So, I had this thought while watching this, that the church should watch it and apply it to actually repenting for their racist practices and doctrines. Here’s a few time stamps with important lessons the church could learn: 7:14-Bishop: true repentance is more than just stopping the bad behavior 13:28 Bishop: you’ve been so caught with the social consequences of your mistakes and the worldly sorrow they bring you haven’t left room to consider the eternal consequences. 14:49- bishop: right now, what is your biggest concern? Kim: how can I face everyone?! Bishop: shouldn’t the question be, “how can I face the Lord?” 15:23 bishop: you should be feeling godly sorrow. 15:34 bishop: I think it begins with our ability to see our sins as he sees them, not as we see them. 16:26 Bishop: Godly sorrow is a deep realization that our actions have offended our father [in heaven.] 22:03 Bishop: Godly sorrow is not meant to be a punishment. It’s a purposeful thing. A gift of the spirit, a feeling of sorrow that precedes true repentance. So go ahead mormon church, feel that godly sorrow for your racist traditions, and don’t worry about the social consequences of owning up to it, just know you offended God and need to feel that godly sorrow and view it as a gift from God, and part of true repentance.

It felt like a spiritually enlightening experience at the time, but I'm realizing now that so much of that euphoria stemmed from my perception; which was that God and my parents could finally accept me. I overcame the shame by successfully digging out the "immoral" impurities from my life, in other words I finally felt worthy.

A year or two before my mission I bought the soundtracks to these videos and listened to them frequently to prepare for it and stay away from worldly music. A couple decades latter I still know the songs too well as well as recall how bad they made me feel about myself (although I didn't do anything really wrong).

The missionaries should've shown me this video. I would've never chose to get baptized. Before meeting with the missionaries, I considered myself Christian and through much of my younger years I felt such shame and hate for being sexual. Even after I was married (but that's a long story. note the ex-husband was not mormon. he was atheist.) After a lot of shame and hating myself and some really intense therapy sessions, I had this breakthrough and was like no you know what I am never going to feel guilty about my sexuality again. I even went out got my first toy. Fast forward two years or so later and I joined the church. And sure, I knew about the law of chastity but I had no idea the questions I would be asked by bishops after my divorce. When I was married, my Bishop when asking the interview questions was like "well you're married so we can skip the law of chastity question". Honestly I think he felt uncomfortable. He had just become bishop. But I had the impression that like okay they won't be creepy about it... after my divorce and I moved to Utah and was in a YSA ward? Some bishops were really gross about it. And my LDS therapist decided to focus on that as an addiction and not my self-harm. And the funny thing is at the time I was "sinning with myself" maybe once a month with no "visual aids". He even made a plan where I wrote out how I get aroused and at what levels of arousal and I use certain coping mechanisms to sin and engage in my "addictive behavior and act our sexually". He even went so far to say that my "behavior" was damaging my brain. I felt so gross sharing such personal details that outside of LDS therapy, I would have never discussed with a therapist. I couldn't help but feel like he was getting off on it. And while yes, I've had like one or two bishops who were good guys and one even told me "it's not that bad Sara. I don't need to know the details and I'd have no problems with you going to the temple" but by that point I was so hurt and shamed. ALSO OMFG I AM SO SICK OF THE WHOLE COUNT THIS TERRIBLE THING AS A BLESSING. Like for the love of God my mom dying, losing my job, being almost homeless, suffering from mental illness and being hospitalized 3x a year, having seizures and Lupus.... are not a damn blessing or a trial to be happy about. I cannot tell you how many times I was told to be happy that I am mentally ill and want to die all the time because now i'll now how to help others who feel that way.. and sure we can learn and grow from bad things, but we need to stop attributing suffering as its from God. All I've learned in the last two years is that I want nothing to do with a Church that makes me feel like I deserve all this pain. Anywhos, sorry this is long.. its one of those subjects that well pisses me off LOL

I remember seeing this atleast half a dozen times, it was so cringe. This video was like a reminder to me that women are at fault if they "make us" priesthood holders sin, and the guy could do no wrong because he literally had no role in this. Triggering indeed lol.

Yeah -its always the womans fault-'you caused the men to have sinful thoughts because you wore a tank top! You should be ashamed of your body etc etc' Did they ever think that maybe men are SUPPOSED to have naughty thoughts? Its how they react that matters. If they keep it to themselves and behave like gentlemen then thats fine by me. But I guess if men get all gropey then somehow thats the womans fault too.

This unlocked some seminary memories that were locked in a far away vault. I used to panic about the bishop knowing everything! He’s blessed with the power of discernment so of course he’d know I ate all of the chocolate chips in the pantry and blamed my little sister.

Christian here. I am shocked at this teaching of the mormon church. The bible literally says godly sorrow leads to repentance. This woman is saying she did something she shouldn't have done but she no longer does it (repentance in a nutshell). Most of the time it even takes time to stop doing something you think you shouldn't be doing, so she is a step ahead here. Why the need to shame her? She didn't break the law of the land. She doesn't need to be punished...

Love your guys content! Sam, don’t let the haters bring you down. Tanner, keep building your confidence. You both are extraordinary people and your content has been so helpful in my faith transition, and in helping me deconstruct my beliefs to get to a healthier, less anxiety-filled existence and view on the world/spirituality. Thank thank thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Keep creating and keep talking about these important and harmful issues.

Comparing this to my pre-wedding meetings with my rabbi is so wild. She asked us if we had discussed children, money, how and and where we wanted to live, if we had fights and how we dealt with them, and how we were doing with both our families. You know, like pre- marriage counseling to not get together without knowing each other or having talked about important topics first.

Thank you for your commentaries on this. I love you guys and your blend of compassionate satire and practical sensibilities. Videos like this were a common event for me growing up mormon in Utah. In fact, I recognize many of the local actors, some of whom are no longer affiliated with the church unsurprisingly. The bishop's twisted logic and implication of a narcissistic deity who only cares about being "pleased" by his creations are confusing to young people - particularly those who have compassionate hearts and don't want to cause harm. I'm glad to see you deconstructing these propaganda videos and the toxic effects they've had on mormons for years. The song at the last 20 seconds was golden.

In 1994 the theme that was pushed that year in my girls camp was My Body is a Temple and He Doesn't Have a Visiters Pass. Of course, that Visitors Pass was a Temple Marriage, the only true marriage. Later that summer, it was time to have our meeting with the Bishop to see if we were worthy to participate in Baptism for the Dead. The bishop started small have you broke anything in the word of wisdom. I had smoked a cigarette. I did feel sorry about it I wanted to be a good Mormon girl. He heard I had a boyfriend now was he a member of the church. He was not, but his grandfather was. Then he started grilling me about what sexual acts I had don't with my boyfriend. We hadn't even started heavy petting at that point it was soooo fucking pure. The bishop refused to believe me. He kept repeating what acts were considered sexual and asking if I had done them. I continued to say I had not. I finally cracked and told him we were not Catholic, and he was not my confessor. That my sins were between me and god, and only God could know if I was truly repentant of them, not him. Needless to say, I was found unworthy. It turned out the reason why the bishop refused to believe that I was not having sexual contact with my non-Mormon boyfriend. It was because the stake presidency secretary's daughter was pregnant. I was called a liar by the bishop, and I walked away from the church that day. My mother tried to convince me years later the only reason the bishop treated me like that was it turned out he had a brain tumor. I told my mother that was no excuse for him to be so hyper-focused on sex that he called me a liar about it. That is the story of how the 16-year-old me left the church. Tune in next time for a story on how I pushed my seminary teacher into calling me a heathen.

So something my dad told me a lot when I came out of the closet and stopped going to church is " God is not a failed parent." Meaning he would love us regardless of our differences and mistakes and would be a parent before a punisher. On another note, we were told as kids that God tells the bishop about our sins before every interview so he will know if we are lying.

I liked better the way a Roman Catholic widower responded to a Monseigneur when he and his fiancee went for pre-marital "counseling." When the Monseigneur began to ask prying questions, the widower (who was also a U.S. Army captain) told him in no uncertain terms -- no doubt with some Anglo-Saxon spicing it up -- to mind his own business and that if the Monseigneur wouldn't, the Captain could find another priest to perform the ceremony! (Who needs a blasted "Temple" or even a "Cathedral" ceremony when City Hall or County Courthouse will do just as well?) (P.S.: I am actually a CHRISTIAN!)

The concept of forgiveness is beautiful, but the way most christians think that you have to get there is so messy.. I mean, that video didn't even bother to directly include "forgiveness". It was entirely about shame and suffering for no goddamn reason.
