I was told by a missionary that he'd listened to "Mormon stories a few times." The last pair n i discussed aspects of John Larsen's talk on the Bom and I texted references for verification as per request. People are getting the clue. It was Professor Plum in the library with a candlestick!!!

Imagine all the Mormon facts that missionaries learn once they leave their home.

At “issue” is often used in wills or probate in 1700 & 1800. (Still used in probate today). “Died without issue [child]”

GOOD! Maybe there's still hope for the world. Maybe one day we will be rid of Joseph Smith and his lies.

What episode is this from?

Ever learning and never coming to a knowledge of the truth. There's a reason God made different levels in heaven.

3:21:01 “that delicious sense of certainty” yes! I miss it.😢 beautifully said.

2:08:21 So true.

2:05:50 That's the same way I feel. Great point.

❤🫶🏼Brilliant! Every last word they said.

I lived nextdoor to a missionary house for years. It was a revolving door with missionaries. It was literally every three weeks there were new missionaries. Can anyone tell me what they change locations and partners so often?

Go to a phish show, to feel the spirit!!!

Thank you for fulfilling prophecy!

Kind of wish it didn't take me 16 years after my mission to leave, but the indoctrination runs deep.

Oh, my gosh, I have been dying for this panel. I was never in a leadership calling so had no idea of the inner workings or politics. Amazing peek behind the curtain. Thank you all.

John and Margie, your generosity in cheerleading for Shelise - a model of true and gracious grown-ups.

If they have access to internet they probably figured out the truth.

Wow. I thought I was an outlier in 2006 when I lost my testimony 6 months after completing my mission in Brazil.

Former missionary here. Served in the Canada Edmonton Mission between the years of 2020-2022 now happily enjoying a glass of red wine.😄

Humans think in patterns or desire patterns,nature is in patterns. We are in patterns. Everything is in patterns.

I remember when I was in the CCM (Mexico MTC) circa 2016, an area 70 came and spoke to us, in that talk he said “within 5 years 50% of you will be inactive or have left the faith, that is what the data tell us, HALF OF YOU, do you want that to be you? How can YOU change that number?” cue a list of things that were supposed to keep us ‘faithful’ and ‘strong’. So that number doesn’t surprise me, of course that has accelerated as time has gone on.

A never Mormon here! I am so grateful for this wonderful panel and the thoughtful questions posed to them. It is helpful for me to better understand my Mormon family members and friends. I always knew there was a lot of pressure on Mormons in general, but now I get why some have completely collapsed after serving. My prayer is that programs like these may help make the church a more loving, accepting organization.

How is that loving they neighbour as yourself? The Mormon Church is teaching people to gossip and be unkind! Even the Pope has accepted and allows same sex marriages (2023). I am never a Mormon. I listen to Mormon Stories all the time now. I 💕 loved your story.

The bishop telling these women that the Lord wants you to serve as Relief Society President feels like the psychotic boyfriend telling them that God told me we are supposed to be married. Gives me yucky creepy vibes. Just Gross

Well at least 40% is almost half.

I am an ExMormon. I had 3 little boys of my own. Late 1970s and early 1980s. I was cub scout leader forever. I loved it . Back then these boys were in my community. Some had come to my daycare. Some were neighbors. I took these boys into the woods. Sometimes overnight. We had camp fires. We sang. We hiked. We ate Smores around the fire. Great experience. Once one boy slid down the hill about midnight and went into the creek! He was traumatized! To save the situation I comforted him and wrapped him in towels and put him in my sleeping bag with me! The furtherest thing from my mind was rape! Something like that would be unheard of now! I loved my cub scouts! I was with them a lot! They went to school and Church with my own boys! I think the suspicions now are barbaric!

I went home, 10 months in and left the church for good 2 months later. It was the hardest thing I'd done at the time, but is so worth it.

So not true 😅 nice try though

Satan retains all the powers a spirit has. He also retains his entire memory. The power he has is subject to the limitations of the vail & what he may directly use. Thus he is limited pretty much to the level of temptations that those with mortal bodies can endure.

its like that in catholic church too.

Why are you yelling,Calm down please.

This💯

UTAH POLICE ARE HORRIFIC, ignoring leads, destroying evidence & even covering up Mormon crimes! WARREN JEFF'S CHILD-RAPE then MARRIAGE FLDS CHURCH/ELIZABETH SMART KIDNAPPING/GABY PETITO MURDER/ TAMMY DAYBELL (Tylee & JJ) MURDERS /RUDY FRANKE'S TORTURED KIDS were all VICTIMS IGNORED BY THE UTAH "LDS PATRIARCHAL" POLICE ( until BODIES WERE FOUND!) UTAH & REXBURG are hot spots for MORMON CULTS, CRAZIES & VIOLENCE (because they know they will be tolerated) UTAH LDS CHURCH, UNIVERSITY & POLICE have been repeatedly accused of silencing victims of rape, ignoring domestic wife abuse & even covering child abuse in NUMEROUS LEGAL CASES!

Great news!

They are finding out the truth

Aw man! I was hoping the confrontation with the stake President was a fistfight in the parking lot!

Who’s Exmo here in 2024! Lemme hear a whoop!

Exmo here loud and proud! Go tell it on the mountain!

I’ll tell you EXACTLY what’s happening…the missionaries are being talked to by people of other faiths & philosophies & ideas…they are seeing there are other GOOD ways of living than just being Mormons…

I have a prediction. That Dalin will be baptized and return to the church. I believe deep inside he has a testimony. Mark my word

The 1st couple of hours seemed to be reminiscent of meetings with TBM LDS women leaders. They enjoyed serving in RS and loved the sisters. But, when John started up the rapid-fire questions in that last hour, that's when it got real, and the questions elicited the other side....the heartbreak, disillusionment, and loss. Well done, Margi and John, and the women who courageously spoke their truth.

I guess today investigators have access to informations the church was hiding for years! Missionaries will get that informations. I was on the mission without having a clue about some things I was teaching. I had no clue about different versions of the first vision and many other things! And the very few I've heard about, I was thinking it can't be true. Today it's another time.

I am riveted to this program. You are doing all of us a big service.

Good, they are getting out before they get married, have kids, and get trapped in the bullshit.

No checks and balances to this rigid high demand all-encompassing life long comittment, which is harmful to one's mental health. Expect half the young men to leave.. and taking young women with them

ALL of these women are some of the coolest! speaking as an active member of the church, I wish they were my friends. It’d make attending so much more enjoyable.

Beautiful women whose stories need to be heard and believed because they are representative of so many of us

Amazing panel. Keep up the important work.

Our generation had no vehicles to fact check doctrine and get access to the church historical texts and books. We had to believe what was said to us under the cloak of prophecy or revelation. Young people and older people now have GOOGLE!
