  1. You really can't take positive or negative biases into your head. Because you and I both know that's not going to get you where you need to go. Also this may be anecdotal, But I've never seen someone's live that after 10 years of leaving the church I would want to trade places with. And I've known many. Good luck and God bless.

  2.  @drkenny7928  It sounds like you have a bias against religion, Which is understandable. That is why Joseph Smith went to pray which religion to join is because all he saw was people trying to get him to join their church. But the lie that Johnny says at that time stamp is blatant and he knows more people saw the gold plates. You should ask yourself why are people lying in religion or outside of religion.

  3. Me as well and the fact that Jonnny lied @10:30 doesn't want me to join his club.

  4. Jesse, I always say if they don't like the one master (Jesus) they really won't like the other. Come back, brother! Christ is waiting with open arms. I'm sorry your family has not been as loving as you feel they could. But Jesus Christ and his restored gospel have the power to heal.

  5. You know Johnny lies bold face @10:30 in this video right?

  6. Why does Johnny lie @10:30 He knows others saw the plates? Why Lie Johnny? I like your stuff I want to be able to trust your content. But Lying doesn't help.

  7. 5,052,846 views Well, I guess they sort of care. I think Segan said it well There are either a lot of aliens or no aliens and both should terrify you.

  8.  @XxfieryfirexX  That's all I got. He's just another Millennial that struggles. I'm just saying you should read the book, to see why people leave or stay.

  9. No, it doesn't Jonny didn't like the church because his heart hardened. He didn't talk about the doctrine and people at all, I don' know how you think you've learned anything about what we believe from this. It's okay to think it's BS, but not if you have zero info.

  10.  @sumomaster5585  Well said. It should read: "I’m a believer of Jesus Christ and my brother is a follower of Jesus Christ. We never discuss our beliefs because we don’t want to argue"

  11. Dave, I love it too! I"m so grateful for Jesus Christ!
    3
  12.  @freshmint007  He also seems genuine to me. I'm not questioning him motivation. I'm saying his perceived "pressure" to do good was internal and not from Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said "take my yoke" If he was relying on Jesus Christ he would find great joy in following him. I have. No offense. I'm just letting people know they should see for themselves and not take someone else's word for it. If their is a God and Good then we should be looking for it. Try reading the book of Mormon for yourself. Good luck

  13.  @MichaelOfHerndon  Yeah it is. So many are in a freefall right now. the Church of Jesus Christ is one of the few that isn't loosing nearly as many. Average age is 34 vrs 52 in other us denominations.

  14. he doesn't care he's willing to lie @10:30

  15. Yours is a story Millennials need to hear. They don't know how bad the other master is. You've seen both masters and know who is the true deceiver. Thank you for sharing this!

  16. Isn't this what the restored gospel of Jesus Christ teaches? That we're judged with the light we have. Good luck with your journeys as well.

  17. I stayed I love the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints.

  18. It is sad that he thought he was condemned verse sin being condemned. He forgot about good and nice it feels to follow the example of Jesus Christ and what that will do for his kids and grandkids. The restored Gospel of Jesus Christ really is the only way to have lasting peace in this life.
    3
  19. @10:30 isn't tasteful its a lie. He bold face lies.

  20. I"m 42 and still love the restored gospel of Jesus Christ it has made all the difference in my life. Hold to the rod.

  21. Yeah I like Johnny's stuff too, and the video is close on some points and he's defiantly take the viewpoint from the 1837 book Mormonism unveiled (which has been proven to be garbage when it comes to facts). But I get why it's so hard for people to keep faith in Jesus Christ.
    2
  22. I would read the BOM for myself If I where you.
    2
  23. Meh. your neighbors would be a source of understanding them. They are al unique people and if you're in SLC only 1/5 homes is active LDS
    2
  24. I Totally agree. It's so weird to have people say they feel oppressed because they are asked to do good.
    2
  25. I'm happily "deceived" by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  26.  @blazestar4747  Yeah the friend thing can be hard. Sorry man if we went to the same high school :) But I'm LDS and I didn't very many friends in HS anyways.

  27. Alma Thanks for sharing.

  28.  @flipperdip4009  But Johnny didn't say at first. He completely represents that no one was allowed to see them ever.
    2
  29.  @michaeldenova4562  Amen. I've given money to other groups. about 50 cents on the $ goes to charity, and the rest goes to advertising and admin wages. The church's admin wages are probably about $20-50m and I use all the products from the Admin, A temple cost about $75m to build if it's full size. (these are just my estimates as an accountant). So the rest is going to all the things you mentioned plus savings and that's in the hundreds of millions. It's a big group and when people say they have a lot of cash, they do but it takes a lot of cash to do good works and they do it in Grade A Fassion IMHO
    2
  30.  @henochparks  As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. (not knowing Johnny from Adam) I could see how your statement is 100% accurate. Don't know his heart, but very well could be the lack of a relationships with Jesus Christ. Also thanks for standing up for freedom of religion, such a great thing your grandpa did. And thanks for offering your life. Great love!
    2
  31. Freedom of religion/thought etc is so huge and it's under attach everywhere more than in Joseph's time. Here is a quote from him. Joseph Smith (1843): "I am just as ready to die in defending the rights of a Presbyterian, a Baptist, or a good man of any other denomination" And you could add any world view. Freedom is needed now more than ever.
    2
  32.  @henochparks  thank you
    2
  33. So true
    2
  34.  @dire67  like where a group of people can meet and talk about how they ca help others, and better themselves while they do it? Sounds like you just invited the church of Jesus Chris of latter day saints 😉....
    2
  35. Make sure you take in all the info. Confirmation bias is a real thing.
    2
  36.  @eliascastro1875  agreed eye witnesses are always the most credible

  37. "The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and call things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator." Could not agree more. Also, the very fact that we have free will. Well said, Jack!
    2
  38. I watched this again and realized people like Johnny have who feel restricted by "right" and "wrong" have never been in a place of misery from the consequences of doing wrong over and over again. I'm so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ that has saved me from the pain and agony of sin!
    2
  39. So Glad to have you back, I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
    2
  40. Yeah, I do. He's missing the point of the plan, forgetting that we are here to learn to freely choose good and grow. Growing is hard but not growing sounds so bad, like fire and brimstone.
    2
  41. What about Jesus and the book of mormon? The works of Christ in the BOM have changed my life.
    2
  42. Alien/Angel Potato/Potata It's all the same.
    2
  43. As many a convert can tell you (as can anyone who’s ever been in darkness for any length of time) if you think obeying God’s commandments is exhausting, try living without them. Obedience is hard but profitable. Disobedience is hard & relentlessly empty

  44. Yvonne. Good luck with your journey. Reading the Book of Mormon increased my faith in Jesus Christ daily, and has blessed my life.

  45.  @philbrooks5979  You may be thinking of another religion you're talking to members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter saiints... according to a pew research study they read The Bible and understand it more than any other Christian denomination. Of course members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints are very familiar with the scripture you're referring to in the book of revelations. There is also a scripture in the book of Deuteronomy that says the same thing. For those familiar with the compilation of The Bible they would understand that both those verses refer to the books of Deuteronomy and revelations individually. John himself the author of revelations wrote books after he wrote revelations including 1st John. The really nice part about this subject is that anybody who is willing to study ponder and ask God Can find out if The Bible and what it teaches is is of God and also can find out if the book of mormon and what it teaches is of God. For example when Paul 1st visited the Greeks, He didn't have The Bible as the the American pentecostals have it today. He had his testimony of Jesus Christ and people were touched in their hearts by the spirit of God of his testimony.
    2
  46. Look at the view count and comments. Maybe ask "why do people care". Learning comes from the right questions.
    2
  47. Yep @10:30 is a full lie by Johnny
    2
  48. Yeah but some people say it's not. If only their was a way someone could know for themselves?
    2
  49.  @rick-dl1qz  Yeah you're gonna find People like me and Jeff on both sides. I love the church Of Jesus Christ Jeff hates the church. The point of this life is for us to learn to freely choose good over evil. Good luck with your research!
    2
  50. Why? you should just ask your family, no mystery is required. "hey sally why do you do x? " See easy.
    2
  51.  @Ragdollcatlover  That's a bunch of bull or your family is crazy. We have 72000 missionaries out right now trying to talk about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Of course we're allowed to talk about it we're praying the world will listen.
    2
  52. What is the meaning of life? Why did God create the earth and us? I think I would be interested to hear the responses to those questions from an Islamic perspective. Do you know how the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints would answer those questions?
    2
  53. I'm a member, he's over stating
    2
  54. I think that is happening a lot in the US post covid. I would recommend reading the book of Mormon another testament of JESUS CHRIST and not taking anyone else's word for it.
    2
  55. Yeah he did. Time to put a flag out
    2
  56. Do you find it weird that you're thinking about tank tops as you consider the meaning of life? Seems a bit backward to me. I think anything I do would hang on the meaning and purpose of life, and all my actions/behavior would flow from that.
    2
  57. What about the Book of Mormon do you still read it?
    2
  58. Love the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. I'm reasonably smart and have the same education or more than Johnny. I love the book of Mormon, and it's foundation and the foundation of this church are not as black and white as he paints it. Read and do your own research rather than take the points of view of both positive or negative bias.
    2
  59. Let it soak for a while, you may come around and also realize the more you know the more you know there is you don't know. Best!

  62. Great point. I wish more kids that don't know the trappings out there could hear this.
    2
  63. Yes this is happening all over the US. I'm a member of the church and love it and it's founder Jesus Christ.

  64.  @philbrooks5979  Tell me you've never read the book of mormon without telling me you've never read the book of mormon
    2
  65.  @philbrooks5979  heresy again what Christ? It references Christ 3000+ times mor than 3x the nt. If you had read it and didn't believe it, that would be more noble than lying that you had
    2
  66.  @philbrooks5979  why 🤦‍♂️ Never ceases to amaze what people will pass along and claim with so little information
    2
  67.  @philbrooks5979  facts 🤣🤣🤣 check what you said and the location of the book. You are either ignorant or lying.
    2
  68. I think this is why this video is so popular, it's our own story. However, Jonny is not typical of members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. He just seemed to go through the motions and it sounds like his parents never taught him why. The why is the most important part. Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people or vice versa, and why did God create the earth? We should never be motivated by shame, but by love and knowledge and Education are key to that. The more we know and the more we know about God the more we can Love. I would ask any honest in heart to read the Book of Mormon. It has changed my life for the better.
    2
  69. That's weird because the data shows that the more educated members are the more they half faith in Jesus and his restored gospel. "it's not what people don't know know that scares me but it's what they do know is wrong" Good luck to you in your journey of growth.

  70.  @harrybond007  O be wise; what can I say more?”—Jacob 6:12. Harry, Sounds like you've got a personal problem? Is your pastor worried about his pocket book? Maybe saying things he has no Idea of what he's talking about? Just saying what your' saying about knowledge and sense doesn't match the data. Good luck to you in quest.
    1
  71.  @harrybond007  Commenting is great... the exchange of ideas is what has made this society what it is. Option one is some bs may not be bs and you should investigate Option two is we are a random accident and don't have free will Both Option should terrify you.

  72.  @noone2262  It's very different Have you read the Book of Mormon? First read it and then you can speak to it.

  73.  @flightlessbirdwithwings  Hopefully you therapy helps. If you include Jesus Christ in it it will work even better, but that's just someone on the internet saying. It's up to you to figure out. Best of luck to you.

  74. Agreed

  79.  @lowkeyais7314  :) But why is your relationship with your parents such that you can't talk to them about faith and the purpose of life? How did we get to be here? Are they not cool with having these kinds of conversations or are you not cool with it?
    1
  80.  @lowkeyais7314  Sorry no, I don't know I have a big mouth :) But --they must not be very good parents if you can't talk to them. OR --you feel like you are in the wrong and they are in the right and you feel like talking to them would make that clearer and you would feel stupid OR -they are super low IQ and won't understand OR -you have a super low IQ and don't know what you're doing. OR -what did I miss? Not talking to people is weird, it is a guaranteed way to get dumber and separate societies. Sometimes the people that seem to have the least to offer have something to teach. Just saying.

  81.  @johnb5254  You forgot to mention the horns

  82.  @johnb5254  no that they have horns on their heads.

  83.  @katietoo7754  you can still go to what makes them tick, their beliefs. Beliefs drive behavior. What drives their beliefs is the book of Mormon. What brought you to the great state? And have you seen anyone with horns yet? Ask someone online if in person is to much. You can start here Ask me anything.

  84. So it your view how did statin sneek in the garden and mess everything up?

  85. Try reading the book of mormon it may help clarify and open your mind to some things that are not found in just the protestant understanding of Jesus Christ.
    1
  86.  @bactrosaurus  I agree it would be hard to find purpose without God. Let me ask you some questions that may help with your path. Do you think you have free will? If so that means you have power over the molecules in your body. How did you get this free will? Now, do you think murder is wrong? If so why? If you feel it and know it in your heart that is what members of the church of Jesus christ call the light of Christ. Everyone on earth has it. Now think about your free will and the process you came to know that murder is wrong. Use that free will and process to read the book of Mormon and see for yourself, with just your free will and God. Good luck.

  87. Agreed! Love is the motivation.

  89. I stopped believing in evolution as the origin of species as I got older. It needs to go back into the theory box. Here is the problem people can't disassociate it from faith. People have to believe in evolution. Scintifcly we have other ideas that seem more plausible. No faith here, but

  90. You should pray about what they are saying :) Best of luck!
    1
  91. D the fact that you asking is a big step. Did you read how God spoke to Oliver C? I would ask you some questions. - Do you have Free will? -Do you think murder is wrong? If you can figure out these two questions and how you get there. You should be able to figure out if the book of Mormon is true. Does that help? Or have you heard that before?

  92.  @garys.2291  I would say both. We need to use all our powers to know the truth. I know the sky is "blue" (or reflecting blue light) and beautiful because of Facts and feelings external and internal. It takes years to get that "knowledge" and it is so limited. Do I know what blue is? No, Do I know what Light is and why it acts like a particle or a wave, or is some sort of cosmic speed limit no. So lots of room to go. But I feel like it know it's beautiful more than I know what it is.

  93. Lynn is a liar. She said she was a member for 20 years but didn't know she needed Jesus. The chruch of Jesus Christ is the only US church right now that is not in a freefall. I would concider doing the research for yourself and not from people that are willing to lie. Why lie about it?

  94. Agreed.

  95.  @lcfflc3887  I always say if they don't like one master (jesus) the for sure won't like the other (satan) Yeah the world is trying hard to mess people up.

  96. I agree it sounds like he never had a relationship with Jesus Christ which is uncommon in the church of Jesus Christ.

  97.  @twt000  This cuts both ways. And yes Evolution as the theory of creationism is junk, Darwin knew nothing of cellular biology. If you're you know nothing about cellular biology go as someone that does. Good luck.

  98. If there is no good or evil then you are just a chemical reaction of the atoms in your body and your life is a meaningless set chain of reactions. If their is a good or bad then there is something else. Both options should terrify you.

  100. I'm sorry! I would suggest reading the book of Mormon. It is filled with the love of Christ.

  101. I find that a lot of Muslim people comment on this, why is that? I think a lot of Christians, including those that believed Joseph smith to be a prophet, would say that Mohamad was a murderer and an invader, so how do we know the truth?
    1
  102.  @studyielts3577  Thanks for your response. I'm sure you can see that people would have different opinions then you do about but what you're saying some people think The Bible has been around for a long time. Let me ask a question another way Pretend you lived in a place next to Muhammad and someone comes to you and tells you that mohammad saw an angel. The people that put together the Koran have not yet done that. How would you know if that person was telling the truth or not?
    1
  103.  @studyielts3577  did you see my question? What did people do before the Quran? How are they able to know the truth?
    1
  104.  @studyielts3577  okay.. you may see where this is going but that didn't really answer my question. Let's try again Let's say You lived right before the flood and Noah comes to you. How do you know what he is saying is true?

  105.  @gordianknot9595  my grandpa's grandpa lived with Joseph and one of his sisters on one of Joseph's first sister wives. I'm quite happy with his integrity as only one degree of separation. People look for so much to defame him, because they hate the gospel of Jesus Christ and his commandment.

  106.  @gordianknot9595  Nope they hate following Jesus, and are looking for anyway to get out of it.

  107. The internet came out in the 90s The church still keeps marching on. It didn't grow in 2020, probably because of Covid, but going from 4m to 17m since the invention of the internet? If anything it has allowed more access to information and God wins if people aren't oppressed by people trying to control information.
    1
  108. I'm old enough to know the same. I've never seen happiness with less faith and righteousness. I would invite you to read the book of Mormon to see if the principles in it can increase your lasting Joy. Good luck! lmk if I can help

  114. Because if the church of Jesus Christ isn't true then the bible isn't true and there is no good worldview that makes sense.
    1
  115.  @torta2012  If the great apostasy (Amos 3:7) and restoration (Ephesians 1:9–10.]) of the church had not happened that would invalidate the bible. Google how many verses talk about apostasy and restoration. If they did not happen then the bible is not true. But you don't have to take my word for it or your money-grubing pastor's word for it. Do your own research. Ask and Seek as you've been comanded. Best of luck to you.

  116. John here is what they teach: 35 Now Zeezrom said unto the people: See that ye remember these things; for he said there is but one God; yet he saith that the Son of God shall come, but he shall not save his people—as though he had authority to command God. 36 Now Amulek saith again unto him: Behold thou hast lied, for thou sayest that I spake as though I had authority to command God because I said he shall not save his people in their sins. 37 And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins. 38 Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father? 39 And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last; 40 And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else. 41 Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made, except it be the loosing of the bands of death; for behold, the day cometh that all shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be judged according to their works.

  126. Have you had a chance to read the book of mormon? It has changed my life and increased my faith in Jesus Christ. Best
    1
  127. No he doesn't . You can see from his other vide. only about 10% of people that the the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints keep any sort of faith in God, let alone Jesus Christ. And usably they get the spirit of the Devil in them Like Lynn Wilder and lie about Jesus Christ after they leave.
    1
  128. well said

  129. I love this cult of Jesus Christ. I would follow him anywhere.
    1
  130. Honestly, as I rethinking his words it sounds so high-minded of him to say that what Jesus wanted him to do was "harmful" to him. I've seen the actual harm of those who do the opposite of Jesus Christ on the world. I think if people get off the glitter of social media they too will see real people struggling from real things.

  131. 17 They were once a delightsome people, and they had Christ for their shepherd; yea, they were led even by God the Father. 18 But now, behold, they are led about by Satan, even as chaff is driven before the wind, or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves, without sail or anchor, or without anything wherewith to steer her; and even as she is, so are they

  132. I found the above scripture related to the topic
    1
  133. According to a pew research study members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints read and understand the bible more than any other denomination. Johnny has probably read it a bunch. I read it every day. Just saying this so you can understand more. Johnny's real problem is he doesnt love Jesus Christ.
    1
  134. The doctrine of our church can be found in the book of Mormon and the new and old testament. Google the plan of salvation. That will give you a good start. I loved being raised with the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and am raising my kids with the same options. Jonny's parents must have sucked. I'm so grateful for might that gave me the light I know how. I've had the chance to learn for myself, independently, that Jesus Christ lives and he's resorted his church on the earth.

  135. Yeah this question always gets me. I see the videos of these crazy teachers trying to talk about the crazies stuff, and he thinks that's not indoctrination?
    1
  136. I've always thought this was interesting as well. I think the easiest way to say it for me is we're not Trinitarian Christians.

  137. Mae I would invite you to look again. I know you hear about racisim but did you see it?

  138. We have so many fun secrets. We love to take people's babies and sacrifice them to our different Jesus.

  139. Have you read the book of Mormon?
    1
  140.  @jeffs4483  its not the Bible. Maybe know what something is before you dog it.
    1
  141.  @unknownx5900  It was Adam :) He believed in Jesus. But you're asking the question Joseph Smith asked and got answers to, that is why I love the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It's also why I partially agree with Johnny. If the church isn't true. Then I know of no other satisfying explanation for my existence and free will.
    1
  142.  @unknownx5900  I'm saying Jesus (Jehovah) was with our father in heaven (the Father Jesus speaks of (and to) in the new testament) in the beginning (when the physical world was created) Jesus, Adam, and all of us existed before we came to earth, and we together with Adam chose to come down here to have the opportunity to learn and grow through real physical experiences. So we could learn to control our physical bodies and because of Jesus Christ be Resurrected and keep a glorified physical body like Jesus had after the resurrection and like our Father in Heaven has. The book of Mormon is a record of some of those lost sheep you talked about and Jesus's dealings with people in the Americas. After Jesus Died He went and "preached to the spirits in prison" Those are people that haven't had a chance to learn everything they needed to learn while yet alive. This all happens before the final judgment. Otherwise, how could God be just? Those are some High-level details of the plan in relation to some of your questions. I think it would be worth asking more question, and talking more.
    1
  143.  @unknownx5900  I"m not sure I understand your question. All of us lived with our father in heaven as spirits before the earth was created both Jesus and Mary and also you and me. We chose to come down to earth to be tested and grow through mortal experience. Mary made that choice and so did you and so did I. Are you asking who created God or how he organized our spirits (including Jesus's)? if so I have no idea :) because that question never ends :) You could just keep asking it ;) We believe matter can not be created out of nothing only changed. Meaning nothing is created ex nihilo Sorry, maybe if I didn't understand your question you could repeat it in a different way. Best
    1
  144.  @unknownx5900  the book of Mormon has an account of Jesus Chris visiting the people in the American soon after his resurrection. That account is proof he is very special. Joseph Smith saw heavenly father and Jesus Chris in the spring of 1820. And the father said " this is my beloved son here him"
    1
  145.  @unknownx5900  We all live with God before. And I am sorry my brain can't comprehend how God or anything first started. That question has no end because you would just be asking the same question after the first answer
    1
  146.  @unknownx5900  these are good questions. You may want to Google the plan of salvation. What else are you thinking about? One good question is if God was walking 🚶‍♂️ around and wearing normal clothes. How would you know he was God ? Moroni has a good answer.
    1
  147.  @breakfastanytime8180  He talks about Control, but that is all internal and his internal need to please other people. The doctrine is all about free choice and growth. It sounds like he lacks that understanding.

  148. and free will.

  149. 18, is that your age? Then may I start by saying two things. I've never meet an 18 year old that new anything ;) . And don't let emotions make decisions for you. Also I hope as you learn more you will learn there is so much you don't know and to be humble with your search. Probably not what you want to hear. Good luck.

  150.  @cybertruckman634  Your words cut both ways. " It's not what people don't know that scares me it's what they do know is wrong"

  151.  @cybertruckman634  I'm saying the same thing you are “the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know”. Especially at 18 I'm not minimizing his concerns I'm saying he's got a lot to learn about truth, lies and motivation. He should know that now rather than latter. If someone is not good at their job best tell them to fix it before they get fired. I'm saying I've never seen anyone that has left the church that after a life of sin is better off. And I've seen lots of people leave that think they know stuff but know nothing.

  153.  @Abenn944  We send them because the know nothing. A humble testimony does so much more than what people think they know. I'm sorry is this supposed to be a safe place? :) I really think one of the biggest problems that tik tok has created is an eco chamber of validation. We all need our ideas challenged that is what got humanity to this point, and if an Idea can't be challenged it's probably a dumb Idea. And I'm just suppler lonely lol :)

  155.  @johnb5254  If God didn't put us here to work and grow through the pain then God is a moron and has no purpose, or he just enjoys watching people suffer for no reason. That is even worse.

  156. Phil. If it makes no sense and so many join maybe it's a personal problem ;). Just saying take a deeper look.

  157.  @philbrooks5979  according to pew research it is the only us faith that activity increase as people become more educated (aka less ignorant). Also another pew research conducted concluded that they read and understand the Bible more than all other us faiths. So it seems like the information you are sharing may be incorrect. Let me ask you a question. What is your motivation for sharing your information? Best
    1
  158. Also the 17m members of the Church of Jesus Christ and the 40m other people that have heard about it and think it's a cult. Oh and the billions of others on the planet trying to figure out if they came from mud and are cell robots or have free will and a purpose.

  159. As I member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints I to am so grateful for a Personal relationship with the one True Living Lord through The Holy Spirit. Best to you!

  160. I'm with you logan. I love my faith in Jesus Christ.

  161. Have you read the bible? "7th heaven" "many mansions" According to a pew research study members of the church of Jesus Christ are the most familiar with the bible compared to other Christians.
    1
  162. That's odd, because it's the only church that the more educated you are the more likely you are to remain active.

  164. It's like Carl Sagan said either there are a lot of aliens or there are no aliens. Both of those prospects should terrify you.
    1
  165. I'm a member. I don't support Putin, and I don't know any that do. I"m sure the people that do are missing information, and our belief in the restored gospel is not based on others' mistakes, but on our growth. My family and I pray for Ukraine every day. May God bless you in your freedom.
    1
  166.  @joshkeeton9616  It is life! And it's also the very point of life. Growth can only occur with real outcomes either way. What is very important is righteous principles bring peace and happiness in this life a life with God after. Disobedience means stress, sadness, and a lack of growth. Just a big treadmill.
    1
  167.  @alexone8338  Yeah but the growth comes from converts so it's a good question. I love this cult :)
    1
  168. It's not growing as fast as it has in other times but it is growing. I can imagine it not growing, not hard to do, and that may happen, as per the parable of the 10. But as of now 250k converts/year. I know many personally.
    1
  169. Most Members are very politically conservative.
    1
  170. This is so true. It also would work with the book of Mormon
    1
  171.  @joss6218  I'm familiar with the scripture in revelations and Deuteronomy about not adding to scripture. Let me ask you a question, Let's say you're a Greek and Paul comes to visit you, You can't read (few could then) and you listen to his words. How did you as a Greek have the opportunity to know that he was telling the truth, that he saw Jesus on the road to Dimascas?
    1
  172.  @joss6218 I love reading the Bible too! And you're right, having God in your marriage and life is paramount. Just sharing another testament of Jesus christ. More witnesses of his divinity and love for us. #becauseofhim Love you testament

  173. I think this is not a fair "education" you should read the book that came from the hill to be more self informed.
    1
  174.  @jeffs4483  I know the member and the auditor personally he's just trying ot make money from the IRS. I agree with JS this made my faith in Jesus Christ Stronger. #becauseofhim I am free and Johnny is too.
    1
  175. I'm your age and my parents are dead. My mission was one of the best experiences in my life. And my faith in the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ has been the biggest blessing and the best. Just saying "it's not what people don't know know that scares me but it's what they do know is wrong"
    1
  176.  @daverov1766  Good luck! I loved my mission. It was so great to see people's lives change for the better. I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ, his gospel has changed my life so much!!!
    1
  177. I think this is a very valid point. I've also not seen a satisfying reason for why God created the earth other than to allow for a place for us to grow. I really would like to think I'm open mined as well. But the why is the most important part, and the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches the why.
    1
  178. Shi, where are you now in your journey? I don't know you could access youtube in china, are you on a VPN?

  182.  @Jason-jd6ro  The timeline wouldn't work. You could say the mob that killed him had that motivation for various reasons. But the feathering was much earlier, or at least not enough people would have known about it earlier.

  183.  @Jason-jd6ro  if you go to Joseph Smith polygamy Or(g) you can see a well documented time-line, . But yeah long and the short 1832 is too early for this mob

  184.  @Ragdollcatlover  I'm not being rude. I'm just stating facts. We can talk to anyone about our faith. Therefore your statement is in error one way or the other.
    1
  185.  @Ragdollcatlover  Yes what you're saying isn't true. Either your family is making up rules or you're not telling the truth. Those are the only options. NP, Have a good day.

  186. I'm old enough to know that people that leave the gospel never seem to have the life I want. It usually takes about 10 years.
    1
  187.  @jeffs4483  No I'm saying people's lives I've seen leave are sad bitter and hedonistic. I'ts not a cult just because the money-hungry pastors say so.
    1
  188. Jackson, 1st you could listen to Gary if you think you're in a cult but I doubt you think you're in a cult. 2nd you know you have your free agency and your family will still love you if you don't go on a mission. The very fact that you know you have your free agency should remind you that you have been given that free agency From God, Your loving father that is putting you here to experience to grow and learn to freely choose good over evil. You cannot rely on what other people say anymore you need to find out for yourself if you are a Son of God and if he has a work for you to do. Go to God fine out in prayer. No one can do it for you. You have to do the work.
    1
  189. Yeah sometimes people throw out all the good and land really hard.
    1
  190. Have you read the book of mormon?
    1
  191. Yeah but have you read the book of mormon?
    1
  192. Same here! I know it and I know God knows I know it, and not much I can do about that.
    1
  193. Yes praise Allah. The book of Mormon Teaches that Allah loves all his children everywhere.
    1
  194. I've lived all over the US and they are the least racist group I've been with, by far. Have you been to the south? There are churches that really hate anything different. The founder of the LDS church ran for president on an anti-slavery campaign. Don't believe everything your preacher tells you. He's got a financial incentive to keep you.

  198. The CES letter was a way to get IRS funding.
    1
  199.  @gordianknot9595  have you looked at the responses to the ces letter? 17 people saw the gold plates snd hundreds angels. You have to ask yourself if you where Greek and Paul came to you with his story how would you know if it was true. Good luck 👍
    1
  200. I think this is why this video is so popular, is because it's our own story. However, Jonny is not typical of members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. He just seemed to go through the motions and it sounds like his parents never taught him why. They why is the most important part. Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people or vice versa, and why did God create the earth? We should never be motivated by shame, but by love and knowledge and Education are key to that. The more we know and the more we know about God the more we can Love. I would ask any honest in heart to read the Book of Mormon. It has changed my life for the better.

  201. What is that realization? I'd love to hear it, bring your A game.

  203. Joe, Are you saying it's better to have a religion even if you know it's false?
    1
  204. 1.3 mm views, when I posted this, that's a lot. I wonder why? I'm I member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I'm not sure how to respond to Johnny. Going from believing there is a creator and right and wrong is complex and requires a very drastic worldview change. I'm still wondering why the great interest in it? People are leaving their beliefs all the time. Why are people so interested in Johnny's Story? I feel like I should do a video of why I believe in Jesus Christ, Right/Wrong, Creation, and that the Book of Mormon I exactly what it says it is. But then I think there are a lot of those videos. I would love to know why you found this video intriguing and watched it?

  205.  @frogery  Got it, that makes sense. I just couldn't figure why it kept popping up in my feed.

  206.  @exmormonroverpaula2319  Yes Paula I do Believe the Book of Mormon and that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and also Creation and Right and Wrong. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and helping with my curiosity poll! Best!

  207. The book of Mormon would say "wickedness never was happiness"

  208.  @jeffs4483  My Grandpa's Grandpa lived with him and his sister was one of Josephs's wife. Those who new him personally had a very different opinion from those that apostatized because they wanted wickedness.

  209. I think learning is worthwhile, and I think you should listen to the same spirit that tells you murder is wrong. But the nice part is it's up to you to think and learn and if God does exist and if you are honest in heart you can learn the truth. Good Luck. lmk if I can help. Or you could run, but what does that do? Unless you think they are going to kill you. Then run :)

  210. What does Islam say is the meaning of life?
    1
  211. Dan, I think every member of the Church of Jesus Christ would be interested in your story if it draws them closer to Jesus Christ and helps them grow. You should try reading the book of Mormon and it will put even more meaning into your rebirth as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Best
    1
  212.  @x2z964  all based on old testament covenants. Rather than just parrot what you're pastors says read the old testament and learn more about the temple also read the book of Mormon, it will bring you closer to Jesus Chris 🙏
    1
  213.  @x2z964  I've yet to meet someone who said they read The book of Mormon that actually has? To make sure you're telling the truth, can you tell me what happened to abinidi's king? One reading of the book would make this obvious. Sorry to doubt you but you have to be parroting someone as the points you are say are not new and aren't from your experience as you've not been to the temple.
    1
  214.  @x2z964  yes truth is light . But the main problem is I never seen to agree with how someone can figure out the truth. And there in lies the rub. Of course if everyone agreed with how to find truth we would not have so many world views.
    1
  215. Some times it takes a while :)

  216. The scripture does say skins. it says something similar in the OT as well. But look at what skins means in the OT. Also, our scripture also says "all are alike unto God" and that is a very important principle. That you and someone of different skin color are both children of God and joint heirs with Christ. I would look into it further. Lives purpose is to grow, and "God is not a respecter of persons" he just wants you to grow and be happy like him.
    1
  217.  @blackalien6873  Gen 4:15 is that reference and history all (and that would mean your church) interpreted that scripture that way. Why would I lie? Think about it.
    1
  218. Only about 10% of people that leave the restored gospel of Jesus christ go to another faith. There are good reasons for that. You have to brake your brain and deny your heart.
    1
  219. No. According to the book of Mormon, Christ invites all to come unto him, ALL. There have been a lot of theories (some okay and some stupid) as to why the children of god have so much genetic variety. But there has been no revelation on it. Two things of note. More black and brown members than white these days. Least racist people on earth. As it's commanded in the book of Mormon to not see others or "ites"
    1
  220. Really? I would love to see a link to that. That's a bold claim.

  221. Then you've never met me :) I love Jesus and his restored church and have infinite questions.

  222. The truth can make us feel very uncomfortable. We often stick our heads in the sand to avoid it.

  223. The cult of power and taking other people's money. :) without adding value
    1
  224. One useful question is do you have free will? I would also suggest reading the book of Mormon. Good luck, as so much is so unclear as it should be and hence so many points of view.
    1
  225. I love the church of Jesus christ of latter-day saints and its doctrine. Do all Muslim sects believe families can be together forever? Or is it a Sunni / Shia differance? I didn't know that, that's interestgin. I feel like the preexistence doctrine and the angels leaving heaven are similar to the Jinn doctrine of Islam.

  226. Love this. I'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ.

  227. The apostasy was in full swing by 106 AD, the apostles had already been killed.

  229. Maybe you should ask why he said it? He obviously read the bible a lot.
    1
  230.  @jeffs4483  well you'd better stop talking about him then as your proving him right by doing so 🤷 😉
    1
  231.  @jeffs4483  yes exactly. That people would be talking about him good and bad for a while. Your obsession as someone that thinks he's a liar is also odd to me. Is it from your preacher? Or from another source?
    1
  232.  @breakfastanytime8180  I"m saying if I"m thinking about shame and free will and thinking a lot deeper than what I'm wearing. Like why do I think I have free will and why do I think I have shame? So much social pressure. People are so weak, me included. Why should I care about what people think? Unless they are right and I know I'm wrong. But if they are wrong and I let them influence me... Well..
    1
  233.  @breakfastanytime8180  It is more complex and I think that's the point that she's missing. Here she is thinking about what other people think about her. Who cares? If you do care then you should be thinking why! She is not thinking about they why of anything and most people don't. They are just thinking..."I wonder what I should wear today" A reasonable question if you're not an animal and a bag of cells. I think Carl Sagan (someone that thought more) put it well. Either there are no aliens or there are a lot and both thoughts should terrify you. Look if you want to waist your life caring about what people think of you that's up to here. But for those that are thinkers and are willing to think about complexity. Those are the people I want to spend time with.
    1
  234. As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. , I see how you can say that. It's an easy temptation for members to fall into because they just say in their hearts "if that person would just stop doing X, their life would be so much better" Lots have never been trapped by X and don't know how hard life can be. Some wisdom from your words is "don't judge unrighteously" Look deeper Try and put yourself in other shoes etc. I would ask some members you know what drives them and see if you can really get to the bottom of it. The Book of Mormon Changed my life. I would say don't judge a book by its cover.
    1
  235. I agree. I'm old enough to see that it never works well.
    1
  236. You experienced the prophetic words of "where will you go" Welcome back!
    1
  237. Agreed
    1
  238. If the OT is true then Christ is the Messiah and the book of Mormon is true. But that makes it so the Quaran is not true, since it says the bible is true. I would recommend reading the book, as long as it won't get you killed.
    1
  239. I would question it a ton, dive in and do your own research read the book.
    1
  240.  @deboraholsen8443  I'm saying wait on the Lord and he will give you more understanding. I'm also saying that God works according to our own understanding. I would take more time to look deeper at some/all of the things you are curious about. Up until just a few weeks ago, all the scientists in the world thought the big bang was it. Now with James web we've got to rethink everything When I was a kid, they only thought people got to the Americas by a land bridge, now they have politician artifacts all over the Americas. How stupid was it that in school they taught us that people could sail to the easter islands but they couldn't sail to the Americas? I hope I'm clear enough. Read the book of Mormon daily and see how it changes your life and opens your mind.
    1
  241. Tell us how you really feal 🤣

  242. Because if the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints isn't true nothing else can be. I do agree with Johnny on that. Christianity and the prophicies of Christ can't be true without the restored Church.

  258.  @carylpark7192  I think that is a great litmus test. "by their fruits ye shall know them" You can use that as you read the book of mormon. But it's up to you. Best of luck.

  259. It can be really hard. I'm like you as well, but older. I'm so grateful for the scriptures they've really helped in dark times.
