God bless you guys. I hope you grow with christ away from Mormonism. Though they are mostly nice people, smith was a false prophet. The blessing of the dead is called necromancing and is strictly forbidden in the bible.
Excellent job! Every Mormon should view this. My problems with the BofM began years ago while reading 2 Ne. 5. After seeing the impossible population explosion, steel making, temple like Solomon's, and wars (plural) between the Nephites/Lamanites...I happened to look down at the time. They had only been in the new world about 30 years. Really? Two nations in 30 yrs? Yes, and King Nephi was still alive. King over whom? Think aboout it...Maybe 200 people mostly teens and children did all that?
What I believe should not be overlooked is all the well wishes and supportive people who have taken the time to post their encouragement here. It speaks well of each of you....
God bless all who find the courage to leave and best wishes in your spiritual journey
I just want to thank you for posting this video. I am not, nor have I ever been a Mormon, but I have many friends who are LDS and I pray to God each day that they will find their way out. Thank you for exposing the hypocrisy and lies that this faith propagates. Congratulations to your family for your new found enlightenment. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Great courage to leave - greater courage to explain to the world why..so clearly. All religions are false and aim to control others and bind them to the lie. JS was a freemason first and a philanderer who committed adultery many times with many women and no one excommunicated him. Rules for the sheep and no rules for the judas goat leading them.
Thanks for your courage. There are actually 4 former mormons for every active member. Hopefully your courage inspires others to also post their story.
I'm happy to see from your video and the comments on it that seem to show that people leaving Mormonism don't seem to lose their faith in God and salvation through Jesus. You are Christians. No fear.
Awesome. Love the the parts of actually showing/proving the book of Mormon wrong. I often wonder how a mormon would respond to all these negations. How do they explain it away?
thank GOD you got out of that place,,,I pray for everyone who is stuck in that false religion,,,there are some wonderful people in that church trying hard to make themselves righteous for GOD and its impossible,,,Jesus Christ is the way!
Everybody should take time to make a thoughtful, articulate video like this when they grow beyond Mormonism.
It is so easy to come off like a confused and angry person to LDS members, because it is frustrating that we are aware of so many details that they haven't seen and have thought through them.
We need to be able to open and calm with our Mormon friend's and acquaintances in order for us to reach them.
Congratulations for getting out of the binds of Mormonism. There is a lot that people do not know about this faith unless they do the research. Joseph Smith was NOT a prophet. He was a delusional man who lied to people for his own gain. So many are duped into believing this is a Christian organization. So glad you got out of this. And thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you for explaining this in a patient way -- for those of us who have left other organizations with similar history and motivations, our liberty is not found in our absence from our former leadership, but in the grace of God through Jesus Christ's sacrifice. When religious organizations claim that we gain salvation through their own machinations, rather than by grace -- and a relationship with God through them, rather than through Jesus Christ, they expect us to discard the Word of God.
Thanks for your video; I just left too after 30+ years in with my family, but still believe in Jesus. Regarding Book of Mormon, it is also curious that there are 30 references to Jesus prior to 3 Nephi, and 175 mentions of Christ before 3 Nephi...Old Testament has none. How is it that these people straight from Jerusalem knew so much of Jesus specifically when no other Jews did? Seems to me plagiarism is the reason.
I also personally find a strong parallel between the temple to save your dead ancestors (and in particular even stronger now with tithing required for a recommend) is much to close to Martin Luther's phrase (with one minor variation by me): "When a coin in the coffer rings, a soul from [Spirit Prison] springs." Pay money and go through the ceremony to save your ancestors!?!?!?!?!
I like Mormons, lots of nice people but the whole Joseph Smith story to me exposes him as nothing more than a matchstickman. I think Charles Russell saw how well the Mormon scam worked so he started his own similar (business) with the Jehovah's Witnesses later in that same century.
Excellent video and testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ! You now have an unaltered relationship directly between you and Jesus Christ. Welcome to the sons and daughters of the light. As an ex-Mormon myself we now must follow Jesus Christ and gently minister to those who need Christ in their lives.
Very well done. All true believers of the Bible as the only inspired book by God and Christianity should watch this video. This is a lesson for all people who tend to deviate from the word of God and put MAN and all Organizations into the position of a IDOL GOD.
Thank You so much for your courage. I have sent this vid to the missionary who confirmed me. He has been unsurprisingly distant since other missionaries (I know) told him I have left the church. Every family who courageously Turns on the Light of Truth as they leave the Darkness of mormonism helps remove scales from the eyes of others...can you hear them tinkling onto the ground ?
The Mormon Hierarchy has traditionally done all it has the power to do to make hell on earth for those leaving Mormon Inc. 19th Century Mormonism, the True and Everlasting Restoration, is replete with the ruin the hierarchy heaped on its minions. To the extent they can, I'm sure nothing has changed. The closer someone is chained to the hierarchy thru business, etc, the more pain the Hierarchy will inflict.
This has got to be one of the best video's against mormonism that I have seen.Going to see if my stepson will watch it,he needs to.Thank you and God bless this fam.
@Jack44M "They weren't their friends because true friends don't stop being a friend when someone leaves a religion." A little harsh.
The "friends" who engage in shunning someone who has been honest to their beliefs and resigned from the LDS church are symptomatic of the pressure to the notion that apostates are a bad influence.
Ironically it damages the person doing the shunning causing more internal conflict and guilt. Instinctively they know there must be a problem if they need to do this.
@awolLDSasap Mormons claim JS was a poor country boy, so how could he do this? Well, Champollion was a poor country boy and he interpreted Real Egyptian. JS mistakes, as documented here, show he didn't bat a 1000. Tolstoy wrote War and Peace in Real Russian and since then, Behold, it has not suffered as the BofM has suffered under the redacting pen of the secret Mormon Mythogog and de-historian.
This is so encouraging; many of my closest friends in high school are mormon and a lot of my confusion/frustration from it resulted in me to go to Moody Bible Institute to better know MY faith in order to possibly, up to God, have an opportunity to challenge Mormons in a loving ways and to better understand THEM as well as how to talk with them about our Savior. :p This video was incredibly encouraging and has a lot of meat to it. Thank you!
Well said. Thank you for taking the time to share your testimonies with us. I hope and pray that as mormons and other cult followers watch this that their eyes will be opened to truth.
I found the candidness and sincerity in the 18 page letter on your website very heart warming.
I wish you every happiness and hope you can maintain the friendships with the LDS members you know. It always strikes me as tragic when long term friendships (and worse still marital relationships) are severed in such circumstances.
Thanks for sharing your story. You are so blessed that your whole family is in unity in leaving the church and finding a relationship with the real Christ together. So many Mormon families have been torn apart when one person in the family discovers the truth about mormonism and the others refuse to even look at or consider the true facts.
Great Video. I came across the Book of Abraham stuff browsing my Scripture Quad one evening. Facsimile No 3 where Joseph Smith identifies a couple of egyptian females as a King and his Prince. I thought this is wierd! So I asked my missionaries who came with a member of the bishopric. How embarrassing for them, they were stumped and ignored what I showed them.
The LDS church has so many blunders and evidence of fraud with its claims that I couldn't make as many up even if I tried to.
the LDS church 'exists' mostly because of Fear & intimidation.
It travels by fear that people have to be Mormon/LDS in order to be with family.
When people ask serious questions about what they're taught, they're BrowBeat & belittled; I know, because I was.
Some honest people in it who 'would be' Christians, but focus is nearly 100% on the things of Mormonism, Not nearly enough focus on Love for God & neighbor, and the qualities that go with those. Appearances mean 'everything' to the LDS...
We also have come to know the mormon church is not true and we left over the summer..was a process ...but during have come to have a personal realationship with chirst and have become born again through his word in the bible...New Testament....I pray more people that have left the church will share their story
Thanks for sharing your family video. I too had similar experiences and reasons for moving beyond an organized church. It truly is about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thank you for sharing your families journey. I pray that the Lord will stand with you and strengthen you, so that many will hear the truth of the Gospel and be rescued from falsehood.
God bless you guys. I hope you grow with christ away from Mormonism. Though they are mostly nice people, smith was a false prophet. The blessing of the dead is called necromancing and is strictly forbidden in the bible.
