Rocket money sells your information. It is irresponsible for anyone to take a sponsorship from rocket money because you’re recommending that your audience gives their personal financial information to a company that will turn around and sell it. Rocket money one branch of a larger corporation(rocket money, inc) that includes rocket mortgage. So when you have rocket money, you are asking rocket mortgage to send you stuff. As someone who didn’t know that Rocket money and rocket mortgage sold information and then I attempted to use rocket mortgage solely for information purposes before we picked a mortgage company or bank and then two years later I’m still getting scam calls not only asking me to apply for a mortgage but also offering deals to buy me out of my mortgage or to give me a second mortgage I am telling you that this is a predatory business. Do not use rocket money, inc and don’t take sponsorships with them.

There were many exmorom Christians that were involved with the film and Cartoon. So, people like Sandra tanner who actually understood some of the hidden teachings of Mormonism that Missionaries don't learn or teach to investigators. As an LDS church historian, she learned much more than what she was officially taught. These came out in the late 70's early 80's. Mormons can only CYA these as they now claim only the highest level of the Celestial kingdom would get their own planet. So they can say NOW that's not true for all Mormons . But it was taught for all worthy Mormons in the past. Temple rituals have changed since the 70's and the audio tapes that I have from these same people who actually recorded the rituals of the Temple. BTW, same God: unique persons : NOT separate gods.

Yeah I feel you with this… this might be a long reply so feel free to move on haha! I’m a South Carolinian, but was lucky enough to have kind parents. I grew up never thinking anything about a diverse friend group considering, and not only had black friends, but black women matriarchs that I consider second mothers so this stuff is kind-blowing to me. I moved out west and met my now ex-Mormon wife in ID where she’s from. I’d done my research and knew what I was getting in to. For the most part at least… didn’t ever think that undercover, Utah and Idaho might be might be more racist than the south. Shocking as an outsider to see the attitude. And simply heartbreaking. I actually went to BYU as a non-member. I’m a biologist and they have a great ecology school. And it’s crazy cheap even as a non-member. Didn’t know about their mark of Cain, and the idea that when our brothers and sisters of color achieve righteousness they enter heaven as “white and delightsome”. The plot hole in all this is why would any of our folks of color choose to do that, and the logic gap some Mormons will tell you is that your spirit came down from heaven to make up for spirit world mistakes and get washed clean of your skin color… why then did the church actively beat down minorities, especially blacks in both scripture (which is guiding official church doctrine) and culture/ideology and for a long time deny them the temple?? Hhmmm 🤔. I had a good friend while there. She was a bit of a rebel, born deaf, and although beautiful in her own way, not the typical blonde and blue eyed Mormon girl. She finally found a man that doesn’t care about cultural stupidity. I’m pretty sure Gophe is from west Africa, can’t remember, Ivory Coast maybe? He speaks like 4 languages and is hella cultured, he was a business major and now successful business owner but is intelligent enough that we could have in depth discussions on next level wildlife and biology concepts. You can tell the moment you meet him he works hard and with purpose and has impeccable style, super handsome, and truly loves her. I.e. she married a good, successful, and kind man. Her Dad to this day has asked that he not come to Christmas and holidays like that. Her mom is involved but does it secretly from Alyssa’s dad. So the man was converted in Africa where he was the majority, moves to Utah as a covert to be in the motherland, has now been thrust in to a religion that at its core was formed in racism, and is devoted to his wife but gets the s**t out of him by the only “family” he has simply for loving and devoting himself to his wife… think about that. The same religion that said they could save him brought him into a world that teaches him that at the very start of this earth to now he is so shameful that his skin is dark to let people know he did wrong by god. Cccccrrraaaazzzzyyy.

There’s references to white skin vs black skin in the Bible as well (Job 30:30, Lamentations 4:7-8) and the context is important. Try actually talking to a dark-skinned active member of the church and you can hear it from them. The parts in the Book of Mormon you refer to are about a specific group of people. It was phrased as “a skin of blackness,” similar to the phrasing in Job and Lamentations, and in a similar sense- the implication was that overexposure to the sun darkened their skin. Other references to that particular group also says they wore clothes that exposed their skin to the sun. The darkening of the skin was a physical effect of their rejection of the teachings of their parents and a turn to wildness and abandon. It’s oversimplification to extrapolate from that the idea that all dark skin is bad.

Muslims can be whacky too but they are more stone age whacky than new age whacky. Islam is a lot more contradictory and "you can interpret it any way you want", and if it goes crazy it goes isolationist or violent. But mormonism is just straight-up nuts, that is, if you actually look at what's at its core tenents.

I moved to a small town on the other side of my state when I was in my 20's. I needed work and lodging, and I didn't have experience or more than a high-school education at the time. So I put an ad out offering to serve as a live-in nanny, housekeeper or elderly/disabled care-giver. The ad was answered shortly by an older man, who seemed alright at the time, and approved of my religious faithfulness. I would have my own room, board, a few hundred dollars a month, and Sundays off guaranteed. My first day there, he showed me that he was reading from the book of Mormon. Then he started making very inappropriate personal inquiries. He also seemed very physically independent and any time I asked if there was work I could do, he told me no, I should just take it easy for the afternoon. I waited until he went down for a nap, gathered my few belongings and went to his next door neighbor for help getting ahold of some friends I had in town. They picked me up as soon as they could, and while I was waiting for them the neighbor confessed that they always got a strange vibe off the guy. I count myself lucky that he had such nice neighbors.

I've never been Mormon, but I've studied it extensively from the outside. One particularly useful resource I found, a book called "One Nation Under Gods" by Richard Abanes, had an interesting side-by-side comparison between the ancient Egyptian illustration from the "Book of Breathings" that Joseph Smith purchased and reconstructed bits of (as it was missing several parts) seen at the upper left of the screen at 13:29 of this video, and another copy that was found fully intact. It's actually quite amusing seeing what Smith's "reconstruction" of the scene got wrong. Highlights include: - Putting a light-colored man's head on the dark colored standing figure, which was actually the jackal-headed Egyptian god Anubis - Adding a knife in that figure's hand - Drawing a bird's head on the bird-bodied spirit above the reclining figure's head (which was actually a man-headed, bird-bodied representation of the reclining figure's soul) - Depicting the reclining figure's clothing as covering him to the neck, when in fact it only covered him up to the waist. - Leaving the upper middle of the illustration, which was missing from Smith's copy, largely empty, other than the standing figure's knife-wielding hand. In the original illustration, that area is much busier, as there is a bird figure hovering above the torso of the reclining figure. The only part of that hovering bird that was still on Smith's copy was the tip of one of its wings, which Smith mistook for being the reclining figure's left hand, and thus drew the reclining figure as holding both hands up near its face, when in fact in the original drawing, the figure was only holding one hand near his face, and other left hand was down by his waist, holding his "bits"!

That isn’t to discount any or all types of events that are miraculous as there being God that would easily allow for miracles in nature.

@stylis6666 ай бұрын
That's just because you use logic. Put some fairy dust on it and it looks perfect. Satan is bad for wanting it all, and god is good because he righteous. It also teaches some more supremacy by blatantly allowing double standards. Same thing with the racism. When white people do something it's good because they're righteous, unless it's being attracted to a black person of course, and when a black person does the same thing they're arrogant and wicked. But as I understand it in the particular doctrine you're talking about Satan wants all the glory by forcing people to worship him, and thus taking away free will. And then god and Jesus are painted as righteous for allowing free will an earning the worship, which then gets undermined with all of the rest of the doctrine and you're still pretty much forced manipulatively and abusively, but at least you have a "choice". The difference is that Satan wants to take away free will in selfish arrogance, and god wants to earn his worship and allow free will for the betterment of all people, by allowing them to learn and grow as a person. Which isn't all too awful but, again, it also isn't at all what the rest of the doctrine teaches, but this part seems to do. And free will in religions triggers a lot of cognitive dissonance and is usually just used as an excuse to gaslight believers into believing they're crap if something bad happens, or in mormonism if you're born black, or in love with a black person, because they cannot be attractive, because the book or mormon says so, so your choices lead you down an evil path and you should be corrected and banish any loving thoughts for the black person not just from your mind but your entire being if you want to ever join the gods in their godliness. For instance Allysa pointed out she felt lucky to have been born in a righteous family but was taught it was because of her own actions in the spirit world. So if you're not born a mormon, you're just less good from the get go - aka supremacy. But if you're not mormon, that's because you didn't do good enough in the spirit world and you're just not on the same level as mormons. If you're born as a black baby with AIDS because of a reused needle for a malaria shot for your mom, well... Let's just say that mormons won't invest in medical care for that baby. And that baby is hell spawn and arrogant and selfish and it would take away your free will if it had a chance, and you are kind and fair. So it's not all about wanting it all, but wanting it all at the cost of our freedom of choice, which we know we have and is falsely equated to free will to gaslight people and to further supremacy and group cohesion. Every story that pretends to teach good morality is an abusive manipulation tactic to create more division between believers and non believers, and to push people into mindless following and scare people away from doubting, because the second you do you're already on thin ice and you could lose your family and community and everything. That is not unique in mormonism. Mormonism just adopted the successful strategy from literally every theistic religion/cult/sect in human history. They're all inherently abusive because they're not based on reality so they have to lie to make you believe and condition your brain to constantly lie to yourself and gaslight yourself, etc.. And I'm sorry this is so long, but I just can't leave it hanging at something seemingly wholesome that is inevitably abusive and harmful to billions of people and all communities allover the world for the thousands of years that we have existed and have made up stories to give some false comfort to people with existential questions and to manipulate them for a fake social cohesion of only a majority group that fits the criteria, at the cost of women, people of minorities, intelligence, integrity, well being, creativity.

I grew up LDS in good old Utah and saw this cartoon too and you did an amazing job breaking it all down. These were quite similar to my same thoughts, when I was old enough that I was able to, I dove headfirst into all the church's teachings and read everything. And I think it was about a year after that point (around 12-13) that I started distancing myself from the church. Missing young women's, stopped reading the scriptures, etc. I was such a deep believer that I wanted to understand all the teachings and beliefs and history but it's like the more you learn the less it makes sense and the worse it gets. The nail in the figurative coffin for me was learning about the teaching regarding race and gay rights. The way men vs. women are treated in the church is what began my frustration as I was a big tomboy who wasn't interested in having kids and they kind of teach that marriage and kids is all women are for. But it was learning about their teachings on race that finally ended it for me, after learning that I never attended anything Mormon again. I know most modern members don't believe in those old teachings about polygamy, racism, misogyny, etc anymore but I couldn't see past the history to justify staying.

As an Anglican (though I view denominations more as variations of worship style, rather than doctrinal differences, within the protestant part of the church), I don't disagree with calling Mormons 'Christian' because they're 'crazy', but because of key theological differences that completely changes the point of their faith, compared to those taught in Christianity.

I believe you are quite correct. Denominations are simply a demonstration of cultural experiences and preferences that may vary in form and expression, but which nonetheless center around a common core of recognized doctrine. One might think of the early Christian Churches as being "denominations" in this sense, as the Church in Rome was certainly very different in form than that in Jerusalem, or from their counterparts in Ephesus or Philippi.

I know that demons, Satan, Lucifer etc. played a more significant role in Christian folklore of the past, and in Bible adjacent fanfiction, like Dante's Inferno, but growing up Catholic, they didn't really play a major role in our belief. Other gods, demons, fallen angels only really showed up in three flavors: 1. They didn't. Our translation just doesn't mention things like Lucifer in certain places. 2. Adversaries/ Critics of Jesus/Moses/etc. mention them. As far as I was taught this did not mean that there were litteral other Devine beings out there besides or even below God, rather these stories are meant to demonstrate how Love, Compassion, Christianity, or in the old Testament Judaism can defeat paganism, superstition, etc. 3. "The unnamed Tempter". Again, not necessarily a real demon, but rather a literary tool to stand in for the abstract concept of the temptation to do the wrong thing, internal conflict or self doubt. Generally these stories were not taught to be taken literally, but rather stories that should demonstrate how love, compassion, and morals win against temptation, fear, and superstition. At least that's how it was for me growing up, but I am in no way a theologian, so this might not reflect official international catholic church dogma or any other catholics beliefs.
