On a Mission: A Mormon in Manhattan

[latinoguy]

This Mormon religion is the one that hates Black people and Dark skinned Latinos .

They preach that "Dark skin" is a curse from God.

This is why there are so few Blacks in the Mormon church and the ones that are there are ignorant to Mormon History of past and present hatred for them.

[KendallPolson]

@latinoguy umm we don't hate them. Wherever you got that information it's wrong. They were kept from receiving the priesthood till a looooooong time ago. There is no hate towards any race in the Church we are taught to love everyone.

[Nazgul001]

Great video bro!

[peterfoniciello]

Hey Elder Ang and Elder Raymond, I didn't know you were on the web!!! 'Das cool!!

[stariray23]

well Elder Ang and other missionaries knows that despite of difficulties, the church will always be true...I was on his shoes in the same situation, worked with him at the same place, yet it definitely just made me stronger in my beliefs...things that are not only known in your head but also in your heart. Nothing can waver that for sure.

[af2677]

I am very impressed with these young Men sacrificing their precious 2 years to serve God. They gave up all of their comfortable materials in this world and concentrate on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. How many of you are willing to do this? I am very proud of everyone of them. I give my thanks to all of them to serve God.

[ElderJoseph]

Wiat until Elder Ang finds out Joseph Smith was marrying other mens wives and proposing to many when their husbands were away on missions! lol

And wait til he finds out all the lies he has been taught in seminary.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes then or his shirt and tie LDS type pharisee errand boy outfit. lol

[richang1]

Wow...casting the first stone...???

[ElderJoseph]

@richang1 You can't fool me wearing a shirt and tie. I had a pink tie also!

How many people did you mislead on your mission peddling for Josephs Myth? How many people did you bring to a church which then teaches them Smith only had one wife Emma and yet he had dozens of them including coersing 14 year olds.

Its ridiculous. The shirt and ties and black badges mean nothing except to anyone follish enough to be suckered by the cult.

Would you give your to the prophet ?

[Superman8679305]

@ElderJoseph

Why do you lie? I have attended the LDS church for over 40 years and NOBODY has ever said in those meetings that Joseph Smith "only had one wife Emma." Explain to me how the church teaches this, when I have never heard such a thing. Since you are so bold as to claim he used coercion (btw, learn how to spell you clown! -No, learn how to 'right click' your mouse and use spell correction.) on 14 year olds, prove your claim. Learn to spell 'foolish'! I'm a sucker in a cult? reet!

[ElderJoseph]

@Superman8679305

1. Show me some quotes from church DVD's that show Joseph Smith had multiple wives? These were being shown to potential recruits like myself.

2. Show me a Sunday School manual-lesson which gives us names of other wives except his wife Emma?

3. Joseph Smith couldn't spell and look at your Zeal for him? Cult recruit you are.

[richang1]

So ElderJoseph..Are you casting the first stone...???

[melonbarmonster]

Hey stupid not casting the first stone doesn't mean you get a free pass in LYING and claiming demonstrative FALSE statements. That kind of retard reading miscomprehension of Bible is why retard Mormons exist in the first place.

[Superman8679305]

@ElderJoseph

Learn to spell 'wait.' Why should I wait for Elder Ang? I am a future version of Elder Ang. I have learned everything you mention about JS Jr.'s plural wives. I am not regretful, nor have I deceived those I taught, what I taught on MY mission 20 yrs ago. Specifically, what are the seminary lies to which you refer? You call me a pharisee!?! You are a coward who slings epithets behind a mask of anonymity. What about me, Ang or LDS Missionaries deserves being labeled a pharisee?

[166beads]

I was a mormon from a young child to a teenager, it was not for me, there are a lot of things thats I do not agree with in the mormon religion, I also did not see myself becoming an elder, I was pressured into becoming an elder, luckily I have my own brain and did not see this a good choice in life. I have lived a happy life without the need for religion and would encourage others to break free.

[lususvir]

Hey, this was my mission too. I love new york.

[jacecrawford]

haha if i can't handle the truth haha this is a pro mormon video you idiot . . . i can handle the truth just fine :) i would like to see you say this to the black professor at byu my friend :) tell me about your conversation when your done i want to know if he leaves the church k :)

[melonbarmonster]

You think anecdotal evidence is a reply to all??? LOL. That's some ridiculous gradeschool logic you mormons seem to repeat. I've argued with plenty of professors, most of them are clueless as anyone else beyond the narrow field of their study. As I pointed out by your retard logic consent would make everything alright. In the grown up world you need to analyze and validate the truthfulness of claims on its own merits instead of saying black people believe it too.

[melonbarmonster]

btw you're supposed to 'argue' with professors stupid not just listen to everything they say. Arguing and proving you ideas and is how science and all academia progresses. You need to read and study hard. You need a lot of education.

[jacecrawford]

wow. . . you guys are a joke . . . get a real hobby why don't you proselyte for your beliefs instead of slandering others

[melonbarmonster]

Ok mormon. This is the internet. If you can't handle the truth then don't watch this video and don't leave comments here.

[latinoguy]

It is a proven fact that Mormons HATE Black People !!!

[Superman8679305]

@latinoguy

That is an accusation that I will hold you accountable for. For your sake, I hope that the owners of YouTube sympathize with your lies. I'm reporting you. Your hate-filled comment here will not stand.

[dwnet]

sorry but you waist your time and the time of others

[jacecrawford]

yep you know your book of mormon :) explain the black people who are members of the church ??? Like the LDS professor in the department of Religion at BYU . . . i guess he hasen't seen that scrip yet hahah i'll bet he leaves the church when he reads it . . . . melonsauce and illegal face grow up guys :) what church do you guys go to ?

[melonbarmonster]

People yearn community and acceptance. That's why people long to belong in something from country clubs, social cliques to plenty of things that are unsavory, immoral and even illegal. According to your logic, if someone in an abusive situation willingly decides to be there then there's nothing with the abuse and the abusers are innocent.

[melonbarmonster]

I can't stand mormons...

[llegalPlayer]

I had two Mormon Missionaries come to the front of my house a few days ago,I showed them I know there Evil Racist Mormon Doctrine well,When our conversation was over they had admitted they believe God curses people with black skin,My next store neighbors were watching

"...cursing to come upon them,yea,even a sore cursing...the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)"

"and the CURSING which hath come upon their skins...(Book of Mormon,Jacob 3:5)"

[Superman8679305]

@llegalPlayer

You are a very deceptive person. You pretend that the passage above has been inferred by all Mormons to mean that all people with black skin or dark skin are cursed, which all Mormons do NOT infer from that quote. You really have no sense of right or wrong, do you? You would do anything underhanded to vilify the members of the LDS church, wouldn't you? Shame on you! Go back to school (starting at the 4th grade) and learn to spell 'their' -why don't you?

[jwnaugle]

why can't you stand mormons?

[melonbarmonster]

They believe in pretty outrageous things that are demonstratively untrue even in comparison to other religions. Even atheists and secular academics admit this point. Mormons get away with it by hiding their kooky beliefs until people commit to higher levels of commitment. Same tactic as scientologists. It's a common cult strategy. I find such mormon practices to be manipulative and dishonest.

[Superman8679305]

@melonbarmonster

I'm sure you hate yourself too, because you are manipulative and dishonest. Plus, you are also a kook, so it is ironic that you do not find yourself very much at home among kooky beliefs.

[melonbarmonster]

They believe dark skinned races are cursed. They also believe American Indians are the lost tribe of israel in spite of modern genetics proving that American Indians are not from middle east. Joseph Smith was arrested for fraud in NY defrauding people with magic stones before he became a religious leader, the list of demonstratively ridiculous beliefs goes on and on.

[lususvir]

Oh man, I love how you people regurgitate the same anti-mormon crap over and over and over. It's so funny. All you have to do is type anti-mormon into google and everyone becomes equipped with the same garbage. Hahahahahaha.

[melonbarmonster]

maybe because they are obvious objections that anyone with half a brain and a grade school education would raise?? LOL. You claim native americans are lost tribe of israel, a dolt would want DNA evidence to verify the claim. Joseph Smith having a criminal record for fraud would be credible criticism against the man's character or lack thereof. It goes on and on.

[lususvir]

No, the list of "I'm an idiot and I can't think for myself" goes on and on. Also, i never said i was mormon, maybe I just can't stand morons that have no basis for an argument other than what everyone else is saying. DNA? Really? Wouldn't we all have the same DNA if we can from Adam anyway? Obviously we don't. And how easy would it be to make up a story about Joseph Smith and fraud. "Hey, joseph smith had a criminal record." Really? and all the morons believe it. hahahahahahaha. Shut up.

[melonbarmonster]

You are a moron. It's genetically proven that everyone has a common genetic ancestor. That's a scientific fact. You can trance populations of entire continents to a single male progenitor through their Y chromosomes. And Joseph Smith's criminal record in on file in the NYS court records. It's not made up. Seriously how do you live with yourself being so ignorant and oblivious of the world you live in?

[Superman8679305]

@melonbarmonster

Hey loser, Nelson Mandela In 1962 was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges, and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. What's a criminal record have to do with the validity of someone's ideas, knowledge, belief system, etc. -BTW, stop using 'retard' as an epithet. -I have friends with down-syndrome who are smarter than you, and I have case for your comments being against YouTube T&Cs.

[melonbarmonster]

So you never said you're a mormon?? LOL. Are you saying you're not a mormon then? You just go to BYU and defend mormonism on youtube and you think you can try to be coy and hide your mormon retardation because you never explicitly said you were mormon?? LOL. Are you 5th grade because you're making gradeschool arguments.

[melonbarmonster]

"Hey, this was my mission too. I love new york." You are a retard of the highest order. And you mormons don't believe in the existence of State of NY Superior Court records? You may not like the ruling and the existence of the arrest and verdict but their existence is a matter of undeniable fact. When you willy nilly deny its existence you look like a moron without a cogent grasp of reality. Go get access to lexis nexis and look it up.

[lususvir]

@melonbarmonster oooh, you speak daring words, so tough and brave posting comments on youtube, look at you go, telling me what I believe. No one cares what you are saying, especially me. The only person that looks like a moron is you. Later.

[melonbarmonster]

@lususvir You don't get to hold subjective beliefs about DNA. NYS Court records are also not subject to "belief".  You can believe whatever fantasy you want. But if when you enter the public realm like the internet, you better make sure you're making claims and arguments that are logically sound and factually supported. Truth sets you free and your enslaved to lies and ignorance. Good job.

[lususvir]

@melonbarmonster Your beliefs are subjective. You think they prove mormonism wrong. They don't. Stranger things have happened. The Lord confounded the languages at the tower, maybe he confounded the DNA too so that people would actually have to use faith and not proof. You can keep your DNA so called "proof." I'll go by faith, which is what the scriptures say. Thanks for the good job :)

[melonbarmonster]

@lususvir DNA is not belief and NYS Court records are not belief. The Bible says GOd confounded language. The retard book of mormons says nothing about God 'confounding' DNA. Also DNA evidence is not "confounded". It's very clear about where the American Indian populations came from and at what period in history they migrated and populated the Americas.

[lususvir]

@melonbarmonster my arguments are logical, you just can't conjure a logical understanding of them. You are very irrational in your arguments. Your God seems to be confined to what he has created. He created DNA, but certainly can't tamper with it. If you like the weak God that mainstreamism is so fond of, then go ahead. But the God I believe in can do anything. I don't need to explain facts, THAT'S NOT FAITH. I know the book of mormon is true and none of your facts will change it.

[melonbarmonster]

@lususvir You have no arguments. You're just denying DNA evidence on the basis of ignorance. You don't have an explanation for it. And Book of Mormon says nothing about God tampering with DNA. That is some BS you made up in your head. Nice going trashing your own religious text.

[lususvir]

@melonbarmonster I'm done, you're irrational and I can't say anything. I love the book of mormon!!!

[Superman8679305]

@melonbarmonster

Liar! I do NOT believe dark skinned races are cursed! The LDS church does not encourage, perpetuate or even tacitly condone or endorse such beliefs. How dare you vent your hate language here?! Retract your statement to the contrary or I will flag it. You have 1 day. I'll have you banned from this site, and I'm not kidding. All of your posts will be lost. Retraction NOW!!!
