Turley acts just like a politician. He never actually answers the questions. Just complains they would take too much time. Then he says they're working on publishing answers. What a load of crock!!! It's only defense is to dodge, dodge, dodge. My verdict... Guilty as charged!!! He's been white washing the history.. He's an arrogant prick!

fuck the mormon church

Those American Mormons should have known better than to mess with the Swedes. 😎

Only a few hours to answer such important and relevant questions? The church sends a couple of guys with excuses and apologetics to answer questions that could make or break the Swedish member's desire to stay? The answers were things like, "We just don't know for sure." and "It's the way things were done back then." And my favorite, "The way the story was retold for many years changed the facts and now the church is going to set the story straight." So many lies! Why not send a member of the Q15? Were there not enough big tithe payers there? Comparing people who leave to Korihor? This fireside alone should make every single active member of the church think twice before going to another church meeting. As someone who tried so hard to keep believing and just couldn't, this fireside makes my blood boil.

To all angels and yes to Lucifer

It's so frustrating to listen to how the church representatives won't directly answer the questions. That's a sign that the person is hiding something. On the other hand, I love how Hans keeps drilling them, insisting on an actual answer. He is awesome.

6:30 so much for the apologist and leaders saying that these issues have all been talked about and addressed prior to this as openly as they knew how. Either the apologist or leaders or both are lying.

Gross.

Every church member should view this

I am a DNA expert and he is not correct. You can follow historical population origins.

How disingenuous are these church representatives! Not answering the questions, rushing through to “check off the box” that they met with these good people who are seeking honest answers to their questions.

JEREMY RUNNELLS IS A HERO, AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE TO EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY TO THE MORMONS WHO STILL BELIEVE IN THE MORMON CORPORATION, WHICH IS A FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coward just isn’t strong enough word to describe these men...

The questions are being answered but not by the church. It is all coming out and Joe was a FRAUD!

The problem with all of your responses is that this procedure follows years of people meeting with him and trying to help him (dispite the clear and obvious dishonesty in his "search for truth" at least as presented in the letter, and the fact that he easily makes a living off of it now) and that the disciplinary council to which he was summoned has very clear rules which were laid out in the removed parts of the footage. He was given 45 minutes to make a statement in which he would not be interrupted. 45 min to plead his case, to say why he thinks that the CES letter doesnt constitute apostasy as defined by either (not both) of the definitions in the handbook. Playing the victim ("they wont answer my questions, they're spiritually executing me") when the slightest bit of context, or the smallest sliver of truth would expose Runnells as the instigator, the willfully ignorant, and the clearly deceitful makes for good television, but for a sad following.

The questions that are being asked are not spiritual in nature. Therefore the spirit is not to be the sole revealer of truth of these circumstances. That is why physical evidence is required to demonstrate the truthfulness of the men’s actions and behaviors.

A lot of that's a hard question and I don't have time to answer, so read... I thought that they were there to answer hard ones.

What you're talking about around the 2:26 min mark has already been covered by FairMormon. The theory of the two that I believe it is that Mormon inadvertently wrote the ones name meaning to write thee other. That is in reference of course to YOUR crowds take on the King Benjamin and King Mosiah scenario. A scenario in your minds. You're all always saying that Smith plagiarized to come up with the Book of Mormon. Therefore, HOW did just Joseph Smith decide to go out and plagiarize?

Creepy Mormon leaders are crazy obsessed with how people can and can't touch their pee pees. Perverted Mormons.

What's a CES letter? Where's your attorney ?

The Dumbass at the church is a reason people don't like churches. Srew that church their all going to Hell. Your a Dumbass that's my statement. Catch me on youtube bitch's.

This really makes you think! I'm glad I left.

i am an excommunicated mormon, And, Jeremy got what he desires. They would have had dialogue with him, but I am sure that they knew he was going to video it. That is why they said nothing. My court of love was three hours long and had dialogue both ways. The Church can not comment on peoples sins. And I am willing to bet that one of Jeremy's Mormon friends told them that he were going to video it. Jeremy's friend that told on him, STOPPED all dialogue. The LDS church does not want to give him more to put on the internet. The reason why Jeremy is frustrated in the video is because he knows that the church is true. but he wants to make a name for himself on the internet, so he put it on himself. Jeremy should STOP reading and COPING the Anti-Mormon literature of Gerald and Sandra Tanner, from Light House Ministries, it has been proven to hold falsehood and they deceive many by not accurately telling the truth, or misleading the reader. Which they are good at doing. When he should of went to an Institute of Religion teacher.

What's the point of this video?

Why doesn't the first presidency issue the truth? why send historians that don't have the authority to explain or give answers. the answers given here are less that convincing. I feel sorry for the LDS church. Tell the Truth. Respect people who have given their time, love, tithing to follow the "Living Prophet". the Church is not telling the truth and now they are going to white wash the history. One lie lends to more lies.

It is men like this that run our country. Men that just bully and try to force their will on others. Priesthood leaders, you must repent of your wrongdoings (transgressions that nulifies and voids the very power you claim to worthily hold.) Seeking and finding the truth exposes the blind men living their lives hiding behind Jesus Christ. Let your light shine and hide it not among those that burn brighter.

One of the reason why I left the LDS church because the guilt of masturbation.

That stake president is a pussy

"How do I know if it's the Holy Ghost or my own thoughts?" "The Answer is: It doesn't matter."

Woot

That is spectacularly awful!!!!! What could they possibly say? The church doesn't have the truth, and the church no longer has the ability to hide the truth from its members. Why can't they just open up, clear the air, and offer official answers to Jeremy's questions? Makes me so angry. They have to know that they are in the wrong, yet the keep toeing the line.

EXACTLY why I left the church, no answers for any questions, just a bunch of dudes in ties who are assholes!!!! I WAS a Mormon for 52 years but FUCK THEM!!!

Nice Job Jeremy. I am sorry the church can not hear questions. I too have had this problem, and have never so much as gotten an acknowledgement of my questions (let alone answers). I am amazed that human beings could be so unsympathetic to honest inquiry. Jesus is the truth, not a church.

Mormons don't realize they are going to Hell because they reject who Jesus is. Jesus is the 2nd Person of the Trinity who created all things which is not possible if Jesus had to work to become a god as Mormons teach. Mormons teach the father of Jesus use to be a man who had to work to become a god, and this goes on in an infinite regress of father gods creating people out of atheistic preexisting atheistic material. Whereas in Christianity God created out of Himself and there were no gods beside Him, before Him, after Him, and no material or pre-existing intelligences or matter as terms they like to use. Christian brothers and sisters if you were worried you would have to spend eternity with these frauds, do not worry, for they are going to Hell.

I have read the CES letter in great detail and I agree with the vast majority of it. It prompted me to research a little myself and I drew all the same conclusions. When the church finally came out and in a covert way hardened their stance on same sex marriage that was the final straw and I wrote my own letter of resignation.Truth has nothing to hide. Truth has nothing to fear. The LDS church is constantly hiding things and while publicly advocating openness, the truth is far from that.I have had more peace since I left than I ever had when I was a member. And the spirit has not left me one jot!

Mike drop bitches

So THAT's what a Morgbot looks like: dead eyed, flat toned voice, fearful, deceptive, and vengeful. Creepy as fuck! Why do people still believe in this shit?

Mormonism cannot abide truth.

How in the world did they think it was a good idea to deny this man an interpreter?

I'd like to bear my testimony that I know the CES Letter is true.

The LDS Church is operating from a position of fear and defensiveness. They are not bringing hope to the world, but clinging to their religion out of fear of the afterlife and fear of the world. Their refusal to answer the most basic questions about their history and beliefs shows their insecurity. They abuse their own members for being gay, for treating women as people, and especially for asking questions. They are retreating into a position of ignorance and cowardice, lashing out at those whom they can reach and dismissing everyone else as damned.

Wow. How can local LDS Church officials hold disciplinary court without reviewing the evidence against the person attending? Behavior like this makes no sense! From my experience, it seems that local officials are being directed by Church HQ (or Strengthening Church Members Committee). So much for President J. Reuben Clark's statement, “If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed.” The truth is harmful therefore it is not reviewed.

Seems like the stake president called him out on his apostasy, fair and square. The substance of the CES letter, Jeremy's unanswered questions and the church's essays are irrelevant. Jeremy has publicly called the church, Joseph Smith, the BoA, the BoM and everything else a fraud. Pretty sure he's meet the church's definition of apostasy. Yes, Jeremy didn't get any answers because there were none to give, particularly from a room full of unsophisticated and scarred little men. The stake president couldn't even read the word "schizophrenic!" I like the CES letter but refuse to regard Jeremy as a martyr. My hunch is his grandfather doesn't have a CES friend to begin with. He's put together a concise collection of contradictions and inconsistencies and it's garnered a lot of attention. He has earned his 15 minutes of fame. He and others like him are forcing the brethren at 47 E South Temple to confront some of their "problems." Man up, Jeremy. The tooth fairy never existed. Your disappointment and betrayal is no more profound than anyone else's. You're going to get through this just fine. I'll wager John Dehlin might even give you a couple of therapy sessions in exchange for another one of those riveting live Mormon Stories episodes!

Bravo, Bravo Jeremy Demonstrating once again that the LDS Church is nothing, has nothing, answers nothing, and offers nothing. Nothing except fear, shame, guilt, intimidation and increasingly bigotry and intolerance. It is a room of 15 men who sit there, vacant, expressionless, empty. Everything unique about that church is not good, and everything good in that church is not unique ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now for those not sure what happened, The Chief Toecutter is the head of a "stake", the ecclesiastical authority over 10 or so wards/ diocese/ chapels each with a few hundred members headed by a Bishop. So he has 10 or so Bishop/ Priests report to him. In that room were 15 other men, 12 were "High Council"- senior members who help lead the Stake, and they attend these courts as pretend jurors and inquisitors. The "President' also had 2 counsellor/ helpers, a clerk and a secretary- all men of course. So there were 17 people there to intimidate Jeremy. With that context, Jeremy isn't even saying "show me the evidence?"...he's saying "hey, please tell me- what are the charges?". Silence. Then he asks the gutless yes-men- "Morbots", if you will, if they had read anything he wrote, silence. If they knew what the charges were, silence, If they have been briefed. Silence. Lies, Lies, Lies Never mind Kangaroo court. There was no court. This was a Soviet show trial, as part of a current purge of the LDS church to remove all dissenters. The result is that the defendant is taken out and spiritually shot Jeremy's purging_them_was pure, rolled 24 karat gold. Absolute gold. So well timed, so beautifully delivered. He knew they were liars, and they knew he knew they were liars. Bravo Jeremy, bravo

It was the magic underwear that started the alarm bells ringing when a work colleague tried to convert me to this religion. I wouldn't trust any organization that tries to dictate to me what I can wear under my clothes.

To Ben McCrea , are you sure you are using the part of the Bible that, you believe, is translated correctly?! Besides, we are to acknowledge the name of God (Jesus), not His creations.

If that's Joseph Smith, damn! what a good looking guy. He would have made a great movie star if they had invented movies.

First they take control of the minds, then they take control of the bodies. When the minds and bodies are under their control, they can now control the type of underwear that you wear, and you still have to pay for it.
