Mormon Secrets: Blood Atonement and Racism 

Jessie - You are absolutely right about everything. Here's what you don't understand that I have come to realize. The truth hurts. I was raised LDS, served a mission, married in the temple, etc. I didn't know about the history of the LDS church because it's never been taught in church, seminary, the MTC, etc. Once you discover how much of a fraud Mormonism is it makes you angry and sad at the same time. I wish I could get my wife to see the light, but I don' think she can accept that she has been lied to all her life. Forget the thousands of dollars we donated in tithing. Its not the money that hurts, its the fact that the church was founded by an evil man who was portrayed to be good. But when you learn the truth some people think that you'll forever be separated from your family when you die. That's what really hurts and why I think many people refuse to accept the truth. I just hope that a loving god will never keep me and my family apart.

I was told that the IRS said they could not file nonprofit because they discriminated against blacks. And that is the reason blacks were given the priesthood They allowed this so they could file nonprofit.

I firmly believe my mother was molested by some elders in the 1930's or 40's. All her immediate family were raised Mormon, and followed it into adulthood excepting her and her brother. She would never disclose anything except to call it "that damned old cult". My Dad, wanting to be educated about it, bought The Book of Mormon, but couldn't get through it because Mama burned it. That tells me quite a lot.

As an ex mormon I appreciate this channel. I had serious doubts about the 'church' while I was in it and turned to see what others had to say. While I was researching i came across your videos and even looked up the sources you cited to read everything in context only to find that everything you say and portray is very accurate. Thanks for helping share the insanity of my former religion

There is a book online called "Tell It All" by Fanny Stenhouse. In it she tells about 19th century incidents of blood atonement and other Brigham Young era horrors.

there's not 1 in a thousand mormons that know blood atonement was actually practiced. my retort is, "in utah under brigham, if it was not practiced, why wasn't it practiced? with a lot of mormons, if you scratch around enough, it's alternately accepted and rejected often in the same breath, as you quoted from heber c kimball at 13:40. that quote where he mentions blood atoning men according to their covenants is especially interesting, because mormons say they don't make blood oaths in the temple. well, they most certainly did at one time didn't they. thelma gear's ancestor was john d lee. john d lee was a bishop and blood atoner/assassin/danite for brigham young. john d lee was the man brigham gave the revelation to---- to blood atone the wagon train at mountain meadows. so the whole wagon train was blood atoned, which is another historical event the mormons alternately deny and accept, often in the same breath. today, you can join the mormons at the annual ceremony at mountain meadows. while you sing we thank thee o god for a prophet, you can look out over the graves of the 100 or so people who were shot down cold at point blank range, or had their throats slit from ear to ear so that their blood could be poured out upon the ground. then the atoners dipped their hands into the blood, and raised their arms up to heaven to give thanks to their god for letting them avenge the prophets unto the 3rd and 4th generations, as their temple oaths mandated. john d lee was the patsy that took the fall for the mountain meadows massacre. he was tried and sentenced in a court of law to be executed at mountain meadows. "aim for the heart boys, aim for the heart". he told the firing squad. after being betrayed by briggy, in the end he didn't give up the belief in blood atonement. he wanted his own blood to be spilt for his own transqressions. thelma gear reads a page from the diary of one of her mormon ancestors, "it was an especially grizzly sunday, 5 people were blood atoned today after fast and testimony meeting." the bishop of the ward was john d lee. he was also the blood atoner on that sunday. orrin porter rockwell, bill hickman and hosea stout and also a lot of other men were blood atoners/danites/assassins. the mormons can deny it all. but it was openly taught at one time. and under briggy in territorial utah, if it wasn't practiced, why wasn't it?

Racism!!! I just talked to Lee baker about that! :) you’re a blessing!

These men are mocking and diminishing the atonement of Christ. Evil

I had a Mormon friend and it always freaked me out that he didn't consider black people full people until 2013!!! That racism is strong...and then there's the sexism, forced tithing, and pyramid scheme thing going on. Plus, the broken families.

I love the bible verses after such wild stuff the founders of this cult said. On that note, I have a question that might be a good video topic: how much is the bible taught in mormon churches? I've heard various things but every time I tell a mormon it's not a Christian religion they play the "it says Jesus Christ right in the name." That infuriates me because the name of their church is a slap in the face to bible believing Christians and bastardizes Jesus. Another topic: What is your story? What are some of the best/most convicting things for mormons to hear from Christians? Does content matter or does a mormon have to be questioning and willing to listen? These aren't all random question haha I actually feel there is a huge opportunity for Christians to evangelize to mormons. A because they have a similar theological leaning in that they at least know the bible. B because they are SOOO nice, so engaging and willing to talk. I honestly feel really bad for mormons because they are SOO deceived by what (most of them) grew up in. And for a lot of them it's honestly not their fault.

Jessie, this is such a great video! Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Keep preaching the truth!! Praying for you

Not a Mormon but I have to intellectually i do have to have to say in Christianity that at least one a sin that is never forgiven so wouldn’t that mean that that the death and resurrection must not cover: Matthew 12:31 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

It wasn't a sin if a Mormon stole from a Gentile. In their temples they accepted the blood atonement by using hand signs Hand that does a neck cut from ear to ear And a waist cut from one side to the other so the bowels would fall out

thank you so much for sharing and exposing the Lies!!

Brilliant video, I didn't realize how they warp Jesus's word. Scary

How come Brigham Young,and of course ,Joseph Smith,can do whatever they like,And they don’t need to pay for their sins,🌹

One of many reasons why I say Mormons aren't Christian they don't have forgiveness even today there might not be blood atonement like there was back in Brigham Young's day but from what I've heard you can be excommunicated for just the smallest incident.

I just want to clarify something, the quote "from" Joseph Smith were compiled after Joseph's death. Brigham Young was a dirtbag and G.A. Smith was one of Brigham's followers. So I don't really trust anything those two say of what Joseph Smith said, so I don't take that as a reputable source. Everything else you say is exactly accurate about Brigham Young and after. But Joseph Smith WAS in a position to make those laws on the saints, but never did, because that's not what he stood for.

I can’t find these versus or phrases you are reading anywhere online. Where did you get this or where can I find it? Online only shows page numbers no chapters or versus like how you read them

A bold move to mock McConkie for complaining that critics take 19th century church leaders out of context, and then immediately proceed to take McConkie out of context. After the quotation of McConkie given he went on to say the following: "But under certain circumstances there are some serious sins for which the cleansing of Christ does not operate, and the law of God is that men must then have their own blood shed to atone for their sins. Murder, for instance, is one of these sins; hence we find the Lord commanding capital punishment." And thus we see that McConkie was advocating the death penalty as a function of the state, not the church. And while I don't agree with his personal opinion regarding capital punishment and the Lord supposedly "commanding" it, it nevertheless coincides with his point that, "wicked and evilly-disposed persons have fabricated false and slanderous stories to the effect that the Church, in the early days of this dispensation, engaged in a practice of blood atonement whereunder the blood of apostates and others was shed by the Church as an atonement for their sins."

Could this be why JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan were found on Chad Daybell''s property. Tylee dismembered and burned, and JJ Vallow tied up. Were they sacrificed for someone's sins, their mother? This is terrible

Hi Jess, im new to all this....brought fresh to you by the chad daybell case. Do you believe the kids were sacrificed. Ive looked through the history and found a few documentarys discussing ritual sacrifices of children to excel them in the afterlife amd blood atonement for their sins... Seems very likely to me but wondered your opinion.

I once mailed a very TBM woman friend a site about the racist remarks of LDS prophets and apostels. A month later she told me in the sacrements meeting that “I should give a church speech about this Topic because SHE HAD NOT READ IT” ! She had ofcourse read some of it, but would not admit that she had read any of it. She must have been pretty upset about it! Big thumb down for the LDS church and a big tumb up for you!

I left you a comment asking you to do a video on this but I didn't look to see this one. I was like 'you need to do a video on Brigham young and blood atonement'. 😂 silly me, you already had.

I dont understand.... any breaking of the Ten Commandments is sin.... messiah came to atone for the sin of the golden calf “idolatry” and gave us a new covenant with God with the same rules. Messiah came to atone for our sins “breaking the Ten Commandments “ murder is a sin.... thou shalt not murder.... where do they get this stuff

That blood atonement thing is so troubling. This was a "prophet of God" teaching this principle?

I’m LDS and I’m glad you are raising awareness. My ward has been pressuring me to give blood against my will. They are using the excuse that all members must give blood as Jesus gave in order to be saved and forgiven. 3 times I emailed my relief society telling them sometimes harshly, that we DO NOT need to give blood to charity to be saved. I have a toxic history with my ward because I used to be a toxic person before I got psychiatric help so I have a negative reputation at my ward unfortunately due to this so nobody’s taking me seriously but the members laugh at me and mock me saying I’m in sin for refusing to give blood claiming the Book of Mormon says only after all we do are we saved. They are misinterpreting that verse. It literally says we are saved by GRACE ALONE after all we can do. That verse doesn’t mean we have to do works to be saved. That verse means we do the best we can on earth to serve God and after we die, grace alone saved us after doing our best to serve but the members of my ward keep sending out emails saying we must give blood as Jesus gave or our sins aren’t covered. That sounds so cultish! Friends of mine, in other LDS wards in different states checked with their bishops and NONE of their wards believe this nonsense and told me blood atonement is NOT condoned by the church or the prophets but they said unfortunately if my ward believes these cultish things it’s best to get out of there and find another church since the church has a policy nobody’s allowed to switch wards unless they move into another district. I do have an all black Methodist church down the street and an apostate church but the apostate church is racist against blacks and the Methodist church doesn’t allow white members. I’m in the south so it’s all southern Baptists, Methodists, Apostates and Mormons. There aren’t any other churches in the area I live in. I’m just in shock and getting bullied by my ward for standing up for the truth. People at church already feel like I’m manipulative, toxic and they don’t believe me about my problems because I’m autistic and have PTSD and I tend to have problems with everyone in my life due to struggling to interpret things correctly due to the Asperger’s and they feel like I blame everyone for my issues when the reality is I blame myself for everything including other peoples actions and they tell me to take responsibility for how other people act and tell me it’s my fault how people act because I get defensive with everybody. My therapist and psychiatrist says there’s NO WAY all these problems are my fault because it’s take 2 people to fight. They think I’m for some reason attracting other toxic people because I don’t get into fights with friendly people. It’s only judgmental people I can’t get along with. Regardless, weather it’s my fault, everybody else’s or both, these emails have to stop. My LDS friends from the good wards advised I go inactive awhile and block these emails so that may be what I have to do 😢 My bishop and second relief society counselor and relief society President and everyone in the ward except my parents agrees with this blood atonement thing unfortunately so my parents aren’t able to help me. Members are shunning them too for refusing to accept this blood atonement nonsense. It’s ridiculous. That being said, when the church was originally built, polygamy, racism and blood atonement didn’t even exist. Freemasonry was brought into the church after Brigham Young corrupted Joseph Smith. Church became a cult after that, was restored to Christianity in 1975, and now, it’s becoming a cult again. Our prophet even said at conference last year that the outdated temple rituals must STOP and he has told members to stop believing works save them and has said grace ALONE brings salvation and exaltation but members refuse to let go of the outdated beliefs. They won’t listen to our leaders who have said repeatedly NOT to follow works based doctrine. It’s just really messed up. I always believed this church was true because I never felt the Holy Spirit in ANY other church or religion and I only ever felt at home in the LDS church and the Bible always brought me confusion and the Book of Mormon is the ONLY scripture that makes logical sense because it has no contradictions. People who aren’t LDS completely misunderstand it. I truly do believe the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It was NEVER part of the Bible, therefore those who say it was added to the Bible are mistaken. It’s literally a different set of scriptures and no different than the catholic gospels and the Q’uran. Plus, that Bible verse was about revelations NOT the entire Bible and the Book of Mormon was foretold in Isiah. Joseph Smith didn’t even write the Book of Mormon so it’s unfair to say he was a con man because all he did was translate it. That book has been around for centuries. Nobody knows who wrote it and people can try and prove it wrong all they want but my dad is a scientist and even he says scientific data CAN be faked. So I don’t believe these ex Mormons for one minute about that. Now, I’m sorry for what they went through but they went through outdated rituals that aren’t even legal. Our prophet is trying to overturn that stuff but nobody’s listening to him. I still believe this church is true, but I also believe individual wards and temples have been corrupted and misled. The churches doctrine itself is still true but it’s the wards and temples and members that are being misled by their own beliefs and way of thinking. Our actual leaders have spoken the truth but nobody listens. I will never leave this church because I have never felt the Holy Spirit in any other church. I have had NDE’s/Dreams due to out of body and near death experiences and spiritual before so I’m aware of what awaits me in heaven, hell and the spirit world so I honestly don’t care where I go in the afterlife at this point. So many people have told me I’m going to hell for being autistic and Mormon that I just don’t care anymore. I can tell you however that after these experiences I converted to spiritualism. There’s things I witnessed that I can’t speak of. However, I can tell you the Mormon church is just as true as any other religion on earth. Our God is just and merciful. People will be surprised at who’s saved and who isn’t because God looks at our hearts not our actions. He doesn’t care what religion we are as long as we accept Jesus as lord and savior. You want the key? Love God with all thy heart and soul, accept Christ as lord and savior, Baptism, repentance, forgiveness of sin and loving others. That’s all that is required. Works and faith don’t save anyone. If we would all love each other and just follow Jesus instead of judging each other, the world would be a better place but at same time we must be willing to stand against evil and false teachings so it’s between a rock and hard place. So no matter what we believe, we need to respect and love each other but yeah I’m considering leaving my ward for sure because this nonsense is getting ridiculous.

I don’t normally comment on loads of things but love your vids, the hard evidence is there! I’m glad to be out now but feel for the great people I met in there and I hope they will end up seeing it for what it is, satans church! A good friend of mine from there and me have been discussing it, cos do want to try and shed some light but also don’t want to hurt there feelings, but he said the Book of Mormon and bible go hand in hand? Yes maybe in the fact that there both books! Ha But even in the intro of BOM it says Joseph said that this book is the most correct book of any other religious book on earth when he’s a liar, the bible is (not to go against any other religions) but it makes me sick they call themselves Christian’s when the doctrine and everything else proves there not but great vids:) x

Brigham Young sounds like a several killer. Oh yah he ordered the murder of the meadow murders and that wasn't enough blood shed for him .Brigham Young was a really sick puppy 🐶.

"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." We do not wish to think on such evil. This is why God gives authority to governments Capital punishment is authorized by a society. It is a penalty, but not wrath. God will bring that society into judgment or approval.

all crimes must be atoned for...no one else can atone for your crimes.

Dam you're cute

Thank you so much ;)

Love that song! I feel God's love every time I hear In Christ Alone! (Owl City's version is my fave) Anyway great video with lots of info and references!! I'm a lifetime Mormon (of 51 years) but just got out about 6 months ago and still trying to recover from my faith crisis. Your videos have helped me A LOT! Thanks for always doing your videos with love and never mocking us as that is what attracted me to your GREAT videos! Thanks again Jessie and God bless!!

The blood was alread shed and then some

Mark 3: 28 -30 Luke 12 :8-10

It's not hypocrisy...you are chewing on meat, when you require milk

I know it said in the Book of Mormon. That blacks whites and Jews and gentiles and slaves and free people were all equal. Somewhere at beginning?

Human sacrifice was banned in the Torah...

Mormonism is based.

Early Black Priesthood Holders: Peter Kerr, Elijah Abel and William McCary. Plural marriage and interracially married.

I'm so glad I'm out of this here BS. This sounds like something my LDS family thinks a Polytheist like me would do.

It's odd how you say some things aren't true. You're talking about a religion. Truth isn't related to faith. That's religion 101.

Isn't Utah the only state that uses the firing squad for the death penalty?

Too sick!!!

Very nice video

What is Jessie's full name? I want to quote her in the book I'm working on..

l like Mormons more now : )

And these very same people want us to believe they worship the same God as us.

3:03 no 1 Corinthians 11:7-12 states otherwise...for this reason I refuse to consider women equal or superior to men

Were you a Mormon?

Unfortunately, there was no BLM movement in the pre-existence war in heaven for us 'fence-sitters'.

Fellow post Mormon. That doesnt really sound like the Jesus we read about in the New Testiment, does it?

You are a Maisie thanks for sharing knowledge and knowing that all people are created equal. I can’t help what color I am just like you can’t help what color you are or what family he was raised.

Wonderful job, as always. Thank you!

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.

I think it's disturbing that you are willing to state "true" or "not true" emphatically when discussing 2000 year and possibly mythological events. You have no idea who kicked Judas, you simply believe what you were told to believe and *feel* is correct - however there are many more people on the planet that would tell you that what you believe is "not true" because of what they were told and what they feel. You can cherry pick any doctrine and find poison; nationalism, a religion, a political idea. Judeo-Christianity has no shortage of ugliness, nor ugly actors. Speak your truth, by all means, but before you cast stones take stock.

He should of has his blood spelt on the ground of his choice.

What Mormons teach about the birth of a handicapped Child and minorities especially in third world countries "This privilege of obtaining a mortal body on this earth is seemingly so priceless that those in the spirit world, even though unfaithful or not valient, were undoubtedly permitted to take mortal bodies although under penalty of racial or physical or nationalistic limitations...." (Decisions for Successful Living pp 164-165) TLDP: 497- Harold B. Lee “There is no truth more plainly taught in the Gospel than that our condition in the next world will depend upon the kind of lives we live here. …Is it not just as reasonable to suppose that the conditions in which we now live have been determined by the kind of lives we lived in the pre-existent world of spirits? That the apostles understood this principle is indicated by their question to the Master when the man who was blind from his birth was healed of his blindness, ‘Master, who did sin, this man or his parents that he was born blind?’ (John 9:2.) Now perhaps you will have a partial answer to some of your questions as to why, if God is a just Father, that some of his children are born of an enlightened race and in a time when the Gospel is upon the earth, while others are born of a heathen parentage in a benighted, backward country; and still others are born to parents who have the mark of a black skin with which the seed of Cain were cursed and whose descendants were to be denied the rights of the priesthood of God” (Harold B. Lee, Decisions for Successful Living, pp. 164-165).

This is some gangsta shit

Intent. Gossipers often have the goal of building themselves up by making others look bad and exalting themselves as some kind of repositories of knowledge. 2. The type of information shared. Gossipers speak of the faults and failings of others, or reveal potentially embarrassing or shameful details regarding the lives of others without their knowledge or approval. Even if they mean no harm, it is still gossip. In the book of Romans, Paul reveals the sinful nature and lawlessness of mankind, stating how God poured out His wrath on those who rejected His laws. Because they had turned away from God’s instruction and guidance, He gave them over to their sinful natures. The list of sins includes gossips and slanderers (Romans 1:29b-32). We see from this passage how serious the sin of gossip is and that it characterizes those who are under God’s wrath.

The Bible speaks against blasphemy Jessie are you sure that speaking out against the LDS church is not blasphemy jessie? Blasphemy use an unforgivable sin Jessie are you sure you want to stand in this position. I’ve already found several places where you have given false information I have given you examples of that in several of your videos where do you stop Jessie?

What is blasphemy? There is not a clear meaning found. How do you know by speaking against the LDS church that you are not committing blasphemy Jessie? The Bible states that it is an unforgivable sin Jessie. Target an entity give false info to thousands of vulnerable people. Are you really sure you want to sit in this position Jessie?

I could look at you all day

Jessie, you have no credibility. 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 as long as they can blame the church. 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.

The first one and the racial one are the only two that are still justified today in my view.

Another lie

Every video Ive seen of hers she twist and spins things a great democrate
