Thank you for Sharing your story. I’m Polynesian (samoan and tongan), and a 5th generation Mormon. I came out right after my mission back in 95, but my father put me in reparative therapy immediately after. It was such a struggle for me between the church and my feelings as a gay man. i struggled so much that it landed me in the hospital for attempted suicide. I finally walked away from the church in the early 2000s and it was the best decision I ever made. I know you are finally happy and can make the best choices for you and your family.

[@kingsamoanOG]

Sole it's sad considering living in Samoa the Fafa community is just as equal as anyone else regardless of your personal choice. 1Luv Uso keep on pushing thru the barriers toko

As I grow in age and wisdom, I find myself more spiritual and less inclined to attach that spirituality to organized religion. I was raised Catholic and married my husband of 36 years in the church and we raised our children as Catholics as well. Our oldest daughter dated a young man in high school that was Mormon. One of the nicest young men I have ever met. They got engaged and the LDS Church shipped him off to England for a mission, apparently at his mothers request because our daughter refused to convert. 6 months into his mission he broke off the engagement because she still refused to convert. My husband had a hard time with this. On one of his hiking trips he prayed and that night in his dreams God spoke to him basically telling him not to question how people come to him but be thankful that so many do come to him in their own way. I also was praying hard for our daughter and also had a dream. God took my hand and circled my palm with his finger and said to me, “ I am here”, then he took his finger and ran it along each of my fingers from my palm to the finger tip and said, “People come to me in many forms whether they be Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Islam and even those who think they don’t believe. They all come to me, love them all as I do.” That pretty much changed my life and word view. It’s really not about doctrine and dogma, It’s about how you treat others, no matter who they are and to me it’s all about love. I still pray to God, Jesus and Mother Mary, because that is where my comfort zone of spirituality lies.

[@olivialaws8975]

As a member of the church, I’m so sorry if people ever told you that you would not make it back home just because you decided to leave. I’m sorry that you felt that way. I know in my heart that heavenly father loves all of his children equally and wants them all home. No matter the religion, race, sexual identity, etc. Jesus atone for everyone of heavenly father’s children so that we can make it back home. I hope you find peace and happiness on your journey and I wanted to thank you for not bashing the LDS church.

[@KatKamalani]

Thank you😭😭😭

I just compared lenny Kravitz to jesus did I sin😂😂😂

[@hannahmcmannis3021]

This hit home. My family on both sides are LDS. My parents experienced the same questioning of faith that you had. They decided to leave the church right before my 8th birthday so I didn’t get baptized. The back lash, rejection and judgment we all faced was hard. I didn’t understand at the time because I was so young. I’m 31 now and we still have issues with family not liking we left. I had friends get on my case in school about how I’m going to be lost and I need to come back to the one true church. I still have the church sending me things and treating me like I’m in their ward even though I haven’t been in their church in several years. The hoops I’d have to jump is insane to get me off of their list. I am so happy you have loving parents who supported you with your decision. Because my parents left and their eyes were open like yours, I was able to find my own path with religion and have the most amazing relationship with God and Jesus. We love you! Thanks again for a great podcast

[@haleyleal23]

Kat, I cannot tell you enough how proud I am of you! I mean, you've known my opinion on LDS and I can attest to the stress it put you through!! I've learned that I fit best under the "label" of a non-denomination Christian, but I also don't agree with having a label perse, I believe in God and Jesus 100% and make sure to always show and give love, grace and kindness to others. Love most importantly. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for you, to make that decision tho. I literally had tears in my eyes and chills throughout my body watching this. Just because I know how much pressure and stress, guilt, all of that, being apart of the church, did to you. And when you said you finally feel free and closer to God now, I felt that in my soul. I'm very spiritual as well, which is frowned upon in a lot of Christian denominations but it gives me peace and it too, has opened my eyes even more to be closer with God and within my own soul. I'm just very happy you found that for yourself and family. I can 100%, without a doubt, tell you that you will be with your family and loved ones forever up in heaven. God does test our faith but in other ways, not by if we drink coffee or not 😉 lol You know I'm coming for you for giving me so much crap for drinking coffee when we were younger! Lol jk jk but gosh, I remember even me bringing a coffee maker over, you made me hide it when I stayed over 😂😂 awww it seems so silly now but it did truly stress you out and I apologize for putting you through that. I am just so happy for you that get to experience that free feeling. Love you Kat 🥰❤ Sooo does this mean....if I ever come back to Utah, we can actually enjoy a cup of coffee together?? 😂😉😘😂

Thank you so much 🫶🏼💓💓

[@heathachic]

I’m struggling with this. I was born and raised in the church. My husband wasn’t active AT ALL when we were married and hadn’t been since he was a child. 2 years into our marriage, we were sealed. Full tithe payers, he quit drinking, never missed church… 3 years ago he came home from work and said I’m done with the church, we aren’t paying tithing and I don’t want the kids going anymore. I was devastated!! We haven’t been back since then. Only of my kids has been baptized. My father passed 17 years ago and I have so much guilt about everything, I’m terrified that I’ll never see him again because I’m not active. I so conflicted because I KNOW I’m a good person and worthy of heaven. I deserve to be with my family forever and it sickens me to think that we’re being taught that if we don’t do A, B, and C that we’ll never be with our families in the afterlife. So. Much. Guilt. 😢

[@anonelle28]

I loved this 💕 I myself was part of high control Christian church very similar to the LDS church (even has a heavenly mother, not Mary) & can relate to everything you spoke on. Hearing you share your journey makes me feel seen, comforted, & at peace. Reminds me of how much I’ve healed & that I’m not alone in this journey.

[@TNT_dynamight]

I don’t know much of anything about Mormonism, I only found people of the religion after YT got popular. I was raised catholic, a lot of the same beliefs live in that religion and when I was in school I never related to it, but as I got older I did question allllll the same things you did. I’ve since moved on entirely and am forming my own beliefs. Thanks for sharing 💓

[@zackfrancisco5202]

Proud of you for thinking through issues and making your own decision instead of listening to “authority”. Your salvation has nothing to do with your role in the church or with what you do (Romans 11:6). It has everything to do with Jesus and what he did for you on the cross. He took our place and our sin so that we could be called sons and daughters of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). Trust in Him and Him alone. Praying for you!

[@SowingSeedsWithChristy]

I'm happy for you. We all have the right, or should have, to decide what governs our choices. It does take courage and strength to follow our own path, and to break away from mindless traditions, but it's worth it to be liberated from following certain teachings blindly without question. You just changed the trajectory of your entire family, perhaps for generations to come. Congratulations! 🎉 God loves us unconditionally, and I'm glad you came to that conclusion. THAT IS FAITH. Best!

[@KatKamalani]

Yes 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

A wise ecumenical minister/psychologist/counselor/therapist(put all four, because he was all four to me), once told me God created the Bible, man created religions. That was powerful for me. Even in non-denominational churches there can be "not the right fit". Prayer helped so much. At times over the years, I learned, worshipped, loved my fellow parishioners. Took from column a, b, c, d, etc. I still have not found my forever home church, but have grown so much along the way. Learning along my spiritual journey with God, my walk with God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, that is most important. I can have fellowship with us 4 anytime, anywhere, always. That's always enough! ❤

[@jill7717]

Wow…..never thought of it like that…..God created the Bible, man created religions…. Thank you for sharing, and I’ve I may ask you, even it is a very personal question. Is it even possible to be part of 1 church for your whole life?

[@sherbetstraw]

Great comment! And fantastic open and honest video from Kat. Kat I really respect your vulnerability and your amazing heart. This might be the last thing you want to do but maybe you should read the Bible and then reassess. LDS seems to have made stuff up that’s not in the Bible. I don’t believe they are Christians at all. I am a Christian and once you believe (and accept for yourself) Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins you don’t need to do ANYTHING ELSE. It’s the only religion which is not ‘works’ based. You can rest in God’s love and there is REAL PEACE.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

I struggle with this too, I was raised Catholic but I struggle with some of the teachings that just don’t “feel” right to me as well as some of the things I’ve experienced & seen throughout the years, like a priest that was… physically inappropriate… with me when I was young, who I reported and had the church tell me I wasn’t the first to report him (huh?! Why’s he still there then?) only to have them send him to a “retirement home” for priests… AFTER being allowed to continue to be around children at the church, Sunday school AND k-7 school attached to our church for around 6 months after I reported him. They SHOULD have called the police… heck, so should I, but I was dumb and trusted them to handle it and there’s the whole “don’t shame the church and your family” thing. The priest I had reported him to was someone who had been in my life since I was born… I trusted him to handle it… I don’t think he would have even done as much as he did in getting him out had it been another kid, I know he wouldn’t have, there were multiple kids before me and he didn’t do anything to remove the priest for them, he only fought to remove him because it was me and my family. As well as churches guilting people who are struggling into tithing even though the church is wealthy and luxurious. I also struggle as a Hawaiian who had many negative things occur to my people at the hands of missionaries who shamed us for our beliefs and had a hand in overthrowing our monarchs AND with my people who look down on Polynesians who are Christian rather than believing in the “old gods”. So yeah… I relate. The guilt is real, the confusion is real.

[@vivien2593]

[@julianroccopesa3491]

Don't torture yourself with this, You did what was right. Do not be confused with taking the steps to follow through with what is to be respected in that of right and wrong. If you torture yourself with this you're giving the church the power, this rotten priest, your power! The guilt you feel it's because that's how the churches teach people to feel and use God to instill that torture. I assure you, you are the true love of God for taking the steps to protect even one child and I pray for your healing and peace and love of who you are within. God is not a child molester! The churches would have you believing otherwise. My Dear Friend, in your pain, I would like you to put yourself in the same position of a young child that has been molested, what would you say to that beautiful, innocent young child to free their mental and emotional, physical pain ? Would you hold them in your arms with such love to take away their pain and tormenting memories so that they never feel such pain again ? So that they can live a great life filled with love for God instead of fear and disgust forever tormenting them ? Of course you would cry for, with them to be free of such horror and tell them what was done to them is wrong, free them from pain to embrace a courageous inspiring life journey. That child is a warrior and they are beautiful and they are such incredible pure Love, If you agree with all I just said then look in the mirror, speak to your inner child, you did nothing wrong and everything right, free yourself of this horror, do not be a prisoner to the ugly ignorance of man any longer. You are now free and you are a warrior a courageous, beautiful human being and "You" are so deeply loved by God, by all life, Know this! Embrace that. God is good and loves you deeply. God wants you to live joyful and happy with life in every moment of your being. Choose to live, "You" with God as your best friend, as your brother, sister, father, mother, God is Love, God created you in his, image which is, Love. You have free will, and in loving who you are, you give the greatest gift to God. That My Friend is "You". 💯✌️🙏❤️🕯️🎈🌻😊

[@KatKamalani]

It is a hard journey!!

[@javiermontoya3827]

As a Catholic layperson, I am so sorry this happened to you. I can't imagine the hurt and lack of trust you have towards the Catholic church. Sadly, this is a huge problem for the church. I think of the parable of the seed when the seed fell on the ground and the birds came and pecked and ate the seed. The seed is the word of God, and the bird is violence and abuse who comes to steal your faith, peace, love, innocence, and security. Don't let Satan win. Stay True to the faith to the end. I love you brother. In Jesus's Name. Remember, God test us every day. Sometimes I pass and sometimes I fail. But, I always repent and seek reconciliation. I Trust In Jesus Christ only. I trust no man or woman. Not even myself. Only Jesus. God Bless you all.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

@@javiermontoya3827 I’m a woman 🙂, not a man. Nothing could cause me to stray from our Lord, it’s just that the God that I know in my heart is different from the God in the Bible, and the churches of man are no longer fit to represent our Lord and Savior, THEY have invited evil into the church, into the Vatican, into their lives, into their hearts and into their beds… if we’re honest, they did so a LONG time ago. The things that Christian’s do in the name of God or while supposedly doing Gods work or while calling themselves Christians… are unholy. Genocides, wars, shaming indigenous beliefs so they can convert them, participating in settler colonialism, participating in theft of indigenous lands, aiding illegal overthrows, abusing young children, greedily guilting people into tithing who are struggling to get by even though the church is ridiculously wealthy itself and not doing enough to help people with their wealth etc etc. Rationally, people have to understand that the Bible has been rewritten over the years by men who sought to use it to control the narrative THEY wanted enforced, a narrative that made it possible to control people, and now we’re seeing the result of that evil, people are turning away from the church and subsequently away from God as well. They need to take responsibility and accountability or Christianity will soon no longer exist and everyone will be sheep amongst the wolves 🐺👿.

[@Pollyanna4123]

Thank you for this video. I’ve been going through this same thing and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through mentally. Finding balance in my relationships while being true to myself has been such a hard thing to find. I feel the same way you do, I would never bash on what another person believes because I believe in being kind, but it’s also hard for me to find a community that isn’t hateful but feels the same ways I do regarding the subject. The journey is a struggle, but I hope and pray every day that it will get better in time. 💗

Being Samoan and being raised by family in Utah, you're pretty much forced to do as you're told. I walked away from the religion as a young teenager and Ive never looked back. Utah mormons are far more judgemental and discriminate more than any others I've met all around the world.

Interesting take on your experience. I am a faithful Catholic I have been very fortunate to have a solid faith life and no confusion about what it teaches.

[@32Theresa]

Genuine question, I hope this doesn’t come off the wrong way. I was raised Catholic & when I found out about how they treated native people, Latinos w/ missionaries & forcing them to join Catholicism or move or die… forcing them to build the Spanish style churches there… it made me sick to my stomach to learn this. How do you think about this history? I’d love to read your thoughts. Have a good one

[@Nonofurbzness]

@@32Theresa I think that there is good and bad in every human being. The Freemasons founded this country and they committed many atrocities towards Catholics from every country that came here, it is still happening today. Im sure you know how it was the Catholic Church that founded charity and education and hospitals. Those places were run by nuns who took care of the poor and the rich those who were in need etc. Have you ever heard of the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City? The Aztecs and Mayans were sacrificing humans for the “gods” many government officials were abusing the Indian population and the priests and bishops wrote to the government in Spain for help in ending the abuse however it wasn’t until the Miracle of The apparition of Guadalupe did the Aztecs stop the human sacrifice and convert. There are many examples of human failure through out history - even St. Peter denied Christ 3 times. Humans are flawed but not irredeemable.

[@TP-om8of]

@@32TheresaSounds like you need to learn more about history.

[@YoAng]

Incredibly interesting topic, I've stepped away from my religion also. I recognize that many of our family finds solace in it but for me there were too many unanswered questions and was also told to 'have faith'. I find that my husband and I are more 'spiritual' instead and we live our lives as such.

I have had a similar journey. And found myself coming to the same conclusions as you. It would’ve been much easier to stay and just go through the motions. I don’t believe that’s what happened. That Heavenly Father brought us here to live guilt & shame. We are to learn, grow, develop relationships, learn how to love & to have JOY! And if there’s a heavenly father, doesn’t it just makes sense that there’s a heavenly mother too? God bless you and your family Kat.

[@michaelmadsen-yq5kw]

Kat, I lived in Hawaii for 55 years and I love the people of Hawaii. I am a born again Christian and went to church at Calvary Chapel Honolulu, when I lived there with my Hawaiian wife. I know the difference between LDS and Christianity, and that is the Bible vs the BOM. You see, Joseph Smith was an open critic of the Christian prophets, who were, in fact, prophets of God. Smith, then took it upon himself to become a prophet. The Bible is the Word of God and is proven so by thousands of prophesies that have ALL come to pass. It is the Truth, everything besides the Word is false. So, discard the BOM, read the Bible and you will come to know God (Jesus, that ascended to heaven, after his death of the cross). He never left heaven and did not go to the Americas. God, who created all the world from nothing said "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and walked among us. The Word was before anything else, no other celestial beings ever existed. Read Leviticus 18:22 as well as Romans 1 and 2. This is the Word of God and it is our instruction book for life. If God says that which is sin..it is sin. It is not the peoples judgement, but God's. God created no accidents Kat and He made nothing that is not good. Homosexuality is a choice as God is perfect and there is no sin in Him. I love everyone, but I am flawed. I talk to LDS and homosexuals and am open and honest as I can be in warning them of hell. If you loved somebody and knew for certain that hell existed, would you tell them? I certainly would. Thanks for reading this long novel. Love In Christ Jesus

[@melanil9197]

I admire how respectful you express yourself about religion. As a former PK ( preachers kid ) the expectation is overwhelming , especially being adopted in Hawaii at 4months old from a Caucasian family 53 years ago. My views of religion is not lateral to my family’s beliefs, hence, I am the black sheep of the family. God loves his children, he loves everyone, whether you are short, tall, pretty much you hit all the key points on this topic. Thank you so much for this content!! 😊 BTW - I found my birth mother a few years ago and she and my adopted mother live in the same state. Crazy right?!? She ( birth mother) retired being a flight attendant as well!

[@michaelmadsen-yq5kw]

You are a preacher's kid right? Love everyone, correct? Would you tell a homosexual that according to the Bible, there is a horrible place called hell where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth for all eternity? Or, would you tell that homosexual that you love them, even though you know his demise was hellfire due to his sin? That isn't love, that is hate. Much Aloha

​@@KatKamalani It is good that you covered this subject.

[@julianroccopesa3491]

❤❤❤ this,Ty Kat you are so right on and I am grateful for your words. You are Awakening to your truth and that is a courageous and powerful beginning of a new grown up journey. I say grown up journey bc, as young children we are taught the fear of God. As children we are terrified to move forward and experience life , more so bc all the other people who are or once were children have been trapped and trained to ridicule judging anything different. I am amazed at the fact that in life everyone insist there is only man and woman, when in fact there are babies physically born with two sexes and it is very common. You also have Hermaphrodites, and you also have babies born intersex which if anyone educates themselves will understand is someone born with bits and pieces of both sexes. We are taught through ORGANIZED Religion God is jealous and angry, instilling fear, especially in children n adults. You are a sinner and you will be judged and thrown into the fire pits of hell for all eternity! How does anyone love that?? That is scary as hell ! Pretty damn narcissistic! And then forced to love this?? God is jealous and is going to judge me and burn me in a fire of hell because I am experiencing life and learning how to live with love in my heart for all life? Good and bad exists in our life to teach us. We cannot have one without the other and exist, it is the very essence of our growth. Through this we embrace all life with love. God created all of us and we are all beautiful and we are "Love". We are all created in God's image. God is not he or she, God is love and so are we all. Each point you bring up is valid, so hold your ground and keep grounded. Kat keep your mind with these words, it is not your business what other people think of you. Teach your beautiful children, how beautiful they are, their hearts, their minds, their bodies etc. And that everyone has different journeys and experiences that teach them above all love, above all love within. When we all learn to love who we are within, self love then and only then are we connected and embrace all life with love , then and only then are we connected to God. God is all love, all life has ever right to live as they please heterosexual, gay we are all beautiful and we are "One Love". ✌️🙏❤️🕯️🎈🌻😊

Was in for 21 years been out for 6 now, I decided to step away from all religion and I only believe in the Bible and the almighty now, it could’ve went south so quick after leaving and I was so close to just being atheist but the hate that was being spewed from those online groups I became apart of after leaving, made me realize that there’s better than that and I knew it, with everything in me that if I turned away from YAH (God) that I was turning and moving toward a life that was going to be void of true joy and love. I hope whatever it is that you have decided for you and your family that you all find happiness, love and joy, your family deserves nothing less of that! ❤

It’s good that you didn’t bash the Mormon church. That’s God’s job. He will change people and their hearts one by one just as he did yours. Jesus was born on earth to live as human. He knew he would die for our sins hours and mine. All Jesus asks is that you love him with all your heart. And allow him into your God shape hole.

Jesus and his plan is bigger I pray you find peace and love

I'm 43 and at times I still fear going to hell because I'm not sure if Jesus is the only way and if God is only male. God created me with a skeptical mind. How can he then allow me to suffer for eternity in hell because I can't believe in the Bible as interested by Christianity? I pray for God to show me the truth about him/herself. I still have trouble believing that everyone who doesn't believe Jesus died for their sins goes to hell. Christians often say that those who don't believe in Jesus dying for their sins wants to sin or they aren't seeking Jesus sincerely. That's not true! I honor and love God for creating me. I don't blame God for my hard life of suffering. I don't want to sin. I just can't believe that a loving parent can would allow me to suffer an eternal torment for me supposedly choosing not to believe.

That's where the problem is. Remember, Satan will come as an angel of light to destroy you

BUT YOURE ABSOLUTELY 💯 CORRECT ABOUT EVERYTHING. GOD WILL MEASURE YOUR GOOD AND BAD DEEDS AND DECIDE WHERE YOU END UP. THERES NO FREAKING UNDERWEAR IN THIS WORLD THAT YOU MUST HAVE IN ORDER TO GO TO HEAVEN. TRUST ME YOULL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN WITHOUT THOSE UNDIES.

Hey I pray you read this and many others. I stubbled upon your channel from following the horrible things going on with the Maui fires. However, I applauded you for thinking outside of what you have been raised on religion. I am a believer in Jesus because of the Bible not because of man's thoughts and opinions. I encourage you to read the KJV Bible to find the truth of Jesus. Confusion comes from man and not God. The Bible teaches that Christ came and died for the sins of the world so that whosoever would believe on him would have eternal life. Man comes in corrupts for money and the praise of men. Only Jesus deserves all the praise and glory, who was God in the flesh. Much prayer for you and your family and the people of Hawaii.

You should do whatever you want!

100% agree!!

Which religion was she in

[@TheStones86]

Mormonism or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

[@LayRae13]

Thank you for sharing 🫶🏽 everyone can have their own opinions & that’s the beautiful thing about this world! I think it’s a very scary thing to indoctrinate fear into young children, that they have to abide by a certain set of rules or else your soul will rot in darkness or fiery pits of hell.. idk how that’s “pure love”

[@KatKamalani]

Yes!

[@tatyanafavors8725]

Ngl this low key sounds like a cult

[@yeffryarias5865]

Many of your argument, or question is too easy to answer. The thing you father, or your followed a religion, and not the Bible. The Bible, give all the answer to all that argument. I’m Christian ( follower of Jesus) and I don’t believe and religion either. But the Bible, and science tell you that people don’t born gay, there many thing that can happen ( scientists) but I would love to sit with somebody like you, and answer all that question. God bless you, and your family.

[@timhazeltine3256]

Science does not align with your faith beliefs about sexual orientation
