I have to say that I really value Stacey’s personality and character in this series. She can go to a convent, a country manor, a Mormon family and always finds some common ground. It also looks like anyone, no matter where or who they are, warms to her. She has a very inquisitive and non-judgmental personality with an engaging sense of humour. Considering how insecure and tongue-tied I get when I meet new people, even if they’re from a very similar social circle, I do admire that.

I live in the US and while I don’t agree with all of the LDS’s theology, the PEOPLE of the Church of Latter Day Saints have supported and loved me my entire life. When the young people come knocking, I always invite them in for a drink and whatever I recently baked. They’re lovely, mature, sincere souls and it is the least I can do to offer a break and a kind word. I’ve never met an LDS member who didn’t choose their own path, I’ve met quite a few who left voluntarily and found another way.

I have experienced same. Or it is especially hard when the missionaries come from completely different socio economic classes or just have personality clashes. They are then even more homesick and discouraged. Their days are programmed, they are endlessly critiqued by the church and to leave early is seen as a stain on their character and a failure to their family and friends. Upon return most girls and boys go to a mormon university in the US where they will almost assuredly find their husband/wife. This is especially creepy for the girls since if they are not seen to be actively trying to date but study and achieve a degree for an independent career the bishops will actually begin talking to them, placing leaflets of "parties" they are expected to go to and are always watching. The girls are meant to be breeders and the earlier they are married the more children they can have. @@Jac-Jay

I'm sure they get a more rounded education from the locals than vice versa. I'm an atheist, but enlightenment comes in weird ways. Politeness goes a long way here.

She knew they were under such tight restrictions and these are just young sheltered kids suddenly in a strange place and on their own. She said they would always come back and it was to just hangout out with everyone. They said it made them feel better to be surrounded by a family. They never talked about the religion at all.

The Mormon Church changes its doctrines because there is always a quorum and a new living prophet. For ex. they did not allow any race other than white into the church until the 1970's because to be a minority was to be stained by the devil. They openly hated gays and sent them to retraining camps but then decided to accept the fact that homosexuality exists and to love the sinner and hate the sin while expecting the gay person to pray it away and not openly talk about it.

this was such a well balanced video! normally religious documentaries seem to be either a tone of shunning/utter disbelief, or a positive ‘wow! how different and pure’ that completely overlooks negative aspects of faith like homophobia and the expectations placed on children born into the faith.

@702degrees 3 месяца назад

100% this. i've seen so many people praise mormons in docus like these because of their kindness, their generosity, their commitment to their lifestyle, etc. in reality, though, a lot of them are super kind and generous up until you're a family member who has come out as gay, or even has just stopped believing, and then you're basically shunned, much of the time. this sort of smiling, sympathetic veneer often covers the more darker aspects, and really influences how people see them; civility is a tool the LDS church has figured out how to wield expertly. (not to say that all mormons are fake about their kindness! but they specifically don't show the other stuff underneath and it can get quite irritating to see people praising the nice, lovely sentiment that a lot of mormons appear to possess when they are just as capable of damage (like every other community).)

The sad thing is believers can be completely well-intended and genuine, but the homophobic doctrine and rules still push many queer members to consider or attempt suicide. "God loves you, but living out your inherent identity is a sin against Him and he'll punish you eternally unless you repent" is a mind-bending message that wrecks people's self-worth. It's sad that so many earnest kind-hearted people feel obligated to enforce it. You can see the parents discomfort while they talk about it.

To have a spotless home, to do charity work within their own community, to have their children involved within alternative children groups ex no girl scouts but bumble bees, cook healthy meals, service their husband's every need and do so with perfect lipstick and a smile while having kids of all ages.

Stacey talking about how she spent her weekends as a teen like they were good and these people are weird, shows how much something like this is needed.

@Agape122 2 месяца назад

I felt the same, I feel the weird thing should be intoxicating yourself and going out to noise and drugs at such young age, and sadly it is seen as normal. From 18 to 20 years old I went to live in a monastery as a volunteer. It was an experience that absolutely made me grow and get the best skills I have now as a human being. Many people called me crazy to choose that instead of College, but I truly felt College was pointless if I didnt find a deeper meaning for my life. If you dont know why you are in this world then why to go to College or marry or do anything? There must be some deeper motivation inside in life otherwise I feel even if you have the best things externally , it means nothing as you feel empty internally.

Oh dear sweet Adam, I wish nothing but the best for you. Please hold tight to your convictions. That's what made me pull away from religion when I was just 8 years old. I have an aunt who is gay, she's been one of my favorite aunts my whole life and literally the best human you could ever want on your corner. I couldn't wrap my 8-year-old brain around how this angel of a human was sinful because she found love. Apparently, I had critical thinking enough at that age to say screw this lol. Never devoted myself to religion again.. yeah, as a child I was forced to go to church, but I didn't pay attention anymore. Like, I stopped caring. I continued believing in God until my 30s and that fizzled away too. Nothing happened to make it go away, I just one day found that I was forcing myself to keep believing in a deity. It wasn't easy, I had to grieve the loss of a life-long friend.. but I just didn't believe anymore and I had to accept that and come to terms with it

Instead of proselytizing, they serve others. Sometimes young people will start on a proselytizing mission and have anxiety or other issues and switch to a service mission. On top of that, we have missionaries who help out whenever there is a natural disaster of any kind. They spend countless hours clearing debris after a hurricane or things of that nature. Even proselytizing missionaries have been known to help mow lawns for elderly or teach English as a second language or any number of helpful things.

He does not question his faith, he wants to give you a proper answer.

Everything in their lives is pure, positive, beneficial; they endure doing the right things, moral, values, prepare for life as adults.

But I have to say it's a bit contradictory not to drink tea or coffee, but to consume unhealthy food like we see in the documentary. I exercise every day, get a lot of fresh air, always eat fresh food, lots of salad, vegetables, rice, but I also drink 3 cups of coffee with oat milk a day and to call that unhealthy, I highly doubt it. It always depends on the whole package. Eating a pizza once a week is not the end of the world, but eating it to lunch and dinner every day is definitely no longer healthy. it's about balance and calculating

As a member of the church, I would just like to highlight that one of the most important principles of our church is that freedom of choice is sacred and should be respected, we are followers of Christ, and therefore despite what you choose to do God loves you, Christ loves you and so should we. Not agreeing with something you do or believing that certain consequences are related to it should never mean you are treated any differently, every human being is a beloved child of God and should always be treated as such.

I am a member of the Church since 2017 and many things changed since my conversion. I have grown in age and I have grown as a person and woman. A few years after I converted and I decided for health reasons to quit smoking. I never drank alcohol so that wasn’t an issue. I quit coffee, tea and sodas as well. However not for religious reasons but for health reasons. My church family is beyond amazing. If I ever need anything, I can turn to my brothers and sisters and it will get done. Serving a mission is something that I would never push on my children as a matter of fact my oldest son left the Church in 2019 due to his own wishes and he is certainly entitled to make that choice. You can’t and should not force your beliefs onto others and make them feel obligated to live a certain way. We all are individuals and need to find our own paths. It’s not my job to guilt trip my offspring. My privilege is to love and support them no matter what they decide to do and to believe. Gay, straight, Buddhist, Christian or Atheist whatever the case may be. My babies are my babies and the children out their are other peoples babies.

I didn't know about the Mormon church before moving and then found out about it at my High School because there was so many of them there. They were extremely uptight, very strict about themselves and others, it just didn't seem like they were being kids. Whereas in this show, you can see the kids here in the UK who are growing up as Mormons are a lot more easy going and down to earth about it all. Nice to see

Such a hard job! I can’t even myself to do it. When I ask them why they choose that they say they do it because they believe and want to be volunteered, they smile and be kind all the time.

Generally where I live Mormons have their own cultivated areas. They have their own schools for the young, they have their own neighborhoods.

Mission rules have changed since this aired. They all have phones now (limited use ones) and are allowed to use their social media accounts to talk about gospel related things. Missionaries don’t recruit they teach to convert - quite a different emphasis. Young people go out willingly and the majority find their missions life changing & life defining - they’re thinking about others not themselves for 2 years which is character building. Stacey only seemed to view the way LDS folk live their lives as restrictive. It could also be seen as providing guidance and boundaries to free oneself to live life to its fullest - no addictions to coffee, alcohol or nicotine, so saving money and better health outcomes. Lots of people choose not to drink alcohol, coffee or tea or smoke etc these days as they look after their health for all sorts of reasons and they’re not religious. As to being moral; seems like an excellent way to live to me. Saves on heartache, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Committing oneself to one person in a marriage is the ideal in relationships, surely? A happy union that is, not a terrible one. It wasn’t that long ago that all of society lived by this moral code (at least on the surface) so it can’t be all bad. I love how in the LDS church Heavenly Father is not a punitive God but a loving, forgiving merciful God.

"Wouldn't you like some alcohol?" "wouldn't you rather do what other teenagers do?" (which is what exactly? Experiment with drugs, have sx, spend all day on social media, be depressed?). He then proceeded to tell her, that while he was encouraged to go on a missionary trip (as every child should be encouraged to do something meaningful), he said it was his decision, but she just can't fathom that someone would sacrifice hedonism for something meaningful in young years. These children seem more mature and emotionally stable than the typical teenager and the family seems great!
