Showing The Mormon Church NO MERCY w/ John Dehlin & Carah Burrell
Ойын-сауық
On today's episode, me and John Dehlin @mormonstories tackle our top reasons Mormonism falls on its face. No messing around, no games, just one: Jenga. We heard you like metaphors so we got you 54 of them delicately stacked, then SACKED. You'll have to watch and see who wins! (Rationality) And who goes home the loser! (Anyone who can't finish this video masterpiece)

My family is pretty devout in their Christian faith and I remember telling my Aunt that by leaving the church I was forfeiting my eternal marriage and she stopped me and asked "What's eternal marriage?" After I explained it to her she said "Sounds like you're in a cult". This was the first time I realized the temple marriage was only being used as a bargaining chip to keep its members in the faith. For context, my grandparents had just passed away and they were not LDS but were very devout in their faith. NO ONE was questioning if they were together in the after life. You don't need Mormonism to hold this belief.

I left for a similar reason. Sitting in singles ward, I realized how the promise of "family together forever" is only going to be given to a fraction of a percent of humans, and I realized how awful the temple makes Heavenly Father out to be. Yes. If God can see what's in our hearts, there's no need for a temple works and ordinances checklist to figure out who gets to spend eternity with who. That's not a loving, caring, personal Heavenly Father type of God.

I'd also add that the consequences of "families can be together forever" is that my family FREAKED out when I left the church and spent YEARS begging, insisting, and guilting me to come back to the church so that we could "be together forever". That shaming is traumatic for the leaver AND causes untold anxiety and sorrow for the believers where they mourn the death of your eternal soul.
Thank you for talking about the death oaths we made in the temple that so many active members don't even know about...I can't tell you how much psychic energy and pain I have given to questioning myself of how I could have not so much been duped, but how could I have allowed Me to make those oaths?? If nobody else was willing to protect me, why didn't I protect me? Still beating myself up occasionally over that, and then continuing on in it and raising my beautiful children in it. Why, why, why...? Thank you John Dehlin for speaking so truthfully in a not mean way, you are a superman to me

As a non-Mormon I first learned about the Mormon temple ritual of signing with the hands to symbolize slitting the throat and stomach when I read the book "The God Makers" in the mid 1980s. I mentioned this some time later in a conversation with a fellow Air Force Officer who was a Mormon and he said "That is an outright lie!". Well, it turns out after the world was informed of the ritual through the book "The God Makers" ,and the movie by the same name, the Mormon Church removed those rituals so that they could say "we don't do that" . Of course, they never mentioned that they used to do that! It wasn't until I started watching Mormon Stories that I learned the facts about the removal of these Masonic rituals from the temple ceremony.

I was a Mormon. At the time I first went through the temple, the penalties had already been removed from the ceremony. Since we’re not told about the changes in the ceremony (we never talk about the temple, even in our families), I would have absolutely said, “That’s not true!” Because I didn’t know that it was that way before my first exposure to the ceremony. The secrecy around the temple is tenacious, and it’s very possible that as a non-Mormon you know more about the history of the ceremony than a Mormon does. Because also we are taught as Mormons not to view even a little bit of anti-Mormon content. Get all your knowledge directly from the Mormon church.

When I showed a JW at my door a photocopy of one of their incriminating documents he told me it was faked because they are told if they encounter any anti-JW propaganda that it is all manufactured and from Satan.
Almost Mormon here…. Seriously investigated joining. Did all the missionary classes. Then the Cult mom and Chad case hit the news. I started following that case which led me to this channel. I thought the LSD church was just another Christian church but clearly it’s extra….. thus I didn’t join.

It's amazing how little LDS members truly know about their own church. Between Kara, John and the other ex-mormon channels, I've learned more than I ever did sitting in 3 hours of church a week. And I'm very glad my children don't have to be fed all the lies and fabricated history. They'd rock the boat anyway...I've taught them to be free thinkers and seek knowledge for themselves.

Your taught to not look up information from other-than-church sources! That's why most members don't know much about the cult. They only know what the cult wants them to know! That's how they keep membership (and control) of the faithful.
I recommend watching this at least until close to the end when the Jenga tower falls, even though John is sitting there trying to hold it together (which one doesn't do while playing Jenga normally), then he gives up and brushes the rest of the rubble off the table. What a metaphor for a faith transition LOL.
Best episode ever! Getting to hear John Dehlin cover all these important topics in one show where he can talk and not hold back is epic! John always blows me away. I arrived at so many of his same conclusions, after agonizing over the scriptures, praying, scrupulosity and unraveling the programming, with years of tears. I looked at it, for over a decade. I finally came to understand and see exactly what John put so eloquently into words. This is not a God that holds himself to the love he claims it is all about. Then studying church history and discovering the lies of 'the prophets,' finally freed me from it's oppressive control. John is my hero, he does so much good by giving people a way to tell their story, a way use logic and reason, and tons of much needed validation! Cara is able to put hard truths together into words with amazing talent that most people can't do. She cuts to the core of the issue, and reveals what's inside every topic. I love your channel and the guests you have on, revealing truth! Carry on! Cara on! 😁 The Abraham papyrus was the final end for me as well. Well done John and Cara! Thank you!!

I vividly remember as a 5 year old very personable and all believing child while visiting my grandparents in Southern Utah, going to Sunday School and learning about the “mark of Cain”. It felt so wrong at such a young age and it still bothers me at the age of 68 how horrible that statement and memory is. I’m grateful I saw the light and was able to leave the church at a relatively young age. Love this podcast John and Cara. Keep up the great work to enlighten people.

I remember in seminary, the most distressful lesson we ever had was when we were learning about the thee days of darkness in the Book of Mormon. We came in to a room with all the windows covered with paper so no light could get in and was played a track in that darkness of lightning and earthquakes splicing up the main sound on the track which was literally babies crying until Jesus’s voice was heard talking about how we made it for being righteous. Every one of my friends I talked to talked about how incredibly spiritual it was. I was the only one (at least openly) who found it disturbing and did not feel the spirit.
So well said! Carah is better than any modern day prophet. FOLLOW THE CARAH!

Mormon missionaries told me that my previous baptism "didn't count". My husband was raised Mormon but I was not. He is not currently active in the Church but still believes it to be the true church. I was baptized on Easter Sunday at age 14 by my step-grandfather (aka Grandpa) who was a retired Southern Baptist preacher. I was raised in a very dysfunctional & abusive home by alcoholics. I never attended church until my new Grandpa saw my situation then began taking me. He lovingly picked me up every Sunday morning starting at age 12 w/ donuts in hand so that I would have breakfast. He & I would go to the church service & Sunday School together & then out to lunch. (Mostly to Blackeyed Peas restaurant b/c Grandpa loved their sugar snap peas & black eyed peas.) Just the two of us. After this I would go back to he & my step-grandmother's home where I napped on the couch while he watched football. I felt so safe. (The sound of football still makes me sleepy sometimes.) Grandpa had both Parkinson's & a heart condition but was still faithful on Sundays. When I was 15 or 16 his Parkinson's got too bad for him to drive so he let me drive us to church in his car. Such a gentle & loving man. I can't imagine going through life w/out all these Sundays taught me & nourished me. Sundays w/ Grandpa were very, very special. I wish I had more of them. Once Mormon missionaries learned that my husband was a member per se they were always coming by our home. I found it so hurtful when they said that my baptism by a very godly man on Easter Sunday "didn't count" b/c my Grandpa didn't have the priesthood authority. I felt God's presence during that baptism so for me, it counted.

The “personal revelation” talk was great. Never tought about it.
Without the theft and fairytale thinking of these priesthoods they don’t have a cult
Something about personal revelation they didn't touch on was the gaslighting effect of whether or not you get the personal revelation you are "supposed to" get. For example, if you don't get an answer at all or get an answer that's contrary to what the church has deemed the response that makes them right/true, then "you are the problem"; there's something wrong with you. The church can move the goal post all they want with truth claims, etc. but there's no room for the actual members to feel things that don't align. The other thing that is related to that is the fact that they say you have personal revelation, but they also say that "surely the lord god will do nothing save he revealeth his secrets to his servants the prophets". Which one is it? Who does god communicate with and give revelation to again? Individuals, or prophets?
Jonh! I love you! It’s nice to see you supporting people like a father for them. Xoxo from Layton.
I had John's same exact experience when I watched Disney's The Muppets (2011). I remember thinking at the time "that's really too bad that this kids movie gave me just as strong of a feeling (hair raising, goosebumps, a rush of energy through my spine) as my spiritual witness of the Book of Mormon."
This is the first time watching your show and I think it’s great that you are having so much success. It’s wonderful that there is someone like you who is bubbly, playful and presents a little less serious who will attract younger people/families. It’s obvious you are knowledgeable about the church and I enjoy listening to you share your knowledge. Were you angry when you found out the church was based on nothing but lies? Did you go out and do all of the things you had been forbidden to do? I left the church years ago and am so grateful I have access to programs like you and John provide.

My shelf was breaking in highschool while my parents were secretly working through my Dad having an affair and being excommunicated. I was the only one of my siblings who knew. In church one day I realized kind of like John that all the times I thought I felt the "spirit" that I was just feeling love. And I had those same spiritual experiences in my every day life and still do now that I left the church again. Left after highschool. Came back after my divorce. And left again. But I still feel that love every day!
You can only talk about the temple IN the temple. But only in the celestial room of the temple because it's so sacred. But you should also not talk too loud or too much in the celestial room because that's not reverent. You also shouldn't hang out in the celestial room too long... so basically, just don't talk about it. I loved this summary! Thank you, Carah and John!

Question. Exmo for 2 years now and just had this thought. Did the masons ever sue the church for stealing the temple stuff?
How fun to see John on YOUR turf!!!!
Thank you for revealing all these things that the LDS church tries to hide under the banner of "sacredness" and using Jesus Christ as a brand name. I have left the LDS church a long time ago and have found so much joy, rest, security, and FREEDOM in the Biblical Jesus Christ. I am now attending an evangelical born again Christian church and it is the best decision I have ever made in my entire life! Thank you for the good work you both do for society, John Dehlin and Carah Burnell! You have no idea how much amazing impact you guys are making

Me too. 😂 Came across Alyssa Grenfell through the algorithm, then Mormon stories and now so many other ex mormon channels. I even bought Alyssa's book. It's brilliant. Read it cover to cover, and I don't have a religion.
Loved this collab! The topic? YES… But just getting to witness John and Carah’s brilliant minds and wit go at it on screen, is just fun and always enlightening. Thanks guys! I hope this video travels far and wide. Excellent informative piece👌🏻💖

As a Christian, I always love when people portray Jesus as a white man... 🙄🤨 Yet he was from the Middle East... Totally adds up. 🙄
