the Anti-Christ, Anti-Family challenge of our time. Dehlin portrayed his disdain for Bible teachings through a doctrine of criticizing the leadership for not allowing women and the LBGTQ members to hold key administration and teaching positions in the church. When Dehlin was unceremoniously excommunicated for his condemnation of the Churches’ refusal to adopt his secular reforms, he became yet another enemy of Mormonism in its righteous endeavor to restore the family culture.

Completely demonic stuff. Ex-Mormon here

More spin and half truths.The d&c is always used the pearl of great price goes deep into subjects

Taking the Lord's name in vain has nothing to do with using the name of God as an exclamation point, It means speaking lies in the name of God.

I am sad that you believe that the Book of Mormon is the same as the teachings of the lds church... they are as opposite as they can be.... smh

Jessie, you have no credibility. The CES letter is authored by disgruntled Mormons who have an axe to grind.

Cognizant dissonance is patently sanctimonious, but that is the disingenuous world we live in. John Dehlin’s immutable behavior sets the tone for his kabuki play, where departing Mormons lament over the grief of losing their close knit community while framing their morality cult as freedom from the a high demand church. He became a Mormon critic after adopting feminist concepts that encourage an acceptance of sex outside of marriage and homo-sexuality, which by any constraint mocks the Christian Bible teachings and embodies the Anti-Christ, Anti-Family challenge of our time. Dehlin portrayed his disdain for Bible teachings by criticizing the leadership for not allowing women and the LGBTQ members to hold key administration and teaching positions in the church. When Dehlin was unceremoniously excommunicated for his condemnation of the Churches’ refusal to adopt his secular reforms, he became yet another enemy of Mormonism in its righteous endeavor to restore the family culture.

37:00 Yes, he was arrested. But he was also exonerated. I guess no one cares about that part in the current #MeToo era. It's all about the accusation.

This is sooooo ridiculous and petty over things you don’t honestly have answers to--only God really knows. Get over it girls
