I love Utah for living! Utah is peace in your mind, in your heart and with your kids. I am not mormon, I am catholic, but in Utah there are several religions, and atheist people. Utah is quiet, safe, i enjoy every day this city, this state.
I really like to record. I'm not good enough to see a country like this. May you have the strength and courage to create and show us recordings like this. I pray to God that the next soul will also come to see America. My only desire is to love and watch nature around the world. But I don't have that.
I've lived in Salt Valley my whole life, with the exception of me living in Colorado and Wyoming for 2 years, and I love it! It's got its pros and cons, but I love it!
Fly into Vegas and drive to North rim Grand Canyon then Zion, Bryce, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Grand Escalante, Capitol Reef, Goblin Valley State Park, Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point State Park, back to Vegas. Can be done in a week.
Utah is beautiful. I live in a smaller house but have a great view of the Wasatch Mountains. I'd recommend going to Moab to do a variety of fun activities while enjoying the great orange mountains/hills.
I have the most informational video on this topic. No time wasting, i go in depth on every canyon and which to drive to first. I also explain what to expect from each one. All the info needed for the Utah trip in an 8 min video.... It might help you out
Thinking about moving to Salt Lake City from Portland. I was wondering if it's hard to make friends. Like do Mormons hang out with people who aren't Mormon? I'm a Christian but don't always go to church so I'm not super religious and I'm somewhat liberal. I feel like I'll be so out of place in Utah.
Live in utah.. yes there are lots of Mormons, but this is no different than many other places in the US.. many areas are just as conservative such as the southeastern US.. in the past ten to fifteen years utah has actually become quite diverse.. dont let social stereotypes ruin some of the best scenery in the world..
@@aluf2567 if they want to preserve their history they would do well to learn how to stake claim to what is theirs and not be so friendly that a bunch of liberal anti religious political zealots move in and force the mormons out. It's one thing to be friendly when people who respect your community moves in but when a group of people move in who demand equality but bash every ideal you live for it's time to put your foot down.
What if you want to start a small business, i've heard/read this is one the best places for small business, especially for my age group! What did the state do to you if you don't mind me asking?
We may be "Home of the Mormons" but that doesn't mean all of Utah's residents are hardcore Mormons. In Fact, we are as diverse as any other place in America and beyond. I'm Christian myself, and I know several atheist people, and of course, a few mormons. A Lot of Mormon people are just like you and I, and are kind people. Don't let the stereotype ruin your stay in Utah, enjoy the many other wonders of our state.
This video remarks on the Mormon culture among Utah citizens. While the narrator does showcase many beautiful qualities of Utah and SLC, much of the information spoken was partially or completely inaccurate. Let me clarify for all who are interested :) 1. While the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) (LDS) have their headquarters in SLC, the religious and political affiliations remain completely separate. This church does not make any political decisions for UT. The citizens vote for elected officials (of any faith) just like everyone else in America. 2. These buildings are all respected by church members, but the only sacred building out of the ones listed is the Salt Lake Temple. Like other faiths, LDS members use their temple to worship God. We have 155 temples all over the world, not just SLC :) The other buildings are nice for meetings (think really large Sunday church meetings), but anyone can visit and even be offered a guided tour. If you visit these buildings, like the conference center, you will be astonished at the beauty of the building and artwork therein. Mormons are Christians, and have many stunning paintings of Christ and the Godhead. 3. Joseph Smith was the first president and prophet of the LDS church, but these facts are all just a bit off. For accurate information, go to mormon.org or LDS.org. And the Angel Moroni is pronounced Mor-oh-ni. :) 4. It should be noted that we don't worship seagulls. Some people think that I guess? That's weird. We're normal people. Christians. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 5. We have 16 million members and growing! Whoot whoot! The conference center isn't as much of a holy place as it is like a big church building. This is not the "headquarters". Twice a year, members from all over the world (obviously not all of them because 16 million is a sizable group) meet here (and through TV/computers/etc) and we listen to the leaders of our church preach from the Bible and the Book of Mormon and share uplifting messages about Christ. 6. LET"S TALK ABOUT THIS INCOME THING. Each member does not HAVE to pay 1/10th of his/her income. This is not a soccer team. We believe it is a commandment from God, and like all other commandments we choose whether we will obey it. And GUESS WHAT. This income paid does NOT go to the church leaders! That's ridiculous! Actually, all of our clergy around the world is unpaid! Crazy, right?? This 1/10th income paid goes to: Helping those in need. The LDS church members often get to disasters and emergency situations even before the American Red Cross. This money also funds humanitarian projects all over the world. Tithing is also spent on building and maintaining church buildings and temples. 7. We believe the family is very important :) Our church has the largest collection of genealogical records in the world. (Several billion records?) Cool, huh? 8. While the church did practice polygamy in the early days of the church (while other Americans of many other faiths did as well), it has not been practiced for well over a hundred years. I'm not a polygamist and I think that would be the most horrible thing. No Mormons approve of polygamy these days. That practice is looooong gone. 9. Who picked this music? This sounds like a 90's jam session for a keytair club. With some sexy saxophone. But- can't- stop- jammin! Ahh! 10. Ten minutes in the smooth jazz got to me and I mentally clocked out. I hope this comment was helpful for you! If you want to know more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints aka LDS aka Mormons, you can go to Mormon.org, LDS.org, or even message me and I'd be happy to respond :) Have a great day! Utah is beautiful!
+Lillith1941 Salt Lake City is not Mormon Mecca. Highly influential Mormon church makes no decisions--if did the blowback would be harsher than this video. The legislators are majority LDS and conservative. They represent their constituents who vote Republican so consistently that neither party spends much here in national elections. The 9 million members are now 15 million worldwide. The lie about 10% tithing having to be given and that it enriches the church leaders is absolute lie. The LDS believe that after you have filled your needs and even wants, your income should be used for the poor, hence Mitt Romney's more generous giving as noted in comparison to his rivals in elections.
Ski Fall you misunderstood. You don't have to "pay for membership." We believe in the tithe, which is 1/10th of your income, but no one can make you pay it. I've known people who attend church regularly but never pay their tithing, and no one knows.
+Yosue Gaitan Some people can't talk about Utah without raving about their strange views of the strange LDS who by now have infiltrated the USA to the point that you might be sitting by one at work and never know it. Only 20% of LDS have always been active or participating continuously. The video tells outright lies such as 10% tithing being mandaaory. Free agency or self determination is basic tenet just as it was in Apostolic Christianity.
+Yosue Gaitan No, but since Mormons founded the state, pretty much without Federal help, it makes sense they started with that info, The video does open with a fair, quick local history, just like the one for Colorado. There is plenty to do outside of Temple Square, I'm about half way thru the video, and they also haven't covered Park city ski area yet.
+Theresa Martinez 20% always active and 20 % sometimes active is from PEW. Tithing is mandatory for what? Not to be a member but "yes" to be considered "active" or have a temple recommend.
I came here to see if I should go to Utah for vacations, and all I've heard was "Utah is the MORMON Mecca, so MORMONS live MORMONLY MORMONS in here, because MORMONLAND is full of MORMONS in every place that MORMONS may look in. Utah is also a holy land in MORMONISM, because the MORMONS blablabla..."
Everytime someone says "Utah is a red state but don't worry look we love gays in salt lake" salt lake is one of the most liberal cities out there if it wasn't for rural Utah and the Mormons than Utah would have been a lost cause a long time ago.
35 minutes of pretty good stuff...after skipping 16 minutes of religious history (not what I came for) and a borderline obscene juxtaposition of land killing in the form of copper mining. What got me most was the casual way the narrator tried to pass this unholy premise on the viewer: "this copper mine can be seen from space, as can the great wall of china"...so it must be okay. Oh good grief... Just save yourself the trouble and advance to 16:15.
+Mayford Davis I think you'll find since the Narrator is giving distant in kilometers, this video would have originally been for English speakers, not 'mericans.
+Mitsuo Matsuyama Because it have mere mortals as residents? Which do you deride or hate/fear the most, those not quite practicing fully who party with you or the strict observers who still have faults? No one is perfect and none will be except as perfected in Christ. You set high standards for judging the LDS? Or judge all this way? If LDS are held to higher standards how hypocritical are you? The others--even the urban dictionary gets it, up to a point-- otherize 1) to make into the "other" to seperate from the 'our'; to make a distinction (negative connotation) we otherized pinkos mother last night by Struthy December 20, 2004
Lillith1941 The problem is not about being perfect, but to make efforts to be like Christ. No matter what you say, if you dont make any effort to be like Christ, you will be nothing before Him. I dont have anything against you, but unfortunatelly most of you guys have hard time to understand that people from other religions or societies are humans as you are and tend to think you are above others without realizing it.
We see what we are looking for? I doubt that your group you identify with are any better as your flawed critique seems to imply. LDS group is made up of individuals striving to be as the Savior says "even as I am" and then "even as the Father". If I were to recoil from you it would be from the seeming hatred or antagonism.
Lillith1941 excuse me, who said that I am criticizing you because I hate you guys or because my background is perfect? Striving to be as the Savior is to try hard to be like Him, things that we dont see in LDS institution. On the contrary, we see many from your religion causing troubles around the world. The country where I live young LDS guys are not permited to enter in many hotels because of troubles that they made in the past. Instead of being proud of your religion or ignoring the wrongdoing that you guys made, why dont you guys make something to solve this problem? No wonder why the LDS church has had significant decline in their membership.
+Mitsuo Matsuyama Haha! If people cant learn to live face to face with hypocrisy then they should prob just stay indoors altogether lol. The world is a crazy beautiful place.
I love Utah for living! Utah is peace in your mind, in your heart and with your kids. I am not mormon, I am catholic, but in Utah there are several religions, and atheist people. Utah is quiet, safe, i enjoy every day this city, this state.
Ive visited Salt Lake twice and love it , I do hope i get the opportunity to visit again there is so much to see 💓

Very beautiful and great USA thanks much from video

Great video 📹.......
I really like to record. I'm not good enough to see a country like this. May you have the strength and courage to create and show us recordings like this. I pray to God that the next soul will also come to see America. My only desire is to love and watch nature around the world. But I don't have that.
Sooooo 90's!
Amazing State, and Country. Ive been lucky enough to have 2 long roadtrips from Ireland there.

I've lived in Salt Valley my whole life, with the exception of me living in Colorado and Wyoming for 2 years, and I love it! It's got its pros and cons, but I love it!
Need better research on the history of Mormonism. Barely on target but far from hitting the bullseye.
Fly into Vegas and drive to North rim Grand Canyon then Zion, Bryce, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Grand Escalante, Capitol Reef, Goblin Valley State Park, Moab, Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point State Park, back to Vegas. Can be done in a week.
I'm cannot wait to see that beautiful part of the world. Maybe 2016:)
Utah is beautiful. I live in a smaller house but have a great view of the Wasatch Mountains. I'd recommend going to Moab to do a variety of fun activities while enjoying the great orange mountains/hills.
Black Watch Division youre really lucky being in there.such a wonderful place to live
i also live in utah, i live about an hour north of SLC, but at least ten minutes south of ogden.
Great video
Great first part, but the rocks are boooooring!
Nice
lake powell was where the skydiving scene and fall into the lake was filmed in lake powell Utah

There aren't as many Mormons in Utah as everyone says. I'm not and I live in Utah and Mormons will talk to to others that aren't Mormon.
+Trill Clinton out of place maybe in Provo. But not Salt Lake.
+Weapon Blender agree
Stay there!
+Tony Tiger LOL, all emotions come from two basic emotions, love and fear. What do you fear?
Gilgamesh, Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, Joe Smith. Youuuuur starting line-up!!!
Love our state!

Utah and especially Park City is the place I would like to live
Is this the history of Utah or a travel video? Over sixteen minutes of Utah's history!
Interesting
Miss and love Utah 👍👌
I'm moving to Utah.
I'd advise against that unless a.)you're married, b.)have kids, and/or c.)a hardcore Mormon.
Do what you want, it's your life, but still...

Of course it is, Park City in Utah is so peaceful😊
I'm completely turned off by the Mormon propaganda. I'll pass.
If you visit Utah, beware the morality police. Go on vacation, leave on probation.

thank you for the suggestion...i will do this!
work and live in Park City, Utah? NO, Thanks.
Get your facts straight
I noticed, right off, this guy is reading what amounts to a high school term paper... and I have read hundreds.
Someone needs a pronunciation guide and a lesson on Mormonism. Moroon-eye is not the right way to say that, FYI.
ikr made me laugh lol
The narrator has too many mispronounced words and statistics are way wrong!
This guy doesn't know much about Mormons... or Utah, either.
Sacrilege that a foreigner is narrating this. Don't we have anyone in America that can speak properly?
