Rock like the restored gospel ;)

there is no higher road when her YT shorts constantly try to make herself the victim when she isn't.

I sometimes want to shout this message from the mountaintops. Not only does it create "us" vs "them" but also "right" vs "wrong," "true vs false," and those judgements are cultural, whether anyone wants to believe it or not. I often find atheists more kind and generous than theists, because if you believe there is no judgement day, the time to feed the hungry, comfort the sick, love your neighbor is NOW. There will be no leveling the playing field in an afterlife. Don't be kind or generous because you're expecting a reward but because it is the right thing to do, period.

it is needed because you were taught what kindness, charity, compassion is and it all emanated from religious people creating those terms based on revelation from God and God's scripture.

@@harshitgarg419 all primates inherently have traits such as kindness, love, nurture, compassion, and empathy. Otherwise the species would go extinct. Female monkeys show all these traits to their new born infant monkeys. Destroying infant monkeys out of anger or negative traits would lead to extinction. Monkeys are not governed by any religion to obtain those positive traits.

Honestly, it’s not even “after” insults and bad faith statements are a chore part of their podcasts, from beginning to end, on a regular basis.

insult? exposing her position as unaffected by the church and how she thinks people will feel sorry for her?? sounds like the truth to me.

I feel like this could be a FERPA violation. I think fellow students are also held to this federal law.

calling out for what? using THEIR money as THEY see fit??

I love the humour approach. They are comedians and we need to laugh at some of the stuff going on.

It was an amazing response to their video.

they do know, she lives a comfortable live making money off bashing the true church.

@@harshitgarg419 they don't. Kwaku even said in the video he doesn't know her.

@@harshitgarg419 every church says they’re the true church🙄

Same

it isn't exhausting, when you have spent your entire free time engaging in sin, anything righteous will be tiring. maybe find joy the right way rather than drinking or hookups and you'll be fine if not blessed.

YES & thank you. I mean, fully my first thought was - have none of these Ward folk any self-awareness? Was the 'privileged mean girl' slam supposed to be ironic or s/thing ? 😆

It's kind of like - "wait, so your abusive husband supported you financially during your marriage? well, sorry that he hits you but you can't really complain, can you? get back in the kitchen and make dinner." That's my analogy, anyway. ;-)

yeah, if you benefit from a system you shouldn't be able to turn around and critique it.

@@aircastlearchitect Absolutely!! Great analogy!!

He's such an interesting character. I think in a lot of ways he is improving. He came off pretty way in the Middle Ground Mormons vs Exmormons video. He also fights with the super orthodox members. He's come a long way. But then he puts out crap like this ward radio video and shows there's a lot of old kwaku that's still there.

She handled it all with grace ❤

will buy that immediately

At the very least her new bio lol

I agree that it was insane of them to make the Antifa comparison, but it is equally insane to say that Antifa isn't an organization. They have chapters across hundreds of cities worldwide. Sure, they are not centralized like the LDS church is, but Antifa is absolutely an organization.

@@joshvaughan3403 I understand why you’d believe that (it’s certainly the idea presented by most politicians from center left to far right, and corresponding news orgs), but that’s not correct. Of course there are leftist and anti-fascist groups (not “antifa,” which at this point is mostly a pejorative used by the right to create a faceless bogeyman and discredit anti-fascist action) all over the US and around the world. There are also individuals who join with likeminded folks for protest actions and call themselves antifascists, who do the things that get reported in media (protest defense, wearing all black, punching white supremacists, blocking roads as a form of protest, etc.) that are credited to (or blamed on) “antifa,” but truly there is not a widespread “Antifa” organization. That’s a misconception that the right wing has very intentionally cultivated to foment the feelings of fear and disgust that tend to motivate their base, an effort that has encouraged members of that base to embrace increasingly fascistic ideas, candidates, and policies. And I agree with you @babywantsrevenge-antifascists are more welcoming than people tend to assume. If your values align with theirs they will see you as an ally, and maybe even as a super rad class traitor if you’re putting your privilege on the line to support others! Someone having a certain aesthetic or enjoying a certain kind of beverage or being from a cute cul-de-sac in the suburbs-that stuff is not relevant as long as you believe in standing up against the same oppressive systems.

@@joshvaughan3403it is not an organization, it is a movement. those are very different things.

This sounds a lot like a comment that an evangelical would make. The reality is evangelicals and Mormons are both the two most privileged and powerful groups in usa. They are the two groups that push policy and behaviour of oppressing, hurting& killing so many people. Neither are persecuted in this country, they just both like to deflect and tell themselves they are persecuted just because others stand up and stop y’all from persecuting others and commuting crimes. Like the treason and pedophila of Joseph smith, Brigham young , John Taylor etc. people asking y’all to stop discriminating, to stop pushing treason, is not you being “persecuted”

The irony of your persecution complex is that the only people that come close to actually persecuting Mormons is your evangelical allies. You persecute everyone together then act surprised when you’re next on their list.

I get what you are aiming for but that is similar to saying “Catholics are marginalized” meanwhile they are directly supported by the oldest, wealthiest, most powerful Christian institution in the world. The exact same can be said about Mormons. They might represent a minority religion but they and their values are absolutely not marginalized. The things Mormons most value are the status quo and have been for a he majority of this country’s history. Mormons have legislative power so deeply rooted it has and continues to influence our laws on a national level. They literally used that power to change another state’s laws around gay marriage- a demographic of some of the most marginalized people in human history. Amongst Christians, maybe you can say they were marginalized at one point but nobody is out here trying to stop Mormons from being Mormon. The criticism is for the way Mormons treat everyone else. Bothering people trying to enjoy their Saturday by knocking on their door and telling them their religious beliefs are incorrect and here’s why, or doing the same to strangers on their way to work, does not make you persecuted. It doesn’t earn you the right to complain about the injustice of Mormon marginalization. Even if we played pretend and agreed that Mormons have been marginalized because of their persecution- what is this persecution? Do people hate Mormons simply for existing as another branch of Christianity? Or is it because they have a very long history of stepping on other people’s toes, nefarious deception, coercion, corruption, conspiracy, systematic abuse of every kind, mass slaughter, blatant racism and exclusion, manipulation, and so so so much more.

@@neurotika Catholics have been historically marginalized, to some extent, but they still have made major inroads into the corridors of power (multiple Catholic presidents, multiple Catholic Supreme Court Justices) while Mormons by and large are still excluded from those spaces. I'm not going to bother responding to your argument that "actually this minority group deserves to be marginalized because it's actually bad." Some arguments, when taken to their logical conclusions, are capable of so much destruction that they don't even merit a response.

My first time here I don’t understand “privilege” as a 70 year old Mormon woman. raised in South Florida. I attended a school over 90% Cuban. I was so far in the minority I cannot describe it! What is privilege? Can people see you as having it when you don’t?
