I've yet to meet a black Mormon from the hood...or a colored (anyone who isn't white) Mormon who DOESN'T talk like they're from the suburbs. (Valley girl sounding)
At times, I feel like the only kinds of people who become Mormon, are those who were raised in good homes. Why is that?
Is it just a HUGE coincidence that my 8 Mormon friends grew up in the suburbs, with both parents present?
@07Redstang great question. I believe the point is just to show that mormons lead pretty normal lives. they have dreams, hopes, and aspirations just like anyone else and they try to be good people. there is a lot of false notions about who mormons are and these videos attempt to give an inside view of mormon lives so people can decide for themselves if the rumors are true.
I don't understand why people dislike this video, he seems like a nice guy, its a shame people are like this, I can see a lot of effort was put in nice job.
This video is very inspiring. This guy has faced a ton of adversity and seen some of the most horrible moments in people's lives. Yet he found a way to live a peaceful happy life. I have just gained a new hero today.
really? you have to make an ad campaign for it now? you cant just let people choose their own religion? if i start seeing ads for "im a jew" or "im roman catholic" or "im muslim" im going to scream. its spooky. if someones interested in a religion they will GO TO A CHURCH OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING and figure it out. im tired of these ads everywhere.
how is it that 147 people dislike this video? this guy is a hero! he put his life on the line everyday in his career until he couldnt no more, and then he STILL helped out the community!
Thanks Brother!! I'm a Volunteer Firefighter in Virginia and thanks for your service!
@qqw52 How can there be black Christians? They'd have to admit that slavery was for a greater good. Every black Christian would, hypothetically, have to be thankful of their ancestors being put into slavery because they were exposed to Jesus.
@CliffM85 There are American Muslims, even though a small group of Muslims attacked the US. Why can't there be black Christians even though a small group of Christians subjected their ancestors to slavery? People of all and no religion do terrible things--but that doesn't mean religion itself is bad.
@qqw52 1. No it does not say that anwhere, 2. Blacks were persucuted and mistreated for centuries and you make this a big deal about the mormons??? get ur facts straight buddy
@qqw52 In the Book of Mormon it states the "curse" was lifted a loong time ago. The curse was only set so the nephities could tell who the lamanites were(so they could avoid, not be tempted by, ect.) Sooo. Yeah. Just so you know.
@katefeider I think it is just those people who want to promote contention I have seen several on youtube would would vote thumbs down just because they hate Mormons even though if they actually knew these people and those practicing their faith they'd be grateful to have them for co-workers and neighbors.
"In September 1827, Joseph received the record, which was written on thin plates of gold. We now know it was not uncommon for people from that era of ancient America to keep records on metal plates. Joseph translated the book into English by the inspiration of God. The book is called The Book of Mormon..."
Tough times come to everyone.
Having faith helps us overcome challenges.

They're just trying to prove that Mormons are everyday people and they are not some racist, weird people, as many think them to be.
