mormonism

Greetings, My name is Caleb Collins, and I am but one of a group of college students who are in a band called PriorityOne. It is our goal to lead God-honoring worship and to serve Him well in that regard, but we also have a podcast, aptly named the PriorityOne Podcast. We'd love for you to give...

John Dehlin interviews Shannon Caldwell Montez on the Mormon meetings of 1922 with B.H. Roberts, wherein it was discussed that the BOM does not have a historical/real world basis. Synopsis as required by the new video posting rules (and because it is a very long video): It was discussed at...

I knew he was bad, but yiiiiikes...this is all so terrible! How on earth can Mormons listen to this stuff, assuming they accept he actually said it/wrote it (whether or not they agree with this lady's criticisms; I agree with them, but I also recognize that Mormons must be given some other way...

Watching this kind of manipulation in action is not only helpful in learning how to navigate such roadblocks put in the way to getting to the truth (on the Mormon religion, on the person of JS, on the BOM, on whatever), but also helps us to see why our Mormon friends on this website and...

I don't want to discuss the topic on which the Mormon leadership ruled (homosexuality), only what it might mean in a Mormon context that the leadership of the Mormon religion very recently considered the stance that they had previously taken on the religious exclusion of the children of...

This discussion evolved out of discussion from another thread about lds doctrine. I feel it was becoming too off topic so I would like to continue it here. The focus is Mormon Polygamy, Polyamory and the example of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Discussion begins about page 4 on the original...

LDS bishops asking such invasive questions in worthiness interviews that they actually give people specific ideas they wouldn't have otherwise had? LDS leaders revoking temple recommends for refusing to stop talking about your own divorce, in the context of trying to get help dealing with it...

@drstevej has a good thread on D&C 129 (the 'handshake test') going right now, so I don't mean to steal his thunder, but when I was just considering asking a question in that thread, some of the background material I'd been looking at about it jumped out at me, including a little bit of phrasing...

This just popped up in my "Recommended videos" on YouTube, and so I'm still listening to it for the first time as I put up my groceries and, oh my goodness...there is a part where she says she was doing so much to try to get God to like her...I had to stop what I was doing and brace myself for a...

The slipperiness of the LDS leadership is on display again, this time in a speech of Jeffrey Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, given to the Maxwell Institute at BYU, the Mormon religion's flagship university: This is one instance where I might not fully agree with the uploader...

It's kinda funny given how much the Mormon religion apparently prizes free will and freedom of religion that their leadership sometimes slips up and says things that are diametrically opposed to this publicly tolerant face. Apparently since the LDS religion means everything to their leader...

Hello, first of all, for all my members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints, I want to say, I have NOTHING against y'all as people, I REPEAT, NOTHING. and also sorry for using "Mormon", I know the presidency has said to not use it, i will though, because its much easier to the...

Just wanted to share this video I just found, which has in it a clip from John Dehlin's Mormon Stories podcast wherein he interviews Roger Hendrix, a man who has worn several hats within the LDS church and says that the God is essentially a story that people have invented, that Joseph Smith told...

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir gets the axe... SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The president of the Mormon church reiterated Sunday that he wants members, the media and others to use the faith's full name, saying nicknames are "a major victory for Satan." Addressing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day...

Since I've had a lot of time to wait around in airports lately, I've cracked open a book I bought a few years ago that I've been meaning to read and just never had the time. It's called The Mormon Murders by Steven Naifeh & Gregory White Smith (published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1988), and its...

So I found this interesting video when I was looking just now for a YouTube channel that I had heard about that is run by a young woman who had been born Mormon, converted to Islam, and then left Islam to become some kind of atheist or agnostic (she was featured on a podcast I listened to the...

In a recent conversation in another thread, I advanced the idea of BYU-TV essentially being propaganda for the Mormon religion, which was not very well-received by my interlocutors. I also maintained that the same could be said regarding Roman Catholic TV channels like EWTN, Orthodox TV channels...

Hi. I don't go out of my way to look at Mormon temple videos. I have seen them before thanks to YouTube's automatic play function, but I've never specifically searched for one. But today I was watching a video discussing the LDS practice of baptism for the dead from an atheist perspective, and...

I know contemporary Christians from Jehova's Witnesses to Evangelicals put a great emphasis on the apocalypse/rapture( millennialism). I was wondering what the traditional interpretation of Revelations and the rapture would be? Not just by Church fathers but by the general view of each of the...

A lot of people are against the religion, and honestly I don't really know why. For as much as I've looked into it, it is still a religion like any other, still Christian even, and doesn't seem to raise a red flag for me. My boyfriend of two years is Mormon and I am a Protestant Christian...
