[keithahfua]

[10joi]

i love it! thanks...

[wafflechel]

i hope.. i can serve a mission in japan and everywhere! but i will obtain the word first..hehe

[eleanorsan]

wow, flattopSF, i think you need to learn more about a little something called Free Agency, and since you practice your own free will and free agency, you need to respect the rights of others to do so and not be so hostile, all you're achieving by being such an angry person is that you're going to give yourself an aneurism. best wishes,

-a new member of the LDS church (aka "a Mormon girl").

[adriannrod]

Lol, I can hear the solitary woman in the singing and she's drowned out by all the manly voices. Maybe if I serve a Mission in Japan I'll be like that woman. Hm. Hopefully everything is okay in Japan by then.

[OBLIVIOUSavior]

i want to go on a mission so bad.

[Tyrai]

I report March 9th 2011, Kobe Japan. Lets do eeeeet!

[trumpetman1989]

I report to the MTC on 9/22/2910 and I was called to serve in the Japan Sapporo Mission :) This is AWESOME!! :D

[mrpepperoriginal]

@trumpetman1989

What is MTC?

:P

[keithahfua]

@mrpepperoriginal MTC is where you prepare any language that your been called to serve at!... I'm samoan and my brother got his called to serve in the phillipine... we was there for couple of month and now he speak tagalog full....

[hyphywifeychica]

woaaah big crowd! i hope u all enjoyed your missions!

[whats898]

DO YOU KNOW TRISTAN LUBINA???, HE IS IN MEXICO

[lkidler]

Oh wow! The money for Prop 8 wasn't all from Latter-day Saints! The Catholics were behind it in the first place, inviting like minded people of other faiths, Christian and otherwise, to join forces. Besides, if it's a violation of human rights to ban gay marriages, how is it NOT so, with plural marriages? Pick a side!

[RockOnPilgrim]

GREAT!! These young people are filled with the Spirit of doing good. Their goodness radiates and people are inspired by them. How could any person say something negative about such obvious goodness. To them I simply say, " Honi soit qui mali pense!!"

[chunkymonkey921]

oh this makes me so happy! that's my district/zone! and I was the one that started that ritual of singing every saturday night!!! Oh MAN I miss the MTC!

[Turandot29]

Well boys, good luck trying to sell a uniquely American religion, now nestled in the inter-mountain west, to an ancient culture with dignity (i.e., the Japanese).

Oh, and good luck trying to tell the Japanese that drinking tea is EVIL.

[flattopSF]

What a stupid waste of time. Quit trying to sell your junky cult to a nation of people who don't need it.

You wanna see Japan? Get on a plane and tour Japan. Going there as a cult-salesman, you won't see anything but your cult's failure to convert Japanese people.

[wynd343]

@flattopSF if you really think this religion is a bunch of crap then you should stop watching lds videos on youtube. no one appreciates it when their religion is trashed. you may not believe it and that's OK, but we respect your views whether you are christian, Muslim, atheist or any other religion. all we ask is that you respect ours and keep your comments to yourself

[flattopSF]

flattopSF@wynd343 Actually, you Mor[m]ons not only DO NOT respect MY views as far as religion/philosophy/spirituali­ty, you go out of your way to send out 50,000 20-year-olds to tell me how wrong/stupid/eternally damned I am. And you go out of your way to influence politics. How arrogant of YOU. Why don't you keep your missionaries to yourselves? Why don't you keep your wacky beliefs to yourselves? Why don't you keep your missionaries to yourselves? Why don't you keep your POLITICS to yourselves?

[wynd343]

@flattopSF think of all the religions who send missionaries. we are not the only ones. no one said you have to listen to them. also if a missionary ever told you how stupid and eternally damned you are then they would not go without getting in trouble. they are not there to put others down but just give others the opportunity to understand and feel how they feel. if you dont want to listen then dont and they wont bother you. you're the party with hatred

[flattopSF]

@wynd343 Hatred? Oh please! Knock off the paranoid Mor[m]on act, why don't you! Mor[m]ons ARE hatred in the 21st century: $20 million dollars in California ALONE just to make sure someone else doesn't have civil rights! And that doesn't include HI, AK, ME, VT, CN, IL. You people don't know where to get off telling others how to run their lives! I ditched the Mor[m]on cult thirty years ago...AFTER serving a mission in JAPAN. Again, why don't you keep your religion and your politics to yourselves?

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF Go back to the hole where you came from and stop bothering TRUE CHRISTIANS

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 Spoken like a True Blue Mor[m]on: bigoted, supercilious, and hateful all the way down the line.

And where do you get off claiming that Mor[m]ons are "true christians" anyway? Everyone knows you're neither true to anything nor christian in your faith. Get over yourselves and go find something useful to do for the world, instead of pestering others about their convictions.

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF Um let's see. We're TRUE CHRISTIANS because we don't believe in the post-new testament theories develop by man such as the Trinity which is utterly false doctrine that states that God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost is ONE and the same being being a triune God, which does not make any sense since the Holy Scriptures assert that they're 3 separate beings being one in unity and purpose not one in body. We stick to what the Bible says and not man's interpretations.

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 "Um let's see"? As a Mor[m]on, you only read the English-language KJV. You'd find a different structure of christian deity[-ies] if you read 1) better translations of primary texts, or 2) better understood ancient religions. Your utterly ludicrous final sentence tells me you have done neither: the entire book is composed of nothing but "man's interpretations".

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF It's just one of many reasons. We also believe that we are literal sons and daughters of God, that we're not just merely a creation from him. Being sons and daughters of God, we have the potential to become like him.

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 Exactly: you believe you're superior to anyone else on earth. That's quite a densely-layered inferiority complex your cult has manufactured there. I suggest stepping away from the cult and seeking counseling with a qualified professional. Immediately if not sooner.

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF Honestly, I can care less what you think really. I know what's true and I'm sticking to it. I know I am where I'm supposed to be and I'm happy. I'm sorry that you are so blind to the truth

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 Yours is the prototypical Mormon response: full of arrogance and willful detachment from reality.

Someday you may come to understand that chasing after the ridiculous fantasies and lies of 19th century con-men Smith and Young is folly. You may realize that blindered ignorance, delusions of grandeur, and disdain of everything and everyone that isn't Mor[m]on-approved has put you in the fast lane to Stupidsville. Or maybe you never will. Either way, good luck - you'll need it.

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF Think what you want to think. Someday when you die, you will realize that you were wrong buddy. You're going to be full of guilt and remorse as you suffer in spirit prison eagerly waiting for someone to do your work on the earth. REMEMBER MY WORDS.

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 ROTFLMAO!!! Please! Your perverse silliness is killin' me! I may just die laughing at your lame Mor[m]y-centric comedy!

Wise up dorkasaurus: Sneaky Smith's Mor[m]on afterlife story might have tricked 19th century idiots into joining his cult and giving him money, but this is the 21st century now. Realistically, how many people do you think are going to continue falling for that cheap trick? Check your numbers: baptisms are way down. Even marginally stupid people aren't buying it.

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF Laugh all you want, seriously. You won't be laughing in the after life if you continue to pursue the True Church. Umm, Joseph Smith was not making any money from the people. If you know anything about the Church, we have an unpaid ministry. All the money that is collected through the law of tithing goes towards building up the Kingdom of God and humanitarian aid and help the poor and needy. Seriously you sound like a kid using terms such as "dorkasaurus."

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 You think I don't know anything about your cult?

ROTFLMAO!!! I wasted twenty-three years of valuable time in the Mor[m]on cult.

"...Smith was not making any money..." LMAO!!!

"Unpaid ministry"? WRONG!

"...tithing goes towards building..." ...building the "10 Billion Dollar Mall Kingdom"?

"... help the poor and needy..." Since when?

You, like most Mor[m]ons, know NOTHING about your own cult. I talk to you like you're a kid because you think like one. WISE UP!!!

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF 23 years? I've been in the church longer than you have, at least I have known of it that long. I'm sorry that you felled away and got deceived by Satan to think that the Church of Jesus Christ is not the true Church. So what are you now? Baptist? Methodist? If so do you even know your own doctrine? Seriously such doctrines such as saved only by faith and the doctrine of the trinity are false and I'm sure you believe them. You must be so blind

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 Well if you have been a Mor[m]on longer than 23 years, you're an even bigger fool than I originally surmised: you really ARE wasting YOUR life.

At least the time I wasted in the Mor[m]on cult was educational for me: I discovered the truth about the fantasies and lies of Smith and Young. That's more than you've done w.r.t. the ridiculous cult you so vociferously (& hilariously) defend here. You can save your puerile missionary discussion arguments - I've heard it all before.

[TayoEXE]

@flattopSF

You think serving others is wasting your life? You think drinking, gambling, or harming others ISN'T wasting you life? Do you not see the problems with the world? People have harden their hearts, and are filled with pride. There are people in the world who are starving, freezing, and dying because no one will care about them. If you think helping others is wasting time, I feel so sorry. I don't care if you don't change your mind, but just hear me out.

[flattopSF]

@TayoEXE Lay off the cheesy missionary discussions with me. I used to play that game too. If you wanted to help "starving, freezing, and dying" people you'd join the Peace Corps instead of trying to convert poor saps from whom your cult wants to extort 10% of everything for life in exchange for hollow promises.

[TayoEXE]

@flattopSF

Since when? I don't know if you are a charitable person or not, but we give tithes to help the church and other people. For example, we give to the church in order to help others, like Hurricane Katrina. “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God.” Mosiah 2:17

Many people today have hardened their hearts and are full of pride. Nonetheless, our Heavenly Father loves us and wants all to help each other. I hope you at least hear me out.

[flattopSF]

@TayoEXE Your tithing is helping build a $5 billion dollar mall in downtown SLC. Go ask your bishop about that. As for Mor[m]on charity, you really need to do the math: Mor[m]on "charity" given to non-Mor[m]ons averaged over the last 20 years amounts to $4 /year /member. That's a pretty piss-poor amount of charity, compared to the amount of money they're blowing on malls in SLC and ranches in AZ. Your cult is not composed of philanthropists. Don't brag about something unless you possess facts.

[TayoEXE]

@flattopSF

I don't want any hostility. Everyone has hardened their hearts. They won't believe something unless they see it with their eyes. They are blind to such things because they do not wish to see it... I won't say you are like this, but it is truth. I don't recall bragging about anything. You asked what charity, and I simply gave you an answer. You do not need to dimish others in order to make yourself seem right. I am not flat out saying I am right, but it's your choice.

[flattopSF]

@TayoEXE ROTFLMAO!!! Out of one side of your mouth you say you don't want any hostility, and out of the other you claim that I've "hardened [my] heart" and I'm "blind." How arrogant is that?! Don't Mormons know how to be respectful at all? I guess not: You all want to go on missions and tell people how evil & wrong they are in their own convictions: "I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; ...all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt..."

[TayoEXE]

@flattopSF

I specifically said, "they". I never said you were like that. "I won't say you are like this." I am not saying you are like this, but what many are like.

[ethan19942012]

@flattopSF Get over yourself. You're being a hypocrite to what you're saying. You have the freedom to choose what you believe. Now, give the same common respect to all of us. I, and "TayoEXE" believe that the Joesph Smith was a prophet, you don't, so why don't you get over yourself and move on with your life. You sound like you have a lot of bitterness when it comes to the church. How about instead of complaining about it here, you go see a psychologist. Maybe then will you be at peace.

[flattopSF]

@ethan19942012 You know what, you are just like all Mor[m]ons: you stick your noses in other peoples' lives and business, tell us we're wrong, we're going to hell, we're evil, we're unacceptable, and then you go all persecution complex when people tell you to knock it off. You aren't paying attention to what other people are telling you: don't be all "every member a missionary," don't go getting all up in other peoples' state politics and personal lives, and learn to REALLY respect others.

[ethan19942012]

@flattopSF I'm curious, when did I tell you were going to hell? I don't think I did, so don't say I did. Stop being a jerk and move on with your life. You don't have to spout off your hate because you can. Also, your "Mor[m]on" thing isn't clever, so stop that too.

[ethan19942012]

@flattopSF Jerk doesn't mean I hate you, I just don't like your attitude. Okay, tell me what kind of hate have you experienced from the church, I would really like to know because I want to understand where you're coming from.

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF Why do you persist fighting the Church? Seriously, I don't really understand why you think the Church of Jesus Christ is a fabrication and that Joseph and Brigham lied. Trust me, I have studied all the anti-Mormon literature, everything from blood atonement to mountain meadows and Quakers on the moon and there's nothing that bothers me about it because I know the followers of Satan, such as yourself, try to twist the truth and make it appear that it's all a big lie

[crxracer805]

@flattopSF "And thus we can plainly discern, that after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God, and have had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness, and then have fallen away into sin and transgression, THEY BECOME MORE HARDENED, AND THUS THEIR STATE BECOMES WORSE than though they had never known these things." Alma 24:30 I know you can surely apply that to yourself. Please don't deny that it's true. You deny it, you call your Savior Jesus Christ a liar

[flattopSF]

@crxracer805 Simply put, you and your cult are ridiculous beyond words.

[ethan19942012]

@flattopSF I find it pretty funny, you're commenting on something you probably "Hate" but you're on Youtube looking this stuff up. It's kind of weird if you ask me.

[flattopSF]

@ethan19942012 "...looking this stuff up..."??? I don't go looking for this garbage: I receive links from Mor[m]ons who just can't let go. Why can't Mor[m]ons keep their cult to themselves and quit pushing it to others?

It's kind of weird if you ask me. No, I take that back: it's VERY weird.

[ethan19942012]

@flattopSF Okay, I have a solution, ignore it. Don't go to the links and tell them to stop sending it to you. If you have problems against the church, I completely understand. I'm a convert, and everyone else thinks I'm crazy and you're probably one of those people. It's my business what my religious beliefs are, and they happen to be LDS. I don't want people telling me I'm right or wrong, because I would never do that to someone, I just want people to give me the same respect.

[flattopSF]

@ethan19942012 LOL! Fine, but you'll have to convince your church to quit sending out missionary-pests, then. Good luck with that!

[ethan19942012]

@flattopSF I plan to be a missionary. If they don't want to hear the message, than I would be more than happy to leave them alone. But I have my reasons for joining the church mainly because I of the influence it has had on my life, to be a better person.

[flattopSF]

@ethan19942012 So, you're a liar: you just said "I don't want people telling me I'm right or wrong, because I would never do that to someone" BUT YOU WANT TO BE A MISSIONARY AND TELL THEM THEY'RE WRONG! Just like that liar Smith:

"I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; ...all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt..." How arrogant of Smith and you. If you really respected others you wouldn't even consider doing it.

[Aaronic1992]

kakkoii if I ever save up enough money to go on a mission I pray daily that I might get sent to japan.

Also great Gusto Gentlemen however more alto's might be required to create a Satan shattering weapon of pure love and joy of serving the lord.

Great job!

[rickengothic]

Never ever do a mission in North Korea cuz they will fucking kill u -_-! Japan FTW!!

[tnfellow]

at his death joseph smith carried a jupiter talisman or witchcraft token was found in his posession as recorded in mormon history books, joseph smith used it to obtain finances and control people, to manipulate anyone he thought he should to seduce women for sex,,,research it... U decide if that qualifies as scorcery,, isnt eternity worth a few minutes ,, what kind of person joseph smith really was,, full of deception and lies,,,,

[saggley]

[GohModley]

I'm so happy my parents and every bishop I ever had intimidated me into going on a mission so I could share their testimony with the good people of Argentina who mugged me 7 times, but only once at gunpoint.

[carahpants]

Yes yes, I did two months in the empty sea myself some 27 years ago. And yes, we did the same 'show offy' crap, only in Italian.

[vampov]
