The Question Mormons Can't Answer 

Same!! I had to go through the humiliation and shame of excommunication but thankful at the same time.

@sarahpinho1114…..I left January 2019…..pretty sure they are a church built on lies……but there is that 1% in the back of my cult brain-washed mind, that keeps bugging me…..making me constantly ask myself, if I was right to leave? I hate it! I just want to put it behind me once and for all! The programming must run DEEP!

Same.

By the power of John, I was compelled, LOL

Not all did because of John. There are many other antimos that helped too.

@@bewitched3912 lol 👍🏽

@@theatreguy1850 are you saying Mormons can’t think for themselves and have to have someone like John telling them what to do? If that’s true, that Mormon brainwashing is stronger than I thought 😳

Haha. Basic doctrinal knowledge fail. Which actually means no outer darkness for you. You’ve failed to qualify.

Run and don't look back. Dating a woman in the church is a recipe for disaster. She only wants you for children. I learned that the hard way.

You have?

@@CarahBurrell figured out it was RU-vid, I talk to much. However there are two postings that have never shown up, why is that?

cult will not let you leave with your dignity

I am compelled to agree with your observations

Don't insult Buddhism it's definitely Not a cult n closer to a philosophy. Islam is not a cult. There are Eastern religions that are absolutely Not cults. Many blessings.

@@lorinapetranova2607 true that. I tend to like Hinduism due to it's mathematical idea of the age of this earth and mankind. Makes better sense to me, at least

@@lorinapetranova2607Islam not a cult? You’re kidding right? Absolute control over how a person lives. Sex out of wedlock, even if raped can lead to being stoned or drowned. Only if a woman of course. There’s no punishment for the man. Islam is very similar to Mormonism. Patriarchal and shaming. Culty as culty can be.

I'd actually say they made a pretty good argument there. Cults are entirely self-serving so it would make no sense for one to donate to a "competitor."

@@LindyLime sometimes it can be self-serving to donate to another group, especially if it improves the cult's reputation or helps deter criticism. The cult I was in showed respect for a limited number of similar groups.

@@Clara-eu3mp Maybe, but I don't really see much similarity between Krishna's and LDS, overall. Of course, there is common ground across almost all world religions. Messiah figures are common, one God common, a Trinity is common, flood stories, prayer, revelation or "enlightenment." Many things.

Mormons don't believe in hell, so we don't frighten people into staying.

I sometimes go to the Anglican Church. It's a very gentle faith.

We don't even freaking believe in hell (not in the way other churches do)

I was an active Anglican until age 42, and it certainly was pretty gentle. 35 years an atheist, I still enjoy singing hymns and am friends with several retired vicars

@@LindyLime True. I think it was about 30 years ago we retreated from that belief.

Enslavement of Apache children. Documented. Congressional Records.

And don't forget the green poop... That's how I can always tell that ducks have been hanging around is by all of the green poop that has matriculated to the bottom of my shoes!

contracts lds sign and date them too

It's important to remember that satan is a defeated foe.

You might be surprised to learn that there's just as much evidence for this Satan and "the end is near" nonsense as there is for the truthfulness of the book of Mormon.

@@SpartacusMA1 it's essential to be clear about one's own biases of belief that could distort, twist, or mis-interpret evidence based on a perception which limits possibility, even lending to cognitive dissonance; when looking at things scientifically, according to a "scientific method", and BE*ing a scientist. 🌠🌠🌠 If we are aiming for revealing TRUTH. The kind of "Umtimate TRUTH" that cannot be corrupted or distorted or change in its most essential elements and essence, no matter how much Fire of our skepticism and questioning, and testing, we put upon it and subject it to. Seeking for that which is most 'Noble'. We have to proof it 🙌❤️‍🔥🙌 To respond more specifically to your comment.. I have seen just as much evidence that we are likely very confused about what we think we know, what the stories say/mean, and even, what the words actually say/mean; as that we don't even know what we are looking at, or what False Authority and False Power "are"/"is", and REALLY means.. for us all, the Earth, this Life, and all which is Sacred, Holy and Divine. 🙏🌹🕊

@@aerinauraviel6590 you said exactly jack shit. I would think that if you were a scientist you'd be using clear language instead of Deepak word salad. Clarifying biases isn't very useful if you can't even communicate clearly.

@@SpartacusMA1 😂💦 You just proofed my point with your bias and baseless accusations.✌️ Sounding as though you took some kind of personal offense which then you used to justify a kind of attack against me, personally. Anyone can name-call, it doesn't "scream" intelligence. Quite the opposite, in fact. Peace

They don't kick you out for questioning and certainly not the whole family.

​@@NancyBrown-xw8hgif a whole family is against Kirtand McConkie lawyers defending child sex abusers, sure they would 😅

@@NancyBrown-xw8hgthey obviously do as per this persons comment. There is so much inconsistency among different wards/stakes. What one is exed for another isn’t. Look at Charlie Bird and his husband. Other gay married people are exed, not them, they have callings. There is definitely less ex ing nowadays because of dwindling church numbers.

​@@AS72831 Ive been a member for 65 years, a whole family does not kit ex-ed. Now the whole family might walk out holding hands, that does happen, but they weren't kicked out.

notbing needed restoring what purpose Jesus coming 2000 years ago?

The letter didn't exist to represent the sound, but the sound absolutely did exist, though not in every language.

They always defend child molestors with special revelation of an un-named apparition with flaming sword to convince grown-assed married men to shag teenagers was somehow godly is pure horseshit.

That's not what the temple teaches

@@katiecrozier3179 We don't even believe in a hell, spirit prison yes. A person will go there for a time to pay for their own sins, not a pleasant experience I'm told. Then they will be resurrected and obtain a glory, they will not enter God's presence but they will be happy. God is not an ogre, he has no desire to see his children suffer.

Isn't it amazing, all the disinformation being thrown about.😵‍💫

I guess you haven't heard about apostates. 🤔

​@@katiecrozier3179since Hitler was posthumously baptized six times, whatever point you wanted to make is moot

You don't get to declare your religion is the same as everyone else as a shield. None of your references are controlling to the point of those other religions prescribing underwear. Plenty of members have judged non members and Christians to hell or the Terrestrial and telestial kingdoms.

the rules actually are different. pay to play, for one. those temple ordinances that have had to change because people weren't comfortable, and the "anything that isn't faith promoting is anti- mormon, so you can't look at it!" rule.

@@EchoesfromtheTabernacle nope, Just hats, face coverings, and for priests, daily outerwear. Also, you can hardly call either of those “hell”, as the word is usually used and she knows it, but uses it for shock factor. Also think an interview to go to the Temple is rough? How about going to confession every week, and telling a priest everything you did wrong, and then given a “punishment”of prayer for it, based on his discretion. Also, this is taught to the children as well, and they are expected to do the same, Each week. So yes, as I said to argue that the LDS church is somehow different is being ignorant of the similarities between other faiths.

@@chlyri interesting argument on the “pay to play”….never have I seen a collection plate on a stick shoved in front of someone before sacrament was given, as a matter of fact I have accompanied a friend to Catholic Church many times this week, and From Ash Wednesday, the Thursday mass, And the Friday Stations of the Cross service, and Saturday Vigil all had point which in-front of the group, you “had to give”, as a matter of fact they even gave a out a bowl for you to fill at home and bring back at the end of lent. As far as “non-faith promoting”, the actual suggestion is to just stay away from the negative “worldly” nonsense that is prevalent in today’s world. How many business leaders, or secular therapists have suggested to “stay off social media”? Or “don’t watch the news”? Are they trying to control your thoughts or just trying to help stop the cycle of BS feed to people today? So change to help people “feel more comfortable” is bad? Weird concept, so I suppose again the Catholics should ditch the English masses and go back to Latin a Language few speak in daily life. Also, should lose the little “worship band” that most have now instead of a choir? These were all things added to make folks “more comfortable”. What is or is not socially acceptable, changes, and with that what people think is appropriate changes.

If the rules are no different from other Christians, then why would the LDS consider itself the only true church?

When I was a member some people said I belonged to a cult, and now I see why they said that. Most of the world can see the red flags, but it's really hard to see it when you're in.

by what standard are you judging what the best cult is? have you been in several??

Keep cultin. Keep chanting silly phrases in the temple. Nobody cares.

@@jessea2871 Well in my wonderful cult if I get sick dinners show up at my door. If my hubby were to lose his job we would get free food and they'll pay my electric bill. I have a ministering brother who comes and takes my garbage out to the street for me and in the winter he shovels the snow. Once a week my teenagers would disappear to go to some wholesome activity. In the summer they go to camp and have a lot of fun. We have wonderful Christmas parties and in the summer we have a big barbeque. We can use the building for free, weddings and funerals free. The Bishop doesn't even charge a fee, at funerals even the food is free. If I move a group will help me pack up the truck. They have a wonderful education system called pathways where people can get a degree from BYU-Idaho online, at very little cost. We have an employment center where they help you find a job or start a business. There are lots of opportunities to serve others an we get together once a week to sing and praise the Lord. The greatest blessing is the peace we find in our lives.

Jehovah's witnesses disagree with you.
