@@deeznutz8228 people tend to go back to what they know. But imagine, believing anything that Joseph Smith wrote in the days when you have the internet. Here’s some facts: if the Book of Mormon were true, where is the historical evidence of his described “wars” between the two tribes in North America? Artifacts? Languages? Anything besides his “take my word for it,” policy? What about the Pearl of Great Price? Why again, does it come down to one man’s “translations” when they have been proven wrong time and time again. Where has the Bible ever been proven wrong? And if you can’t rely on the history that Joseph Smith claimed to be true, then why are you believing anything that he wrote? Last, if you look at the fruit his tree produced- he committed adultery, lied to his wife and followers, was found guilty of multiple crimes against his fellow man and neighbors, and made himself quite rich off of his followers. Meanwhile, the Bible was written by over 40 different people over thousands of years, with all the books supporting and building off of eachother with absolutely no contradictions! (And despite never having access to one another to keep the story cohesive.) It has been proven historically accurate long before science could begin to fathom the truths it told. It has proven itself to be 100% flawless in its prophecies. …Furthermore, did Christ walk the world as a rich man, taking everything from his followers and buying material and worldly land and items? Did he say to collect a billion dollars in a “church account”, or did he flip the tables of those who were making money off God’s followers? Did he advocate keeping any secrets from his people- handshakes or ceremonies or require ridiculous garments to worship? Or did he call the religious leaders “snakes and vipers who replaced God’s laws with man made rituals? Did he say to swear covenants? Or did he say to let your “yes be yes and your no be no, but to only worship God and serve your fellow man”?Did Christ show he walked with God’s authority by healing the blind, sick, and diseased? Did he resurrect and walk amongst the people- proving all the claimed? What about Joseph Smith? Look, there was some good in some of the things Joseph Smith taught. Thats how deceivers work- they take 30% truth and encase it in 70% of lies. And I know it’s hard to accept that you have been taught things that simply aren’t true. That must be devastating, in fact. But it’s not your fault. You are only to blame if you continue to prefer the lie once you have the availability to learn the truth. So go learn it. Read the New Testament. Study Mormon church history and the accuracy of Smith’s historical accounts. Don’t be afraid. Only fear the Big Man upstairs. And Christ loves you. You wants you to come back in the fullness with HIM- no intermediary needed or wanted. ❤

@@danielmoore4024 Google "Stockholm syndrome".

@@danielmoore4024 Investigate this: The word Adam means man, it also means one who can blush/flush, (show blood in the face) which Negroes, Latinos, Asians cannot do, it means reddish/white, etc. Jacob's father Isaac and mother Rebecca were Syrians (Caucasians). Plus, the very word Laban means WHITE. Laban said to Jacob, "we're of the SAME skin". Laban was Rebecca's brother. Lebanon is named after Laban because of the snow capped mountain. Jacob said his father was a Syrian in Deut 26:5 which makes Jacob a white Syrian as well. Whites have transparent skin, when we're embarrassed we blush ,when we're frightened we "turn white as a ghost" and we also go flush or pale when we're ashamed just as Jacob's face went pale from being ashamed. That is a biblical description of a white Jacob. Jacob was a white Syrian just as president Assad is white. Even David was described in the same way as the rest of the Hebrews as having a white face with a red complexion. He was "ruddy and fair". As you know "fair" means light/white like fair skin, fair hair. (below) ALL the tribes came to David and said they're of the same flesh (white skin) as him. Samson was a Nazarite, they're Israelite's too, he was whiter than milk with a red complexion. Solomon was white with a red complexion. He had a white face, white abdomen, white neck, white nose, white legs like marble. He had emerald eyes like fish pools. I've showed Laban, Jacob, David, Samson, and Solomon were ALL white Hebrew/Israelite's. I too have brought several bible witnesses. Those mentioned are all blood related family members of Jesus. Jesus was born in Galilee making him a Galatian (Gaul/Celt) I can prove Galatians/Celts migrated from Macedonia and western Europe (Gaul) into Turkey. then into Galilee.

I resigned my LDS membership some 20 years ago...and not once have I/we been contacted since my (and family's) resignation. Maybe it was because I gave them 60 days to do the job...that if they didn't, I would have my lawyer get involved. 60 days later I got the acknowledgement letter telling us we were OUT.😆 If you just walk away it's almost a guarantee you will be contacted by LDS reps.

You simply have to ask. People don’t know your status unless you make it known. And even then, they’re just doing their best to be friends and reach out. Funny enough there are people in your scenario that get mad when people don’t reach out and feel abandoned. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t.

Sure you can live honest good lives without it being done for the glory of God. But in the end, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Repent and trust in Jesus.

The Church of Jesus Christ is true and is of God, and because someone wrote this or that about the Prophet Joseph Smith over a century ago means zero, when over half of all the teachings of the world being taught today are lies and half truths, so why would you believe in some Joseph Smith hating man who wrote lies?

I wouldn't trust a random online site but this is a matter of public record, no bias or slant, just the historical record. And history tells a different story.

@@danielmoore4024 There's a difference random sites and legitimate resources. Why is it that everything is anti-Mormon when it doesn't have the church's endorsement? This is a common thing I encounter in most lds folks, when they are presented with arguments or anything that calls into question their beliefs, they claim, "it's anti Mormon." God's word says to test all things, cling to what's true, reject every kind of evil, " (1 thes. 5:21-22). But it's as though Mormons only run instead of test truth claims. The point I was making about public marriage records is that they show that marrying young girls was not the norm, that is a fact whether you like it or not. And secondly, how would law enforcement know Joseph was marrying all these women and girls if he's married in a Mormon ceremonial fashion where they do their own thing. My friend, I admire your enthusiasm and your faith but faith is futile if misplaced. I have LDS friends and members I talk with fairly regularly. The bible is the objective source of authority. Anything that deviates is from the enemy. Prayers and blessings my friend. P.S. I'll look into the things you directed me to pertaining to Joseph's marriages. It's been a while since I've considered these sources because I'm concerned more so with refuting Mormon gospel and doctrine.

@@danielmoore4024 Respectively, God's word has never been lost. Isaiah 40:8 says, "The grass withereth and the flower fadeth but the Word of our God will stand forever" (KJV). Jesus confirms, "Heaven and Earth will pass away but My Words will not pass away" (Mt. 24:35). Acts 3:21, Peter delivers his second sermon to those who witnessed the lame man walk again. Peter is referring to the eschaton or last days when God will finally restore things to His original intent, fellowship with God, the tangible and intangible living in unity. The verse in acts 3:21 refers to Christ bring received in heaven until the "restitution of 'all' things" comes to pass, of which the prophets of old spoke about.

Mormons follow the local laws. In Utah you have to be at least 16 years old to get married with parental or guardian consent. Once you are 18 you can get married without getting that consent. This is just an FYI to let you know.

The problem is that polygamy is not "basic to [the LDS] faith" and hasn't been practiced for over 130 years.

Wow, that broke me from believing it was eye-witnesses, because Jesus goes from being a normal man and turns into a God. So, that changed my veiwpoints.

Amen to that!!!

I’ve lived in UT for 14 years as a Christian, there are many loving people here for anyone to have a great community with that are brave enough to leave the LDS church and place God’s loving word ahead of Joesph’s teachings. We cheer you all on in your Journey!

72 years member. So sad about disingenuous butt holes around you. Only one of my 7 kids “active” NEVER AND DRAMA about this. Sounds contrived.? Again I’ve NEVER HEARD of ANY backlash whatsoever. I don’t “hang” with the ungodly.

What this “man” did was silly and childish.

@markcavandish1295 What is silly or childish about respectfully speaking to your community about information discovered? The way this bishop responded was silly and childish.

@@olwhatzhirname because that’s not what the congregation is there for brainiac. It would be like me showing up to a comedy club expecting a lecture on feminine hygiene. Totally disrespectful

Shhhh shhh shhh everything is fine go back to sleep. you are talking gibberish again.

You know exactly what he was trying to do he was trying to tear down our beliefs and get other members of the congregation to lean towards his views against what our principles are in the gospel. And those in the congregation didn't like anything they know the true fullness of the gospel and they hear it and that wasn't it

Yeah what Scott said. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was not the victim here, he was the instigator.

Explain how a single thing he said was untrue. With sources and links or you are completely invalid.

So then you all disagree that if you have the truth then no amount of scrutiny will hurt it and it should be evaluated...sounds like you all are scared that under scrutiny the truth claims don't hold up. I could see myself doing something like this.

They were hoping he would get the burning in the bosom while he was up at the podium and mistake it for my message for God that he should rejoin the church I still can't believe that burning in the bosom is official church doctrine and it's one of the primary examples of how the church emotionally blackmails you

This man was NOT perceived by the Bishop as a non-believer, only as an inactive MEMBER! Get your lies right.

@@chischilisnez7811 Eh, indeed get them straight yo. A member could be a non-believer just the same.🤡

@@professorpalkas4007 sure. But honest people would tell the bishop when being invited to the pulpit that they don’t believe. Only a jackass would use a literal church pulpit as his personal bully pulpit

@@jeanine219 I can't sleep at night knowing there's a video of Bidens son engaging with a c h i l d pro s t i tu1e and it's censored each time we post it.

@@jeanine219 Have you not been watching the news? EVERYONE is a pathological narcissistic sociopath. If we can riot in the streets and attack police officers and rob people's small businesses and get away with it even on a judicial level, that's giving permission to people to behave like wild animals. There's no longer debate anymore.... it's "I'm going to attack you, destroy you, and ruin your life for not agreeing with my point of view." Entire cities are filled with homeless people without work and strung out on drugs in tent cities due to this kind of sociopathy within our own leadership. A country's moral structure can only be as sound and sane as it's leadership, but if that leadership wishes to overthrow the very way of life within a country, that's domestic terrorism. Homeland Security is on an awfully long coffee break, I must say. You attack Trump (perhaps well deserved) but let slide by that everything he was accused of The Democrat Party has been doing. If you're going to have a biased point of view you're dead in the water. THE WHOLE OF THE LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN CORRUPTED BY PEOPLE WHO NO LONGER LOVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY, AND WHAT IT STOOD FOR.... freedom, sovereignty, and the right to earn a decent living. I hate to break it to you.... but it was The Democrats who ran this country into the ground, and I don't like either party. But let's give the credit where the credit is due, eh?

Homo Sapiens are a barbaric, selfish, destructive species, with few exceptions.... even in so called civilized societies. Just look at how horrifically we treat animals and the earth.

The Missionaries told me all about the Founders of the Church having polygamous Marriages that some were temporal and some were solely spiritual, when I was thirteen by myself in 1994. They told me the Truth even though I told them I would talk to my Dad about his Thoughts on the Matter. o-o;;;

Ask God if it's stronger for him when you finally meet.

The strongest relationship you can have with God is personal not structural. You can never know who god is until you know who you are without him. God will never hate you for loving him.

1st step is to believe in the WORD and the truth in it. "heaven and earth may pass away but my WORDs may never pass away" this one truth makes Joseph Smith the liar.

This also happened in my in law family and the parents did not believe the kid.

Butterfly Marci, I'm so, so sorry. That's so sad! I'm proud of you for finding your way, even by yourself 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡.

I'm sorry you had this trauma in your life, and your family ignored you. However, if your experience doesn't make it crystal clear to you (and anyone in the cult w/similar circumstance(s)) nothing will. THE CULT COMES FIRST!! The cult comes before truth, humility, honesty, morality, integrity, decency, acceptance, unbiased judgement, fairness, do unto others...., transparency, being genuine, family, etc. If faced w/the choice of exhibiting any of these behavioral characteristics, or doing exactly what the cult, and fellow cult members expect of any given cultist, you already should know what 98% of Mormons will do.

Age accountability and age appropriate topics are a little different. At age 8 & 9 you're working on principles of sharing, compassion, learning to get along. Take King David in the bible. Lessons for a 9 year old would be learning to have faith and trust in God to defeat our Goliaths, that we are all capable. It's not the right age to go in and say David had many wives, yet he went and committed adultery. If a child brings it up, of course don't ignore it, talk about it. I believe 1 on 1 is the right environment for that as well, where they can feel comfortable saying everything, listened to and give back answers. Give it about 3 more years, closer to puberty when the opposite sex starts to become of interest, then start talking about chastity, fornication, adultery. The pulpit is a forum to incite faith and unity, when I feel drained from discussions like all these comments (in particular a friend shared this link and wanted my opinion) I like going back where I'm amongst like minded people and want to let my guard down sort of speak, not get ready for some disgruntled person. From the comments I see here, I'm sure many will disagree, they want "us to see the truth, we see cracks and the truth is in the cracks." I can show a whole other side of incredible miracles, stories, and how ward families have helped carry me through hard times. I feel sorry for those who only look for flaws in others, what a miserable life. A classroom would be more appropriate for this message.

@TimBrown-uf9lj Ok... So you don't have any concerns about the age of accountability being lower than the age kids should learn about the history of the church and the scriptures? Do you have any kids? I assume not, because you seem to have a very low and very high opinion of 8 year olds at the same time. You seem to think they have the capacity to understand enough about the gospel to make an informed choice about baptism... But that they are too young to be taught about David's adultery? That is, they have the capability to analyze and understand, but we should be actively protecting them from some of the most important stories in the Bible?

@@andy4an What is faith to you? How would you define it?

@TimBrown-uf9lj I've never been to the moon. So I haven't seen the Apollo debris with my own eyes. I've never personally done the laser experiment off the triple mirror array left on the moon to confirm it's there. I don't personally have the technical experience to review the Apollo video footage and confirm it's legit. I don't personally understand all the engineering involved that would make the trip possible. But the weight of the evidence that humans actually landed in the moon is sufficiently compelling that I can take the last logical step from "this probably happened" to "this did happen" on faith. That is also my approach to spiritual faith. It is the bridge between "most compelling logical option" and "I believe this is true" I just Looked up the definition on Google and the first one is "The assent of the mind to the truth of a proposition or statement for which there is not complete evidence" And the phrase "complete" is really important to me in that definition.

I would have said the truth is the truth, you just can't handle the truth.

"Abuse" Gaslighting - Ruby Franke & Kevin Franke in Utah. Jodi Hid....

I had this experience when I left the LDS church and came out as gay. Recently I have come out as a gender conforming gay, and disagree with the indoctrination, sexualization, and medicalization of children. Sadly, it is. the *SAME EXACT* experience as I did when I left the LDS cult. The parallels are truly astonishing.

What Benjamin was saying was inappropiate not what our Prophet says

@@scottmccune8608 The truth is inappropriate for children? Joseph Smith and mormonism are indefensible.

Yeah, if Joseph Smith’s actions can’t be shared with children...or that the translations are wrong...I mean...maybe you should re-evaluate your religion.

@Hyperion No, they whitewash their history.

The truth should come from the parents mouth not the church or anyone else. As a parent , you should read the King James version. Read it for yourselves and ask Jesus to open your heart and your mind to understand HIS true words. Bless all of you. In JESUS name. Amen. 🙏🦁🐑🕊🙏

@@hugopolito4879 how do you know that anything the bible says is the truth?

I only mentioned the King James version cause it comes close to the Tora ( Tanach). Wich in turn come from the original scrolls. I've read 3 different bibles. And yes they do change some words. But, they all come to the same point (conclusion). GOD , our Father. Jesus ,his son and our Lord and savior. And the Holy Spirit that guides us. Please don't get this the wrong way. But there will be NO excuse for ignorance of God's word. For we know what's right from wrong and God's laws are written in our hearts. Stay blessed. 🙏🦁🐑🕊🙏

It's a real dick move to go with malice into a congregation of believers of ANY religion just with the intent to preach to them that their beliefs are false. This was disgusting behavior and the fact that you dont' see that tells me what kind of piece of garbage you must be to interact with. The fact that you delight in destroying beliefs of religious persons is vile. If putting down others brings you joy that tells me everything I need to know and I hope you repent and one day change your disgusting and evil mentality.

@@Vetionarian Exactly my thoughts. Let the people believe what they wish to believe. That is America after all.

They ask em that at age 12

@@poshmalosh14 I met with the bishop of my congregation a few times from age 12-18 for casual "How are you doing? Can I help you in any way?" type meetings. Very innocent and I felt comfortable with him. He never asked me questions about masturbating or anything like that. It's really really sad that some bishops ask those questions, but I'd say that the majority of people who grew up in the church did not have that experience. Just letting you know :)

My Bishop years and years ago asked me about masturbation alone in his closed door office. Heck I didn’t even know what he was talking about. He had to tell me what it was! LOL. This was back in the good old days and the Bishop was always right! Masturbation was just super, duper awful, AWFUL!!! Tie your hands to the bed some GA said. A wise sage that he was! 😉

Kids in grade 7 know enough to get to grade 8 without having to know what the grade 8s learned. Where's your brain?

It’s wild. For an 8 year old to be held accountable for everything they do from here on out for time and all Eternity in front of god and everyone in the afterlife (kind of a big deal, if you believe in that!), but not know about multiple wives? That wouldn’t even faze a kid. They don’t know about sex really, so they don’t put two and two together, so I think that man was using the “kids” as an excuse to call out the speaker.
