The Church membership in the US is more than 5 million and increasing...despite what she says...13 million worldwide. She hasn't been involved with the Mormons for years! There are 3 Temples in Africa now, and 3 new Temples are planned in AZ and other states. Temples are only built when Church membership is great enough to support it, warrant having one in that area. Check here for the more than 130 Temples worldwide, built, being built or in the planning stages:

I think you've missed your calling. If I were you I would put in for a position with the Mormon P.R. department. Facts and thinking are not required, just a consistent message to tell the masses.

Pity that folks can do the research nowadays and peek behind the Mormon curtain to see just what it is that is being hidden away. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Google, who giveth liberally and ubraideth not. Please research.

This lady has been excommunicated/she left the Church and once you do that, you name is struck off from the record of the Church. I wonder why she lies abt that (at the end of the vid.) Funny, but some ex-mos hate for others to know that they have been execommunicated and they hide the fact.

Now why are you resorting to dishonesty? Does honesty not matter to the Mormon? Is your church so important that you will sacrifice your own integrity? Apparently when you promised to give everything to the Mormon Church in the temple you offered up your personal integrity on the Mormon altar of sacrifice as well?

Sue resigned from the Mormon Church, she was not excommunicated. Slander is an ugly thing, but your dishonesty just makes you look petty.

Please research.

And we had a Theocracy at the birth of our Nation, but today the government & wicked Judges have gotten farther and farther away from God...

allowing his name to be taken out of the public domain, abortion and gay marriage, etc. Jesus Christ is King of this Nation but this earth is not worthy to receive his Kingdom from heaven yet. The earth has to be burned as an oven, to eliminate all unrighteousness/wickedness, and become purified. Then he will return, and a lot sooner than we imagine.

I don't think you are well.

Yunginspirit, you are a fool. Sue Emmett was not, nor will she be, excommunicated. Gets a little complicated when you lie dude. I happen to know, she is my MOTHER. You are the most ridiculous type of mormon. Spouting things you know nothing of to defend your church. You have never read an ounce of information that isn't directly spoon fed to you from your LDS leaders.

You've now made an utter fool of yourself here pretending to know who this woman is or anything about her personally.

@Exmormon: This is what we believe in. And the facts and figures re the 'fastest growing Church' I read online from an annual survey re Churches in the US...not a Jewish org BTW. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is among the top 5 Churches of America...and has been for the past 10 yrs or so. But that's not the point, the main thing is that it is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ on earth in these last days. We invite all to come and partake of its blessings...you included. : )

You now what? Besides being the "club" of Mormonism, I think you would find a great like-minded group over in the world of the Tea-Baggers and Birthers!! You would fit right in with those emotionally wrought-up, dishonest, hate-mongering people. And I bet you listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck every day.

As a matter of fact, I know first-hand that this woman has NOT been excommunicated.  I also know that she had the integrity to make the decision BEFORE her children spoke to her that she would never try to influence the grandchildren. You are very judgemental and don't know what you are talking about -- in several areas.

@Exmormon: You can check the membership records and find out if she has been exed...she has. An especially if one is breatheing out rantings, rantings and lies abt the Mormon Church, they CANNOT be a member in good standing any longer. Why on earth would a Church keep a disgruntled person who "doesn't even care if God exists or not' (her words-not verbatim) in the records? NOT! She had been 'out' now 7 yrs, and said in her own words that after abt 5 yrs your name is permanently off the records.

@Exmormon: You can Google for any bit of info, which is fabulous. No need to listen to non-members or enemies of the any Church. Or just go to the source and find out the truth. Please check the links on my website. Thank you.
