Lifting The Veil Of Polygamy • Joseph Smith • LDS • ©2009 lhvm (full documentary)

The documentary on Mormonism and Latter-Day Saints (LDS) is engaging and thought provoking for the die-hard monogamist, the carefree atheist and even the hopeless polygamist Muslim, but it grants relief when former members of the LDS testify against the dogma they left behind and the pain they caused their families.

The review below is by Mike Parks and is used without permission.

As with the other documentaries produced by Living Hope Ministries, this one examines the facts in a respectful manner. Throughout the entire documentary the teaching of polygamy is examined from the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price. The documentary shows the LDS first acceptance of polygamy, its leadership that practiced it and the LDS declaration to abandon it, in addition to the continued practice after the declaration was produced.

There was a contrast between the mainstream Mormons and the fundamentalist Mormons. The comparison showed fundamentalist Mormons demonstrate greater adherence to the original teachings of Joseph Smith. There are many first hand testimonies from former Mormons who embraced this lifestyle. There is a section showing how each member escapes from the LDS. It is not widely announced, but the pressure to remain in the LDS church is significantly strong and can create considerable family disruption.

At the end of the documentary, each person shared how he or she came to know the real Christian Jesus. They came to realize Jesus was not the soul brother of Lucifer, they would not be gods, they would not rule their own personal planet (standing beside their husband with his other wives) and God is not like man. They came to realize the Bible teaches Jesus Christ is God and there are no other gods and they were sinners and salvation is by God's grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross alone.

The documentary is difficult to watch, you could see the pain in many of the former LDS members in this video. It is great to hear the testimonies of former LDS members that found the true Jesus who was wounded deeply for them. Their testimonies are being utilized to comfort others who have suffered greatly (2 Cor. 1:3-8). I would recommend this to both of my Christian and Mormon friends.

@nikitty020 are you trolling?

Learn the truth read the book Joseph Smith Fought Polygamy by Richard and Pamela Price. It reveals the truth that the LDS Church has tried to bury for decades. Volume 2 has not been printed yet but it has even more info.

@honey73022002 Don't be offended by the documentary. It's the belief of the Mormon religion. Be offended at their beliefs not at a documentary that is bringing such beliefs to light. :) Great documentary btw.
