The Dark Side of a Mormon Mission - Brinley Jensen Pt. 1 | Ep. 1680 

😂😂😂😂 Honestly, though, is there ANYTHING that doesn't bring you to tears?? Exactly!!! You're an American adult crybaby 😂😂😂😂!¡

May God bless you!

You had an advanced brain and YOU chose to use it for magical thinking. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

So you traded one untenable magical-thinking story for another's magical-thinking story ². Congratulations🎉🎉🎉🎉

I completely agree. I was so struck by how eloquent she is. In general, this talk has given me just so much to think about.

Èaaaaaaw ear raised

She still needs therapy desperately. She’s intelligent but still referring to het friends as “ sweet” Personally I feel she’s very angry with no outlet.

A little warm? 😂

I left the church in 2020, but always invite the missionaries to come over and get out of the heat of Phoenix! I’ll even put up with their questions of if I ever had a testimony 🙄

​@@shelbyviana3386 Gosh, how naive and insensitive of them to ask that

@@shelbyviana3386I’ve never been apart of their church but I always invite them in. We are all humans.

​@@SocketSilver. Swifty, "apart" and "a part" are ANTONYMS!!!! Do you know what a synonym is? I didn't think so....😂😂😂😂😂

Way to go!!

Why weren’t you writing a message like this when they told you to stay inside, wear a mask, and keep away from people!!?

The Mormons allow tattoos. Is coffee next? How will anyone rebel?

@Maggie 2 Sticks ⁉️ You might want to reread Rhandi's comment. He/she said their "nephew did not complete his mission... [...] … left his Mormon faith… made of a ton of money getting in with some ground breaking internet music companies back in the day... got tattoos and started drinking coffee!" Emphasis on "left his Mormon faith… [before he] got tattoos and started drinking coffee!" Anyway, no the church doesn't allow tattoos (unless - nowadays - new members or even investigators already have tattoos that can't be removed but can be concealed) and no, coffee drinking is not allowed at all. Make any sense now? Take care and God bless you and yours.

The holy spirit never misleads a surrendered heart

There is no one "Catholic Sisterhood." Repeat! So it makes me think you are fake, because there are many orders of nuns. I think a genuine catholic would have said she was preparing for a vocation or was going to enter a convent, and would probably name the actual order, not "the Catholic Sisterhood," because there is no such thing, lol. Are you an anticatholic fake?

Yes, but the deceiver cloaks himself in beauty and gold. I prefer silver and purple the blood of Christ, the bridge between the created the blue blood of kings, the red blood of man, we are the created and we are devine. I'm no theologist or scholar but it seems right to me. He is both. Peace and blessings from the Mother, the Father and the Son a man.

It's never too late to make changes.... DO IT NOW AND GO TO THE CATHOLICS AND WALK INTO A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ASK FOR HELP....... YOUR TIME HAS COME..... MAY GOD BLEED YOU DONNETT!!

​@@orlando9giftssevenfoldbarf, clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡 o

I know exactly how you feel. I'm 65 and I still have moments of guilt.

Yes, I would like to know how she carried on so well. The lds I knew growing up became inactive when they became sexually active. I guess everything she internalized eventually surfaced on her mission

The sad thing is that the cultural inter competitiveness and perfectionism which is the human element within the LDS culture manifesting itself isn’t the gospel. Elder Bruce R. McConkie got into this with his talk “Seven Deadly Heresies”. He said it’s a false idea that we have to be perfect in this life to go to heaven after this life. Basically it boils down to, what Joseph Smith related to like a ladder-that even after this life we would continue to grow and progress in order to progress towards perfection. Some of that progression must happen after this life “in which we see through a glass darkly”. The important thing is that whatever spirit we invite into our lives is the critical thing. If we live a life where the Spirit is with us, that spirit will continue to be able to maintain influence with us after this life. If we go the other direction and choose to do evil constantly, then that spirit will maintain power and influence over us after this life. And that our life is not free of mistakes and sin-that’s what repentance and Christ’s atonement is for. Jesus did command us in the New Testament “be thou perfect as thy Father in Heaven is perfect.” But we also know that the scriptures relate that the only perfect sinless life was Jesus. The rest of us are actually here to MAKE mistakes and learn from this earthly experience. We will always treasure this life and the experience we gained-the good, bad, and the ugly. Perfection is the goal; progress is the process. “With God all things are possible.” We will know from experience the difference between good and evil. And lastly-our works don’t save us. “For it is by grace we are saved, after all we can do.” We do the best we can do-by no means close to perfect, and yet we are “unprofitable servants.” These things are all taught in the Bible, and the Mormon Scriptures too-the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price. We are SO blessed as we bring ourselves into conformity with God’s commandments. He gives us guidelines, and as we learn to live them, we are blessed with the good consequences which result. And part of Christ’s atonement is that as we strive to live those things, He gives us enabling power to help us.

So this young girl jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire 🔥. A church that supports LGBTGIA is not a church sanctioned by the Jesus Christ of the Bible. These ppl leave the church because if social disparities rather than going in the direction of Christ’s teachings in the Holy Bible. Homosexuality is not ok with God. Loving the person but hating the sin is a hard thing to do for most ppl much less Mormon girls. The truth is in the Bible. If Mormons or anybody can’t see that BLM and these acronym agencies aren’t evil then they have no discernment and do not follow the Jesus of the Bible. All the reasons why this girl Left the church had zero to do with being a real Christian and everything with evolving into a feminist and activist for Lucifer.

@@sean9522 but it’s hard to not go off Gospel when the LDS Faith is off Gospel. I read the Book of Mormon everyday still, but I am very aware of what Christ and the angel Nephi (it’s wasn’t Moroni if u read the original accounts and the early church newsletters) said to Joseph - ALL THINGS ARE WRITTEN pertaining to the Gospel of Christ. It’s so sad that Joseph didn’t head Christ’s words AND changed what was given to him in the Book of Commandments (later changed by the church to allow Joseph to be “the prophet”). Thank God we have what was first produced, so we can discern what is from God and what was changed by men.

@@soundlycreative yes I understand how you think and feel this way. I have studied “anti-Mormon rhetoric for some 40 years now from top to bottom and, find the body of it to be specious, based on false premises, etc. thank you for your kind and respectful reply, I hope that you and I and all people may find what they are looking for in their lives . I am happy from your reply that you haven’t tossed out Jesus and a belief in God in your life. May we all be blessed to the extent His light permeates our lives and may we walk true to the light we have. God bless.

Thx for weighing in. I too am nonmormon but had many friends in the Church, who left the Church. This is so informative as well as a joy to hear her journey.

I was raised catholic at a time when priests were literally considered God,but compared to the LDS Church it was normal, why is it that in most religions women have to be modest & not tempt men, because men can't control their thoughts/actions. This young lady is so brave

❤❤

Sommer thank you so much for sharing this!!

Sommer, I am so sorry to hear that your bishop was so unsympathetic and downright unfair to you!! I’m so sorry he exaggerated and wasn’t truthful with you! I’m so sorry you had to wonder why you were not treated as the other girls and that you had your feelings hurt by him!! I would not want to have a bishop like him, and I wouldn’t want him to be a bishop to my two teenage daughters, either! And it would be phenomenal these days to see a child go to Church all alone!! I must inform you that women have been going on missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints since …are you ready… 1898!!! The names of the first Sister Missionaries back then were Jennie Brimhall and Inez Knight. The prophet, Wilford Woodruff called them to serve in England. I got this information from the book, Girls Who Chose God, Stories of Extraordinary Women from Church History, which I bought for my girls a few years ago. You really should be careful about getting your facts straight before making claims as if they are true, especially when it comes to organizations like the Church. Other early Sister missionaries who are in my knowledge are the prophet Ezra Taft Benson’s wife, Flora Amussen Benson, who served an honorable mission in Hawaii in the 1920s!! Her missionary service lasted for nearly two years. It took place when she was still single. When my mother was baptized in 1964, the missionaries who taught her the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ were two Sister missionaries. I served a mission to Montana from 1989 - 1991. Except for severely cold winters, I loved every moment of my service, and I have never regretted it for a second!!! So, you must be quite aged by now to be older than these women, as you stated that women didn’t serve missions yet when you were younger! I can’t tell you why some bishops are unsupportive, because I’ve had them too, and it hurts so much when you’re not treated as the other girls, especially when you love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I would caution you and others to be careful and study the doctrine of the Church, not to make your study a study of man and his ways! Because PEOPLE will always let us down, unlike God and Jesus Christ. I’ve had several wonderful bishops, too , but I don’t base my testimony on who they are; rather, I base my testimony on truth! The Book of Mormon substantiates the Bible and the prophecies therein. You and others should doubt your doubts before you doubt your fears! This little girl Brinley is just so ungrateful. There have been so many manifestations given to me by the Holy Ghost, that I would NEVER think to doubt! Being a woman is wonderful! We don’t need to have Priesthood authority, ourselves, to be greatly blessed by it! This is Jesus’ Priesthood, not your former bishop’s! He was not the author of it; Jesus Christ is! Please listen to this new member of the Church, who explains this really well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G7iWuQs9FQ0.html

@@deboraholsen2504 Thank you for your comment. I studied the doctrine of the church daily for 3 years before I wrote my letters asking to be removed as a member. It wasn’t something I took lightly. The church was very very important to me. Question- did you grow up as a “Utah Mormon”? Or were you raised in the church somewhere other than UT or Idaho? I was born in 1978- not sure how old you are…. Anyways- Regarding the “women as missionaries” statement, I remember asking if I could go on a mission when I turned 18 like all of the boys were strongly encouraged to do, and being told absolutely not. I also remember “At the October 2012 general conference, President Thomas S. Monson announced that “able, worthy young women who have the desire to serve may be recommended for missionary service beginning at age 19, instead of age 21.” He said that while young women “are not under the same mandate to serve as are the young men,” they “make a valuable contribution as missionaries, and we welcome their service.” So, there’s that. Yes, there were sister missionaries before then, but was it common and strongly encouraged? Even now, I’m my experience, the answer is no. Moving on- I want to assure you that I absolutely KNOW people will let you down and that doesn’t mean GOD lets us down- but remember, ALL RELIGION is man made. All sacred books are written by men claiming to speak for God, or the gods. Have you read the Bible, cover to cover? I have. Many times. I’ve also read the Book of Mormon cover to cover, as well as the Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. All of the books left out of the Bible when Constantine commissioned the Bible as we know it to be put together. I’ve also read Joseph Smith’s version of the Bible (which I don’t understand why the LDS don’t use, since he was put on earth to restore the gospel- and surely his version of the Bible is the absolute most correct version). I studied every essay on the history of the church on the LDS website, all of the various prophets journals, etc. I studied and studied and studied- in my hopes to convert my orthodox Christian husband to become LDS. My maiden name is Young. All of my ancestors are Mormon Pioneers. My advice to you would be to never assume things about people you see comment on a RU-vid video. I would caution you to be wary of what men tell you is good and right, and research and study for yourself. If you are happy in your faith, terrific. I, myself, would never push my faith onto my children (even if I thought it was the one true church etc) and I would let them find out for themselves what belief system speaks to them. Also, I don’t judge you or hold any bad feelings due to your judgement of me or your judgement of this “little girl” Brinley (who is, in fact, a full grown woman and old enough to go on a mission, have a family, a career, etc). I understand that you can only know what you know, and you’re afraid to listen to new things that might make you question what you’ve believed to be TRUE your entire life. Believe me, I’ve been there, walked through the fire, and come out on the other side. It’s terrifying- but also so freeing and wonderful. Again- thank you for your compassion about what I went through as a child and young woman in the LDS faith. Weird that you wouldn’t want him as a Bishop, when every bishop- and every single calling period- is called by Heavenly Father himself! And who are we to question what Heavenly Father Himself ordains?!? That Bishop was exactly who God wanted in that position, as was my Young Womens leader, Stake President, and the Prophet of the church at that time. Anyway- I’m rambling…. Enjoy the rest of your day. I wish you wisdom, joy, and laughter.

Sommer, I have had VERY similar experiences in the LDS church to you and also through extensive studying and prayer found that I could not continue in the church. Deborah I am not shocked at your response. I also grew up in Utah and experienced many self-righteous Mormon women who felt the need to tell me all the ways my questions were wrong and I needed to "be careful" in seeking knowledge outside of directly that given from the church. The passive-aggressive threatening language chosen is very familiar. I would parrot Sommer in saying do your own research and maybe honestly ask yourself why someone believing something other than your beliefs invokes such a threatening response. God is all about love and acceptance, regardless of differences or faults. Best of luck to you Anyway, thank you for your response Sommer and I hope you've found what works best for you! 💜

I’m a Christian, but listening to brinley makes m want to learn more

Then, why would you go? Seems weak to me. I have had friends go in the past and they all came home having loved it.

@@Mark-cw4un You see some people are cursed with critical thinking, lucky for you your friends must not have been!

Brendon how are you now?

Brandon how are you now?

@@Mark-cw4un because sometimes, at the ripe age of 18, you make decisions that will impact the next two years of your life without being given all the information, and when you get to the mission field, you're committed, or you deal with the ramifications of not being fully committed to the cause. Would I have gone, knowing what I know now? I don't know. It changed me for the better in the grand scheme of things, and helped start my path out of the church, but it came at a price. You don't know and you couldn't possibly know when you submit your papers to go.

I just wish he could say ”could you talk a little bit about..” instead of ”talk about..”. It has less of a demanding sound to it.

John always goes quickly to sex. He’s kind of boring.

I find John riveting not boring at all.He has good interviewing skills and his vocabulary and voice inflections are easy on the ear.

Im quite sure not.

I'm so glad you came to see the truth of the huge fraud perpetuated by Joseph Smith. I'm so sorry for the years lost in fear, but so happy for your freedom.

Then WHY are SO MANY coming back who had "exactly the same suspicions which turned to convictions. Confusion is rampant but not in the LDS Church like you say. No Judgement, just sayin'.... THIS GUY is not preaching the truth. It is "his opinion" of the Truth. There are AS MANY OPINIONS as there are Souls upon the Earth. Best wishes to you and yours.

​@@danstephensen9032ohhhhhh u are here to gaslight mormons who have escaped the cult? 😅 Staaaaap it!

@@joyabia682Dear Joy, I like your name but it seems contrary to what I’m hearing from you due to mis-information. I’m 72 and have never seen the slightest shred of “Cultist” behavior EVER in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as Life time member . We are LDS, not Mormon. But you’re welcome to maintain the affliction of MDS (Mormon derangement Syndrome). Former members are returning. Sorry if it’s a bother. You may be interested in knowing also that a sweet family (of Color) we are very close to, brought a friend to Church for the past year. She’s lesbian and has a church she loves but it turns out that she has received much more love and acceptance at our LDS meetings. She was baptized in the LDS Church 3 months ago. She’s SO popular, she has even more friends in our congregation THANI DO! 🤣🤣 She is ecstatic, finding Joy and healing through the unmistakable Power of God, that her gay tendencies though still there, are on a very low ebb. I told her, Lana, we love you just the way you are. God does too and you are His creation. You don’t have to change ANYTHING!! We all have a cross to bear but that doesn’t define us. I would be happy to show you a pic of her Baptism. It was simply beautiful and again, there is absolutely nothing resembling a cult anywhere in the LDS Church: The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are other “factions” who are referred to as “Mormon”. Some of those likely practice Cultist ways, even having child brides and several mothers in the same family. They should be AND ARE arrested in many cases for child Neglect. I can see why there is some confusion. They are not connected to our Faith in any way shape or form. By the way, one of my all time favorite Singers, Gladys Knight, is a very Happy LDS Member. She has enjoyed singing with the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square in SLC UT. She manages her own LDS CHOIR which tours often. Her children in Atlanta introduced her to the LDS church many years ago. The LDS CHURCH DOES NOT discriminate! Not AT ALL! In Leadership, in Church Business and in our World-wide Conferences on line or on Cable all around the world in ALL Nations and languages All represented. So Joy, I would love to answer your honest questions in order to clear up any misunderstanding you have about this amazing Religion that builds EVERYONE UP. Over 16 Million members. Exponential growth in most African Nations now. May God provide you Health Wealth and Peace in your Heart. 🙏 Dan ~~ USAF VET, Church Organist Funk and variety Drummer Still performing Father of 7 amazing Souls!

Sounds like it!

So what they do is gaslighting, cognitive dissonance, manipulating, controlling and getting people to the border of suicide. Sounds like psychopaths-narcissist behind the Church?

As a non Mormon I wonder why?

@@wishicouldspel Why what?

@@RichardMumford1 Great question. My apologies for not being clear. Why does a 60 year LDS member binge watch these? Not being LDS myself ( count myself blessed to have many friends and business colleagues who are) these seems to undercut basically all the underpinnings of 99.99% of what the Salt Lake version of LDS hold as 100 % truth. If any of these Mormon Podcast stories contain any truth at all its a game changer for sure. one thing I've found as the over arching theme by those John interviews is the whole premise that ones life and eternity is fully wrapped in self righteousness in the LDS theology. Basically if your not perfect your not making it. Bring as old as I am its clearly a fact that no one alive today can attain that. Least not myself. Therefore the only hope in LDS theology is fully based in ones actions alone. probably leads to much of the high rate of suicide and desperation as marked by this young womans testimony. Some of the most grevious folks ive ever encountered are LDS folks who have just had a love one die. The whole hope level seems to be very low. Confidence in what they proport to believe is not very foundational at the point of death. Your experience the same?

Why? Because nobody really knows and I've come to the realization that if you think you know, then you know less than people that don't know. As humans we want to define everything and we want to be right but it's the universe for God's sake, time and space has no beginning and has no end, so if anyone can tell me how that works then I'll listen to the rest of it.

You still got plenty of time go live babes. I made a great friend recently, 77 years old, widow, just bought and designed a beautiful little home, put art in her room that speaks to her heart, that depict women "just getting up and going for it" goes to the gym multiple times a week, babysits her grandson, has Zoom calls with friends from college, she has friends in colorado who send her new tea flavors. She's an angel, and a soul sister to me at 25. She made me realize you can live more life in a short time at an old age Than most do in their entire youth. You got this.

You are so right and eloquent me I felt everything you said! The complete failure of leaders I had nightmares o being rushed in the ever churning cogwheels of the church..Not rushed Crushed Not individualizig Just cram us through and let us rot

In every religion there are leaders at the top making billions below them from membership and having relationships with big companies, such as Amazon, Walmart....the "donations" from church members, estates from very rich people left to the church, etc. The young men who have to work for nothing or be kicked out of the congregation in some polygamous Mormon faiths is nothing short of abuse. The non polygamous Mormon leaders seek men especially who have a natural or pressure to seek high paying jobs or form companies so the 10% given to the church is more and more and more. We would all like to think the organisation we are part of is run by good people but there is not one religious based , God fearing group who recruited and grew their membership large...that didn't have greed for money and power as the backbone. My sister is part of the Grandview location in Bangor, Maine. At this point she's not comfortable and senses impending doom...not with the coming of Christ but with where the church is headed, especially with the swept under the carpet problems with murder, abuse, extra marital affairs, polygamy, hidden homosexuality, the written word being changed often, young people finding themselves in high levels of stress and or depression. The church has to keep sending people out to recruit new members so their bank accounts grow even larger. My sister said the membership is not allowed to know where and how the men at the top live. It would only make sense as every other religious organization, "that man at the top is filthy rich and fat from gluttony". My sister was once a JW when she was about 30 years younger. She was always seeking and needing to continue a relationship with her creator. Eventually following a friend to the LDS church. Here's the thing the JWs also believe there will only be so many saved and they are the chosen ones. If you have love and goodness in you and respect, veneration and humility toward your creator, work hard, stay on a strong path and teach well, you will be fine A relationship with God should never be based on fear, forcing young people to go out and recruit members, expecting free or hard work from their members and saying they are working and giving to the Lord when it's just a way of protecting moneys accumulated. There are millions of good members of any church but there is always greed and gluttony at the top. The Mormon church has actually created quite successful people. There is that. Hard work reaps the benefits. It's a shame such a large membership of 17 million globally do not have a stronger voice. You need trustworthy, honest and true, loyal, moral and is dedicated to a strict code of self preservation and value toward the ultimate goal, which is to serve their creator...not through any other "man" but a direct connection which is one of the simplest relationships. If that type of leader has dignity and integrity and honor.... everything will automatically fall into place. It's obvious that is not happening. www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/mormon-church-multibillion-investment-fund-sec-settlement-rcna71603

@@Pruflas-Watts Your point is taken. In other words some white people can act patronising to black people because they are not being transparent in their support to black people.

Nobody cares what race you are.

@@lifewithoutfear1213 Race has justified genocide such as people from Israel and brutality towards black people in relationship to who lives and dies and justified enslavement. If you show a lack of interest in race you show a lack of interest in humanity. A guide to denial, the only people who can psychologically denies the centrality of race are those who are racially privileged to whom race is invisible precisely because the world is structured around them. Race will not disappear if we do not talk about it. If we do not talk about any issue we will not solve the problem. It is not going to work it self out on its own. If you do not learn from history it will repeat itself. In the same way counties take the credit for the good they do. They must also examine the bad in their own society and look to improve that. You can not ignore that.

@@ExploreXplore394 don’t bother spitting that race jargon at me. The truth is clear to anyone who has a baseline understanding of people in America. America as a whole will never be the racist country you claim it to be. Assuming we’re talking about America. It squandered racism long ago. I had my fair share of opportunity to be racist but in the end because common principles to be a good person in America do very much exist me and the majority of American people learn that bad characters are not limited to one race and that an entire race cannot be condemned over the distasteful actions of the few. Character and how you carry yourself will get you anywhere you want to be in America no matter what race you are! That’s a fact! Furthermore let’s not mistake culture with race which is what your doing. Individuals have a right to have their own opinion towards any culture. I personally have the cultures I do like and the ones I don’t. Cultures are inclusive to all races and most Americans understand that therefore leaving racism unjustified!

❤❤❤ Yes, with all that being said, we do not abuse our missionaries. Our missionaries are taken good care of when on their missions, and it breaks my heart for her to tear down the church because if her bad experience. It is awful that she needs to tell her story in the light that she is saying that it reflects on the entire missionary program in our church. It is quite ridiculous even the way she is talking about her sensuality. I just have never ever experienced what she has. Never.

I think that part of the problem here is that too few people understand or know enough about the illness of depression. Mission president training needs a thorough education on mental illness and signs to look for.

And having the age change - so many young girls probably thought going on a fun adventure

This is feels like the mormon corp's principles, policies and procedures are higher or above any human feeling, physical or mental conditions. I thought the Savior Jesus Christ came to assist the sick and the underserved.

@Keith Reeves I totally agree. Depression is very real. I began showing symptoms when I was 16. I had terrifying panic attacks and thought my heart was failing. Thankfully, my mother realised what was happening and got help for me. I lost my beloved younger brother to suicide. He had been diagnosed with depression a few months earlier but didn't want to tell anybody. That broke our hearts, but it reminded me that I was very fortunate to receive help. I've listened to enough Mormon Stories Podcasts to know that mission presidents are woefully inadequate when it comes to the mental health of young missionaries. I often wonder how many took their own lives because there wasn't anybody to guide them. That's very dangerous.

If you want to get real LDS experience & feel the love and faith of the members, live in the mission field. I grew up in Texas & moved to Provo in High School. For me, it wasn't the same. The members in Utah are great, but I always felt like an outsider. The gospel is true no matter where you go, but to really feel the love of the Saints, you need to live in the mission field.

What faith are you currently practicing? Looking for new path.

@@lorijohnston7795 Try the SDA faith.

Just read the Holy Bible. It’s all you need. That’s the issue with denominations in church’s. They get into their own ideas when literally everything you need is written in his word. Find a church that doesn’t worry about the “type of Christian” you are and find a church that just wants to serve Jesus as close as possible by reading his word and following his teaching. Mormons and Jehovah witnesses make everything so complicated for no reason. I did get invited to a LDS church this Sunday by a few young men and I’m going to go to see what it’s all about. But I know they arnt teaching scripture all the time and are out to lunch on a few ideas.

No the problem is she is unconscious. If she was truly conscious, she would never go on RU-vid and tear down a church that has supported her her entire life with lies. Half of the things that she is talking about is just not true. Please do your own research.

Corporate businesses do that with in house therapists

Estamos passando por detalhes que um humano pode sentir, atalhos que o inimigo vai usar-nos para nos distanciar do ponto fulcral do Evangélio de Cristo. É muito importante pensar em ensinamentos de Cristo e não seguir fanatismos. Os ensinamentos são divinos... Fora disso são pressões que podem nos levar tirar o FOCO em CRISTO e teremos medos de julgamentos. Faz tornar nossa Fé fragil! Cuidado,cuidado. Joseph Smith não foi perfect e Abraão tbém não foi. E nenhum profeta é perfeito...e será. Por favor.the Vamos caminhar juntos na Fé... não é suposto ser facíl.

May I suggest that you let go of the regret. In kind of a backward way I served a mission and and for the longest time beat myself up for going home at the 18 month mark instead of 24. Funny thing is I did nothing wrong. I just got caught in the period when the Church reduced the mission from 24 mo to 18 mo 1984. I felt so much guilt.....Like I had failed to be a "Full time Missionary" As one of my friends today would say..."Ain't that some 💩"

As a zone leader on my mission and the second oldest missionary (24years old) I was in my mission because I wanted to be there but I knew an Elder that did not want to be there. I told him he should go home, nobody should be there just because their uncle, brother and dad served. At the close if my mission I was surprised to see him. He said I was the only person who gave him permission to leave. He stayed because it then became his decision. I am now 68 and have a strong testimony but I have met every doubt with study. I do not judge those whose experience has led them in a different direction as I was a drug addict and alcoholic prior to my church mission. May God bless all my Heavenly Father's children as they meet the challenges of human life.

A missionary in our branch was so "not into serving" you won't see him smile. Until one day, while we were having a social activity, I saw him smiling and mingling and eating local foods with gusto. Apparently he had a talk with my son who jwas inactive for 8 years and who had just came back to Church. My son told him to return home if that is what he really wanted. He ended up wanting to stay. Sometimes what was needed is to be listened to.

We absolutely need to stop the coercion! These young adults are suffering! They would be better off backpacking in Europe and traveling and coming home whenever they come home.

Yes,her spirit is a wonderful gift to the body of Christ,she is very influenced by the holy Spirit CONVICTING people to be better. Jesus Christ is the best love you can have,give,and be apart of.

I have become friends with many of them. And I will never express how I am against it, but I will always be there for them. They are very sweet people or the most part. The young missionaries. And some of the things I have witnessed have been scary. Such as them going around video calling men that act 'strange' and having to have lessons in person. I know for a fact that some of the people are definitely prvertd. They think that showing skin or anything is making people aroused? Not quite. Presenting attractive young and innocent girls is the ticket for a lot of em. Thank you for posting this comment.

I speak with Mormons.but I remain in my opinions.They are very genuine,good,onest,helpful.friends at last.

I'm jealous you had such good promises in your Patriarchal blessing. I had mine when I was 16 and was only promised trials and tribulations. And that's if I remain worthy! Well I still had all those disasters no matter what my worthiness was.

Yes, please do. The nonmembers who talked with me as a missionary were the ONLY ones who didn't guilt me for struggling on a mission. They were my rock. Shout out to my Muslim upstairs neighbors in my last area; they kept me going

I am in school to be a therapist, and I can tell you that would be considered highly unethical and reportable behavior.

@@jamesoneil1388 I don’t think that’s true. They just don’t know they are in a cult yet.

🤣😂

Hello serving a mission is a choice that you make and you shouldn't be forced into things that you are not comfortable at?it's a no no! and the church name is not Mormon it's the church of Jesus christ of latter day saints as from today and it continues on

@@simpsonkauri2224 Oops! I forgot the churches correct pronouns, my apologies. :) I hope one day you’ll find the truth and learn to be truly happy and not what the church tells you is happiness. Have a nice day ;)

@@roysmith7087 hey friend, Everybody is born with the sexual orientation they will have for life. Imagine if someone tried to “convert” you to be attracted to the wrong gender- it wouldn’t work! The people you are attracted to are simply who you are attracted to. When you fail to acknowledge the words and dispositions of those who you oppose by slapping on the label of “sin”, you are ignoring the humanity of people who can advocate for themselves. Roy, you have no right to use your holy book to make broad statements about anyone’s lifestyle, you’re trying to witness to people in RU-vid comments. No amount of faith will change the way people are born. No amount of faith will make it less painful to live inauthentically in gender or sexual orientation. No amount of faith will suicide rate in Utah (clearly). Please do not speak to me about something you clearly do not care about. I am not the one.

Please understand that I'm not trying to be insulting or be the ultimate judge on this. I see things in both sexes that are admirable but I'm not bisexual or gay or pansexual or even polyamorous. The Bible says that these things are sin. I have friends in various types of relationships I have friends that are bisexual I have friends that are that have been openly gay I tell them all the same thing this is what the Bible says it doesn't make you any less of a friend to me. It doesn't mean that I put them down I just tell them look at the end of Life as we know it physically there's going to be a judgment I'm not trying to be some high and mighty I've been through stuff of my own I've been a rape victim by a homosexual man. I've seen so many lives wrecked and destroyed by this type of lifestyle and wonder why people continue to live like this. I'm not saying that a person should end their life because of it I'm just saying that that these are things that I've seen and the suicide rates from them and the things that I have witnessed personally in my own life in my own family that are that have been destructive. These are things that I don't want to see people go through. These are the things that I would like to see personally and scripturally for the world to have straightened out and and I don't know really how to if you're stuck in this I hate to say stuck we choose what we want sometimes when we choose we don't go with the will of God. When we go against the will of God we step outside of his Blessing we step outside of his influence. That's when bad things happen to us that's when we walk in addiction that's when we walk in sexual sin. The the liking and admiration for people can be there but it doesn't mean that it's a sexual thing. It doesn't mean that you have to be attracted so deeply and call it a sexual orientation when it's simply an admiration of this type of person. When I see a decent looking dude I can acknowledge that but I'm not attracted to him sexually do you understand what I'm going to say when I see a beautiful girl beautiful woman I see a nice looking dog it doesn't mean that I want to go out in procreate with them. What we do in life is what we set our boundaries for. We said our boundaries for the things that we'll put up with in life. We said our boundaries for the things that we want for ourselves whether it's affirmation affection attention connection with other people. As human beings we want relationships, but let them be appropriate and good and caring and loving and decent and moral and and upright relationships according to the plan that God has for us I'm not trying to be down on anybody I'm just saying this is what the word of God says and you want to say about my my holy book ass like this is the standard by which I live and yet you tell me don't come at me like this I'm not the one but when God says do this or don't do this and yes I am trying to witness I openly admit this I witness to everybody that I that I come across to try and present a facet of Jesus in my own life to them so that they can either accept it or they'll reject it the decision is still in their hands you might dismiss me as as this is utter crap and I have no right to say what I see written in the Bible if you don't accept that then look at what the what it says about this in the Quran or in I can't really say philosophy because philosophy is such a broad spectrum thing but in most holy writings for a man to go to another man or for a woman to go to another woman is not acceptable according to the law of God. At that point when it becomes a God thing it doesn't matter what I believe what I say is it's according to the word of God according to the will of God. You might be one of the best people I've ever met but if you're outside of the word in the will of God it still falls to you on the judgment Day to account for the things that you've done in life I say this in love I say this hoping that you will please understand that I don't judge you that's just that's God's place I'm not a god I'm just a human being with a heart to see that people don't end up in a bad place at the end of time. When we take our last breath and step into eternity in the presence of God, this is where I want you to be right with God this is how I measure the the things of my life against the word of God that that guides me. I want you to have that same hope in Jesus Christ and that he is your savior that he is leading you down a right path that he is the first and foremost thing that you think of in the morning when you wake up and then turn to your family and realize that you're all here because there was a presentation of the Gospel somewhere in your life and you accepted it that is my deepest desire in life and then I worry about me I've been through a lot of stuff I'm going through a lot of stuff now it still doesn't change my desire to present God to people and say this is the way that God says to live. I'm not trying to be condescending. I'm not trying to be judgmental. And I'm not trying to tell you that you have no right to your own opinion. If we didn't have a choice then where would we have the concept of sin you can either have the center you can have the righteousness God wants us to live a right life to be humble and to walk with him and learn his ways and walk in his ways. And Jesus says if you love me keep my commands that's how we show we love God we do what he says it doesn't matter how we feel about things or what we think is best for us it's what God says is right for us because he has our best interest in heart ❤️ the scriptures say for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life it goes on to say for a sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. God cares and loves for you so much that he gave his best his only part of him brought into this world as a human being to show us the way to absolutely show us as a human being ourselves the way to live. God led by example. God led by example not like a prophet speaking his word through another man but he came in a physical flesh form to show us how to live how to treat each other how to be loving and kind and generous and and caring about each other and to love God first and foremost above all things to love God. And I am sorry if I have missed the mark on bringing this to you and failed at the Gospel of Jesus Christ for being outspoken about how the Bible colors my world. It is my duty to God to present this like this and tell you that God loves you and I care about you enough to present the gospel to you so that you don't meet that second death after the death that we're already appointed to because we will hit the end of our life and when this life ends when we take our last breath on this Earth and enter into the presence of God will be judged for the good or for the bad that we've done in this life and I'm hoping that by faith through grace of God and end belief and trust in Jesus in your life that God will say well done good and faithful servant enter into my rest and that you'll have that peace thereafter. If you don't believe then there's nothing that I can say beyond what I've said all I can say is that in my heart for humanity I love you but in in the scriptures God also loves you but he's also a righteous and just God and must judge sin and that sin if it's not changed up to where you're not doing this sin anymore he it will judge against you because he is a holy and righteous God first and foremost above All things that's why I sent Jesus to take our place as the Lamb of God as the sacrifice that takes away our sin that all you have to do is believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and then walk in his ways you turn from that sin and walk in God's ways and that is your salvation your faith shows in the things that you do because you're doing them because you're turning from sinful ways to follow God's ways and trusting and believing that God's ways are best for you. What I say is on is by the word of God please don't think that I'm judging you the word of God has specific boundaries and specific things that God's trying to protect us from as human beings as his creation as his masterwork of over all creation we were supposed to be the ones that that had the choice to choose good or evil if we didn't have the choice then we're in is the the ability to have the faith to have the the connection the family relation with God the Father you know the Bible says that that we're either children of the world or children of God but we have the choice which side we want to be on.

@@roysmith7087 you don’t need to write a whole book to justify your homophobia. Just stop being homophobic. Condemning people for things they cannot change is inherently evil and not productive in any sense.

@@roysmith7087 - Writing a comment of that length is clearly an attempt to justify your blatant judgmental & homophobic beliefs. You can try & spin it all in some “nice” way, but it doesn’t make you any less of a homophobic & arrogant person, nor does it make you “nice.“ Being gay isn’t a choice nor a “lifestyle” either. Sexual orientation at its core is most definitely not a choice. It is inherently part of who an individual is, just as you being heterosexual is. It’s innate. Within sexual orientation, whether it be straight, gay or bisexual, a person can choose who they think is attractive, who they might want to date, etc. However, a person’s sexual orientation simply isn’t a choice to be easily changed nor should anyone have to, so please stop speaking as if you’re some holier than thou “sin” expert. There is so much that is inaccurate in what you wrote. Anyone can cherry-pick verses from the Bible to support their viewpoint. Do you know how many times & in how many different languages the Bible was translated before it ended up in its final form? Do you realize the number of contradictions in the Bible? Do you know that the verse in Leviticus that says “a man shall not lie w/ another man” didn’t originally say that? It was altered in translation & originally said a “man shall not lie w/ a boy.” It was meant to refer to the sexual abuse of children, to pedophilia, which is not at all what homosexuality is. It’s irresponsible & dangerous to continue speaking lies & spreading misinformation, so again, please have some humility & also maybe try not talking so much & start listening, as you clearly have a lot to learn about this topic.

Most people see the humanity in the LGBT community! But I am truly sick of their movement! Rainbows, parades, and storytime with drag queens! Teaching inappropriate sex material to very young kids! TRANS teachers trying to trans our children! It's all cause some pervert is trying to make pedophilia a sexual preference! I think they are taking their movement to far! If you think I am crazy, are you OK with the Balenciaga ads that have kids holding teddy bears dressed in BSM? Yeah, wake up! Listen to Dave Ruben? I not crazy!

Having a conscience is a horrible thing..

Just read, "no man knows my history," and you'll be able to cut the strings.

@@kevinknox9543 thanks! I will

@@kevinknox9543 that is about as convincing as the CES letter. Over exaggerated and sensationalized. If you are looking for reasons to leave the Church you'll find them but under close examination they don't hold up and fall apart.

​@@jackburton307 Why is "Having a conscious a horrible thing."? Did you mean "conscience"? And are you being sarcastic or at least facetious or are you being serious? Thanks. Take care and God bless you and yours.
