YouTube blocked by BYU

[xenuburger]

Good Lord this is not news. They block streaming video in general to manage the network bandwidth.

[IExposeMormonism]

If Mormons are blocking and banning information on the basis of Pornography, Adult content and violence, then Block YOUR RELIGION! (1) I posted testimony declaring SEX was performed in 19th C Endowment ceremonies, with Miss Eliza Snow being a very enthusiastic Eve!,(2) Adam-God, Polygamy, Polytheism and such are Very adult, ban it!(3) Violence?? Dear God.....Mountain Meadows Massacre, Morrisite, Aiken, Gunnison, where to stop? A Blood Atonement doctrine that would make a Jew or Muslim envious.

[solarflare311]

@IExposeMormonism wow just wow~ your comment reek of idiocy at best you are a JOKE!

[IExposeMormonism]

@solarflare311 There are dozens of testimonies from those fleeing 19th C Mormonism. I've posted some of them. And will again, soon. And the Polygamous and Polytheistic nature of Mormonism is irrefutable. Joseph F Smith, the living Mormon Prophet, in 1905, had a debate with RC Evans, bishop, RLDS. Smith proved to Evans JSmiths Polygamy Revelation. He also said "JSmith was killed in Carthage Because of polygamy". I posted both books so there would be no confusion. Explore your religion.

[solarflare311]

@IExposeMormonism ive done the exploring and still exploring,you are very ignorant of our beliefs,dozens have fleed but millions have joined!

[IExposeMormonism]

@solarflare311 You must have put your head in the hat instead of on your head. Then you must have bumped your head on your magic rock. then you saw stars and called it a vision. That's not exploration. That's imitating Joe. No pet rocks, please...At what point did you decide Kabala was a Christian form of worship? Christianity is Monotheistic. Mormonism is Polytheistic. But it's your choice.

[ReligiousZombie]

If the students are truly "righteous" and "walking the straight and narrow path," shouldn't they be able to say no to temptation even when the forbidden fruit is readily available? Whoever decided in favor of the ban, be it admin or student govt, has little confidence that the Mormon god will direct his disciples to exercise self-control.

[moparmonster1965]

If you can't beat 'em, ban 'em.

[ghillies4life]

Actually, BYU students are not not allowed, but just not through University wireless.

[darkwhyt]

I live in the South but I still support them. They have a private code of conduct which should stand for something. GOOD FOR THEM!!! They dont allow grey areas like that to be such a problem. If we didnt have so much porn and crap then they would not have to do this. Dont blame them, but those who made us have to so concerned whether or not the next link is legit or a porno. This girl talking sounds about as dumb as they come as well....

[pillsbury09]

LDS ROCKS.

[euphoria191]

FUCK LDS

[pillsbury09]

WOW. You've got some class ;)

[euphoria191]

More class than you've got. ;) UCSD is actually a hard school to get accepted to. Unlike BYU....where all you have to do is have a 3.5 and be Mormon. What a joke.

[pillsbury09]

No.

The AVERAGE student at BYU has a 4.1, and a 28 on the ACT. ( I got a 30 and I didn't get in due to my 3.5 GPA).

So, actually, BYU is much harder to get into then UCSD. I live in CA and have lots of friends who got into UCSD and not BYU, so you're wrong.

[euphoria191]

Just so you know, both of my parents went to BYU. I applied only because my parents insisted. I got accepted to BYU Provo. But, instead, I chose to go to a legitimate school, a school that focuses on EDUCATION and not on irrelevant topics such as grooming, dress, and chastity.

And are you fucking kidding me? Do some research. UCSD is way harder to get into than BYU. Google it. Just because you have lots of friends who got into UCSB doesn't mean it's easier. Maybe they have high grades.

[pillsbury09]

Are you still LDS??

[euphoria191]

No. Are you LDS?

[pillsbury09]

Yep, convert.

[euphoria191]

Convert to what?

[pillsbury09]

LDS

[euphoria191]

Why would I want to convert to a church that teaches the youth to repress all natural, sexual urges and a church that is completely, undeniably sexist and racist?

[pillsbury09]

No, I thought you were because of your parents...I didn't suggest you convert at all.

[euphoria191]

I'm an atheist (ex-Mormon).

[secretbandmember2]

Haha it said in the salt lake tribune that BYU is NOT the most religious campus, that St. Thomas Aquinas a Catholic campus is the most religious, doesn't surprise me, the mormons are starting to realize that they have NOTHING on the Catholics

[euphoria191]

catholics are just as stupid as mormons

[secretbandmember2]

Yeah go with that haha bitch

[euphoria191]

what?

[euphoria191]

BYU is such a joke. What a horrible, censored, sheltered school. I am so glad I didn't go there like my parents both did. What a pathetic school.

[pillsbury09]

Dude shut up. Why because you want to get wasted like a little fag loser at ASU?? I mean get a life.

BYU is a phenomenal school.

[euphoria191]

Actually, I'm an undergraduate at UCSD. SO FUCK YOU. You are the one who needs to get a life because you can't have sex, party, watch R rated movies, wear two-piece swimsuits, and the list goes on. fuck you, sir.

[anonalie]

The LDS church as well as BYU administration likes to keep a short leash on their income generation machine known as "members". Thank god for Mormon Inc.?

[IkillChristians]

so the BOM teaches taht jesus visted the ancient americas..okay..why didnt he start a CHURCH there then?why didnt teh settlers arrive here and..OH..there is ALREADY a LDS church..? cant you mormon people see the glaring discrepancies here?

[GodLovedJosephSmith]

Jesus Christ did visit the ancient peoples in America and you need to stop being ignorant.

[a999op]

You know this isn't really Christlike but I hate you because of your ignorance.

[Matt007b]

what's kind of funny is you can use youtube for academic purposes..I've used youtube for NASA/space shuttle launch reports and such..

Sorry not trying to offend BYU lovers out there but talk about a lame campus/admin if they're blocking youtube. Youtube deletes videos that contain nudity anyway..what are they afraid of? Why would you want to go to a university that limits what you see or hear?

[radiofreerome]

Perhaps, BYU is afraid its students will learn how to think.

[Devalmont2]

I just wonder, why in the world would students who are justifiably discontent with the university's UNREASONABLE control over free speech and Youtube, remain at this scary place?

[IAMSODAMNNICE]

I'm a big BYU sports fan but I will never go to the school. The Honor Code is a joke. Guy's hair can't grow past the ears, no facial hair(although Brigham Young and Jesus had beards), No swearing, No sex, No parties, Ridicules curfews, Guys and girls cannot live in the same apartment building, not apartments, BUILDINGS, LDS students must go to church on Sunday, while non-LDS students don't, I believe everyone must take a religion class. Oh and no MySpace. You can go on Facebook but not MySpace.

[kiwa17]

Its so sad that you feel that way. You go to BYU, you chose to live a higher law. You promise to live a higher law... its not their fault if your retarded and selfish and cant stand some little old rules. Dont like it? go to another school, but Nazi... haha right.... that was just gay right there. Grow up will ya?

[nolanofboise1]

BYU, higher education and censorship. I just don't get it.

[colimote1978]

the people from utah are wierd, woring and racist!

[reportemdeportem]

Just another Branch or the Mormon Church! BYU is ran like a GERMAN NAZI PRISON CAMP! I went there for 1year and got the hell out! They write down you Cars Lic. Plate number and on weekends the campus police go near by cities to all the bars and check plate numbers to see if any of students are drinking!You can not even FART with out asking permission and all they do is preach and preach about there FAKE RELIGION every day in every class until you want to go out and hang yourself! ONE HUGE PRISON

[kiwa17]

ha you can also watch harry potter on your tube, but that doesnt make it real.... Boon, if you believe everything everyone ever told you, youd be friends with Santa Clause and the tooth fairy right now. ANd seriously, all the haters leaving gay comments... why are you so focused hating someone elses faith? Get your own faith and get a life.... you just look like an asshole putting people down who dont believe what you do. Thats life, get use to it.

[boondoggy2]

I can see why B.Y.U. has chosen to block Youtube.

I left the church last year after having found out the REAL history of the church on youtube.Now, do you really think they want you all to find out what I found out? They need your lifetime tithing checks to pay for the City Creek Mall.

[GodLovedJosephSmith]

You mean you were decieved a year ago and left the church.

Watch any of the videos under my favorites and maybe just maybe God will reinspire you.

Joseph Smith was profesied by Joseph the 12th son of Israel.

Jesus said "The first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first."

the race is almost over and you aren't finishing it on the Lord's side.

[jeyholiday]

woaa

all the mormon haters on here

go and get a life

[xanxolin]

jeyholiday: yeah numb-brain, still following the prophet?

[jeyholiday]

umm what?

[GodLovedJosephSmith]

The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ and his Atonement which has made it possible for us to be able to return to our Heavenly Father. That knowledge is the most important information that we need to know on this earth. That is why the Book of Mormon is so important to us in the last days. The feeling discribed as burning of the bosom is biblical and its mans best attempt in describing with temporal thoughts and words something of God which is not of this world, they are real and factual.

[IkillChristians]

no your book is a work of fiction.jesus christ never went o ancient americas..he clearly told his apostles..that he was ascnending to heaven immediatly and that onlt the APOSTLES owuold see him..so how could he have gone to america?and hwere is your DNA evidence for the BOM...THE WORLD IS WAITING.

[GodLovedJosephSmith]

DNA is no way going to refute the Book of Mormon when you have no idea what you are talking about. Not all the people are asiatic descent as genetics results show. The world just isn't informed. There is plenty of new evidence. Stop being ignorant.

[xanxolin]

Plenty of new evidence? where's the evidence, sources? Be a good example, like the sunday school and priesthood meeeting have been teaching you every sunday.

Please save us from the ignorance!

[biscuitboy33]

if you do a little research of your own, you'll find that 99% of native american tribes (south and central america included) share their dna with northeast asians, not hebrews. so is the book of mormon "the most correct of any book on earth?" it appears not, since its characters, the supposed forefathers of the american indians, came from israel

[pillsbury09]

sowhat? that doesnt prove anything.

you're not a scientist so shut your moth biscuit fag

[solarflare311]

@GodLovedJosephSmith get the hell out of here you stupid ass troll!

[IkillChristians]

oh so anyone who DOESNYT believe...that jesus was in teh ancient americas..and that there were two large hebrew tribes living here...which there is no anthropolgical or DNA data to support..we are "haters"becuz we dont believe afairy tale?

[a999op]

Alway have to rely on science dont you. and its not a fairy tale. I don't see you talking about buddhism. Talk about that instead of attacking oure religion. You think you know everthing don't you it's called faith.

[moslemssuck]

How can the Morg censor porn when it fucks its own members so bad. I want my time, talents, AND money back. You stupid, motherfucking cult.

[Turandot29]

Yeah, right. BYU filters out 3 areas of concern: porn, adult content and violence. If that was true,why does BYU filter out the Recovery from Mormonism site which does not fall into any of those 3 forbidden areas?

Answer: the LDS church is terrified of their young ppl's minds being exposed to the truth of Mormonism.

Also,it's pathetic how an institution of higher learning feels it must control the computer activity of its adults students.

[fearbuachill]

wow. you commenting idiots are insane. you're joking right? "videos that destroy mormons credibilty"? HA! those videos are WEAK!!!!! i've seen 'em all. it's alarming how you're so willing to accept what your leaders and people on youtube tell you. the fact is, the LDS church is and will always be the most powerful church in the WORLD! and YOUR religions wish they could be us. you are so corrupt and twisted. and if your aetheist, screw you.

[moparmonster1965]

I haven't yet seen a video that accurately exposes Mormonism for the fraud that it is.

[IkillChristians]

actually you are wrong...the muslim religion and catholicism are ahead of you.

[GodLovedJosephSmith]

Catholicism isn't even closely similar to the teachings of the Bible.

Also Muslim is the one Jesus Spoke of in the gospel of Matthew.

[kiwa17]

Wow, you live a sad and pitiful life... do you have nothing better to do with your life than to be an asshole to other people? How bout getting a job and doing something actually useful instead of sounding like a retard and a total and utter jack ass? And you know faggit, its not their fault your daddy annal raped you and you have some severe mental issues cause of it.. I highly recommend some therapy for your anger issues.

[manzi71]

FUCK BYU!

[anonalie]

Bandwidth? Funny. The question Mormons should be asking is, what does the church fear... loss of members to pay tithe of course.

[clint25n]

They are blocking it because there are very powerful videos that destroy Mormon's creditability easily found on Youtube.

[solarflare311]

@clint25n you are dsumber than rocks if you use youtube for a valuble source of information on the mormons,my hell your stupid!

[jscl805]

Stop crying about what BYU does with its students. It's a private university, it has all the right to do what it wants. Bottom line, if students don't want to go to BYU they don't have to, but they choose to. So stop bitching about what that school and their church (who runs the school) decides.

[defendtruth]

jsc1805, college is supposed to be the time to learn critical thinking, to form your own world view. Seeing that right of passage taken away from the young people at BYU is disturbing. Since the LDS leaders have a long history of information control with its own members, there is even more reason for concern.

It's alarming that you are so willing to accept your leaders' insistence that you only read or look at what they deem acceptable. Doesn't that cause any alarms to go off in your head?

[Outlaw1257]

LDS can't deal with the truth.

[solarflare311]

@Outlaw1257 we can deal with it and we can deal with ignoramuses like you!

[IExposeMormonism]

@solarflare311 You know what else? This girls blouse and bubushka thingy doesn't fit her very well. It needs to be removed. Then censorshiT at BYU needs to be removed. Then the truth of the Mormon Hierarchy will be exposed. But first things first: the blouse and bubushka.

[udderbutter]

I think BYU is a pretty cool guy. Eh blocks YouTube and doesn't afraid of anything.

[Turandot29]

udderbutter, judging from the content of your post, you must be a BYU graduate.

Apparently, BYU filters out the use of basic grammar, syntax and elementary sentence structure, too.

[DeArmondVI]

Oh no! BYU can't adequately filter out "objectionable" content! The horror of it all! They must now censor YouTube in order to protect the souls of their students!

Aren't LDS members glad to see their tithing going towards paying people to censor YouTube?

Oh yeah, and I'm sure that they're elated over the multi-billion dollar City Center project in SLC (even though just a few weeks ago bishops asked members to give more money for the "missionary fund" as its coffers are low).

[boa274]

BYU can do wat dae want,they have moralz. n its der property n e way!

[gnookergi]

nice script reading!

[deterando]

fortunately I live in off campus.

[crasmane]

Wow. Just like China.

[Shrinlee]

I am from China, why I can log on it still?

[nicksum29]

Because you are not surfing inappropriate material.

[Newsfop]

After all, how dare BYU trust college students to make their own decisions.
