INTERVIEWING MORMONS 👀 

It’s literally so funny 🤣

I don't drink and when I go out with my friends who do drink there is like some weird affliction where I tend to get "drunk by association" without even realizing. I didn't notice until a friend pointed out I wasn't even drunk and was still doing dumb stuff lol

Yeah, like their pretend swear words. 🙄

@@sv4996 ya I think it hilarious 🤣

The names that come out of some states in America kill me hahahaha

Clayton has an EP comin' out soon Mississippi Bluegrass

@@GriffinDuyThespian Clayton better leave some soaking for the rest of us or we gonna have to sit him down soon.

@@j.ramsey8863 bahahahahahhahahah facts representing the gnarliest planets too

Clayton was a missionary in my home ward lol cool dude

Clayton Blodgett. Sounds like a Civil War general. Which side, I don't know.

Verrrry true

Some women have skeletons in their closet some have graveyards

She's so right tho

No it’s not! If you go by how our religion really is and not what the culture is, we are taught to pray about what we hear. 🙄

Now corroborate her story. For me, I question the leaders all the time. That's how I come to know what they share is true. One of the things Joseph Smith said is that correct principles are taught and the members govern themselves.

Racist teacher should stay? Cuz he a “leader”?

what? i hope you don’t really think that. as an LDS member, we know that no one is perfect and so we don’t just take everything our leaders say as good

I mean they are mormons and literally dark skin folk are cursed in their cult, so im not sure why she was surprised about it

Damn thats fcked up

Also according to Brigham, intermarrying is cause for death penalty on the spot 😳

Uhhh...since brigham there have been other prophets. Let the past go and listen to what we need to do today...not 1850!

@@veronicaguyader9997 nope 👎 u support a racist

@@veronicaguyader9997except that’s what the faith they prescribe to was based on…you can’t just pick and choose when it’s inconvenient…that’s the problem with religious people.

Close enough

@@MapleBar777😂 right? Same thing.

I audibly laughed at this

Is that what she was referring to? Goodness. People make mountains out of molehills.

He didn’t say anything racist people took it out of context

I think she's talking about a talk from Elder Holland

​@@BranTheArmenian2Elder Holland never said anything racist. She made the claim that a church leader made racist comments, so now she needs to substantiate her claim. I'm not going to speculate who she was talking about. It's her job to give the facts and if she doesn't, then the issue lies with her and not the church leader.

It could have been Brigham Young or any church leader up to 1978. Probably not a current church leader.

Do you expect her to call out names when she hasn’t finished her degree yet there? Byu is famous for booting students that fall out of line with the norm and making it hard for them to transfer credits once they’re out

@@virginianielsen3480 if by falling out of line you mean violating the honor code they explicitly agree to follow in order to go there then you are correct! BYU does in fact expect you to keep to the agreement you made when you signed up.

@@Lazerbadger2 speaking up about your beliefs- if they happen to change and contradict what general authorities say- can count as apostasy and get you kicked out as well. Not as common but is very shady. And while I believe it’s very shady to monitor young adults s*x lives, that’s not what I’m talking about at the moment :)

@@virginianielsen3480 as far as I’m aware, speaking against what a general Authority says is not part of the honor code. Living the standards of the church, however is part of the honor code. Everyone is asked to live it, member or member alike. Also 85% of the tuition is subsidized by the church so I don’t think that’s unreasonable to ask. additionally they don’t monitor people’s s*x lives. But if someone knows that you’re doing something against the honor code, they can report you. There’s no secret police, however, they simply expect you to keep the standards that you agree to of your own free will. :)

@@Lazerbadger2 I haven’t met one person who went to byu or BYUI that doesn’t personally know someone who’s been reported and kicked out or disciplined because they encourage snitching. I personally know two who were caught by other people and reported and kicked out, which is the same thing as having their s lives monitored. Creepy.

You give me hope in the world. Everyone usually just gets mad at us LDS members. Even though we didn’t do anything.

​@@peachymango4972bc you're in a cult my dude. How's your holy underwear doing?? Which planet are you going to when you die?? Joseph Smith was a liar and a creep.

@@peachymango4972Your church fought against civil rights, the ERA, lgbtq rights to marry, etc. You guys also vote very conservatively, which harms us all economically. So no, you’re not innocent.

Their followers are nice until you do something their cult doesn’t agree with.

Dude, growing up in Utah as a Non Mormon is one of the most painful things ever

@@Onlyspaceman I can only imagine. Growing up Mormon and not believing is strange to say the least. Felt good getting out but sucked losing family and friends.

@@gregpayton6935 yeah that must've been rough. I was a Catholic, and we were taught that we are all sinners, but its okay, because we can get forgiveness. The LDS church seems to be more about perfectionism, where they all want to be like Jesus so they can reach the celestial kingdom or whatever. It just doesn't make sense to me. I wish you happiness, and the ability to enjoy coffee and wine

@@Onlyspaceman thanks man, you as well. Organized religious brings out some strange things in people. I've had my coffee, about to have my beer! Cheers brotha, glad you survived the morodor.

@@Onlyspaceman Ya imagine trying to be like Jesus. What a horrible idea.

Like all over the world lol

She might not have them yet

@@ryderchristensen303 I thought a college student would be wearing garments if she was Mormon

@@Timeismoooney I don’t think you get them until you have made sacred covenants. It’s something in our church you do when ur an adult

Mormons don't get their garments until the go through the endowment ceremony in the temple. This is normally only done when they are either going on a mission or getting married.

@@matthewpruner2810 sorry I didn’t know

That is so inspiring!

Imagine a white woman telling people who experience racism, what is or isn’t racist. The Mormon religion teaches that brown skin is a punishment from God.

How do you define racist?

100% agree , "racist" is thrown around everything these days

Is that coming from a yt person?

I think she’s referring to Brad Wilcox’s talk.

You are a real genuine caring person. Thanks. Had some mormons try convert me, I will take this comment as a sign to not go to their church. I am glad I was able to stop seeing it as a legitimate branch of christianity and now see it for the cult that it is like scientology

i am growing up in a mormon family i am a teenager and i don’t know how any of the book of mormon is true. you are so right about this. all of my family is crazy and does insane things because of church. my whole like revolves around these stupid rules and i’m sick of it

@@msmittens2229 get out of there, DO NOT look back

@@msmittens2229 If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to not give up on Christianity just because mormonism got it wrong. The Bible is true, Jesus Christ is our savior. Joseph Smith is not a prophet and this isn’t a matter of opinion. The Bible clearly tells us how to tell if someone is a real prophet, and Joseph Smith failed the test multiple times. If you do leave the church, please do your research and explain the theological issues of the church to your family so that some of them might see the truth. Good luck and God bless you to the highest degree. Amen.

@@enriquesuarez7113 Definitely do not become mormon. In fact, you should research the teachings and doctrine of the LDS church and see how contradictory it is to the truth of the Bible. It is so easily proven false. The LDS church is absolutely evil because they corrupt the image of Jesus to seem more mainstream than they actually are. It’s despicable. God bless and protect you to the highest degree.

Are you really asking or are you being sarcastic? We all came from the same place. No matter what color or race you are. I guess I don't understand the reason for the question. Hope that helps🤷🏽‍♀️

@liciewhiteley7376 I thought it had to do with a curse. I always ask the mormons who knock on my front door, but they never affirm or deny my understanding. Always pleading the 5th, metaphorically.

@liciewhiteley7376 Also, from BYUs own website, less than 1% of the demographic is African American. They didn't give an exact number. It literally said " African American < 1%". I'm guessing those would be the football players?

@@Kramer-tt32 ahhh! No curse. Don't quote me but I believe in the King James bible in one of the books it's discussed that the unrighteous will have darkened skin. In the end the dark skin people are the righteous and light skin people were the unrighteous. That's usually what people are getting at. But it's not taken literally. As everything in the Bible it represents a deeper meaning. I use if sins had a smell to it, what smell would you be. There was a time when the LDS Church opened certain church rights to black people. Now it's open to anyone and everyone. I struggle with why and how they got excluded to begin with. I've been told various things over the years but none of them put my mind at ease. I do find comfort that those exclusions have been corrected. And I can smell like a judgey person who wants to know whose bright idea it was to give permission based on a person's color.

@@liciewhiteley7376 yea. But what does the book or mormon say.

Take your meds.

Brad Wilcox February 2022. Just Google Brad Wilcox racism and you’ll see a couple different things he’s repeatedly said over his career that are pretty messed up.

Turn to the *true* Christ and God bless ✝️❤️ *The Validity Of Joseph Smith As A Prophet* The way Christians can determine who is a prophet of God is through 2 teachings that a can be found in the Book of Deuteronomy. ”If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.“‭‭ - *Deuteronomy‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬* ”And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.“ -‭‭*Deuteronomy‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬* These tests essentially state that if a self-proclaimed prophet leads you astray from Yahweh and biblical teachings and/or they make prophecies that do not come to pass, they are not a prophet nor a child of God. It goes as far to say that they should be put to death during that time. “We will never get a man into space. This earth is man’s sphere and it was never intended that he should get away from it.” - Joseph Fielding Smith In 1892 an article appeared in the “Young Women’s Journal” (an official church magazine) Vol. 3 pp. 263, 264. It’s author, Oliver B. Huntington wrote: “Nearly all the great discoveries of men in the last half century have, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly, contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a Prophet. As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as the earth, and that they lived to a greater age than we do - that they lived generally to near the age of one-thousand years. He described the men as averaging near six feet in height and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style.” Oliver goes on to say, “In my Patriarchal blessing, given by the father of Joseph the Prophet, in Kirtland, 1837, I was told that I would preach the gospel to the inhabitants upon the islands of the sea, and - to the inhabitants of the moon, even the planet you can now behold with your eyes.” Then we have this statement by Brigham Young that he preached over the pulpit as a prophet of God: “Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon? When we view its face, we may see what is termed ‘the man in the moon,’ and what some philosophers declare are the shadows of mountains. But these sayings are very vague, amount to nothing; and when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fellows. So, it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain.” Mormons will say, well, these are only opinions. But if you read those quotes in full context, you can see they are not just opinions. Brigham and others used it to teach principles of the Mormon gospel.

If your church is true, then research cannot harm it. Please, please read the CES Letter. I love you as a fellow human, but it is my duty as a Christian to let you know that the book of Mormon is absolutely provably false. Go out and research the book of mormon against what the Bible says. The book of mormon teaches an entirely different God and Jesus than what the Bible states authoritatively. I love you, this isn’t meant to insult you, but you are being led astray and it hurts my soul. I’m an ex-member, raised in the church. I know how you feel. Your whole life is centered around this church. To leave the church would be to leave your life, but this isn’t true. It would be starting a whole new life based in the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. It would be setting yourself free from one of the greatest achievements of Satan, the mormon church. The LDS church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Scientology are all horrible establishments that are direct enemies of salvation. I pray that God allows you to see. Amen.

How do you define racist?

@@dejesusrussell A person who hates another race. How do you define a racist?

“Maybe instead of asking why the Blacks had to wait until 1978 to get the priesthood, we should be asking why did the whites and other races have to wait until 1829.” Brad Wilcox, who I'm almost sure she was talking about, said this in a public talk to a congregation. Mormons that are black weren't allowed to get the priesthood or go through their temples, both of which they believe are essential for eternal salvation, until 1978, because Mormon doctrine taught for a long time that black people were cursed by god.

@Mattj93 I would agree with you. I would also include that racism exists whether or not it was intended. I think she was absolutely referring to that quote by Brad Wilcox. I don't believe that he intended it to be hurtful, but it was. He has since apologized, which is something I wish our leaders did more. I also wish both active members and staunch enemies of the Church didn't expect so much of Church leaders. They are imperfect and a product of their times. The Church has a history of racist teachings and I expected nothing less from someone who did not have the lived experiences of Black people. But I also believe that he can grow and change. Recently, a lot of good people seem to be leaving because they aren't given room to disagree. There seems to be this attitude of "Well, they weren't strong enough to stay and the Lord has weeded them out." I hope the Church membership becomes more welcoming to all races, genders, and abilities.

@@dejesusrussell sorry not sorry, but I'd expect a bit more than blatant racism from someone that claims to be God's mouthpiece. The church should have been at the very front of the Civil Rights movement, instead of Benson calling it a "communist plot". Christ's church should have been at the forefront of fighting against slavery, and there's no argument that can convince me it's ok or can be brushed aside, because saying they're a product of their time completely negates all the people of that same time that WERE fighting against it. I'd think Jesus' chosen witnesses would be the most loving and accepting of all people, instead of only lifting the priesthood/temple ban when BYU was threatened with losing status.

Half the people at BYU aren't Mormon, I've met people from there of all religions

​@@cortney2768 I thought that was a requirement to even apply (?)

​@@Josh.WDW.nope just got to live by the honor code. I lived on campus but didn't go to school there and housing had tons of rules so premarital sex wouldn't happen.

Brigham Young University

@@HalfInsaneJane oh. Lol.. why?

@HalfInsaneJane didn't this Brigham Young character have like 80 wives? 😅😅😅

Go back to Europe before you ask such questions.

When a prophet speaks from the pulpit to address the church as a whole, it’s the words of the lord and is treated as scripture. Why else have a prophet? If it turned out to be problematic a couple hundred years later, he was just speaking as a man and it’s not really doctrine. One must wonder what will be “just a man speaking” in the next 200 years.

All religious writing is just fiction - often really poor fiction 😂😂😂😂

I appreciate the receipts as someone who may be leaving the church, but unfortunately in the LDS church we are taught to rely on how we feel to discern truth from deception. We are taught that negative feelings come from Satan so when someone deconstructs or contradicts what we are told and hold dear we will not listen because it feels icky. The unfortunanteness of this learned behavior is a lot of times the truth when we are in the wrong is very very uncomfortable and icky. The best you can do to help a member see truth is share about the true character of Jesus. For me that's what is making me want to leave the church because "we shall know them by their fruits" and the churches fruits aren't always and rarely are very enticing. Hope this helps ya.

Not really.... I lived on campus, it is true that those of African descent are typically a minority though.

The black ones get to soak with all the snow bunnies

It's actually allowed now they changed the handbook a few years ago

@@HalfInsaneJane oh okay that makes sense, I've been out for a while.

I recommend y’all to stop using reddit. It’s terrible social media.

@@Raspberries9372 better than twitter

@@Raspberries9372yeah honestly it’s full of hate

@@Raspberries9372Fax. One of the best decision’s in my life was when I got off of Reddit. All that app is is degenerates battling for top comment absolute no useful information there. Also it’s mad left wing so screw off dood.

​@@Raspberries9372 hahaha you must have gotten triggered into a frenzy 😂😂😂 Everybody knows reddit community is king when it comes to creativity. Go back to garbage meta

What’s with all the BYU posters/flags in the background?

She can wear whatever she wants it's her body

​@@Lily.Potter If I am correct at BYU you are supposed to wear clothing that is appropriate.

​@@Lily.Potter not at BYU lol

No she can't, we have standards​@@Lily.Potter

Yes, I was surprised with how revealing that is. I wouldn't be allowed to wear that.

​​@CyberMan4858A possibly ex member here, haven't decided yet, so the churches behavior is I think two points shy of a cult. Does the group leader have unquestionable authority over the members? Yes Are members discouraged from questioning decisions made by leaders? Yes Is there a significant level of control over aspects of members' personal lives (such as living arrangements, friendships, and dietary choices)?Yes Does the group isolate members from family, friends, and the broader society? Sorta Is leaving the group discouraged, with negative consequences described or implied? Yes Does the group have a polarized us-vs-them mentality, which may include seeing outsiders as lesser or wrong? Sorta Are members expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to group activities and recruiting new members?Yes Does the group use public humiliation or intense emotional manipulation to manage members? Yes Is there a lack of financial transparency regarding how funds are spent by the leadership? Yes Are doubts or dissent within the group handled by attributing these to personal failings or lack of faith? Yes

@@HalfInsaneJaneLook up Apologia Studios

You clearly don’t know the definition of a cult😂

I guess the Catholic Church is a cult too?😂

I'm possibly exmormon haven't decided yet. There are a lot of exmos that are sharing tons of truth but it's naive to say that all of them are liers and all current Mormons only tell the truth. The church has done some horrible things and I think it's time to stop hiding and own it which to some extent they are with the Joseph Smith papers being available. They used to excommunicated people for sharing what the church is now openly sharing. There's a lot of nuance to the situation and your comment was not very Christlike.

Thank you for being one of the few non members who talks good about my church. You are a genuinely good person.

​@@RoyalXFashso you're LDS to?

@@HarryPotter_Lover71 yah

But I respect all religions and learn about different cultures around the world

@@RoyalXFash same it just kills me when people talk about how our church is racist when it isn't
