Wow. You commenters can be horrible to our faith. Being mormon (LDS) is nothing bad at all. It's WONDERFUL. I am one and I love having the closeness with friends who love doing the same thing as me: HELPING OTHERS.
as a mormon teenager, I must say not all mormon teens are this dull. Some of them can actually be fun to be around. However, there are a few Buzz-Killingtons that make mormons seem like a bunch of tight wads.
we are not sexist. mormons are all about loving people and respecting other religions. true, we r not perfect and we know that. but we are trying to love others and love god
I don't like the number of dislikes on this video. Mormon is the fastest growing religion in the world, and it makes me sad as a hardborn lds young women to see this. Respect guys, respect. We don't hate on your beliefs, don't touch ours.
I can't believe that people are saying rude things about this girl and her religion. I'd like to share a quote... "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another." -Jonathon Swift
I used to be catholic and we had ccd every week much the same. And masses much the same. Its important to develop friendships and morals, the rest is unimportant. Religions are just used as labels, look past all that and just decide what kind of person you want to be.
I don't understand why comments need to be approved, surley if you're interested in spreading the message of your religion then you need to really communicate with those who feel differently than you do. Also, you're not going to get very far if you're not willing to really engage in a debate. I understand that you get some haters who are out of line, but there are atheists and others who are more than willing to a civilised conversation. Just ignore the idiots.
I am not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I am an active Christian. One of my closest friends and most important people in my life is a member of the Church, and I have been blessed by her presence with the wonderful opportunity of being educated on the beliefs, lives, and principles of the Church and its members. I am now able to stand up and defend my friend and the people with whom she shares her beliefs, which I do so proudly. God Bless.
Devoted Mormon teens are SUCH a difference between other regular teens!!
I'm a teen myself, Mormon, and I grew up with two older brothers, so i'm much more mature than my friends/classmates.I started going to church recently
(as i wasn't going very often before) and the kids my age are just as mature as i am!We aren't nerds that wear glasses, don't know about hair and wear ugly clothes. We look just like any other teens, but dressed appropriately.
My girlfriend is a Mormon and she is 18, I'm a 19 year old atheist. So naturally, there's conflict involving beliefs, but we put that aside.
But here's my question to the video maker, why does this girl need the church to do all these things, could she not accomplish all these things without the help on any church? Why is there a different gospel for women? And last but not least, would it not be better to have her do all these things and believe in reason rather than faith? Please do answer.
All the good things mentioned in this video. Outside of the church stuff. I did. Did it all in a wholesome safe secular organizations. A lot, I did with my Family. Religion is not necessary to be a valuable and moral person to society. Myself and my family are great examples of that. No drugs. No Alcohol. Immune to indoctrination, and commercialization. All via education, Both scholastic and emotional/psychological.
In all honestly, I have meet a few young Mormons in high school and college and I even tell them this, they are some of the nicest people I have ever meet. Like, super weirdly nice and respectful and if they show me that kind of attitude, I have to do the same.
Hmmm.......she doesn't seem like a Satan-loving, polygamist, radical, gay-bashing bigot who hates Jews. She seems like the kind of kid I would want my son to date.
Good on you sweety ! You are going to make an excepeptional Wife & Mother one day. It takes a strong, faithful young lady to follow this path in a world like this.
I'm proud that there still such lovely young girls in this world.
If being Mormon is good, then why don't they want anybody to come were they live,are talk to anybody,when they get there.Are at least they don't talk to people on t.v.They are alway telling people to leave.Why is that

huh....you mormons seem amazing! i've been looking for a religion and i think this is the right one for me...but idk. i mean, theres lots of rumors going around everywhere, especially here on youtube, about mormons. i don't know if they're true...
@eatpie9ify Don't believe most rumors you hear about the Morman church. Im a currently inactive member but I still support the LDS church. If you want to be a part of an organized religion, Mormanism is where its at, but don't look to other people to find that out. Go to one a few times, you'll see that all the nasty rumors you hear are absolutley false

I love ebing mormon. I'm still a teenager, and in middle school i will admit I did somethings I shouldn't have after getting into the wrong group of people. When I entered high school, I started attending seminary, though I never stopped going to mutual. Now, I can see the difference in my life,a dn i am fully grateful for the role the church has played in my life.
How cute!! I was baptized at 20 and was never in Young Women, but was recently called as my Ward's Laurel Advisor. It is amazing to me, seeing such young girls speak and lead and teach - seeing their love for one another and the Church, and seeing their Testimony become stronger. I hope to help them through everything you talked about! ^^
I mean this in all seriousness, not as a slight against mormonism. Do you not allow minorities into your church? Or is Utah really that un-segregated?
Evans described Bailey as honorable, ethical and professional. In the early days, the departments of information and journalism overlapped. The late Fred Zwahlen and Bailey shared a commitment to journalistic principles.
He was very attentive to the ethics of journalism. These guys (Bailey and Zwahlen) are not going to shape the story to make the university look good.
wow thats really amazinq how you put that It made me feel as if i knew you. Im mormon as well and do the same thinqs as you. Younq Womens is truley aazinq and alot of fun :)
How old does one have to be to become a member of our church? When children reach the age of 8 they can be baptized but baptism is not a requirement to begin attending church.
Yes. Considering this is a video made by a teenager I feel it's necessary to monitor comments to weed out the tactless ones. All my other videos are open comment.
Within months, Zinas Mother died from the malaria epidemic which claimed the lives of many of the early Nauvoo settlers. About this same time, Zina met and was courted by Henry B. Jacobs, a handsome and talented musician. Sometime during Henrys courtship of Zina, Joseph Smith explained to Zina the principle of plural marriage and asked her to become one of his wives.
Heh, you go about with your good deeds. Just caught my mind that it sounds as if she's reading from a script prepared beforehand.. Yes.. we tell you what to say and what to believe.. ^^
He also said, "Now is the time to increase our focus on building stakes. A stake is the gathering place for the Saints of Zion, and Church leadership is focused upon the local members when a stake is created. In order for us to work toward having a temple in India one day, we must first have stakes."
I'm not trying to be disrespectful to your beliefs or nothing BUT it seems this religion is a bit sexist. Learning cooking and sewing? Preparing for families? Come on. Not every woman wants to be a housewife.
Either they learn it or they marry a husband who can afford a house keeper... either way, its a choice that one makes. None are forced to learn "Home Economics" in school and if a young woman has no intentions of learning those skills based on her goals in life, then it is up to her to prepare the means in which she doesn't have to do those things either professionally for herself or by finding the means to accomplish her goals.
Just like in school... learning these things is an elective.
@irishrocker True but women have a choice to be housewives or not, the LDS would prefer that the guy in the relationship be a MAN unlike now a days were it is seen less and less
Todas las cosas indican que hay un Dios, sí, aun la tierra y todo cuanto hay sobre ella, sí, y su movimiento, sí, y también todos los planetas que se mueven en su orden regular testifican que hay un Creador Supremo. (El Libro de Mormón, Alma 30:44)
wow this is so cool ! i totally felt the spirit yur the best ! i love the slide show it really helped as well man your really strong in the gospel and im so proud of you!! :)
I'm not Mormon, but I have tremendous respect for your faith. I've never met a Mormon who was rude or mean to me. May God bless your faith and bring you to His heavenly home
The third truth that Joseph Smith learned was that God still speaks to man today—that the heavens are not closed. One need but ask three questions, once proposed by President Hugh B. Brown, to arrive at that conclusion (see The Profile of a Prophet, Liahona, June 2006, 13; Ensign, June 2006, 37)
But the scriptures tell us this was not possible. Paul taught, Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him (Romans 6:9). In other words, once Christ was resurrected, His body could never again be separated from His spirit; otherwise He would suffer death, the very consequence Paul said was no longer possible after His Resurrection.
That was very well done! I totally agree with you, I know I wouldn't be the same person I am today without the love and support of my YW leaders and the Young Women themselves. Yes, Mormons can join the Military, and there are quite a few members I know who are in the Navy and other Armed Forces.
Yes, many serve in various positions all across the military - generals, soldiers, etc. In fact I was born in Germany while my father was serving in the military
This is beautiful! Thank you for being such a valiant soul in the testimony of Jesus. I'm sure Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are very pleased with your courage and determination to tell the world His truths.
wait.. isnt jesus christ the heavenly father ??sry im not religious at all i dont believe in any of that make believe man made stuff.But i always thought you called jesus christ heavenly father...... confusing
No, we call Jesus Christ who he said he was... the son of the living God and he pointed us towards the father in all of his doings. There is no confusion. We believe in God the Father and in his son, Jesus Christ and we teach what the Bible says about both of them.
I wouldn't be the same without Young Women's. It's changed my life completely, and I'll never forget the friendships and attributes I've developed through it.
Nelson says she wasn't nervous about the dress, but the one-piece swimsuit was another matter. She was fully aware of the inherent disadvantage.
"A lot of people don't understand why we are modest," Nelson said. "It is not that we feel ashamed of our bodies. It's that we respect them and we acknowledge that they are a gift from our Heavenly Father."
When the actual competition began, pink was not required, but Nelson couldn't locate a dress that met her specifications. She drove all the way to Provo, Utah, to find one.
I am so glad you are sharing this video of some of your experiences in the church...as all I see is negativity...this is a breath of fresh air...thanks!
jesus isnt god. He'z God's son. Who came to earth to set example and yes, were christians. We believe in Christ dont we? thats Christianity. I love bein Mormon!
"Believing in Christ" isn't enough, there is more to it than that. Christians believe in the story of the Ressurection, but Mormons believe in a vastly different story. And if you do not believe that Jesus died, rose, and then went to Heaven are you a Christian? I mean Muslims and Jews "believe in Jesus", they just don't believe he was "The Messiah". Also, if you believe Smith is more important that Jesus, doesn't that make you a "Smithian" more than a "Christian"?
Mormons do believe in Resurrection (of Jesus). What you mean by "vastly different story". I don't know where did you get your info about J. Smith being more important than Jesus. We do believe that he did a lot for us, but only Jesus can Atone for our sins no1 else can do this (including J.Smith). Does this still makes us "Smithian" or "Christian"?
I dont understand why mormons never mention Joseph Smith in anything that they do. Its as if the church fell from the sky and its history all lost. either that or they are too ashamed to accept joseph smith as a real prophet.
We mention Joseph Smith a lot, because our history is not lost to us. We actually take a lot of flack for metioning him to much. But when it comes down to it Joseph was important. But it's Jesus who is central to the Gospel. It is the Atonement of Christ that is the keystone of our existance. And it is God whom we worship and adore.
Even without much talk of the Church, visitors are touched by the spirit of Elijah — that of turning hearts of father and children to each other — as they learn about generations of family that came before them.
im the secretary of my ward and i am young too! at 22 years i understand the girls and i help them in everything they need, i think that's the advantage that i have to be young to help more. don't you think?
I really love the vid!! Thank you SO much for putting this up. A lot of people assume things about us, but you cleared up a lot of things. :) Thank you!! :D
I remember Participating in the Temple Celibration! It started practice, about a month before I turned 12, but they still let me go, and by the time we preformed it, I was 12. Being LDS rocks!
"It gave an added element of feeling that by just narrating you wouldn't get," said Canals, adding "my approach to the scriptures will never be the same — they came to life."
Second, without Matthew's work, it would be hard to see how the JST could have been included in the LDS edition of the Bible. Third, Matthews' efforts played a role, along with the work of other scholars, in the warming of relations between the LDS Church and the RLDS Church.
Brown, whose parents own Nor Cal Color Supply on Eastside Road, was born in Woodland and moved here with his family about eight years ago.
During high school, Brown, who plays the trumpet and French horn, was a member of the Enterprise High School's jazz and chamber choirs, and remains undecided about what career to pursue, noting that he's torn between music, engineering and law.
They're preparing these girls to cook and sew? Does this mean Mormon women aspire to be housewives? I'm not trying to be condescending, I just know very little about the Mormon faith, aside from all the negative attention I hear.
In the mormon religion we are all viewed as equals in a family as brothers and sisters as children of God with Jesus Christ as our elder brother being the only begotten of our heavenly father. Us young men are taught that women are Gods greatest creation and that they should be treated with the utmost respect. You don't have to be a part of our religion to be considered family. All of our brothers and sisters around the globe make up our family and we love every one of them. We are all equals.
Appears the intent of the video is to help teen girls who are unfamiliar with the LDS faith better understand what it is like to be a Mormon teen. Although there are differences between Catholic Mass and a LDS Sacrament meeting, there are many similarities - a Sermon is given, prayers offered, songs are sung, and most importantly, the Sacrament or Holy Communion is received. By relating to common actions, people of various Christian faiths better understand and appreciate one another better.
By saying that, she made it appear that she had to compare her service to a better-known Religion, as if she had to justify it.
"the Sacrament or Holy Communion is received."
It should be understood that the Eucharist is only valid if consecrated by a priest. The Mormon wafer is but a piece of bread. Trying to understand other Religions is okay, but never is it okay if it means trying to dumb down one to make it comparable. No offense.
You're reaching. I see no justification or reason to be offended. It helps those who have attended other services know what to expect. Even non-LDS have made such a comparison, not just online, but to me personally. The Sacrament given at an LDS Church service is blessed and sanctified by a Priest. As Paul recounted in Corinthians 11:23-26, Jesus broke bread with his Apostles in remembrance of him. What is more important? The amount of leaven or gluten in the bread or what the act represents?
I am not a Mormon & I do not practice any religion simply because I don't believe I should have to be in a man made doctrine to believe in God. Even so I commend the Mormon way of life. It is a caring, sharing & loving community of people who do not force themselves on others. I have worked with Mormons, shared meals in their home & not once have they pushed their religion onto me. The nurturing environment may not be my thing but for many it is & it does create many successful & loving people.
My question to any Mormon, pertaining to this video, is this: Why do you need the Young Women Program to be a better person? Are you saying that you wouldn't be a good person by not attending, or that you could never be as good of a person? "Being a part of my Momon Young Women's Helps me through it all" (from the video); does this imply that Mormons depend on a simple program to be better people?
My real question: How dependent are Mormons on this program? Not an attack, just a simple question
I grew up Mormon and I would argue that it is definitely an integral part of their faith and religious practice but they do not view it as a necessity to be a good person or a good Mormon... It's just a part of their religious practice much like jewish, christian, and other religious youth groups. If you attended a meeting you would find that it is not much different than any other religion's youth activities just with a different belief system being reaffirmed.
Notice the phrase used - "helps me" which doesn't imply sole dependence, rather one more leg to keep up the stool if you will. From a teen perspective, there is a Seminary program for youth from 9-12th grade study Old & New Testament, Book of Mormon. Parents are even more important in providing direction and counsel (whether your of the Mormon faith or not). Going to Church on Sunday and studying the scriptures and gospel as well as in the home is very vital. Paul said it best in Philippians 4:7
Philippians 4:7 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
It's not that we're necessarily depedant on the program, but it helps any young woman from the age 12-18 to relate to eachother. You get so close with eachother and some of very best friends are from the program too and share the same morals as me and that means a lot.
You learn so many things that otherwise, you may not learn in such an accepting environment. Everyone is supportive of eachother, and really, they're as close as girl can be.
that is right, whtlst I am part of the young mens program; it teaches a similar aspect and both programs teach the young peple on how to be loving, caring, friendly individuals and to one day become good parents.
Your video made me cry, its not a bad thing! I love your video! I am also thankful for the gospel in my life! I don't where I would be right now. May you be blessed
thank you for your beautiful testimony...you are an example to the rest of us. In luke 22:32 Christ says to Peter, "I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail thee not, and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." You have certainly strengthened us and we appreciate your efforts. 1 timothy 4:12 , " be thou an example of the believers" You certainly exemplify that fine scripture.

I love ebing mormon. I'm still a teenager, and in middle school i will admit I did somethings I shouldn't have after getting into the wrong group of people. When I entered high school, I started attending seminary, though I never stopped going to mutual. Now, I can see the difference in my life,a dn i am fully grateful for the role the church has played in my life.

How cute!! I was baptized at 20 and was never in Young Women, but was recently called as my Ward's Laurel Advisor. It is amazing to me, seeing such young girls speak and lead and teach - seeing their love for one another and the Church, and seeing their Testimony become stronger. I hope to help them through everything you talked about! ^^

Evans described Bailey as honorable, ethical and professional. In the early days, the departments of information and journalism overlapped. The late Fred Zwahlen and Bailey shared a commitment to journalistic principles.
He was very attentive to the ethics of journalism. These guys (Bailey and Zwahlen) are not going to shape the story to make the university look good.

I could imagine that Sam wrote that, Evans said. It had that level of detail.
Bailey came out of a top-notch ag journalism program at University of Wisconsin, said Evans, an OSU professor of communications.
Evans and Bailey were colleagues in the departments of journalism and information.We continued to work within 20 feet of each other for years.

Within months, Zinas Mother died from the malaria epidemic which claimed the lives of many of the early Nauvoo settlers. About this same time, Zina met and was courted by Henry B. Jacobs, a handsome and talented musician. Sometime during Henrys courtship of Zina, Joseph Smith explained to Zina the principle of plural marriage and asked her to become one of his wives.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to your beliefs or nothing BUT it seems this religion is a bit sexist. Learning cooking and sewing? Preparing for families? Come on. Not every woman wants to be a housewife.
irishrocker 2 years ago 585
Either they learn it or they marry a husband who can afford a house keeper... either way, its a choice that one makes. None are forced to learn "Home Economics" in school and if a young woman has no intentions of learning those skills based on her goals in life, then it is up to her to prepare the means in which she doesn't have to do those things either professionally for herself or by finding the means to accomplish her goals.
Just like in school... learning these things is an elective.

The third truth that Joseph Smith learned was that God still speaks to man today—that the heavens are not closed. One need but ask three questions, once proposed by President Hugh B. Brown, to arrive at that conclusion (see The Profile of a Prophet, Liahona, June 2006, 13; Ensign, June 2006, 37)

But the scriptures tell us this was not possible. Paul taught, Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him (Romans 6:9). In other words, once Christ was resurrected, His body could never again be separated from His spirit; otherwise He would suffer death, the very consequence Paul said was no longer possible after His Resurrection.

"Believing in Christ" isn't enough, there is more to it than that. Christians believe in the story of the Ressurection, but Mormons believe in a vastly different story. And if you do not believe that Jesus died, rose, and then went to Heaven are you a Christian? I mean Muslims and Jews "believe in Jesus", they just don't believe he was "The Messiah". Also, if you believe Smith is more important that Jesus, doesn't that make you a "Smithian" more than a "Christian"?

Mormons do believe in Resurrection (of Jesus). What you mean by "vastly different story". I don't know where did you get your info about J. Smith being more important than Jesus. We do believe that he did a lot for us, but only Jesus can Atone for our sins no1 else can do this (including J.Smith). Does this still makes us "Smithian" or "Christian"?

We mention Joseph Smith a lot, because our history is not lost to us. We actually take a lot of flack for metioning him to much. But when it comes down to it Joseph was important. But it's Jesus who is central to the Gospel. It is the Atonement of Christ that is the keystone of our existance. And it is God whom we worship and adore.

In the mormon religion we are all viewed as equals in a family as brothers and sisters as children of God with Jesus Christ as our elder brother being the only begotten of our heavenly father. Us young men are taught that women are Gods greatest creation and that they should be treated with the utmost respect. You don't have to be a part of our religion to be considered family. All of our brothers and sisters around the globe make up our family and we love every one of them. We are all equals.

"which is comparable to Catholic mass"
Why would she say that?
MyLegendarySelf 2 years ago
Appears the intent of the video is to help teen girls who are unfamiliar with the LDS faith better understand what it is like to be a Mormon teen. Although there are differences between Catholic Mass and a LDS Sacrament meeting, there are many similarities - a Sermon is given, prayers offered, songs are sung, and most importantly, the Sacrament or Holy Communion is received. By relating to common actions, people of various Christian faiths better understand and appreciate one another better.
oakstarheel 2 years ago
By saying that, she made it appear that she had to compare her service to a better-known Religion, as if she had to justify it.
"the Sacrament or Holy Communion is received."
It should be understood that the Eucharist is only valid if consecrated by a priest. The Mormon wafer is but a piece of bread. Trying to understand other Religions is okay, but never is it okay if it means trying to dumb down one to make it comparable. No offense.
MyLegendarySelf 2 years ago
You're reaching. I see no justification or reason to be offended. It helps those who have attended other services know what to expect. Even non-LDS have made such a comparison, not just online, but to me personally. The Sacrament given at an LDS Church service is blessed and sanctified by a Priest. As Paul recounted in Corinthians 11:23-26, Jesus broke bread with his Apostles in remembrance of him. What is more important? The amount of leaven or gluten in the bread or what the act represents?

My question to any Mormon, pertaining to this video, is this: Why do you need the Young Women Program to be a better person? Are you saying that you wouldn't be a good person by not attending, or that you could never be as good of a person? "Being a part of my Momon Young Women's Helps me through it all" (from the video); does this imply that Mormons depend on a simple program to be better people?
My real question: How dependent are Mormons on this program? Not an attack, just a simple question
Mewstor151 2 years ago
I grew up Mormon and I would argue that it is definitely an integral part of their faith and religious practice but they do not view it as a necessity to be a good person or a good Mormon... It's just a part of their religious practice much like jewish, christian, and other religious youth groups. If you attended a meeting you would find that it is not much different than any other religion's youth activities just with a different belief system being reaffirmed.
FotoSpencer 2 years ago
Notice the phrase used - "helps me" which doesn't imply sole dependence, rather one more leg to keep up the stool if you will. From a teen perspective, there is a Seminary program for youth from 9-12th grade study Old & New Testament, Book of Mormon. Parents are even more important in providing direction and counsel (whether your of the Mormon faith or not). Going to Church on Sunday and studying the scriptures and gospel as well as in the home is very vital. Paul said it best in Philippians 4:7

I'm mormon, and I attend this program every week.
It's not that we're necessarily depedant on the program, but it helps any young woman from the age 12-18 to relate to eachother. You get so close with eachother and some of very best friends are from the program too and share the same morals as me and that means a lot.
You learn so many things that otherwise, you may not learn in such an accepting environment. Everyone is supportive of eachother, and really, they're as close as girl can be.
