I think all my family and friends who have left the church have all said to me, "Let me share something I learned ..." and you're right, they treat it like it was newly discovered information.

[@lukev483]

@@rconger384 What anchor would that be? The prophet? Many of the issues stem from the prophets. Here’s a list: The Happiness Letter to Nancy Rigdon, Racism being official doctrine of the church signed by the First Presidency, the 2015 exclusion policy reversed just over 3 yrs later, polyandry, the Kirkland bank scam, Word of Wisdom is not based on a evolutionary human diet, the many many lies they have told over the pulpit, the list goes on. Next the BofM. Here is a list: anachronisms, beatitudes match KJV version of the Bible and not the JST version. The Isaiah sections of the BofM are verbatim with the KJV. DNA issues of the native Americans. Plagiarism of many books of his time and the KJV.

This is exactly my same experience and Heavenly Father has whispered to me, “be patient, stay, and just love.” I believe they are being worked on as well as I see micro progress in them. It has caused me to dive further into things as well and has solidified my testimony in so many deeper and fuller ways. Like the atonement and the role of sin and how they both work together for our good. It has been an amazing journey for me and I keep waiting and watching for his hand to help them and as I seek for the little things he starts to show me how it is being done. Stay strong!!

[@RegardingThePlan]

Regarding Emma: I had a powerful witness of the Book of Mormon when I was in high school. And yet I was bothered for years that Emmy was so hurt by plural marriage. To me, notwithstanding the book is true, it was possible Joseph could have fallen. One day I was reading in the Documentary History of the Church. In it Joseph wrote something like, “Lord God Emma went shopping.” “Lord God we chopped wood today.” I thought ‘That’s neat, Joseph included prayers in his journal.’ I got on my knees and said, “Heavenly Father it seems like Joseph is a righteous man at this time in his life. I will read all these volumes if you let me know if he died a righteous man.” I got off my knees and didn’t give that another thought. A couple weeks later a brother in our ward was speaking about the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. He reminded us of his last words, “O Lord my God.” I thought ‘Cool that’s just like his journal.’ And then I heard five words as clear as words can be. I heard, “He died a righteous man.” Do you know when Joseph Smith Senior dried? June 27, 1844. Trick question. After Joseph’s dad died, they started calling Joseph Smith Jr., senior. That was some of the trivia I picked up in reading that Documentary History. I read all seven volumes. It was a debt I gladly paid.

This is great! This young lady is full of good helps for the faith struggler as well as family and friends of those who have left! I agree that the book of Mormon is truly the keystone of our faith and without it the church wouldn't exist. Also to hang in there through times of doubt, even going through the motions of church activity waiting for answers and peace to come can help. When everything hit me hard in life one time I was spiritually numb for four years. Cancer, a severe son with autism, house fire, wayward children, and after being so faithful my whole life. I felt numb and just went to church each week not feeling for four years or so. Finally as I handed everything to the Lord, peace and joy crept back into my life. Hang in there and the sun 🌞 will rise again! Study of near death experiences online can also help a great deal. Of course the daily study of the book of Mormon is essential!

Thank you Sheri. Those are some really tough things to go through. I work with higher functioning teens with Austism Spectrum Disorder and Fetal Alcohol Disorder and they are TOUGH kids. I only get them for a short time and I fall in love with them because, in spite of their “disorder,” they have other super powers. Kind of like a blind person whose other senses are stronger. It’s hard to explain, but I know you have seen that. I often think about the mothers of these kids and how weary they must be. I’m grateful that I get to tag-team for a while to give them a break. Your statement about wayward children is what really struck me this morning. Two of my children read the CES Letter together and left the church together. They didn’t just leave the church, they adopted some dangerous addictions. As I read the opening chapters of the Book of Mormon my heart broke for Lehi and Sarah and I openly sobbed at the pain they must have felt over their sons. I think parents in all ages of time have similar heartaches that test us to our core. We are never the same afterwards. Thank goodness! You must be amazing!!

[@sherigraham3873]

God bless you for your work with this special population! You are definitely in a group that stands apart from most!! And your children that read a letter and left the church. (CES) All I can say is that that experience is the hardest! Special needs children are celestial, burnt houses can't be rebuilt, cancer can be surgically removed and treated, but losing a child in the gospel is the most excruciating to a parents heart. But this beautiful channel gives hope of a young person and an older person coming back! As the brethren have said, If you leave, where will you go? My belief is that as sanity decreases in the 🌎 world many will rethink their course in life and come back 🔙. That is my prayer 🙏. Thankyou for replying!

Thank you Alba for sharing your story and for doing the hard work. It’s interesting that feelings are so attacked as invalid and internal brainwashing when all of our decisions are first emotional and then logical. As a nurse, I have relied on my emotions, or gut-feeling so many times on behalf of a patient. They are real enough to save a life. They are real enough to save a testimony.

[@DB_Golfer]

Wow what a great comment. In the crucible of doubt he talks about the emotions first part of decisions. His example is when a child has been abused, our first reaction is an emotional one at what happened and then it is the intellectual one afterwards. What an interesting comment though that you say you have used emotions in your decision making to save a life. I love it!!

Hitler killed millions of Jews based on his emotions first and logic second.

[@DB_Golfer]

@@lukev483 ha okay lol, Just because evil people use emotions to justify their evil works doesn’t mean good can’t be done for the same reason. Mother Teresa served a dedicated life of service based on emotion too - love. John 14:26 (26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.) says the Holy Ghost will testify of truth, Acts 5:22-23 says (22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.) These listed are all emotions - God speaks to us in our hearts through these emotions. If we try to solely understand God intellectually I think we will find ourselves frustrated and unable to do so. But as we include those emotions God will open our minds to help us understand all that we want to know.

[@lukev483]

[@TrebizondMusic-cm6fp]

There are different phenomena that people talk about under the same umbrella of "feelings" or "emotions." I've had spiritual witnesses that pierced my heart and brought tears to my eyes, but they're not the same as affects or passions. I've been through emotional manipulation, trying to get me to make decisions based on feelings stirred up in the moment. That's not the same thing as intuition, inspiration and revelation.

[@TrebizondMusic-cm6fp]

I like the scene in _God's Army_ when the older missionary tells the apostate: "I've been through everything you've read and then some." There's a scene in the novel _Snow Crash_ by Neal Stephenson when a character who returned to her faith in God "the hard way" says something like "I have one hell of an immune system now." Having gone through my own slow burn of doubt and existential crisis, I appreciate hearing these kinds of experiences. I'm sure there are many, many people who have gone through their own slow burns of doubt but resolved it and stayed, and I'm glad we can hear more of their experiences. When I was 18 I encountered the idea that a Testimony is not based on emotion. At the time I still thought it was, but it got me on a long process of reflecting, observing and experiencing the differences between emotion and intuition. If I based my decisions on my feelings or "followed my heart" I should have left long since. Inspiration and revelation come through different channels than momentary floods of emotion. In my experience, I have gotten swells of emotion as a result of spiritual witness, but always as a by-product, not the same thing. A lot of the doubt and crisis I've had, I've realized, came from my sheltered First World expectation that faith, religion, God, cosmic truth, was all supposed to be about comfortable, soft, sentimentality. Coming around to acknowledge how much howl and growl there really is in mere existence has been crucial in reclaiming and reinforcing my own testimony. This particularly relates to polygamy: reading evolutionary psychology gave me a better understanding of human sexual nature, and polygamy doesn't shock me.

Thank you for sharing your faith crisis journey and your return to God and Truth. God doesn’t expect us to understand everything in this life. All that he wants us to know about our Savior, life, and how we get back to him is in the scriptures. We must learn to TRUST HIM. Some day we will understand the things we don’t understand here and now. FAITH is the first gospel principal. We must exercise our FAITH AND TRUST GOD.

[@anichols2760]

Incredible story. Each person's faith journey is unique despite similar experiences to others. No matter who embraces or rejects this church we all adopt our perspective in how we see life and we all operate on the principle of faith. We either believe and trust the church is true or we believe and trust the church is not true. We all get education with faith it will help us face life and careers. We believe if we work we will get paid. We believe we will have food and water tomorrow. I have a family member who does not believe. I'm not sure what he has studied that may have contributed to loss of faith but I have read every document I can think of that opposes this church and sheds light on troubling church history accounts and I have not felt to leave. I recall thinking and sifting through this information and as I did it made me feel sick but as I thought of my experiences with the church I had memories flood through my mind of all the spiritual moments of my life and then I felt those familiar feelings of the Holy Spirit confirm again what I had known before that this church was true despite all the negative accounts spewed forth by those who embrace working against this church. The feelings and experience with the Holy Spirit are so loving, warming, and comforting that is has a way of removing every worry and doubt. I am fully aware that every person does not have this same experience. We are biological and thus each of us may experience the Spirit in similar or different ways. It's also a gift of the Spirit for some to know and some to believe on those who know. We all have different spiritual gifts none being better than another. The last thing I mention is the reality and power of the two opposing principles of faith and doubt. If we believe and nurture that belief then it is like planting a seed that will grow within us. If we nurture doubt it has a way of choking seeds of faith until they die. If we nurture doubt it is like cutting the root or branch of a tree so that it no longer receives nutrients and it will dry out and die. Doubting blocks the Spirit. Believing allows spiritual growth. These are the experiences Ive had with the church. Thank you for sharing yours.

[@millennialfalkon]

I went through so much of these emotions and thoughts too. Thank you for sharing! It IS good to find others like yourself and that you’re not alone. I also dismissed my feelings. The toxic critics that argue for this can easily infect you while you’re confused and uncertain. But ignoring how you feel is foolhardy. It’s part of your biofeedback mechanism and to ignore it is to ignore feedback. Today we actually know there are neutrons in the heart and stomach. But when I say, how you feel, there’s a clear distinction to me, in my own experience, between emotions and a much deeper instinct at the core of your being. Being congruently aligned with your very best instincts. Your conscience. If you’re going to ignore that out of hand, that way leads to misery.

You have to have your OWN testimony.some people can choose without the faith wobble but a lot are going to have to have the wobble to be able to stand on their own testimony. Now I hope you can CHOOSE to let yourself Feel! Because that’s how the Holy Ghost teaches us and don’t you dare let anyone make you feel weak for trusting your feelings! THATS FAITH!!! You go girl!

Loved this one. It’s scary how cunning the adversary really is. I’ll never forget reading about what happened in Kirkland and the bank that Joseph Smith help found that failed. Parley P Pratt was for a moment caught up in anger at Joseph Smith Jr. But soon after went to Joseph and asked for his forgiveness. And he said Joseph did frankly forgive him and blessed him. And through that experience he said that he more easily recognized evil and good and to cling to the good and shun the evil. That’s something people forget at times that you don’t have to embrace doubt. Where is it written that we should doubt or give into our doubt? Shun the doubt because there’s no use for it but to instill fear and to become vulnerable.

I walked into seminary and my teacher said we were talking about polygamy and that we were to be respectful with the lesson. He read his ancestor’s story. It was a sacred class. It made me rustle with my feelings because of the testimony the Holy Ghost shared that day. In honestly, polygamy grossed me out and prayed I’d never be asked to do it, but I knew it was from God. A quote I have heard was what came first must go last and what was last must be first. Something to that effect. Because it was before, it needed to be repeated. I can look at my ancestor’s polygamy stories and see God’s hands in it. It was asked of you. Not some nasty guys going and claiming woman. My ancestor didn’t want to take another wife, but after tears and crying with his wife, he told her to pick someone she could live with. (Some were asked to take a specific wife while others were told to pick one.) She picked her sister and it changed our family and was a huge blessing. Do I like the idea of polygamy, no, but I can see a beauty behind and see the Lord’s hands in it, absolutely. I think the world points out the gross, prideful, nasty unrighteous stories instead of showing us how it really worked, the church laws around it.

Therefore this leaves the door open for Satan (II Corinthians 11:14-15) to step into your life with a false christ or prophet showing you "signs and wonders" to lead you away from the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. God Himself warns us about this in MATTHEW 24:23-24 "Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect..." Mormons teach and believe that their jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. So Mormons, which Jesus do you believe in? 1). Your jesus of the Book of Mormon who is the brother of Satan. OR 2). The Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.

Hi Albert, I truly believe you are doing this from the goodness of your heart but one question I have for you - since i have read the Book of Mormon more than 20 times in my life and have never seen any point where it states that Christ and Satan are brothers (thats actually more biblical than anything else), where did you get this information and how did it lead you to this conclusion that it is taught it the Book of Mormon? Something I would like to share with you about Christ I learned from it: And now, my son, I perceive there is somewhat more which doth worry your mind, which ye cannot understand-which is concerning the justice of God in the punishment of the sinner; for ye do try to suppose that it is injustice that the sinner should be consigned to a state of misery. 2 Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee. For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground, from whence they were taken-yea, he drew out the man, and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life- 3 Now, we see that the man had become as God, knowing good and evil; and lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever, the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword, that he should not partake of the fruit- 4 And thus we see, that there was a time granted unto man to repent, yea, a probationary time, a time to repent and serve God. 5 For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately, and partaken of the tree of life, he would have lived forever, according to the word of God, having no space for repentance; yea, and also the word of God would have been void, and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated. 6 But behold, it was appointed unto man to die-therefore, as they were cut off from the tree of life they should be cut off from the face of the earth-and man became lost forever, yea, they became fallen man. 7 And now, ye see by this that our first parents were cut off both temporally and spiritually from the presence of the Lord; and thus we see they became subjects to follow after their own will. 8 Now behold, it was not expedient that man should be reclaimed from this temporal death, for that would destroy the great plan of happiness. 9 Therefore, as the soul could never die, and the fall had brought upon all mankind a spiritual death as well as a temporal, that is, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord, it was expedient that mankind should be reclaimed from this spiritual death. 10 Therefore, as they had become carnal, sensual, and devilish, by nature, this probationary state became a state for them to prepare; it became a preparatory state. 11 And now remember, my son, if it were not for the plan of redemption, (laying it aside) as soon as they were dead their souls were miserable, being cut off from the presence of the Lord. 12 And now, there was no means to reclaim men from this fallen state, which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience; 13 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God. 14 And thus we see that all mankind were fallen, and they were in the grasp of justice; yea, the justice of God, which consigned them forever to be cut off from his presence. 15 And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also. With love my friend, The Book of Mormon is a testament of Christ and testifies of His divine mission to save us all from sin and death and we cannot be saved from that without him. We agree more with each other than you think even on grace and works 😊

Albert has continually left this same comment on every one of our videos. It is just spam

[@AlbertJLouie]

@@Come.Back.Podcast Well, consider me your door to door missionary, but in a digital world delivering the truth from the Bible.

[@DB_Golfer]

Albert, you seem to be very concerned that we worship somehow a different Jesus, could you please elaborate on how or why that makes any difference as to Christ’s divinity, mission, and atonement has any bearing based on who is or is not his brother?

[@DB_Golfer]

@@AlbertJLouie but also you did not respond to my first statement

[@LDaw_96]

The “trinity” is not biblical. Jesus is my brother too. We are all sons and daughters of a loving Father.

So is Satan according to Mormonism. So why does one brother get hated on while the other one receives so much love. Satan literally is hated on because he has a different viewpoint than God. That would be like hating on the Democrats because they have different political views than yourself and kicking them out of the country. We have no records of him killing anyone. We have no records in the Bible or elsewhere abusing anyone.
