will the internet kill the Mormon faith or adisq us here and we're gonna use a
case study actually
hands matson now he a is from
I believe sweet actually he is a Mormon very well a high-placed
in his church and or time over the last couple years around 2010 summer the
other more min city newsletter coming to him
with questions they had about the faith about the history of the mormon faith
and they started to question things in original he brushed off but eventually
he found that once he started doing his own research was very difficult to brush
off some other things he was seen
here's a quote from them he says I felt like I had earthquake under my feet
everything I've been taught everything I've been proud to preach about a
witness about
just crumbled under my feet it was such a terrible psychological and nearly
physical disturbance
now we have a list of some other things he noticed during his research into the
history the Mormon faith that bothered him
well it does eventually but it is an interesting idea that
his internet research is what led him to question these things because he
couldn't get the information even from his church
even though he was relatively highly placed and so
maybe this will have a long-term impact on religion I was really taken aback by
this guy's last name little bit it's very to let you know the interesting
thing is that actually come from a long line of Mormons
my family is not more men other my grandfather was raised Mormon and his
father and his father before that
were more min and I grew up in Gilbert Arizona which is basically the Salt Lake
City if
at Arizona there were many many more min families in my area
my grandfather basically nipped in the bud for my family when he married my
grandmother and the nineteen thirties he was baptised
so he dropped his religion well ever having access to the Internet
I feel like it's been happening yeah that's the way it would be easier to
find this information obviously with the Internet I could hasn't been kinda
falling apart I feel like
well I hear ya know but oftentimes it would happen because you fell in love
with somebody in there outside the church
and then so that led to a Fisher cuz you're supposed to do that at cetera
but eat this story's interesting for Uncommon Grounds
one he the he's an Amarantus
area authority that's why they call it the Mormon Church which the New York
Times
explains is almost like a cardinal in the Catholic Church
it was a very significant high-level mormon that's basically
questioning the faith yes that's why it's a little bit more interesting a
story
second a wall its despite the fact that he was that high-level
he didn't know all these things the church a whitewash it so thoroughly
that they'd only given the positive stuff they had given the quickest up
they had shown him what actually happen with Joseph Smith
yet so that even though he got this high up on the Churchie he had no idea until
he went online is like
the air
yeah imagine what I don't if you watch Southpark
I'm got his head would explode on the new add-on I
so do you wanna go over some of absolute yet a question okay so he eventually to
the research and found that some the things he says
I will these the results why does the church always portray just a Smith
translating the book a Mormon from golden plates
when witnesses described in looking down into a hand a peep stone
a rock that he believes help them find buried treasure as among the other
things he was wondering about
out why were black man excluded from the priesthood from the mid eighteen
hundreds in some 1978
until recently is a true this meant to dozens of lives some as young as
fourteen and some already Wed
other Mormon leaders to the great pain in his first wife 'em-up
us F that's gotta hurt especially if you're one of those Mormon leaders now
and finally why did Smith claimed that the book a paper hammock or scripture
was a translation and ancient writings from the Hebrew patriarch Abraham
when Egypt I'll just now identify the papyrus that Smith used in the
translation
as a common funerary scroll that has nothing to do
with and perhaps well former Mormon explain yourself
I well I think that monitors and as such in New
religion and other religions are not feeling it is hard because they've been
around for
you know two thousand years they've had time to like fill in the gaps and maybe
like yes something about like
you know figured out the morning isn't so new owner so many like
you know plot holes to this story that I think that the internet and just having
access to information a simple Google search will help you figure out that
yeah this is kinda not no I Aquinas basically I think he's exactly right
because it you know yeah so game at
like when it when it's up having two thousand years ago like what I mean
nobody knows right I mean did you do that he do this
and you know and so the color gospels even disagree but
you can understand a late developer years ago hey
even those who was with the inerrant Word of God but this happened during
recorded history not that long ago
yeah so we know is a when you find out oh that's cool he was looking at was
just like somebody like a
bob smith died the other day you know what we do is let me say guys to leave
all the crap
right that's pretty hard to get beyond
and then my favorite is that among all those different things that this mister
mass and fella
was shell-shocked by was unlike oh we hated blacks
or any about our turns out it's like was all bullshit
the thing that really shouldn't was on my car Joseph Smith had many wives
who the wrong kind of sex no
that I heard and he said he was just floored by that but how could you not
know the entire Mormon Church was based on polygamy from the beginning
but the white wife it's so effectively that even one other
you know leaders in in Europe is like white
polygamy I more miserable I had no idea
and finally Mike this my favorite part of the home organism story
Joseph Smith was not a polygamous all along he would ever was a
on at one so I'll have a revelation that was enormously beneficial to himself
as all the profits that I mean ever you want over the Prophet Mohammed
every time you have a little trouble with wat I'm getting his room all up
yeah he says I'm totally right again and I'll take your wife I
and that's exactly what you suspect that you know who is the one person who never
believe that part of it and begin to question the whole thing
his wife am A you know the first transmission he got from Mormon ir were
ever use
maroney Merola I okay
he's like all it turns out to God is yeah yet you want me to have sex with me
I the first person he took out as the same way it was there made
and emma is what it was like oh come on dude
I was fire with the rest to vote for you to fuck the baby yeah
that's what you gonna do and then got was like if you wanna join in that's
cool too
I
