I love this idea of pulling highlights from episodes together into a more concise form! Sometimes you just don't have enough time for a full two-hour episode, so this is a great compromise of formats.

Great format Mormon Stories team. I usually listen to the entirety of the podcast in the background while working out or doing other similar activities. These tidbits with a tag to the full episode, help me choose which episodes are more appealing to me, and more similar to my story. All stories are important, but some are way more impactful for me and those close to me. This helps me in choosing and sharing specific episodes with others needing them too.

[@mormonstories]

Some stories don’t fully go over a missionary experience so we are going through and focusing on a theme. We try to make sure to title the videos based on the overall theme of their story. Thank you for being a listener and glad this helps! 😁

I had a great mission president who actually held regular trainings on how to answer what he called "hard questions" (like blacks and the priesthood, women and the priesthood, abortion, LGBT etc) he even printed out copies of essays about deeper or "hard" questions and gave them to us and encouraged us to look at them during personal and companion study. I served when gay marriage became legal and a seventy from salt lake, C. Scott Grow, came and spoke to us/trained us for several hours about how to show love to everyone. We also had free rage of using the bible, and any other religious resources we could get our hands on. The rule of thumb was if it pointed people to Christ it was okay to use. My mission president would personally call any bishops who were giving us a hard time too and had no problem doing "emergency transfers" if we didn't get along with our companion and sent missionaries home if they ever seriously harmed a companion or someone else or broke the rules (like sexual assault type of stuff) I really had a wonderful experience on my mission and I think it's important to understand every mission and mission president is different. It's unfortunate and deeply saddening to listen to bad experiences, but they definitely are not EVERYONE'S experiences.

[@mormonstories]

Sounds like you had a great Mission President

[@greenevegiebeast]

I had a good friend whom was high functioning autistic, his brothers were not. His brothers were both younger than him. They both went on mission. When he was not allowed to. I saw a very smart, young man start to spiral into deep depression and self harm. I'm not Mormon. I tried to help. He moved to Utah when his brothers left to their mission. I haven't heard from him sence.

Am q convert to the church and I learnt the good and bad sbout church and it's history before my mission. Those mission presidents were acting on their own thoughts and desires and not on behave of the church. And for the missionary who was assaulted I do feel genuinely sorry that he had to experience that. Action should have been taken against that Elder. With thd story of the mission president allowing Elders to masturbate once a week. That is NOT something the church encourages and was somthing that that mission president allowed. He should have been corrected by church leaders for teaching such a thing. Especially his bias stance towards the sisters vs the elders. Over all the point am making is. I'm not excusing what those persons did. It was wrong and totally against our doctrine. But I want persons to remember just like any organization you csn think of. It is ran by imperfect people, and some just do dumb things that unfortunately were overlooked, but this isnt the majority it's actually a minority and these ppl doesn't make the organization bad.

[@angelamaryquitecontrary4609]

@@judgementgames6483 But what on earth is wrong with masturbation? Everybody does it, it's completely normal, and to equate it to 'sin' makes about as much sense as regarding sneezing as sinful. Also - and I speak as a former young person! - if you don't do it, it's ALL you think about. I grew up in a very religious RC household, and, I'm afraid to say, I turned into a highly accomplished liar regarding all things I thought my mother had no right to know. If you bind children and young people too tightly, something is going to break. I'm so glad my husband's and my children have not grown up like this. My adult son has autism and developmental disabilities; when he starts 'rubbing' , we just ask him to do it in bed so no-one else can - or has to! - watch! What possible harm is done? And please don't tell me that LDS missionaries are held to a higher standard. We are all well aware of the beginnings of this religion, and sex was pretty high on the list, despite the present day prudishness. I feel genuinely sorry for young people sent out into the world with only rudimentary foreign language skills - they are constantly rejected, and are seen as a standing joke here in the UK. I wouldn't turn Brandon Flowers from my door, but that's about it. What appalling psychological damage must be done to such a young mind by rejection, lack of interest, mockery, loneliness, Verfremdung - I can only imagine that it's done to 'prove' what a terrible place the outside world is. You would receive the same results by sending them out to sell Kirby vacuum cleaners.

Sorry that a minority of bad experiences speaks for the majority who will tell you they had a different experience. I'm not going to speak on the topic of masturbation as I can see nothing I say will make a difference. As a Return Missionary. I can tell you that my mission has made me into the person that I am today. Not boasting about anything but just stating these because I attribute most of my success from the skills I gain because of a mission. I'm great at sales (Now I own my own Business accross 2 countries and on the way to a third branch. Those rejections you mentioned.

A few seconds after 5:03 the returned missionary (RM) Sister Missionary explains: "I think it was like 80 to 90 percent inactive" ---- The word "it" refers to the ratio of inactive members to active members in a ward. The highest individual authority in a ward is a bishop. So a ward is analogous to a protestant congregation of about 400 including women and children. A bishop is analogous to a pastor of a congregation of that size. ---- I am an RM who served as a full time missionary in Venezuela in 1988 before Venezuela became a communist country. Every city I visited in Venezuela had that same ratio of inactive to active members.

[@kullikullan]

I met a couple of missionaries in Sweden when I had just defected from an evangelical cult and bible school. I asked about the bible and they claimed the bible and the Book of Mormon had equal weight in Mormonism. They were trapped. I was not only p***ed off at all cults, I was also waaaaay better at the Bible than they were. They became very uncomfortable, after I won an argument about how you can actually burn in hell for eternityand, I never heard from them again.

@@davidjanbaz7728 OK. That's was what my cult taught us though. We didn't do symbolism. Every word in the Bible was the literal truth.

[@wiinguyen3683]

4:34 “ they were baptizing people where they needed to have to spend more resources to try and out reach”. So like what happens when you go to a church that has less resources, would god give you less blessings? If that was true than wouldn’t everyone try to go through a church that has the most available resources? If that is true, then what’s the point of having different religious beliefs? Because at that point, it wouldn’t even be about which church or religion is true. It would just be about which church or religion has the most available resources. “My religion/church is TRUE because we have more resources to help people”

My JW investigator didn't want to listen to my companion or other missionaries, because they couldn't use the Bible properly. Also, I was extremely bored reading the standard works, so I was reading talks like "True Meaning of the Atonement", by Cleon Scousen (if I remember correctly). One time I was given a fiction book about the Templars, similar to The Da Vinci Code I read it through in 4 days.

[@sean9522]

I did the same thing on my mission out in Pennsylvania. We had a “dial an anti” as well affectionately called him. His first name was Greg, not sure what his last name was. He would put on various messages on an answering machine you could call in and hear a short diatribe about something or the other. One week’s offering was all the grammatical changes made by the prophet Joseph Smith between the original manuscript and the printer’s manuscript (remembering that Joseph dictated the Book of Mormon to several scribes). Greg’s reasoning was thus: “if the translation of the Book of Mormon came by the gift and power of God, Joseph had no right to tamper with it!” And herein lies the problem with all those assertions about how wrong the Mormon church is. The assertions themselves are wrong in the first place. Joseph Smith’s translation was not the problem but problems are found in the way helpers transcribed it!!! Joseph had every right to proofread and clarify his translation, when one sees him as a true prophet of God! Whether it’s baptism for the dead, translation of the Book of Mormon, if one cares enough to beyond the shallow assertions made, one will inevitably find that the original premise of the argument against the church and its doctrine is false to begin with. Such as apparent contradictions between “no man has seen God at any time” in John, then “Moses and 70 of the elders of Israel saw the God of Israel” in Deuteronomy. Antis will use the scripture in John to “prove” that no one ever saw God, and try to debunk Joseph Smith’s first vision, and ignore all the other obvious scriptures in the Bible which support that Joseph’s vision of God the Father and the son Jesus Christ is not a false possibility, at least. What about matyr Stephen when as he was being stoned to death, saw the heavens open and saw God and Jesus at God’s right hand?!! And so on and on it goes with this stuff. The DNA argument that there is no DNA matching or markers in common between Native Americans is another assertion. Yes, there are native Americans who origin doesn’t include Hebrew DNA. But as the story keeps coming out about DNA, we find that among groups of Native Americans they share at least 5 markers with some Jewish groups and by no means is Jewish blood homogenous in this regard. Book of Mormon civilization was not Mayan!it is Hopewell! And answers about, where there horses in ancient America etc etc was what Book of Mormon people called horses actually the horses of the Old World or another beast of burden like the Llama?! We don’t really know. So…running into this anti stuff, hold onto your hats, so to speak, so many of these assertions trying to get LDS people to shake their faith are simply false.

[@timhazeltine3256]

If the Hopewell Culture located in North America was the lds civilization in the new world, why would lamas, an animal that was only found in South America be present? Also, the premise that people from the Mediterranean were responsible for civilizations in the new world is demeaning to indigenous peoples because it implies they were not sufficiently intelligent to do so on their own. I also recommend you take a deeper dive into DNA and the science behind it to get a better understanding of "markers" and what they mean. Finally, you must find it deeply unsettling, if not spiritually threatening that people have left your faith or you would not have responded to this video. Perhaps it would be more healing to let these people go forward with their lives without using their stories as ammunition for defending your religion.

This is a warped interpretation of what I hear. Anyone, at anytime can look up these essays.

Debating and discussion about in-depth doctrine isn’t the focus. In fact the belief is that those that are open to our Heavenly Fathers guidance it’s the Holy Spirit that is the true teacher. That with prayer and scripture reading along with learning the basic principles investigators can know for themselves the truth. It’s not the knowledge from a 19 year old boy debating or convincing but the Holy Spirit that is the true testifier of Christ and his gospel. This young man could at anytime prior or with his free time while on his mission or after follow the guidance of the leaders of the church and seek out and study the words of leaders.
