Truth is your own experience, your own vision. Even if I have seen the truth and I tell you, the moment I tell you it will become a lie for you, not a truth. For me it was truth, for me it came through the eyes. It was my vision. For you, it will not be your vision, it will be a borrowed thing. It will be a belief, it will be knowledge--not knowing. And if you start believing in it, you will be believing a lie. Osho

We come into the world absolutely pure and innocent, absolutely clear, clean, but then the world starts writing on our consciousness, it starts conditioning us. It pollutes everybody, it contaminates, poisons. By the time a child is mature enough to think on his own the world has already destroyed him. He is already crippled, paralysed; the world has already taught him to use crutches and he has forgotten to use his own insight. He cannot stand on his own two legs; it has made him dependent. This is is the greatest conspiracy against humanity, to make every human being a cripple - not physically but spiritually. And the strategy that is used is to give you a mind so that your consciousness becomes covered with thoughts, desires, ambitions, Ego, ideologies, religion, politics, and a thousand and one things are there, layer upon layer. Your mirror-like consciousness disappears and then a man lives a life of indignity, a life which is absolutely graceless, a life of blindness, a life of utter dependency. And the only thing to be done is to undo whatsoever the society is done to you. So I don't teach purity, I don't teach morality - that is all nonsense. I only teach meditation so you can rid of the mind. The mind belongs to society and mediation belongs to you. With mediation you are absolutely free, and suddenly you start discovering your intrinsic treasures. And then begins a pilgrimage of joys, beauty, songs, celebrations. And it is an unending process. It gives you the vision of eternity. It gives you the certainty that you are immortal. Osho

I have to ask, is this a repost? Or am I experiencing a glitch in the matrix? Thank you for exposing experiences, of our brothers and sisters we may had not otherwise been privy. ✌

Spiritual Dependence My approach to your growth is basically to make you independent of me. Any kind of dependence is slavery, and the spiritual dependence is the worst slavery of all. I have been making every effort to make you aware of your individuality, your freedom, your absolute capacity to grow without any help from anybody. Your growth is something intrinsic to your being. It does not come from outside; it is not an imposition, it is an unfolding. All the meditation techniques that I have given to you are not dependent on me ― my presence or absence will not make any difference ― they are dependent on you. It is not my presence, but your presence that is needed for them to work. It is not my being here but your being here, your being in the present, your being alert and aware that is going to help. The whole past of man is, in different ways, a history of exploitation. And even the so-called spiritual people could not resist the temptation to exploit. Out of a hundred masters, ninety-nine percent were trying to impose the idea that, "Without me you cannot grow, no progress is possible. Give me your whole responsibility." But the moment you give your whole responsibility to somebody, unknowingly you are also giving your whole freedom. And naturally, all those masters had to die one day, but they have left long lines of slaves: Christians, Jews, Hindus, Mohammedans. What are these people? Why should somebody be a Christian? If you can be someone, be a Christ, never be a Christian. Are you absolutely blind to the humiliation when you call yourself a Christian, a follower of someone who died two thousand years ago? The whole of humanity is following the dead. Is it not weird that the living should follow the dead, that the living should be dominated by the dead, that the living should depend on the dead and their promises that `We will be coming to save you.´? None of them has come to save you. In fact, nobody can save anybody else; it goes against the foundational truth of freedom and individuality. As far as I am concerned, I am simply making every effort to make you free from everybody ― including me ― and to just be alone on the path of searching. Osho

So sad these mormons are so deceived. I truly believe they think that their doing the right thing and that they have good intentions. It's truly a cult, but a very wealthy cult with power and influence. Their beliefs contradict the Holy Bible, If you dig deep into their beliefs, you will find they truly believe they can become gods, which is the same lie Satan told eve in the garden Gen:3. I can go on and on. Sadly their doing a disservice to Peter saying he's a child of God is such a lie, Peter doesn't even believe Jesus is the Son of God, God in flesh. If you read 1John, you have children of God and Children of the devil. and all unbelievers are children of Satan. So Mormons are children of the devil, because they do the works of MEN, not the works of Jesus Christ, true faith is obedience to Jesus Christ, Hebrews 5:9. I pray for Peter and these mormons that they come to Salvation through the True Jesus Christ, not the false christ of the mormon church.

I agree.

That's fine an good, but if you're drawing any conclusions about Mormons based on that, I've got a bridge to sell you. Mormons are foremost concerned about appearances in all situations.

totally agree. Peter shows genuine curiosity about other people's lifestyles, religion, and beliefs. He meets them as fellow human beings and seems genuinely interested in their lives.

@@snowdroog1 well, tommc49 comments' is not about drawing conclusions about the Mormon, so hold your horses right there. He's just saying the way Peter conduct interviews in which seldom to find in media nowadays.

What I like best about this channel is how many of the married women featured here aren't even faithful to their own spouse. From the start, Jennifer was literally flirting with Peter and then at 54:27, she GAZED at him and then HUGGED him for almost five seconds until 54:32. Why do Gen X guys let their wife hug other men? If your wife loved you, then she wouldn't hug other guys at all

Same here. I discovered him with his first video about Titus! Been hooked ever since. Have a lovely quiet and warm weekend.❣

@@ande100 awesome!! Loved his Titus videos. Same to you! 😊

Glad y'all found Peter! Been watching him for a couple years. I just say the quality of content only gets better. Really enjoyed the Appalachian series.

@@zakarystanley9452 me too! Been binging all the older videos lately. ☺️

Me too. He’s the best. Honest guy with much integrity. No judgement; just shows us the truth of other people’s lifestyles. ❤❤

Thank you.

You sound friendly yourself!

thank you

The media is paid to intentionally spread poison. I think that's why Peter is successful. His journalism is so refreshing!

I agree. I love how Peter asks questions that aren't the same canned, boilerplate questions. They are different, insightful, and questions I WOULD ASK.

I don't know if anyone has told you this, but you can still come to church even if you don't believe. The fact that the video resonates goodness with you means the Spirit is speaking to you.

@@Freedom0rBust I sure he would feel good with other nice Christian folks outside of Mormonism the same. Mormons don’t hold the rights to the Spirit. 😂

Soft hug

My son is the same way. I love him and his family, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. What happens to people, after going through all that. It been very hard on his Dad and I. Incredibly sad.

I’ve lived in South Jordan, Taylorsville and now Midvale. Maybe it’s my choices but so far most are anti social, rude and love gossip. I’ve lost tw friend groups because some talked about a person while not around. I told that person to go tell them, not me. Both times I heard from NO ONE from either group again. Meaning they probably told the person I was the one saying something to cover their tracks. Non violent? Yea. But welcoming? No. I say morning to ppl walking and I get nothing or a shocked look. I was skating down a back road, first week here. A woman drives right next time to me. No horn, no slow down, nothing. I could touch her if her window was down. It shocked me and made me loose balance and fall. A skid about 30/40 feet downhill. She just kept driving. Weird how it’s a truly 180 from some ppl.

Ahhh yes some Saturday morning Peter adventures thank you so much! 🙏

@@irritatingtruth9121100% I’m invisible in our lds community. Walking down the street people turn their backs on us less than arms length away. The north Korea tour is what I watched here for sure.

@@shanejet2261 Too many unkowns to this anecdote, do you look at the sidewalk, do you become involved in your community. It is human nature especially today to keep to yourself and mind your own business. As members, we get criticized for being too friendly, annoying, not friendly enough, my favorite thing to do is become friends with someone without any discussion of religion up front unless it comes up. I'd rather get to know people for who they are first. There are good people in and out of every religion.

@@WranglermanLevi pretty typical response, it must be my fault. I’ve never experienced this anywhere I’ve lived. People were excited to knock on our door and study us when we first moved here 2 years ago. As soon as they learned we weren’t on the team crickets. Their loss

Are you sure?

@@friezenfan Yes, I'll second that. The emergency preparedness is for any emergency whether it be a natural disaster, a war (I had LDS friends in Ukraine when Russia invaded), or just something smaller like a blizzard or a power outage. I guess the second coming would be included in all that, but that's not the focus of why we do it

Yes, some people talk about it like it's in case of an apocalypse kind of thing, but the teachings are just that it's wise to be prepared. For myself, I didn't really have a 1 year or 2 year storage, but just having the mentality of having things on hand, buying in bulk (as long as you'll use it), & having a savings account -- that's just how I was raised. So that's what I did when I was living on my own. It was super helpful when I was laid off from my job. I had plenty of food in my pantry & general grocery items that I was grateful to have, as well as money in my savings account & no debt, so I wasn't as stressed out while looking for another job. I knew I could still pay my rent, I'd have food to eat, I could still buy some fresh foods within reason. (I just bought whatever produce was the least expensive & skipped pricier items, like cheese.) I knew everything would be ok. I also had the benefit of knowing I could ask my Bishop or my family if I needed help with food, but I'm happy that I didn't need to do that, because I was prepared. It's one of the many ways the gospel has brought peace to my life.

You’re wrong. The LDS church has ALWAYS been an apocalypse/end times church at its core. It’s literally in the name.

The church recommends 3 month supply and 72 hour bags.

Hear! hear! As a former Mormon who grew up in the church and hasn't been part of it in more than 20 years, I agree 100%! I have always felt it important to stand up for MY people and make sure they are fairly and accurately represented, even though I don't share their religions beliefs.

​@@kelliemcguire2592me too. A very well oiled machine with teachings I mostly live by

You shouldnt need a higher power to be a good person. Thats a excuse that you can then be a bad person if jesus isnt speaking to you. Just be a good person in general.....

Don’t know how anyone could call themselves catholic. The church is corrupt, full of perverse scandals. The Vatican itself is a disgrace… even going back to its inception it was a tyrannical government disguised as THE religious organization. Not allowing people to read the Bible by themselves, burning those they suspected to be aligned with the devil etc… to current day pedophilia that gets swept under the rug constantly. - You’d have to be turning a blind eye to these things that should otherwise have a sensible person with moral integrity denounce all affiliation with the Catholic Church.

Love it!!!!

If you receive a Witness that it is True it leaves very little wiggle room. That said catholicity. AMEN.

I always loved Utah and had a desire of living there. Though I was told by a few people that living in Utah as a non Mormon would be nearly impossible to make a living with a decent job and finding someone to marry that wasn’t a Mormon and that the people there would be very prejudice against you. I think that there’s truth to that and that used to be the case once upon a time but it sounds like a lot has changed. Great to see that.

You are an exactly right. Mormons keep to their own group even though they like coverts-for a time being. Lived in Utah., married a Mormon. I had been previously married for over 22 yrs., we were married in SL City temple. Manipulated. No longer LDS. I’m back to my original faith I was raised in. Mormon husband took advantage of so called Priesthood. My four children all grown up now also had bad experience. They do not support LDS Faith. To this day I have dear friends who are Mormon but I do not support this so called faith-a cult.

I am an Episcopalian and for curiosity sake while I was watching this video, I googled Episcopalian churches in Salt Lake City Utah and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many there were

@@m.e.7611 I'm sorry you felt manipulated. Having a relationship with our God source is key to our happiness. May he bless you abundantly with clarity and healings in your journey.

​@julievanderleest As a Utah native you really won't be ruined because of lack of faith in the Mormon church trust me. Actually it's been starting to become the opposite where some people are discriminating against Mormons to the point my mother in law was asked if she was and if she was she can't rent from them. Do I understand where they are coming from? Yeah Mormons can be a little ridiculous sometimes but 95% are just people that like to take care of one another and even donate gifts to people on Christmas like my family (I still have my faith but never go to church). Hope you at least visit we in Utah love visitors 😂!

How did they get married? Don't they need to be sealed in the temple? If they didn't get sealed how did the mormon family feel?

"By there fruits ye shall know them"...My best advice don't listen to the outside worlds opinion or thoughts on the church. See what it's like for yourself.

It's never too late. Your mom probably meant well, but now you can choose. Give the missionaries a call. They would love to help you explore the church.

I joined the LDS church at age 55 after my mother died. I’m home. It’s what I’d been searching for my entire life. 🙏🏻

Book of Mormon is full of errors. Archaeologists have tried proving its sources. None of it has been validated unlike the bible which has physical places.

@@mwebb3014 I joined when I was 21 in Taiwan, and I absolutely love this church because I see God's image in the people that serve Him cheerfully. I am empowered because of the faith that's guided my life.

I'm so sorry you were hurt by your bishopric. I hope and pray you'll have the opportunity to feel safe to come back to church again. The Lord loves you, he wants you back. I know I'm a complete stranger but if there was something I could do to help you come back, please let me know.

You are completely steeped in deception. God did not answer you, you answered yourself. The Jesus of the Bible has nothing whatsoever to do with the Godless fake manmade cult of mormonism. The Jesus of the Christianity of the Bible is a 100% different Jesus than the jesus of the con artist made cult of mormonism. Repent!

Thank you for sharing, I am very grateful to hear you are active in the church and receiving so many blessings. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My husband and I served a mission teaching at 3 different prisons in Nevada. I truly loved every man that we had the privilege of sharing the gospel with. I felt the Spirit of Jesus Christ stronger there, in those prisons, than I have felt in any calling I have had. The very foundation of our religion is repenting and forgiveness through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Again, thank you for sharing ❤️

@@jodeeps2287 The foundation of your 100% fake con artist made religion is complete Biblical illiteracy, and total willing ignorance. Mormons are the accursed of God. Repent!

Thank you I have never commented on anything online I honestly believe the world could benefit from somebody like Peter travelling their local areas showing an insight of how we all live how pure thanks again and enjoy your endeavour

Very true. Peter's Hasidic Jew videos led me back to my own church.

You are not a fool, I was thinking the same thing as I watch this ❤

You are right. I am not a religious person and I don't think I ever will, but I do take a lot of Peter's religion videos with me. I think they're very inspiring and changing how I look at my life

Don't let the niceness fool you, Mormonism is a cult straight from the pits of hell. This belief system will send you to hell. Even in their book "another testament of Jesus" they literally tell you they worship another Jesus.

Sucks i hope you get out of the indoctrination soon. As someone who grew up in Utah, the church is a gigantic ponzi scheme milking you for money and giving you a false hope just as all religions do.

They haven’t mentioned any of their wackier beliefs yet, they save that for when you’re already invested.

@@sharaharper2253 maybe wacky to one isn't wacky to all. :-) Also, people aren't converted by what they think sounds good. The Holy Spirit speaks truth to the heart. It is the most beautiful thing in this world. 😍

Hopefully Peter has a video that has a bit more of reality in it, because these last two have been full of some lies. If he fails to, do yourself a favor and do your own research. Like the fact that they do still believe in polygamy, just in the afterlife. Funny how they didn’t mention that. They do baptism for the dead. So don’t worry if you don’t accept their religion in this life they’ll just wait until you die and then they’ll baptize your spirit. Look up the stories about how they did that too holocaust victims. Yeah that’s how much they love the Jewish people. Or how about how Joseph Smith started polygamy behind his wife’s back, and she was never OK with it. Or that he married, teenage girls and married women who had other husbands. You can actually read about this on their own website. There’s nothing worse than an ex Mormon with all the tea to spill. Isn’t that right, Gwen? Oh, and by the way, if you want to see some really crazy shit, their secret temple (wacky) rituals have been secretly recorded and you can find them on KZfaq.

I've always treated others the way I want to be treated. Don't really need Peter or anyone to "open my eyes" to other beliefs. I was raised southern Baptist and still am a SB, but I accept we all worship any way we want as long as we don't fly planes into a skyscraper or randomly attack another people based on their religion.

So tragic this cult has blasphemed the Word of God and deceived so many from knowing the real Jesus.

Any humanity in this video went away when it became clear Jennifer was flirting with Peter. She gave him a side hug at the beginning, and at the end at 54:27, she was literally GAZING at him and she hugged him for almost 5 seconds.

Does your husband let you hug other guys like the married woman at 54:27 did? She HUGGED Peter for five seconds despite being married. That's basically cheating and any man with respect for himself would leave.

Nothing in the Book of Mormon musical is inaccurate. That’s what makes it amusing

@@DefenestrateYourself absolutly evrething is

The Book Of Mormon musical pokes fun at a lot of aspect of the religion but within the show, rightfully so, but the two missionaries in the play are kind, earnest, and doing their best to be a positive force in the world which is a pretty good depiction of the people within the religion. If you apply Mathew's 'You Will Know Them by Their Fruits' concept applied to Mormon's you'll understand that the musical has a pretty positive message about Mormon's as people basted on the character of the 2 missionaries in the play....And the best part is the Mormon's put out an advertisement for their religion in the musicals pamphlet showing that the leaders of the religion have class and character as well. Imagine if it was 'The book of Islam' instead of 'The Book of Mormon' we would see a very different kind of fruit on display. So while Mormons are ridiculed for their absurd beliefs everyone respects them for the fruits of their labor.

The church is perfect, because of that we call it the only one true on the earth, cause its the christ church, but people there arent perfect

No Mormon would read the Holy Bible with a non-Mormon. I'm sorry, they aren't allowed to do that. I believe you're a Mormon posing as an evangelical Christian. And the differences are GLARING. Mormons believe that Satan and Jesus are brothers. That's one HUGE difference.

And how many month of food were you given ?

@@PennyDavis-cm9tl Actually, we were neighbors, however I moved 650 miles away. They helped me pack and, instead of having to rent a moving van, they loaded my belongings into a trailer, drove with me to my new home, unloaded, unpacked, and helped me move in. They refused any money for gas, and, as they were leaving we all burst into tears because we wouldn't be able to see each other as often. After they left, I discovered that they had also unloaded 5 large plastic containers and left them. When I opened them, I discovered that they'd packed brand new towels, soap, cleaning supplies in one container. There were 3 containers of food, and the last container was filled with heirloom seeds (of many varieties), as well as 5 different kinds of seed potatoes. So I'm not quite sure if you meant your question to be snarky or serious, however, they gave me enough food for several months, but the heirloom seeds were planted every year since I've lived here, food has been harvested, and seeds preserved for next year...so they've given me enough to provide food for the rest of my life. But our friendship is not about how much food they gave me. They are family to me and we love and support each other despite the differences in our beliefs.

I joined the Church when I was 18 :)

Yes. They are surface-level friendly and will only see you as a project to be converted if you get closer to them and some will cut off contact with their own kids if they leave the church or turn out to be gay. Most of them are nice, but not kind.

I’ve lived here for 10 years. No they are not. Antisocial and drive like a bat out of hell. I almost get into wrecks every time I drive after 3pm. It’s nonviolent, true. But back stabbing, feeling alone, is a major issue. Also, their missionaries call themselves Christians. That’s a lie.

@@anthill1510That is not true. That may be a small handful of people but not all. My son left the church and NOTHING has changed. We love him and his wife like nothing happened. This is an ignorant comment. I can even let you talk to my son if you are interested.

You are naïve...Americans can be so so naïve. This is a cult, there is enough on KZfaq with ex members of this cult.

*The gospel of The Mormon jesus christ. As imagined by Jospeh Smith the adulterer.

WHAT ? Your on some trip. Mormon s are better ? Woo wake up !! You been doin too much shooms

Nice on the surface, but are preaching and teaching a heretical doctrine.

​@@ChrisS310truth

@@phatgringo2.0 Amen.

@@ChrisS310why do you feel the need to invalidate other’s experiences?

@@ChrisS310…heretical to what specifically? To Creedal Christianity, then yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints teaches that the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost are and have always been 3 separate and distinct beings that work together as one, in purpose. Each of the creeds of Christianity, in particular the post biblical doctrine of Trinitarianism are an abomination unto the Lord.

How awesome! @realbiblebelievers has awesome content. I started out non Denominational, then converted to Mormon by missionaries and after a few years found truth at the real bible believers channel. His content covers anything you could think of all using scripture.

I pray you find your way back to the one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic church.

@juliusstriker4465 catholic church is not the true church

You can be Muslim and feel happens and amazing strong go google it

⁠@@juliusstriker4465 right from the words of the Nicene Creed, which, by the way, is not exclusive to the Catholic Church

We still can. We have a choice how we treat people and ourselves : )

hard to do when they consider your very existence an 'attack' on their values.

@@truthbetold2611 that's fair

We're all religious. That's what makes us human. Our moral values are our religion. The very thing that separates us from all other life.

@@dherman0001 1. No, we are not, religion is believing in ridiculous things that are obviously false and used to control the masses. 2. Even if you are talking about just life on this planet, there's not much that separates us from the rest of the animals, just a bigger brain, nothing magical, cheetahs also separate from the rest because they are quite fast, that doesn't make them the chosen animaḷ of an invisible and all mighty Cheetah-God.

Jesus loves you. I was atheist for a long time. I'm much more free now that I know God.

Its likely a left over side effect from some of them being Missionaries. They often end on a closing prayer before leaving your house after chatting about god for a little while

I think it was more of an interview with dinner included. There is NOTHING wrong with prayer! ANY time we can pray it helps us grow closer to God!

@@margynelson7945 That's why I said it didn't hurt. I think it was clear, though, that Peter was invited into this home because they were fans of the channel.

Prayer before parting is pretty normal and always encouraged

No, the truth is, the results have been disastrous. You have made yourself twice dead. All those snared into the Godless abomination of mormonism have all made themselves twice dead. Read the book of Jude, it is speaking of the mormons, and the catholics. "These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;" Jude 1:12 KJV

Yes, the Book of Mormon is indeed the word of God and as we follow its teachings of Christ, miracles do follow. God bless you man.

@@olimalaga2254 ,...You are 100% wrong, and 100% deceived. The con artist made bom is a 100% fake manmade fraud. Those who fail to understand this fact don't because they are completely Biblically illiterate, and totally willingly ignorant. Mormonism is the cult of the accursed of God as the Bible clearly tells you. Repent, how long will you remain completely steeped in deception?

I’m curious if you’ve read the Bible?

@@unhushable2265 ,...A mormon is one who has zero Biblical understanding. It doesn't matter if they have read the Bible or not. The Bible is not understandable to anyone other than the few who Jesus came to save. These few have nothing whatsoever to do with anything called or known as the/a church. The entire church is all 100% apostate.

Yes

I'm LDS and have live outside of Utah my whole life. Most of my friends are evangelical, Catholic, or Jewish. We love and respect each other even though we have theological differences. I feel that my life has been deeply blessed by their influence.

Oh, that is one of the nicest comments I have seen here. We do hope if people don't accept our religion that there is something good they can hold on to, we have a lot offer. Because that is what we say to other people "come with all the good you have and we are just adding to it".

There are some good documentaries out there about Mormonism on KZfaq. One is, "Test of a prophet the Bible vs. Joseph Smith", "The Lost Book of Abraham", and the last is "DNA vs. Book of Mormon".

If you ever want to move out here, I'd highly recommend it! :D

There are some people in the church who are a bit more reserved but it can be like that in every church from my experience.

Sadly there are some people in the LDS faith who do not know how to maintain relationships with those that have left or strayed. But it is 1000% not our belief to shun. We believe in following Christ's example - and he ate and hung around everybody. However sometimes we will be selective about who we date and have close friendships with because we want good influences in our day to day lives and less temptation. Overall though, shunning is not a belief we hold. It's unfortunate when someone chooses that route. It should be the opposite.

I've had difficult experiences with some members of the church, but most have been uplifting and hopeful to be around and enjoy. I really do believe most try to follow Christ's example in following his counsel to love our neighbor. My daughter has made some huge changes in her personal choices and preferences. We have tried to maintain our love for each other even at times when she rejected us and kept us at arms length. Its been very hard to watch her struggle. When she was about 12 she had some acquaintences who told her beause we were LDS that we would shun, hate and probably kick her out of the house. She accepted that as truth. It was a very difficult two years before she understood that our love never changed. There were time we thought we'd lost her. I wish she was doing some thing differently in her life, but that doesn't affect my love for her. I pray that you will be able to find those bright spots in life and maintain and restore the bonds of love in your family.

It's funny that you hear stories like this and think....who are these people that are shunning others because of their beliefs but apparently they are out there. As a member of the church the only time I've seen shunning is when members leave the Church and won't associate with their former friends. I've seen that a few times.

What scriptures and which Christ?

As Mormons, we never read the entire Bible and studied it, if we did, members would know that they aren't following Christ. Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers. They also baptize dead people. That is hardly Biblical.

Yes, the LDS Church is family centered.

I moved out of Utah about 1989. I fleed for religious freedom. Brother illegaly set me up. He told me I had to convert or else.

Hahaah. Nonsense. ​@@PennyDavis-cm9tl

Right on!

True! But Statistically it helps to be religious that’s just a fact

Most of the world that have nuclear families are religious. They mostly go hand on hand

1. Worship God, not books. 2. If you have only yourself for wisdom, you're missing out. There are so many people in church (not Mormon specifically) who can contribute to your life.

@nikkita1688 There are so many people in the world that can contribute. Not just church....

Thank you for your kind words ❤️. God bless you 🙏

I'm sure there are a few:)

Many of our Church's first members were from Manchester and the areas surrounding it.

@@denningfamily2145 True thing. The majority of my ancestors come from England and Wales. They came to America to be with the majority body of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints.

It's never too late to come back.

I agree

Why are you not allowed to ask your prophet questions concerning “their accuracy” Ask these and see if you won’t get ex-communicated: 1. Why does the Mormon Church still teach that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God after he made a false prophecy about a temple being built in Missouri in his generation (Doctrine and Covenants 84:1-5)? 2. Since the time when Brigham Young taught that both the moon and the sun were inhabited by people, has the Mormon Church ever found scientific evidence of that to be true (Journal of Discourses, 1870, v.13, p.271)? 3. Why did Brigham Young teach that Adam is “our Father and our God” when both the Bible and the Book of Mormon (Mormon 9:12) say that Adam is a creation of God (Journal of Discourses, Apr. 9, 1852, vol.1, p.50)? 4. If Brigham Young was a true prophet, how come one of your later prophets overturned his declaration which stated that the black man could never hold the priesthood in the LDS Church until after the resurrection of all other races (Journal of Discourses, Dec. 12, 1854, 2:142-143)? 5. Since the Bible’s test to determine whether someone is a true prophet of God is 100% accuracy in all his prophecies (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), has the LDS Church ever reconsidered its teaching that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were true prophets? 6. Since the current LDS prophets sometimes contradict the former ones, how do you decide which one is correct? 7. Since there are several different contradictory accounts of Joseph Smith’s first vision, how did the LDS Church choose the correct one? 8. Can you show me in the Bible the LDS teaching that we must all stand before Joseph Smith on the Day of Judgment?

Sorry dude I didn't even turn the sound on. Neighbors a sleep. But like I live on Utah. I get all this sugar and surip stuff. But hey that's not real. You can fool some of the people all of the time. But you can't fool all the people all of the time. So chill.

I'm from Utah county originally and I am ASHAMED that so many people there support the criminal Trump. It's absolutely appalling! My grandpa owned the grocery stores in Spanish Fork and Payson in the 50's and 60's. He's rolling over in his grave over this travesty of ethics!

I disagree. A fairly typical LDS family would reside in California. Utah Mormons are just a little different.

Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer. Page 64.😇

Not all of their teaching are good. Many can be, though. But don't let the facade fool you. Many of the most unstable people I know are Mormon and have never once strayed from the church or it's teachings.

@@PanthraxIVsource: trust me bro, I’m aetheist

@@PanthraxIVare you meaning that no Catholics or Jews or Muslims or Pentacostals or Baptists or atheists are unstable? Just because Mormons are held to the highest standards does not mean they are unstable. Much of the instability some face comes from incorrect doctrinal understandings as well as a lack of ability to forgive themselves and others. The gospel has been the only source of stability in my life and it is for many others I know. Don’t judge the many by the few.

@@jeffkoch8612 Am currently atheist, absolutely. But I was born and raised in Utah, in the LDS church. My family are deeply involved in all aspects of the church.

Beautiful words. Thank you

I grew up non denominational on a city reservation we call a colony, later was converted to mormonism for a few years for the nice community but the teachings are off the wall. Finally found complete truth from @RealBibleBelievers channel and its been life changing. Dr Gene Kim is the young Korean pastor, grad from Berkley who uses dispenstionalism to rightly divide the word. His content is great

@@caitlinjohnny3828 Interesting life story, thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. Non-Mormons are shunned. I know too many who have suffered ostracisim there.
