How Mormonism Wounds Self-Esteem Part 1

[trader0108]

Does the state government's acceptance of the LDS church's corporate name of "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints", mean that the state government recognizes and grants to each of the members of this church the title of nobility of "Latter Day Saint" that means a living human saint of today ? And if so, is this unconstitutional ?

exmormon foundation rocks.

[MrWSChurchill]

Truly they are a most excellent organization. I'm quite a fan myself. A tip of my hat sir to your most astute observation.

Most respectfully, -WSC

[ExmormonFoundation]

Thanks to you both for stopping by.

All the best, -EMF

[alexxVST]

Thanks to the foundation for the video!

I needed to learn more about this.

LDS religion left some many wounds in my life both physical and mental, Self esteem issues, tension, stress that actually brought acne, and other stuff :S

[ExmormonFoundation]

Hang in there, and know you are not alone in this.

All the best, -EMF

Blaming the church for zits? That's a new one.

[SublimeFlow]

@JediMormon Well zits come with intense stress, it's possible for zits to be caused by anything, if something, in his example an oppressive church figure or system, causes him intense stress during a period in his life, it's entirely possible. I don't see what's ridiculous about that claim at all.

It would be nice if the speaker's name could be included in the video's description.

[ExmormonFoundation]

His name is listed at the start of every part of the presentation. His name is Blair Watson.

[johnPhilos]

Thanks, I missed it. It might be helpful to include it in the video description. Thanks getting these videos up.

[settypatch]

it is always helpful to put a video description up .... and it is ALWAYS time

consuming beyond what anyone would ever guess. Praise to exmormonfoundation

for getting these videos up in the face of the MASSIVE Mormon propagandist onslaught / spam jam of youtube.

Good point.s.

There is good reason why Utah leads nation in antidepressant use. They also lead the nation in narcotic painkillers.

[GiftoAll]

Hey johnP, I was one of those statistics you mentioned. Painkillers.

[alexxVST]

John, I heard that before. I was LDS, and was into a very profound depression that still hurts and wounds my life.

Do you actually have the place where you get those statistics? I'd love to share that with my parents ;) and throw it on their faces. lol

[allmetal71]

@johnPhilos What is the reason? Have you done some research, or do you just listen to those who make random claims based on minimal statistics?

[testskriftene]

Religions hurt many around the world.. sadly

[truthbeknowen]

Agreed Jesus said follow me not no Religion

[GiftoAll]

It's an outrageous shame that when some people leave the church they would go into hiding because of the retribution of LDS family and other members. Once a member denys the church they are blackballed. Not all cases end up this way. Some members will never espouse their beliefs in fear of being labeled an apostate.

[johnPhilos]

The internet is the worst thing to happen to LDS inc.

[osmiolos]

I have noticed that about the EXmormon and ANTImormon movements. The leaders of the movement constantly remind the members how wronged and wounded they were by the Mormons (a loving people).

Then they demand the Mormons face repercussions for these imaginary wrongs!

A very destructive movement!

[Michigan1985]

I love how mormons try to demonize former members and anyone who speaks out against their cult.

:)

[cowdragon]

we have no leaders. We are independent thinkers you robot.

[johnPhilos]

It is nice being allowed to think for myself now that I am not a believing mormon. One reason more people don't leave the church is because they will not conjure up the courage to research their church's history outside sanitized sources.

[cowdragon]

good point.
