WHAT is the Strengthening Church Members Committee? 

@nemo - great video! One callout is I think many in the post Mormon community are misinterpretting the social listening job post. These are common corporate marketing jobs. Basically it’s high level analysis of social media sentiment using common marketing tools (e.g. church is a corporation)

"Secret combinations"

YES, please please please do a video on the September Six! Many thanks for another great stream.

It's too bad they didn't think me important enough to keep an eye on. Since discovering that the church was built on lies, I've lived up to my Patriarchal Blessing's promise of leading "many people to the truth." Too bad for them, the truth isn't on their side. I'm proud to have been an example to numerous friends, family, and many others who have told me over the years that my example of leaving due to my dedication to the truth helped encouraged them to leave the Mormon church themselves. I don't take full credit for anyone else leaving; honest introspection comes foremost from within. But I am happy to know that my example and my words encouraged others in their own journeys out of the trap of Mormonism.

They're supposedly always watching, but they never write, they never call, and they don't seem to want to strengthen my faith at all! 😂

This is why I submitted my resignation. Through Quitmormon, the letter says not to contact me about anything to do with the Church.

To SCMC. Please leave us alone. I don't like sneeks. And you can tell my bishop that too. From an old lady member in Utah. Keep up the good work Nemo. Sending you a bit of cash and big hugs and hearts.💕

Every day that passes I'm happier and happier that I am no longer a member of the church.

0:37 “don’t ask me, the literal spokesman for media relations for the church, a question about the church”

A church so confident on the outside yet deeply insecure within.

This is scary and embarrassing. Manipulative, dishonest, bureaucrats.

I loved Holland when I was an active member. I thought the world of him…this small clip, on top of all of the “musket” talks, has left me completely bewildered and disappointed. His deflection and straight up twisting of truth is crazy to me. He’s simply not being honest and forthright. To say he doesn’t know anything because he’s not on that committee???? He’s an apostle!!! He knows and he lied. He would have been much better off just saying “that’s not a subject I wish to discuss”

I'm leaving a comment just to help the algorithm, hopefully. Loved the work, Nemo!

Oooof this is terrifying. Before this video, I didn't even know this committee existed! It sounds very unconstitutional, as well as something straight out of a dystopian story. Thanks for this video, and informing me that I'm being watched 👀

If the LDS church is "the only true church" why are they even concerned about those of us who are wise enough not to believe all the lies? I mean, really!

There is so little information about the inner workings of the church and they always act so offended when they are asked about it.

Big Brother (and maybe a Sister or two, unpaid of course) really IS watching. Super dystopian!

My LDS mother got so paranoid about this a couple of years ago that when she went for her temple recommend she told her bishop - when asked the question of association with groups - that I was now an ex Mormon and therefore fell under that category - association by being her child.

He is British member and British members of the church are know to have more critical thinking skills and thus are seen by the church as more spicey. The British have cute accents but are spicey.

I didn't know that LDS had their own division of the thought police. Just wow

Perfect timing. This was so needed today!

I think we should have some sort of notice about the data the church collects about us, some sort of terms and conditions

I think we have a tendency to assume the worst from any church organizations (not without good reason). But I think it's important to remember that church can collect data on its members, be informed of potential schisms, and use data to formulate plans that affect a variety of church goals and procedures. The main issue I have behind the SCMC like many of the church segments are 1. Lack of transparency 2. Lack of consent I think this sort of organization could have benefits if say, a sexual predator posts about how to use youth activities to get close to children, an organization or individuals are intentionally using the name and authority of the church for unauthorized activities, or something similar. It should not be used for activities and voices that criticize the church unless espousing false claims of authority (ie Elder Ballard said you should do x, y or z - I'm looking at you Tim B.), be used to get non public information, or intend to manipulate the private lives of its members and doctrinal adherence. Spiritual autonomy should be respected. I'm curious if there's been a study of how many members have received church discipline based on reporting from the SCMC, and how much of that reporting was done fairly, accurately and appropriately

How nice it would be if the church was transparent!

They are creepy either way. In either case, you know you are being spoken about at correlation meetings and never spoken to about anything that they say about you.

Yes for a Sept 6 podcast

The creepiest lyrics children are required to learn: “Teach me ALL that I MUST DO, To live with him some day.”

From Danites, to Avenging Angels, to the Strengthening Church Members Committee...... all are surrounded in the same lies. Same excuses. The only reason the brethern create these "secret" combinations is to protect their cult from the truth getting out and people figuring out the PSYOP the church has been running since the beginning.

If you have the truth, you have nothing to hide.

Thank you Nemo!

September Six is such a turning point in church history, I think Quinn's story alone deserves a video

You'd think with all those resources and surveillance, they would be able to intervene with the apostasy happening within the prepper movements (Chad Daybell and others). Maybe that's a different committee.

I believe my bishop acted on this church information. I got released and never called again. Nemo, can we find out what they have?

Thanks for watching the videos SCMC. We appreciate the algorithm spike. I wonder what the turnover rate is with them? lol.

I liked the comparison to the "Stasi". They also thought they could save the GDR, but we know the results...! Greetings from Leipzig, East Germany.

Yes, would definitely like a September 6 video.

Nemo is killing it. This warms my cold apostate heart. I even got some light back to my eyes.

Ok, so it was a few years ago now. I had been corresponding with Bobby Gilpin in the UK who had been doing some lectures to Christian groups about Mormonism. Bobby included a summary of story of exiting Mormonism. After some time I caught up with Bobby and he told me about an email exchange he had with someone who provided him private information about me that only a Bishop would know. This person who provided the information, presented negatively as character assignation, was meant to provide pressure on Bobby to remove my story. The person pretended to know me referring to me as Mike. I am not a Mike but a Michael and no one, no friends for example call me Mike but this person pretending to not know me and harm me did. I had Bobby send me the email and I tried with an acquaintance to trace the email address. It was. It traceable. Neither was it contactable. It seems that someone had both been monitoring Bobby’s website and taking action to manipulate it.

Omg…”faithful members are paying for their own surveillance,” Sad but true

Super Sleuth Nemo!

This video's unofficial sponsor. 😂😂👌

Among your finest, Nemo. Thank you.

"Ambush" = OMG, you caught me (us)! Videos like this are why I subscribe and make a monthly donation. Forty plus years of leadership service showed me there is so much to love about the Gospel, yet so much pain and suffering willfully and knowingly inflicted by institutional leadership doctrine and policies.

Ah yes, we can leave the church, but they can’t leave us alone… 🤦🏻‍♀️ I love when those interviews come up, when I get to see church leaders squirm with an uncomfortable question, and first it’s “oh… well… ummmmmm… maybe it exists…???” Then it’s “Ohhhhhh, yeah… THAT committee… but ummm… uhhhh… I’m not really sure…” Priceless 😂

Holland lies with appallingly earnest FACILITY, even as he shakes his head and stumbles over his mouthful of tongue. [For some reason, I am just struck with the thought, "It's as though m. r. ballard never existed." How strange.]

Excellent work on this , Nemo. I just subscribed to this.

I love your videos, topics,and commentary. My only complaint is i wish the videos were longer! Keep up the great work! I really wish there were more non-American stories more often as well.

The Purge meets the SCMC (strengthening church members committee). But instead of one day of death and crime a year it's now 365 days of church discipline and excommunication. We are living the movie adaptation.

Elder Holland said: “To protect predatory practices of polygamists.” Elder Holland did NOT say: “To protect AGAINST predatory practices of polygamists.” So….. did he just admit they’re predators , or….

Elder Holland speaks with forked tongue. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Police State.

My vote is that you do indeed make a Sep 6 video

This has been on my mind lately. Thank you

Go Nemo, Go 🎉 LOVE your content! Thank you for helping me wake up!! Your content helped me more than I can say to leave the church! My life has never been happier ❤ Much love to you 🤗

Great research as usual…..have you attempted to reach out to John Sweeney for an interview of his experience on this trip? That would be interesting.

Nemo, I would love to see a video on the September 6 and I just got that horse T-shirt from your store. It’s excellent thank you for all your hard work we appreciate it. 🙏🏽❤

One would think this group could help with peds? Maybe even bad bishops? Maybe.....

I no longer pay tithing to the lds Brighamite church, so I have extra money to help support causes like yours. I'll be signing up to support you monthly.

Around 5 or 6 years ago I heard about this committee for the first time because a friend of mine told me she was in it.

This sounds like elementary school. Telling a teacher of a classmate that disagrees with the teacher LOL you would think after leaving 7 years ago and after being a Bishop in the Church I wouldn't be surprised, but I still am. Thanks Nemo. Keep shining a light on the bullshit !

Hi SCMC! Explain to us again how TSCC is not a cult?

Please do a video on the September Six. I was at BYU at the time but no one ever mentioned it. I had to leave Utah to learn about them.

Definitely should change the name of the church to Church of Big Brother : question which big brother would that be ??? It's obvious to authentic Christians ✝️.

Yes! Please do a video on the September six.

Yes for sep 6th. Hello to SCMC. Keep up the good work Nemo.

September 6 video please. Really enjoy your content, keep it up👍🏼

Russell M Nelson is still chairman of “The Strengthen and Lengthen My Member Committee.” 😂

It really doesn't matter if they excommunicate you anyway they don't have the authority from God to react on anything.

Yes! Sept 6

While preparing the documentary John Sweeney came to an ex Mormon group and asked I have an interview with an apostle tomorrow what question should I ask. I was in that ex-mormon group and suggested he ask about the strengthening the members committee to him my. I am also briefly in that Mormon candidate documentary

HI SCMC!! 👋

Great video. It is ironic that D Todd Christofferson was, or still is, a member of the SCMC. He was a law clerk to the US district court judge that oversaw the Watergate hearings and together they were the first people to listen to the Watergate tapes. I wonder what he learned from that experience that he carried over to the SCMC?

Hi, y'all! Start my file!

1984 in a nutshell, just more subtle

Your content is incredible!

Creepy clipping! They spend more resources protecting the name of the church than on the poor, widows, and fatherless ... 👀

Brother Big Brother is watching and listening.

The statement says “the committee doesn’t make judgements or penalties”. They just forward info to bishops who do. I didn’t kill the person. The bullet from my gun killed the person. Love church logic.

I would like video on the Sept 6. You are so informative

Nemo you rock, what a great job.

Funny how the church relies on missionaries knocking on doors and people being home, yet when someone knocks on their door, they are never home.

Robbin's on the SCMC doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Thanks Nemo!

Chesus loves secretly watching people and making sure they stay active and paying members is His church that is all about free agency. Duh!!

Weird Alma made a song about this

Excellent!! As usual

I love that I'm being watched by people I no longer pay...hi SMC goons😊

Fantastic! Well Done! Thank You!!

Memo, l would like to see you make a podcast on the September Six. I know nothing about it. Thank you for considering this idea.

Check out the terms and conditions on the LDS apps, that allow them access to all your other phone data and that it can be used against you in a disciplinary council. Crazy!

I would LOVE to see a Sept. 6 video, if you're willing to produce it.

When I was growing up in Idaho Falls, ID, I was a member of the 33rd Ward of the Idaho Falls West Stake. Elder Shane Bowen was my teacher's quorum instructor and Varsity Scout advisor during the two years that I was a teacher in the Aaronic priesthood. Knowing his outside job and church callings, him being on the committee only makes sense since he knows how to properly organize and gather data on people.

Great info! Thank you for all your research Nemo!

They are ridiculous. The obfuscation is insanity.

"[A] clipping service..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Could they choose a more Orwellian denial? So glad I'm not funding this anymore. Nemo, I would say that your not being excommunicated is due _completely_ to a frankly defiant Stake President. If you lived in Utah, I'll bet you would be out by now. 😄 BTW, I would love to see a history of the September Six!

Well.done nemo.❤

I love these short videos. But they are like an appetizer before the main meal. I want more on each of these short videos. You explain things so very clearly and make it easy to understand, so give us more on these topics!

September Six, yes please

CREEPY!

I like to call it the CIA, the Church Intelligence Agency.

Interesting
