      @Jessica Bolles according to LDS doctrine, yes. And unless once sealed, if you divorce for any reason, like say the husband was horribly abusive or cheated on you, unless you go through a very lengthy and involved difficult process of getting "unsealed", you are forever sealed to him in heaven, where he can and will have multiple wives. LDS heaven includes having sex and sending those spirit babies down to earth to be born into physical bodies. And even if you remarry, unless you are unsealed from first husband, when you die you will be forever married to your former abusive husband and forever making babies with him to send to earth. As many times as a man marries on earth and is sealed to he keeps in heaven. Naturally, women don't keep as many husbands as she has married and divorced. Polygamy is very much still part of LDS doctrine in the afterlife, and of course, as it was in the Bible, it is entirely men having multiple wives, and never a wife with multiple husbands.

Radiating bliss, knowing me completely. He engulfed me." So, sorry Mormons. There ARE no "levels", there ARE no "wives". The euphoria and bliss of being "engulfed" by God FAR surpasses what any dang WIFE could do for ya!🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I went to a Catholic school. I had my first communion (eating a wafer) at 7. I also had my first confession (telling your sins to a priest) when I was 7. I did not want to but I really had no choice. I never went to confession again. Fortunately, when I was 9 my Father said I could go to church if I wanted to but he wouldn't let my mother force me to go. When I was 11 a teacher told me that if you didn't want to go to church on Sunday it was because the Devil, an invisible being, was telling you not to go. (Strangely you couldn't actually hear his voice. Somehow he spoke to you without you actually hearing him). Fortunately, the teacher's scare tactics did not work.

Protecting gay marriage does not affect me positively or negatively, but if I voted for someone who wanted that right taken away, how would that be anything but an act of hate against my sister?

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: if the Mormon church really is the ONLY true church, God's own church led by Christ himself...why does it need "defending"? :P How can anyone hurt GOD? What "terrible danger" could their church possibly be facing that a god couldn't handle? And if such a threat really existed, what makes you think a mere human could handle it better than a GOD? XD Maybe they're always going on about "defending the faith" because God *isn't* actually leading their religion? :P Dunno, just a thought ;P

    Hello Lex. You’re videos have been entertaining and fascinating. I’m not a Mormon nor do I have any intentions of becoming one. I have family that I’m close to that are however and some that have left the church. They always sent me care packages and cards when I was in Iraq and then a few years later in Afghanistan. I’m a staunch conservative army veteran that loves coffee, alcohol, and I’m heavily tattooed. I talk to my Mormon cousins often and just never understood their frame of mind or dedication to what I’ve always viewed as a cult. Your videos and stories have helped me to gain a little more insight as to what is rattling around in their heads. Again, thanks and keep it up.

    So funny! To be honest this Mormon rule was probably created by Smith because he probably didn’t like coffee or tea and so he made it a sin and put into the scriptures. This is a benefit of being a cult leader. You can forbid anything that you personally don’t like and the followers will be obedient and do as they are told and for generations too. In Scientology they forbid members to accept clinical psychology as it is a forbidden terrible sin to commit. This is because the cult leader’s writings were rejected by psychologists as a sham and he was bitterly resentful so he forbade his members to get help from actual doctors that can help them. Instead they follow this rogue teachings of diabetics. It’s crazy how cult members get brainwashed by convoluted teachings.

I don't know the statistics but I guarantee more people die from obesity related issues than ever from drinking coffee. Granted obesity wasn't an issue back in Joseph Smith time. If it was truly about health, well we do claim to believe in modern day revelation, where isn't the modern-day Revelation about being a fat obese lard-ass. If they came down on being a fat lard-butt they would offend a lot of people and lose their income base. Okay I'm done just my worthless.

    At the age of 15 members of the Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran church are confirmed. This involves some study (usually at a summer camp), church ceremony (first communion) and a celebration with family and presents. Majority of Finns belong to E-L church, so this all is normal and unquestioned even in families where religion is in no way significant. Personally I was an atheist at 15 and tried to skip the whole thing. My parents weren't religious, but were afraid of (or concerned by) the opinions and feelings of relatives and tempted me into going through this with the presents. A decision I am not all proud of. So, I don't think that in similar situations many 8-year olds could say no either.

    My husband’s uncle and his family are Mormon. They are in the UK. When his cousin came to visit us in Australia she told us that the reason they don’t drink coffee and tea is due to the amount of caffeine they contain. She likened it to not being allowed to drink alcohol, as it has detrimental affects on the body. Interestingly the whole family is addicted to chocolate in all forms, including hot chocolate. Chocolate has as much caffeine as coffee. They also would drink a hot drink called Caro which is a coffee replacement. They didn’t talk about not being allowed to have hot drinks. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Regarding the last part of the video - I'm still on FAIR's mailing list, and in one of their most recent newsletters they talked about Jeffrey Holland's BYU talk, they basically said that, if you had a problem with it, DON'T go on social media (which they called "the Monster") and raise concerns. In other words, SHUT UP and keep it in the family. The writer even suggested going to a person who had a problem with the talk with "a warm loaf of banana bread" and talk with them with the words of the Lord.
    Sorry, but after listening to that talk, I think I know who and what the real "monster" is.

As someone who has had severe recurring depressive episodes before and after leaving the church, with the most occurring during quarantine, partially because of isolation and partially because I recently had moved out of my parents' house and was processing some trauma, I know that family and other people see this as proof that I am unhappier out of the church than I was in it. I hate that. And it's just not true. A lot of my unhappiness stems from the church, or church-related things that have a long term effect.
