Yikes, that church is insane

How do you know you are sealing people to God and not someone else. Secret ceremonies don't sound like they are from God.

Actually, I believe this is the sign of the dove associated with baptism, specifically the baptism of the Savior

This is HUGE! I have often wondered whey BYU did not have a medical school. Now they will and that is awesome!

A good use of the tremendous amount of money the church has saved. I predict it will be called the "Russel M. Nelson School of Medicine". Also, since morality tends to shift as society changes its positions, (yes, even within the church), I wonder how and if the upcoming LDS medical school will adapt to eventual moral changes? Furthermore, there are certain medical treatments The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints might deem immoral, and if the new school of medicine doesn't train their doctors in those fields of medicine, will that somehow effect the employability of future doctors who graduate from BYU?

Awesome.

“If we as a people and as individuals are to have access to the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ-to cleanse and heal us, to strengthen and magnify us, and ultimately to exalt us -we must clearly acknowledge Him as the source of that power. We can begin by calling His Church by the name He decreed.”* STYLE GUIDE: In the first reference, the full name of the Church is preferred: “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” When a shortened reference is needed, the terms “the Church” or the “Church of Jesus Christ” are encouraged. The “restored Church of Jesus Christ” is also accurate and encouraged. PLEASE AVOID USING THE ABBREVIATION “LDS” OR THE NICKNAME “MORMON” AS SUBSTITUTES FOR THE NAME OF THE CHURCH. When referring to Church members, the terms “members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” “Latter-day Saints,” “members of the Church of Jesus Christ” and “members of the restored Church of Jesus Christ” are preferred. WE ASK THAT THE TERM “MORMONS” OR “LDS” NOT BE USED. THE TERM “MORMONISM” IS INACCURATE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. When describing the combination of doctrine, culture and lifestyle unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the term “the restored gospel of Jesus Christ” is accurate and preferred. “I promise you that if we will do our best to restore the correct name of the Lord’s Church, He whose Church this is will pour down His power and blessings upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints, the likes of which we have never seen. We will have the knowledge and power of God to help us take the blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.”* *President Nelson, The Lord’s Mouthpiece

It is overdue. So glad.

They’ll probably be going for a lot of psychology stuff too so that they can have psychologists that are strictly Mormon.

Are we going to talk about the penis on the facsimile…?

I just want you to know I appreciate you putting this out here. Even in the wilds of the internet

Only bad things happen in secret ceremonys

Hay.... Jasmine.....put your wedding ring on 😉

Jesus was talking about humans

❤❤❤

When the subject of “I don’t feel this is excluding” comes from the person on the inside rather from the person on the outside looking in, the conversation lacks merit. Otherwise, you get opinions like this one which convey, “I’m not better than you, I’m just saying I’ve done the work to be holier. I’m not ‘more’ than you; you’re just ‘less’ when it comes to being good and hardworking. Got it?” If you want to explore the idea that the temple isn’t exclusionary, interview the siblings in the temple waiting area who can’t see their brother or sister get married because they can’t force themselves to believe J.S.’s version of American history. Or to those people who were born with intersex medical conditions or are gay. Or Black people whose parents supposedly didn’t have souls because they died in the wrong year instead waiting for the apostles to come around.

You raise your accountability when you partake of the temple ceremonies. You need to be ready to take on that added accountability.

For the naysayers and theirworries about temples being exclusionary, lets ponder on this. John 3:5 Is thst exclusionary? NO ONE can enter the kingdom of God without being baptized by water and fire. That would exclude roughly 90%+ of the people who lived on the earth. Basically what GOD is saying in this scripture is that we need to be committed to live a certain way through making covenants with HIM if we are going to be living with HIM in the presence of Jesus and Him. However, though that is the commandment of God and He knows that it's going to exclude most people, HE presents humankind with the option to receive the truth in the next life if they have not heard it in its purity in this life ... 1 Peter 3:18-20 and 1 Peter 4:6 And as HE states in 1st Corinthians 15:29, baptisms for the dead will be performed so that they receive it vicariously (in Temples) at which time they get to accept the baptism or to reject it. The practice of baptisms for the dead was done long after the apostles had deceased. During the time that Paul talked to his audience in Corinthians, he was using baptism for the dead as EVIDENCE that there is a resurrection. No religion is without exclusion doctrine except for the "anything goes" religion or humanism. Which religion believes in the eventual teaching the truth to everyone? Only one. The LDS Church.... 1 Peter 3:18-20 and 1 Peter 4:6

Include all of humanity ... Unless they're gay. Then they have to be excommunicated. Or pushed into straight marriages where they're living not very authentically. Amen.

Amen sister!

“Skin of blackness” is a reference to the racial prejudice of Joseph Smtih.

Um well to be fair your church has kept the LBGTQ and blacks out before soooo um yeah just sayin.

So you're a young single adult at 35. Yet you're over the hill at 40...the math isn't mathing. It seems odd that in 5 years a person would go from young to past the prime of their life.

Thank you Jasmine. People have hurt feelings over this, but Christ and Heavenly Father will help people prepare if they choose to. It’s kind of like what @emilybellfreeman said in her talk that the type of covenants that you choose to take upon yourself depends on what kind of relationship you want with Him.

AMEN to That

Are you talking about the WSU G how father and heavenly mother

the temple ordinances are not available to all equally . . . our Queer siblings are often excluded through circumstances of their birth . . . circumstances over which they have no control . . . I love the temple and the things that are taught there that point me to Jesus, but in some ways that I hope will change someday, it very much IS 'exclusive'

You do a lot of self contradiction here. We don’t exclude people, we only let those who meet specific requirements. Guess what, you are excluding people

Does that include the second anointing... is that open to everyone in the human family?

But you just said it: "We are prepared to live in a higher and holier way. We have a higher accountability to God." There is literally nothing in the temple ceremony that makes anyone higher or holier, nor does it require a "higher or holier way" to be understood. If Mormons heard that the higher-ups in any other organization were given religious preference over anyone else, they would frown on that practice.

Good ol Joe married 16 year old children so age ain't nothing but a number 😂

LDS Brett Cooper???

I am a Mormon and I cannot disagree more with this person. The Israelites processed metallurgy which none of the native Americans had at the time Columbus landed in the Americas. They did do work with silver and gold and a little in copper but never in iron or at least that has been archaeologically identified to any of the nation American cultures pre or post Columbus. I know there was hardwood copper found but the secret of how that was done has been lost to the world. Were the swords made of hardened copper? If so, we should have found at least dozens of examples by now. So what, the Nephites and Lamanites somehow lost the ability to work with iron and had to resort to using obsidian embedded wood for swords? That is stretching the narrative too far. There would have been 1000s, 10,000s of swords made by both the Nephites and the Lamanites for use in their wars prior to Christ coming to visit. This is assuming they somehow lost this ability during the cataclysmic events that the American continent suffered during the crucification of Jesus Christ as some scholars have suggested. Yet there is not one remainent of one sword yet to be found. I cannot explain this with respect to the Book of Mormon claims. No one really can. But when they do we get this kind of ****. No wonder people think it's a work of fiction. My suggestion is to just take it on faith and let The Lord reveal the truth in His own good time.

Here’s what happened: The governor of Missouri signed an order commanding the militia to chase 10,000 Saints out of the state. Members of the Church asked for protection from local law enforcement and judges, the governor, and senators. No one listened. Joseph went to the U.S. Capitol and met directly with the President and members of Congress, who declined to help again. They claimed the Constitution didn’t allow the federal government to protect religious freedom when individual states refused to do so. By 1844, Joseph felt that running for president would raise awareness and help expand religious freedom, so he announced his candidacy in February. Unfortunately, Joseph was killed just a few months later-making him the first presidential candidate in American history to be assassinated!

I agree evenso to the entire dispensation very cool. The truth will forever move forward. God bless humanity. Love the shares.

Not biblical at all….. Mormons 😅

This was a great video sister. I read all church history . I have never hear of this. Thank you.

When my husband and I were sealed, I literally felt a light, sparkling-feeling mist settle over us, covering us. I felt the ageless power and honor of the covenant, and I testify that it is so beautifully real. (This next part is strictly my opinion and has no bearing on any church doctrine or teaching:) I feel like there are three types of partnerships. There's the Telestial level, which is living together. That’s more of a "til we're bored with each other" or "til things get hard" commitment. Then there's the Terrestrial level, which is a civil marriage, more of a "I love you enough to get married for now, but I'm keeping my Eternal Options open" marriage. Then there's a Celestial marriage, which is "you're my chosen one for the rest of forever". With a Telestial union you build something together until one of you wants to quit. You're building sand castles together, that can get washed away by the first high tide. With a Terrestrial union, you build something here on Earth that will last many years but it's only an earthly union so earthly things can seem pretty major. You're building castles out of adobe-type mud, where it can get worn down and weakened over the years of hard rains. With a Celestial marriage, you're building something eternal, something so much bigger than yourselves. It's so beautifully different! You're building an eternal castle from granite and marble, a huge building for your future generations to live in. With a Celestial marriage, differing ways of doing household chores etc seem inconsequential when viewed through an eternal lens, and it's so much easier to focus on the qualities that are eternal- loyalty, integrity, honor, etc. P.S. I'm fully aware of the exceptions to each rule, but choosing to simplify my personal viewpoint as stated. 🩷

This person's allegations are utterly false. William Law and the other "Expositor" publishers had NOTHING to do with the Smiths' deaths. Their killers were local non-Mormon civic leaders who were fed up with Smith's repeated evasion of justice for numerous crimes, culminating in the destruction of the "Expositor" press. The killers openly stated that the killings were an act of vigilante justice.

Oh yeah! And be sure to SIGN the marriage certificate after the sealing!!!!! The temple called us at 7am the next morning, on our honeymoon, to tell us we forgot to sign the certificate and we needed to come back! We actually thought we had committed some kind of sin, before they assured us it was just a technicality.

Girl. Your are in cult. Run

Trying so hard. Keep trying. God doesn't keep sacred things secret.

The right answer is their civil marriage, the one where ALL of their loved ones and community can witness. It would save so many broken hearted memories if people weren't shamed out of doing that.

Cool, now 35 year old men can make advances on woman half their age... just like the good ole days

What you are describing, then, is fiction.

Explain Osiris's penis in the facsimile, then.

Are the plates delicate? Can't the church just measure them?

I feel like they completely did half a job. What about all the older people getting baptised?. There should be 36-49 for the more mature 50-65 and 66-85, 86-101.

The Book of Mormon is a sham, written by a con-man.
