I feel the purpose of the ads are not some much as ads but just a way to share and inspire people to be better to be the best they can be. I love them. They all seem uplifting and enhance a desire to be better and learn and improve.
With all my due respect, I have to admit that this is the kind of woman I've always been looking for. This is the kind of family life I've always wished to lead. That guy is really lucky and, of course, blessed from up above. My best regards, Sarah, all the way from Brazil. God bless!
It's fun to hear an Aussie Talk............I've lived in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne for about 10 years of my life....... I love the Australian People and how Everyone is your mate.
i am not a mormon..i have lost my way in life i am unhappy and this person made me smile and cry at the same time. She is a happy person with a lovely family....i lost mine so god and her faith has shined down on her
Marc G. I just want you to know you are not forgotten nor alone. The Lord Jesus Christ wants to be your everything: the Lover of your soul, Redeemer, Sanctified, Healer, and Coming King. I am not a Mormon either but I became a receiver of Christ's sacrificial Love that He offers as His love, obedience to the will of the Heavenly Father, and the Greatest Gift and invitation into the largest family on earth, the Family of God. Just receive Him as your Lord and Savior, turn your life over to Him, and watch your life become filled with peace, joy, contentment and also good friends as you have read in the lives of these people. I will keep you in my prayers that you will find your God ordained place and purpose in life. Blessings and Love in the name of Jesus!!
I think these video's are a great way to show diversity in our culture and how we can't generalise based on how a persons look. The only critisism I have is that, as a person who is not Mormon, I would like to see in these ads how the religion influences their life. Did her religion enable her to see why she needed to spend more time with her family? etc. Whilst I would not change my faith, I would be interested to see the values of the Mormon religion through these ads.
I can only pray for those with negative responses to this video, it was enjoyable. For those who find themselves on this video, maybe you should visit a Mormon church. I am not a Mormon but I am a christian. I pray for true peace in everyone lives! I hope i meet more people like this.
I may not agree with the idea of all women having to be stay at home moms, but this is a choice freely made, not coerced. I am not a Mormon, but have known a few, good, kind, honest, very human people who happen to love God in this way. I may not agree with their particular faith, but the fruit of lovingkindness is at least in those I have known.
@demo2382 She says "i've never been happier. It's the most rewarding thing I've done". Sounds like she loves her kid more than her job. What I get from the video is that it's important to spend time with your family. Thanks Mormons :)
@FashionLove30 One thing that is indisputable is that there will always be opposition in all things. To some our faith may come as an attack on their own faith, or it may be that they are against all religions, many times people fear or dislike things they do not know or understand. As people learn about mormonism they will-hopefully like you-see that there is no reason to be "against" the LDS faith. These ads and all our efforts like these are nothing more than an invitation to learn more
I'm not mormon, but the org is trying to get across the idea that mormons are the same strong willed characters as any other religion, and plus there's crazy rumours around mormonism that aren't true. I guess they're (the videos that is) just really nice and true stories about real people. :) Did that answer it?
This video shows that there are some surprising people in some surprising places that are mormon. Just like with any other group, you can't generalize every mormon, but you can see that we are not some weird, backwards sect. To find out about our beliefs, check out mormon dot org!
@IrishDancerMoni I think the reason for the add is to get people like you to inquire exactly that. We as "mormons" cannot explain all in a small clip but hopefully we can spark an interest on someone like you to ask to know more. I am sure this lady as would any faithful latter-day saint would love to share with you exactly how our religion influences our lives and why we are so focused in family both our present family and our ancestors.

I am a country lad, and a tru blu Aussie many generations born to Oz; who now lives and work in the City. I have been with my husband for over 20 years, yet this American organisation interferes in our politics to prevent me from having equity in Australia. I meet lots of different people from many different walks of life and I am an ex Mormon who excommunicated myself, and I'm very happy. What that Mormon smile hid's .
have a few mormon friends there very grounded in there what they believe and are wholesome nice people..its not for me im a evangelical christian and they have tried to convince me of there mormon faith but its not for me..but each to there own
@FashionLove30 It's been like that for a while. Most athesits or agnostics I've met are really nice about it and just have the attitude of live and let live. It's odd to me that most negitive come from churches. But as I've gotten older I've learned to just smile and remember that God loves them too. If I'm comfortable in my beliefs, it doesn't really matter what the world thinks!
@airsoftplaya3 I can understand why you may feel like making a commercial about it would maybe put off some people--including you. This is one way we as faith try to fulfill our responsibility to preach the gospel as Jesus ask all his disciples to do. All we attempt to do by airing these ads is show people that "mormons" are not crazy or weird people--hopefully we are different but in a way that makes people see we are trying to be more like Christ.
@windigo77 This and other Mormon.org videos are provided to give a glimpse into the lives of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (i.e. "mormons"), of who we are and how we live. Given the untruths and false perceptions about our religion, many people unfortunately have incorrect ideas of what members of this church are like. So these videos help people understand first hand what our lives are like. We are normal, fun loving people that seek out all that is good in life. :)
Everyone looks great and healthy, has enough money, fine teeth, enjoys great jobs (and has the money and environment and freedom to just quit those if they wish), has fantastic hobbies, great friends etc.. Don't get me wrong, this is all great and well and I am happy for those people (if it's a real story). But this is the way everyone presents himself or herself on social media, right? It's somehow part of the problem. Just don't fall into the trap of believing this is "all because of Christ or God or anyone". Because: Jesus' followers weren't always leading that shiny lives. Oftentimes, they were just the opposite: poor fishermen for example. Maybe not looking like a beautiful bright morning most of the time. Maybe a bit stinky. I hope I don't offend anyone. I just don't see how this relates to anything at all.
@tanner029 I think the main reason it's been removed from society, it because of all the wars that it's sparked, and the laws which are based upon opinions, and beliefs. (though everything is a belief to a degree.) I can't recall any wars relating to Mormons though. Don't know enough about the religion, I made my own religion, I am god.
I'm just wondering but do they really need videos to prove they are normal people? To be honest, I don't really care what religion a person is and neither does the majority of society.
