Good thing they're spreading the gospel instead of themselves.

[andrewrobertwells]

This video is so uplifting. It is cool that Mormons are willing to serve in their church without pay.

[amylynn925]

To daniibaby500. I think the purpose of this campaign "I am a Mormon" is to help no Mormons understand that we are just your basic everyday people who come from all walks of life. It is unfortunate that thousands of non-Mormons actually think we are a bunch of misfits who live in the shadows of polygamy and have no educations or knowledge of the world. It isn't at all to say that we are better or more blessed. Relax! You're special too! Even if you're not a Mormon. :-)

[amylynn925]

For the one who asked about poor disenfranchised Mormons... I was raised poor, several years with out a home. Then in the projects. Now a single mom working 12 hour days. Lucky enough to have Internet access, but still no cable tv, & no vacations.

Yep! I am still a very happy Mormon! And I am also very happy for that blessed family! Good for them! :-) so there! :-)

[20ShayB]

"Faith makes it easier.." I love that. So true no matter who you are or what you are doing.

[daniibaby500]

Did I ask you if you were a morman. What does having a normal life, a good job, and being a great mom have to do with anything. To me personally all of these videos are saying'' Look how great I am'' ''I'm soo special''. Only mormans.

not all.

[eayankeefanrofl]

Cool story bro, tell it at parties!

[Niellibertad]

Aww thanks for the message, very uplifting!

[emolytpic]

I met the Sherinians quite a few years ago in Quito Ecuador. They are an amazing couple! If you meet them you should ask them to sing their duet of 'You are my sunshine.' If Aaron and Emily ever read this, You guys changed my life just in the few months I was serving in your area.

E'Hulse

[Woodsgirls4]

If you non-Mormons don't want to watch this then don't click on it! Gosh! Your in charge of your mouse. There are plenty of other things for you to watch!

[ICodeInDreams]

Pretty sure the only likes are from mormons.

[HxCdancingisforfags]

Being a mormon doesn't increase success so this video is essentially pointless.....They could have achieved more if they were Atheists because it would have freed up some time for them to get constructive things done.

[hjmcfar397]

those poor kids.....

[delmotag]

Barely half of the public (49%) says they know "a great deal" or "some" about the Mormon religion, and just 25% believe that the Mormon religion and their own religion have a lot in common. Just 53% of the public expresses a favorable opinion of Mormons. Moreover, three-in-ten Americans (31%) say they do not believe that Mormons are Christians, and another 17% say they are unsure about this.

[xxiluvangelxx]

So, you're just gonna brag? Sorry if I am being mean, but, I don't really like mormons my sis made me watch the video and I am trying really hard not to swear lmao

[jesuslovesyou223]

my names marina, i work in a school, i speak english and spanish, and im presbyterian. nobody cares about my deatails or religion, what makes mormons think people care about their lives?

[MrMattgreider]

All these people are the same.

[GPCPolitics]

That guy works for the United Nations? Screw the UN and there New World Order.

America is the best and we will fight back against the UN. 14/88

[beyongson6]

@GPCPolitics america is a part of the UN you idiot

[MrDouglasXD]

@GPCPolitics The United States created the UN. So...

[apolanco602]

@GPCPolitics i like the nwo with hulk hogan ,hall and kevin nash

[mathwizperson]

So... The Point Is?

[JMH5665]

oh my as I sit here and read through these comments I start to realize how none of you know the actual religion. My advice to you if before you start bashing on it find out what it really is and not what you hear from people. Maybe sit down and do some research. We dont believe Christianity is American and so if you have a lot of kids you are mormon. Seriously if you are going to sit here and judge someone on there religion then who are you.

[tehgreatist]

so.. youre normal. cool? being mormon doesnt give me superpowers? whats the point?

it seems like most of these mormon videos are aimed at converting women.

[MarkyJayStudios]

@nachtcrus haha ummm if they were normal people, they could care less about god, would get divorced probably within the first 2 years of their marriage, wouldnt want to have any kids during their marriage and focus on their careers instead, etc.. overall they wouldnt have a very happy life..aaron and emily are extremely happy, unlike many people of the world…how could you hate them for having a happy life? ohh wait but why do they have a happy life? because of what the mormon church teaches.

[phil12232]

There is no evidence at all that the book of mormon wasn't just made up. I tried to read it once and was bored numb. The phrase " and it came to pass" is repeated 1300 times!! Its like what a 7th grader does when their report needs to be no less then a 1000 words. Joesph Smith would have gotten a D- if he turned the book of mormon in as his assignment from Ms. Benson in Junior high, I guarantee it!!

[tngodzilla379]

I do agree that this being on youtube is ridiculous, but just because your a part of a religion doesn't mean you are the reason that religion sucks. Do I think the baptist religion sucks because a priest from a baptist church spat on me in Utah when I was five and called my family demons? No, because there are good people that are baptist. I'm normally a really to-my-self person, but you know, I really hate stereotypes that people make. There are crazies in every religion. . .

[mattiethedrummer616]

Mormons.... the belief that Christianity is AMERICAN. No wonder countries hate us.

[GPCPolitics]

@mattiethedrummer616 Oi! 80% of the world are christain, If your not Christain get out of my country. America was a white christain land! 14/88

[Lclaribel]

@GPCPolitics

America, was not "white" land ...American Indians were here on this continent before the arrival of Europeans, who then stole it from them. They also stole, oh no sorry "purchased" part of it from Mexicans..so I think you should keep your prejudiced comments to your self. It doesn't matter weather people are African American, Mexican, Japanese, or Russian..or weather people are Mormon, Catholic, or Jehova's Witnesses, what matters is the actual person & his/her actions/feelings.

[Freyja1133]

@Lclaribel oth california& texas.. go read a american history book sometime!

[teushu]

@Freyja1133 Aint got to many mormons in Texas check New Mexico or Arizona we try to keep em out of Texas, with the help of Chuck Norris that is...(had to type that or Chuck Norris will hunt me down and kill me) :)

[Lclaribel]

@GPCPolitics

Oh, and i take it you said "If your not Christain get out of my country" Because you're Christian?? Well in that case, i think you should go talk to someone in your church, because, that my friend, is NOT the Christ like thing to say.

[Freyja1133]

@Lclaribel yeah, but they tend to stirr up trouble in other countries...look at isreal for instance.. the crusades wouldn;t have happened if the Pope hadn;t ahve said deus volt (the christain god wills it) the judist& tehmuslems would beable to get a,long with each other if the third bothersome religion wasn;t there

[MrMattgreider]

@GPCPolitics Isn't it more like 40% or 50%?

[Freyja1133]

@GPCPolitics would you mind explaining to me why  th catholic church is involved with italian Politics?

seems to me that the last tiem religion & politics were combined people were burned at the stake!

[SyIvania]

That's just too many kids, there's over 6 billion people on earth, honestly, concrete now takes over MILES AND MILES of nature's land, does anyone else see an issue with this? Call me a tree hugger, but that's too many kids, there's hardly any wildlife left now we want to have 10 kids and have be acceptable?

Forget that, let's just backoff the baby boomer stage, you don't NEED 4 KIDS.

[goosetuff79]

i dont care how busy you are, im not going to become a mormon.

[theMyl0]

oh i thought this video was a youtube ad

[CazHattrick11]

Is this some cheezy way to convert us to the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?" Phew... I'm not becoming a Mormon if you guys put so much effort into these videos to try and explain how your "normal."

[carlyle101]

I think Mormons should be offended by this video. It makes it seem like people weren't sure whether Mormons were human or not before this video came out.

[CEWTOS]

You're zone v. man-on-man defense strategy won me over, very cute video!

[brainbid]

Not enough details here, who takes care of their 3 children if they both work? Futhermore, having 3 young kids and both working means that their couple relationship (the dyad) can't have that much intimacy.

[shaftyfingers]

they people need a drink

[sugercube99]

the message: Mormons are people not robots who live in their church.

[ianisamonkey1]

oh the energy... -_-

[18lalalalala]

I don't understand the point. Are they trying to get rid of stereotypes about mormons, or tell you that your life is better if you're mormon?

[thehermitman]

I am SO confused by the negative reception of these videos.

Being a member of the LDS church really does improve your life if you're in it for the right reasons. You learn to be a better member of the community and family. You are led to find a real faith in Jesus Christ. We're just trying to spread that message to people who are looking for meaning and help in life.

[6XstringXsamurai]

@thehermitman I don't think it's just LDS churches that are getting ridiculed. It's all of religion and every religion. People are finally evolving enough to realize how completely delusional it all is. And if Mormons are christians...why not just call yourselves Christians? You single yourself out and thus force people to think LDS's are something strange and different...and you know how gracefully people handle things that are different than them.

[Lclaribel]

@6XstringXsamurai

I want to start by saying i'm NOT a LDS. lol..BUT, "mormons" don't single themselves out, other people single them out as Mormons. Also, i bet you don't go around saying catholics are "strange & different" just because they call themselves Catholics AND believe in christ? Right?

[apollokid2]

religions are like annoying people on facebook. they try to get the most people in their networks. and for what?

[GermanChocolateCake]

@apollokid2 For profit. That's all organized religion has ever really been about. Money. Truly the root of all their evil.

[cmcd146]

@apollokid2 money. period

[BACHIU1]

@apollokid2 SALVATION!!!!!

[dougsusername]

and they wonder why the guys who created South Park made a Broadway play about them. god the possibilities of parody.

[MindBloodandDark]

I think they're trying to say, "look how perfect your life could be if you were a mormon!" It's just, I'm guessing, a scam. I have mormon friends, and their lives are nothing extraordinary.

[JetLife2223]

these mormans are taking over the world.. starting with youtube.

[ThaMadArmenian]

Why do mormons love Armenians?

[BrotherhoodOfTheDead]

why is this so entertaining with the 1911 filter put on?

[KylesNuclearFilms]

@BrotherhoodOfTheDead Im missed that i was at a freinds house :(

[animefreakk567]

Okay...so what was the point of this video?

[smakmybitchup341]

Don't you know that the book of mormon is not the word of God because at the end of the book of Revelation it says you shouldn't add or take away anything that was written in the Bible? and also didn't you know that none of the other prophets before Joseph Smith ever claimed there were any "errors" in the Bible that "needed correcting"

[undyinglight]

@smakmybitchup341 The Bible is not in chrnological order, The Book of Revelation is not the last book written in The Bible although it is the last book in the order of which the Bible was organized. The Book of Mormon is not part of The Bible either it is another testament of Jesus Christ. Over the years as the Bible was translated from language to language some minor elements were lost in translation. It would have been correct at the timeit was written however.

[GretchenDawntreader]

@smakmybitchup341 clearly you are under the mistaken impression no one throughout medieval history ever changed stuff in the bible. Do some research.

I'm not defending mormonism, I am lumping them together with all religions as worthy of ridicule...including christophilia.

[kmaculate]

@GretchenDawntreader actually, if you take a real class or do some honest research on how many manuscripts there were of the Bible, and the monotonous process scribes and apprentice scribes took to copy the Bible, you would see that it would be nearly impossible to change the Bible even if you really wanted to, because there are so many copies and those tediously copying the manuscripts. And in the 1940s, the dead sea scrolls were discovered to date back to 250 BC, showing to be 99.5% accurate.

[Benelech]

Mormons aren't normal, and they're only awesome if you like playing board games and waking up early.

[exmortis]

These are such misleading and stupid videos.

[martinaee]

"uuuuuughhhh that energy....." Sounds like she has something specific in mind....

And yeah, wtf is this.... Mormons have to show they aren't completely psycho? I'll give them this... I think they are less crazy than Scientologists...

[chloerocks1999]

OMG MORMANS HAVE FRIENDS! (This gotta be fake...)

[kittygobark1]

i'm sorry, but mormanism sounds like a disease.

[archuletaluver247]

jimmer should definitely do a mormon commercial.

[IIIBLAKEIII]

My grandma is mormon.... she is crazy as hell.

[hornsofarabbit]

normal people are boring. mormons are boring.

think for yourselves, or be sheep to the slaughter of the human spirit!

[wwefanworld]

What is the point?! WHAT IS THE POINT?!?!

[Scoopicus]

Come on, tell us about what we really want to know about.

Tell us about...

...the magnets.

[psychonaut101]

Evangelistic people are pretty cool till they find out you aren't going to be converted by them, then this sort of lovely pitiful middle finger pops up in your face as they walk to the next house. It's kind of annoying.

[audible67]

to paraphrase: 'Hey, we're perfectly normal people...except for the unfortunate fact that we happen to believe in some totally ridiculous, make-believe, borderline sci-fi nonsense.'

[tyobfarty]

Damn the mom like had an orgasm. "AWW Yeah His energy!"

[songbrd29]

I love this showing how this family is so active and loving!!!

[bradthompson90]

why are you a suggested video? i was watching a black ops montage.

ps...magnets?

[bakester14]

I am very confused as to what to think... What is happening to my senses? Jazz music? Why? Illustrious husband... What?

[andro6657]

WOW, great vid, except they said absolutley nothing about the ridiculous beliefs of this religion! haha they could have said "I'm (insert any religion here)" and it wouldn't change anything, pointless

[hera1974]

If Mormons were like everyone else why on earth would they need to pay youtube to spam every page with their videos?

[Sherigami]

"It's ok... we're normal like you... hehe :D"

*steals wallet*

[vendo233]

My name's Glagnar, I'm a flesh eating monster.... I like long walks on the beach, mostly to kill people, severing their heads and throwing them to the sharks. I find that its...quite relaxing.. I also love pizza! Yes, yes, pizza is my favorite. I work for First Bank & Trust as a teller, its not a bad job, it's very rewarding at times. My name is Glagnar, and I'm a Mormon.

[Rupert1901]

only Mormons would post videos on YouTube about how they are normal and awesome, give me a break please!

[delmotag]

@Rupert1901 Mathew 5 : 16

Let your alight so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

[BACHIU1]

@Rupert1901 whats wrong with that? you watched the video and now you know how normal and awesome they are hahaha

[Paleksandar]

What is mormon ??????

What is it ????

[djclintonk]

Thank god I'm an Atheist!

[HetalianIdiot]

"We went from man-to-man to zone defense."

Did anyone else recognise that joke from Baby Blues?

[lesson5line2]

I don't understand how so many people dislike this video. It's a fun little vid w/ a reality feel about a family and some of their life details. I thought people generally liked reality tv. Very well done to, by the way. Was it the Mormon detail? What if they were Baptist,...or Muslim? Would it still be so many dislikes? Hmmm....

[rocaho001]

Hmmm the fact that all the comments are moderated speaks enough for itself. But moderate all you want guys, the dislike bar speaks enough in its own way.

[funnyguy8844]

are mormon's normal?

[funnyguy8844]

you forgot to mention that you're thicker than a block of rion.

[tigersforlife6767]

Don't become Mormon!! They'll kick you off their basketball team for having sex!!

[thespecialneedsgroup]

I can't figure out what the message of this ad is.

[cydlovesmike]

Marketing faith, weird!

I thought we we're supposed to be "attracted" to Jesus because He alone can reconcile us to the Father and forgive us of our sinful condition.

Not attracted to "normal" Mormons who can hold a job and laugh to upbeat music.

Jesus said we we're gonna be hated in this world, the more you look like the world, the less you look like Him!

I pray one day you would meet the true Jesus and be reconciled to the Father and not worry about fitting in!

[MehrunesDaagon]

Mormonism is odd, sure, but the simple fact is: Most, if not every (and I do believe it is in fact every) Mormon person I have ever met has been one of the nicest, most pleasant people I've ever encountered.

I find the faith to be strange, as do a great many people, but... whatever. They don't seem to harm anyone and, as I said earlier, they are generally very nice people.

Nice vid. I can't believe I'm actually saying this here, usually I'm the Dark Lord, but... how can you be cruel to this?

[bfesser]

Why do you have so many damn kids?

[shadowtriber666]

boooooring!

[jvwashere2]

hmm every mormon video i have seen is rich white people

[2ninjas1blade]

no no no no no.... This isnt how people live, first off they need to be tan. Then They need muscles, and every night they should go to a club and bring home women. At least once every season they have to be arrested, oh wait I was thinking of jersey shore nevermind

[UnPocoPolloLoco]

Haha. Mormons aren't people.

[jubabeast]

Whew! I have a few thousand jobs I think these people could get done for me in a couple of hours. Otherwise the plan is to hook them to a chain and anchor. I love people who can do everything. Great video.

[treehuggertwo]

If you have to make 40 videos to show that mormons are 'normal' I would suggest

you 'doth protest too much!"

[Tregen300]

so they have what? 30-40 children?

[surfergirlva]

I know them.... :)

[palimony]

you are not good mormons until you have more children, and keep going

[MikeReiner]

I used to be a Morman. I like to think of those days as the 'dark ages' of my life.

[MNBrant]

Nice professionally done video. Wow who did that for you? Liked the peppy music?

[lizurds]

Aaron.. you taught us Italian at the Y! Neat to see you on YouTube! :) Corey & Liz Butcher

[augusts1]

@lizurds Neat. I so hate that word, it's just so keen, gosh golly gee willikers!

[InfiniteMushroom]

Doesn't impress me in the least. Lots of self-congratulations and bragging about the imaginary work they do. Conceptual art meets employment!

I've actually known real holy men, monks, and one Eastern Orthodox hermit who had incredible energy around him and the light of God in his eyes!

The Sherinians, and other churchy posers like them, aren't fit to wash their robes.

[popkarma]

@InfiniteMushroom the heck u talkin bout. its all hogwash anyway.

[danmx]

Sure the commercials are nice, and they have a nice family going for them but they dont show you ANYTHING about what it is to be mormon. My gf's family is mormon, and as pretty as this picture may be painted, it doesn't hide that her family and fellow mormon community is VERY judgemental and non accepting of others. I came in with an open mind even considering someday becoming mormon, I came out feeling judged by my native religion, color of skin, and just about anything they could find

[12lirpa]

@danmx Bs We are taught to accept all eighter they were inactive or simply not Mormon because we are suppose to love all religions and not judge ( even Athiests).

[MagicMaureen46]

@danmx I'm a convert to the Mormon church and I'm sorry if you have found that Mormons are judgemental and non-accepting of others. Of course you will find this in any religion, but we as Latter-Day Saints are not supposed to judge people. Maybe you took things wrong or misunderstood, I don't know. And as I've said many times, there are alot of misconceptions about Mormons, and things taken out of context. If I believed a fraction of what I've read online, I'd think Mormons were wacky, too! : )

[KougasGal101]

@danmx That sucks that you found such a mean family.I'm not anywhere close to a christian(or any other religion)frankly I'll never be involved in religion because I think organized religion is silly. But I was in foster care and placed with the most wonderful morman family.(maybe it was just them but they were so cool to me even though they knew I didn't share their beliefs^_^)Not the whole community is that mean, some are cool! Maybe where you lives they're mean.Sorry you found meanieheads T.T

[psychonaut101]

@danmx Mormons as of 5 years ago had the highest rate of psyche med use in their culture. They women especially are forced to live up this "Leave it to Beaver" type mother role. Always happy, always emotionally available working and home making and it wears some of them to the ground. Their teenage children also have a HUGE problem with Oxycontin, I know I treat a lot of them!

[ThatHaloGuy117]

@danmx Hello, my name is Josh, I'm also morman, I am of Loasian and European decent. the LDS church Helped my mother in this country when she came here as a refugee. They did not care about her racial or religious background. My Morman community is very caring and non-judgemental of everyone. Whoever you're talking about are jerks. You can't judge A group of people over a small faction or community. I don't care if you're Morman or not, just that you don't judge people like that its wrong.

[augusts1]

@danmx Not to mention how totally dysfunctional their mind set & behaviour really is. Most religions are like this unfortunately.

[missymarianne]

More than normal!! Wow. I was exhausted just watching this! One thing stood out "what a perfect pair"

[omiolo]

some how we all make it work.

[marykeith47]

What a beautiful family!

[nilvafe]

Mormons is a very special. NilAllen

[NachtCrus]

so... the message is that mormons are normal people?

[99strk0]

@NachtCrus are you sure...? Hmmm i dontttt knowww

[binarooble]

@NachtCrus We basically are...

[3309851]

@binarooble

she loves those oranges, u can tell, hoarders!

[Pwndlol]

@NachtCrus basically, because most people think that all mormans are really weird.

[Dulcimerist]

@NachtCrus It's as if they have something to hide...

I keep seeing this and the videos by British Petroleum in the promoted videos section, which leads me to believe that Mormons and BP have something in common.

[carloscampozano]

@NachtCrus Exactly, everyone thinks their a freaking cult, but they are actually normal people.

[LordValor001]

@NachtCrus Then im Robocop

[makesyouhigh]

yeahhh armenian!

[MrAnonymousCritic]

This is awesome!

[brotherfrank62]

There is only one way to forgive, and thats from the heart :)
