This is not a hate video.It’s an attempt to engage honestly with the arguments being made.In this long‑form discussion, we examine:Whether criticizing Mormonism constitutes “hate” or legitimate scrutinyThe difference between testimony, feelings, and evidenceWhy former members continue speaking out after leavingThe moral and historical record of the LDS ChurchTrauma, indoctrination, authority, and the cost of silenceWhy truth claims must meet the same evidentiary standards as everything else in lifeThis video addresses Mormonism’s:Racism, sexism, and polygamyTreatment of LGBTQ+ peopleFinancial secrecy and hoardingShifting doctrines and prophetic failuresSupernatural claims that fail independent verificationIf the Church’s claims are true, investigation should not threaten them.Truth does not fear questions.This conversation is not about clout, bitterness, or tearing people down—it’s about whether an institution that demands obedience, money, identity, and loyalty can actually justify those demands with evidence.If you want my trust, devotion, or morality, feelings and testimony aren’t enough.Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: [email protected] Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
