Responding to FAIR's "Rebuttal"
FAIR made a weak attempt to "rebut" my video about the lies of LDS apostles. I thought it would be fun to highlight how bad they are at what they do, and how much they lie to do it.
Here's the response to the tweet arguing that Joseph Fielding Smith didn't hide the 1832 first vision account. www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comments/ssm17y/did_joseph_fielding_smith_hide_the_1832_first/

I get accused so frequently of running this channel for money, fame, attention, "destroying the church," or other ulterior motives that I decided to make this response video so I don't have to type out the same response over and over. Sorry that it's nothing exciting. I just wanted to have it on hand.

Ask an Apostle: Is being gay a choice?
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.2 года назад
For as long as the church has taken its stand on homosexuality, (largely after the lavender scare in 1950) the question of nature or nurture has remained. Did God make his children gay, or did they sinfully choose it? Were they born with it or did they "catch" it from someone else? There is still confusion on this topic in the church due to overconfident yet contradictory messaging. The current...
Dallin H. Oaks lies about gay conversion therapy at BYU

Racism in Mormonism - An Invitation to Repent

Russel M. Nelson recently called racist individuals to repentance while also condemning violent protests. While his condemnation of racism is appreciated, Russel and the church as a whole have a great deal of their own racism that requires some serious repentance. I hereby invite Russel M.

A follow up to "50 Problems With The Mormon Church." The first video focused primarily on truth claims and the veracity of the Mormon church. This time, the focus is on Mormon morality.

Response to "A Face to Face Event with Elder Cook" and "Saints" 9/9/2018
Просмотров 33 тыс.5 лет назад
The LDS church has recently made efforts to introduce a new narrative of their history that better reflects the full picture. While "Saints" is a step forward in that regard, it unfortunately fails to correct the simplistic rose-colored view of the past that has been portrayed for decades. I will explain why as I respond to the church's recent broadcast to young adults.
Man Removed from LDS Chapel for Encouraging Parents to Protect Their Children
Просмотров 14 тыс.5 лет назад
Current policy allows LDS bishops to have one-on-one interviews with minors in which they discuss the child's sexual activities in detail. This can be very traumatizing for children, who often don't know what they are being asked, and who feel deep shame and embarrassment if they do know. This policy also facilitates grooming and sexual abuse by predators who become bishops. We call upon LDS le...

An Introduction to the Gospel Topics Essays
The missionaries should follow the commandments and teach new members in aLL THING PERTAINING to the Kingdom first
lol I'm a Chinese Exmormon. I did some statistics for church growth in Asia... all of them less than 1% (when factoring their presense vs the total population)
Tithing sh*t is bs.
The false lds church lies and tells you that you'll only get blessings if you continue to pay tithes. Even before you pay other bills!
Blah, blah, blah.
Cool rebuttal.
I'm an active member of the LDS Church for nearly 40 years now and I see no problem in my Church all these years! But you know what's strange are those people outside of my Church who think they know more about my Church! They talk evil against my Church and think that they just can get away with it! By the way, I have served in many high callings in my Church and has been a Catholic priest before I became a member of the LDS Church. 😊
Name one thing I said that is false.
Come back to Christ, all ye led astray by Mohammed and Joseph
Why?
@@TheMormonInformant because Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Light
@@loganbrown3565 Prove it.
This Chanel is highly miss understood. Easy to point out flaws. But did you even considered asking God if there’s anything substantial??? Ask and you shall receive..
Name one thing I said that is false.
I think that sometimes a person might like to hear about baptism on the first meeting ..
They can always ask. Or the missionaries can try to feel things out. But making it the expectation and then claiming that you never did that is dishonest.
So glad i left the church, never paid tithin once while i was in it, and thankfully had a bishop that respected my decision. But i do still have friends that are part of the church. One living in poverty with her husband and kids, the church constantly makes sure they pay their tithin. Meanwhile there are times that they have no food at home. The church is messed up thinking they are more important than a starving family with young children 🤦♀️
So in other words it’s perfect?
If that's what you got from this, you weren't paying attention.
When I saw the South Park episode about Mormons in 2004, I was stunned. I didn’t believe it. There was no way Joseph used a hat in a rock to translate the Book of Mormon. Then I found out it was true, and I felt like a complete fool for not knowing my own church’s history, while the guys at South Park did know it. It took a long time for me to understand that it wasn’t completely my fault; I didn’t know, because church leadership wanted it that way. Anyway, that wasn’t the first issue I put in a box and set to the side, it was one of many boxes. I met with my bishop last week and told him I do not believe in Joseph Smith as a prophet and I don’t believe in the temple endowment and I’m not going to pay tithing anymore. And I’m very glad to have found this channel. I absolutely love that it’s straight fact, spitting fire.
And this crap that the church is involved with just keeps on keeping on. I’m so disgusted and disillusioned. I’ve been duped for so long but no more.
I like how most of the claims in this video or just plainly false and knowing this strengthens my testimony in the church of Jesus Christ of ladder day saints and increases my love for the martyr and prophet Joseph smith
@@matthewteichert6631 Name one thing I said that is false.
In kindergarden when I asked a very black boy I shared my table with, why did you sit on the fence in heaven and ended up with black skin. He said " that's the stupidest thing I ever heard." I have agreed since then. Never Belived. Luckily left at 16. All my family still there.

Bro makes the least substantive critiques and spams them.

@@TheMormonInformant what?
Cook said that the church does not influence politicians job he didn’t say that they don’t practice religion
He said that, and it was a lie. Because they do, in fact, influence politicians. As proven by the following clip.
@@TheMormonInformant did you not read what I commented I said it doesn’t influence their job but their personal life
@@camvibes6351 It does influence their job though. The church was literally giving a senator's staff marching orders so regularly that they came to depend on those orders.

When he was talking about the stakes he said it might not be 15 every time but then you got mad bc it wasn’t 15
It was never 15. Look at the numbers. The church has never created 15 stakes in one week.
@@TheMormonInformant did you not read what I commented he said it’s not always 15
@@camvibes6351 He said it was 15 that week. It was actually zero. He said it was "double digits" every week. It was never double digits. He lied, and you are defending a liar
@@TheMormonInformant when did he say this?
@@TheMormonInformant oh no my life is ruined bc a random guy on RUclips called me a liar
He said we are not wealthy bc we spend it for service not for ourselves
No, he did not say that. There is nowhere in the clip I referenced where those words left his lips.
@@TheMormonInformant Bud I never said it word for word it’s paraphrasing wealthy in some ways can mean you spend it on yourself and the church does not
You put words in his mouth that he didn't say. What he said was a lie. What you said was not what he said at all, and how the money is spent is irrelevant to the claim of the church's wealth.
Yo you don’t need to hate on the church literally that’s why the pioneers went to Utah bc people were going to kill them not saying that you guys are going to kill us but just respect us like we do
Stating facts is not persecution. Your leaders lie to you. Sorry if it hurts your feelings for me to point that out.
Always Remember all people are not perfect, even lds leaders are not perfect
It broke my heart when the girl had her mike cut. It's so wrong
Your videos about problems in the church really opened my eyes. I left a few weeks after watching them, although they weren't the sole reason. They were influential.
I'm so glad to hear they made a difference! :)
Stop snitching
How did Paul H Dunn get away with his lies for 20 years and the other leaders said they didn't know.
Because their claimed "spiritual discernment" is fiction
the thumbnail gave me a chuckle. well done, sir.
The more and more I hear this the more i want to try to save my former kinda friends
Oh god, that #3. Once he opened his mouth all I could do is roll my eyes. That is one of the first thing us missionaries were taught (at least 20 years ago we were). It was right in our missionary handbook lessons! The very first lesson!
This Mormon Informant is full of bitter prejudice.
I'm full of damning facts you can't dispute, so you employ ad hominem attacks instead of addressing my claims.
If your religion tastes bitter that is not my problem
@@xXEGPXx My religion doesn’t taste bitter. But the Mormon Informant is very bitter.
@@user-qp8ln2yt8r It tastes bitter to all of the SA victims they tried to hide, tastes bitter to black people who were considered to be unworthy of the priesthood until the 70s, tastes bitter to the women who are still considered second class citizens, tastes bitter to all of the people who were not informed about the masonic temple rituals until the day of their marriage
@@user-qp8ln2yt8r I think you might be bitter about me telling the truth about your religion.
Is the Mormon Informant the arbiter of what “the right thing” is then in every case. They speak as if they know.
Name one thing I said that is false.
Where did God justify slavery and racism in the old testament?
www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/slavery.html
@@TheMormonInformant mentions don’t say that it is okay. Bible obviously mentions murdering but does it condemm it?
Read it again if you missed the parts where God gave Abraham slaves, sent an angel to perpetuate Hagar's slavery, curses Gibeonites to be slaves forever, gives numerous instructions on how to be a slave master, and commands slaves be obedient to their masters.
The Church is not perfect. But 50 seconds in that is so cherry picking. Understanding socialiology would be helpful in looking at text. Gotta have patience while in a time oriented existence. All will be revealed... eventually
How is it cherry picking to point out that an LDS prophet (a man who claims to speak for God) was aggressively pro slavery?
We had contests in my mission for the most baptisms. I was shocked.
I always knew something was a little off about the mormon church when I used to attend. This just affirms it, not that surprised.
They expose u to pornography as therapy? That takes some major stones!I believe Dallin is a liar by profession! Excuse me a lawyer! He gets lots of practice! Remember practice makes perfect! He’s got in down to a science!
Not anymore. They mostly shut that down by the 90's. The last attempt to push conversion therapy was at BYU Idaho in 2015 by quack psychologist Michael D. Williams, but it got shut down after the news got wind of it.
They’re still a pos to do that anyways!The church is so damn corrupt! They purposely lied to us and controlled us brainwashed us for yrs! I’m guessing Until they got sued!I don’t trust them anymore! If they’re truly the true church they wouldn’t lie and they wouldn’t be rascist! They would apologize when they make a mistake! They wouldn’t be abusive, it’s obvious Joseph was a con artist and definitely nothing about him was prophetic!
What are you saying this stone in the hat worked and that he found some treasure with it ?
He was paid to assist in treasure digs by pointing to treasures only he could see underground through his seer stone. There is no record of any of these digs being successful, but Joseph was successful in getting paid for his pretense, making $14 a month ($480 in today's money).
My friend just joined lds recently and hes over joyed , hes been trying to seduce me to join them too but iam so skeptical to being into someone's control especially religion related. Im here trying to jig up on Lds, and i think iam cancelling the meeting i had scheduled with their missionaries.
Mormonism sounds a lot like Islam
I actually wished you were monetizing these videos, cause they are amazing.
I'm glad you find them helpful! I made the choice early on to separate my activism from my livelihood. I believe activism should never be motivated by a financial incentive. This way, my motivations remain pure, my critics can't question them, and I don't risk changing course base on where the money is.

@@TheMormonInformant It's all good. It didn't really match the vibe though and I don't know why it's so sad. I'm a "Mormon" and I just have a question. are people who make videos like this just being reporters or are they trying to spread a certain message of leaving the church or joining another church or something like that? I know Mormon critics and exmos all are different but what's the general idea they're trying to spread?
@@oscarmchugh1091 I'm not trying to convert anyone. My hope is that people can have access to all of the information they need to make an informed decision regarding their association with the LDS church. I would have left the church much sooner if I had had access to these facts, and could have saved years of my life and thousands of dollars in tithing. I want to save other people from the same wasted devotion. If the church works for you, don't let me talk you out of it. I'm just here for the people the church doesn't work for.
I do not have a problem with the church bailing out companies.
Weird flex, but okay.
8:00 Old Testament God did not condone any if those things, he did destroy cities sacrificing their own babies. This is one thing I don’t get about you atheists, you say God is unjust allowing so much suffering, then when he’s just and ends evil people you call it as murder. You’re contradicting yourself.
How do I remove myself and my name from the church? Ive heard that they use my name for tax breaks.

All lies all the time they cannot turn it off.
You child of hell! I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ you viper, mixing a little truth in with a myriad of lies. Turn away from your filthy homosexual behavior and come unto Christ you fiend of the infernal pit! Repent lest your suffering be sore! I know with all my heart that God the Father and Jesus Christ came down from heaven and stood in the air above the young 14 year old boy Joseph, and that after introducing Christ, the Lord commanded Joseph to join none of the churches on earth, that they were all in error, and that their doctrines and creeds were an abomination in his sight, as are yours, you viper! I know with all my heart that The Book Of Mormon is the word of God, and I challenge any who read my words, to read The Book Of Mormon for themselves from cover to cover, to think about what you read, then kneel down and ask Almighty God in the name of Jesus Christ if it is true. I know that if you will do this with a sincere heart, having faith in Christ, you will know, even as I do, that it is true, I found out for myself by doing this that it is true, and that Joseph Smith therefore, is a true prophet of God because he translated it from ancient records. Now you can be a fool, just as this lying homosexual imposter is, or you can read The Book Of Mormon for yourself then find out from God through prayer if it is true. I testify that it is true and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Read Moroni 10:3-5 of The Book Of Mormon, and do as he says.
