A lot of us read *more*, studied *more*, prayed *more* and did everything tighter, desperately seeking what we needed to sustain.
And found it all lacking.
The mental gymnastics it takes can be intense.
Melissa Holiday how long were you in the church. You know they called me an alcoholic and I drink twice a month and I still drink tea and coffee and drink soda.
@@ml.vaughn2122 horrible!
For your teeth...... and that's about it. 😆😆
Literally cried and knelt till I bruised my knees looking for answers. Nothing, NOTHING was worse than the feeling of receiving nothing from a Heavenly Father I truly believed loved me.
Also CAN WE JUST ACKNOWLEDGE how ridiculously the word “blessings” is thrown around? When I went on a mission, I had my bishop, stake president, and lots of other people promising me and my non-member family all these blessings of me leaving.
While I was gone, my mom’s illness worsened, my brother who had gotten clean from drugs went back on them and was living on the streets, my grandma (basically my best friend) who I lived with for a time passed away, and I got very ill for about 6 months of my mission including stomach ulcers and severe depression(which of course they put me on meds for that I’m still stuck on.) My mission president told me I shouldn’t go home because I just couldn’t yet see the blessings and I just needed to have more faith. That feeling sad about my grandmother were feelings coming from Satan and I needed to just commit to being a missionary. (?) Bullshit. It’s all bullshit. I regret every single day not coming back to say goodbye to my grandma when she was asking for me.
These are things I will never get back from the church.
Megan Brown it’s a year late but I’m so sorry for your loss and all that hardship I am currently trying to transition out I told my mom today ( my family is all Mormon) and she took it pretty well it could of been worse she said the typical you’re being tempted by the devil and said my phone was corrupting me and I was so sad when I figured all this out that the church wasn’t true I was laying on the bathroom floor bawling my eyes out begging and pleading with the lord for it not to be true but I got no answer and I new the things I was seeing were true but just growing up in the church it is so hard because that’s what you have known your whole life and it hurts it really does and makes me so angry that someone would just make this up and so many people are suffering from it including my parents it’s like a fiscal pain
I fairly recently left the church and got my records removed, and this channel has helped me deal with my anger and feelings of betrayal in a healthier way. I don’t have any exmormon friends who were TBM’s at some point, like I was- so I feel very alone in my anger and feelings of betrayal. Hearing you two say things I feel, but don’t dare to say is really really helpful. Thank you. Something that also helps me is using BOM pages to roll a joint 🔥
Ah, thank you for this lovely comment! It’s so good to hear we could help in some way! Sending you lots of love as you continue your journey 💜
mary jane Me too. Sending lots of love your way💜💜
Having been a father raising my sons, I have never pulled away from my sons even when I was peed on, pooped on, thrown up on, when they had temper tantrums and said they hated me, didn’t listen to me or did the exact opposite of what I said, In fact all of these actions brought me ever closer to my sons. A good father does not ignore his children even when they misbehave. I lost my testimony at age 50 and kept going to church till age 59, listening to the same dogma on a weekly basis which I knew in my hart was not true caused to be inactive. The idea that god is so shallow that he cuts his ties and blessings just because his children disagree with him goes against the grain of what it means to be a good father.
Thank you. For sharing.
I was justing going through the comments and I really needed to hear this.
You are quite witty. I wish I was as witty. I am going to pray for more wittyness. Great video.
Hopefully it's one of the few prayers God has time to answer!
u don t need god to answer that prayer. go use your witness on some christians.
The key word by billy grey was "WITTY-NESS", not "witness".
Do you comprehend the difference?
IOW.
The sentence subject, by jwebb, was the word "WITTY".
Billy grey constructed a PUN using the word "witty"...a play on words.
You seem to be marginally intelligent and shouldn't need this explained.
this reads like a trump quote
After I stopped attending church I had my spiritual experiences, these protected me, warned me and comforted me. Never once did I feel the need to go back. I felt more love and connection in the sunshine and nature then in a starchy building...
I realize I’m commenting on a 3 year old video, but what can I say, I’m doing a Zelph deep dive. 😂
In some ways this totally skewed perspective from Meridian makes sense. There is such a huge taboo against members telling each other about their doubts that most of the time, people just leave without telling their entire ward why. I know in my case, even my close friends at church didn’t want to hear my reasons. The result is that they see these behaviors that occur AFTER leaving the church: no longer attending, breaking commandments like the WoW, not reading the scriptures - and assume those actions are what led us out, rather than the natural aftermath of not believing anymore.
Omg vintage Zelph haha
Oh snap, I forgot my covenants. If only covenants came in the form of a billion year contract, it would be so much easier to remember them.
"I'd rather end up in the Terrestrial Kingdom with the good bands and the witches" LOL! I saw this article on Facebook but I purposefully didn't read it in the hopes that you were going to cover it, and BOOM! Tender mercies and answers to prayers! :) I much prefer to let you guys read and respond and I can just be along for the ride.
I scored a 2. I guess my big mistake was #1 not reading the Book of Mormon every day, so that I could really dig into the Bible. And #7 I allowed myself to listen to secular Biblical scholars like Bart Ehrman. Oops! Although its been the hardest thing in my life, I wouldn't trade my "waking up" for anything. Keep up the great work guys!
Kendall Woffinden A 2?! NICE! You beat us!
One of my maxims: "If you have to work excessively in order to maintain a belief, it's probably BS."
@@towardcivicliteracy Scientists don't work to maintain belief. They work to find evidence and change their beliefs according to it.
@@towardcivicliteracy physicists dont have beliefs. They have evidence, hypotheses, data, observations, and then use that to create accurate models of the world that can be tested and used to make predictions. No "belief" involved
I want to be best friends with them so badly. 😂 This channel is where i go when i need comfort or a good laugh. Thank you
I had a missionary that stopped me on the street ask me "if someone told you the new prophet had been found, would you believe him?"
"No."
"You're a hard one."
What?
Hahaha
Find salvation through Jesus, only. No other prophet.
THATS WHAT SHE SAIDDDDD
"We love EVERYONE! But we hate you if you're not part of the church! And we advise our members to stay away. But PLEASE join!!!" - Mormon leaders.
I read the BOM three times. Could NEVER bare testimony to its validity. The thing that pulled me away was being treated like crap because I am autistic and was not at the same mental and maturity stage as everyone else in my age group. I was literally kicked out of my favorite Sunday school class because I was two years older than everyone. By kicked out, I was not just simply asked to leave, the teacher wouldn't even let me into the fucking class! When I was 22, I came out as transgender and began to socially transition, THAT is when things got BAD. I was shunned by ward members, temple recommend taken away several times for truly ridiculous reasons. Disrespected by everyone. But the worst part is what everyone would tell me about my eternal gender and all that shit. I felt completely worthless. Like my being born was a mistake. I tried to kill myself twice before I finally was able to realize what this cult was doing to me. I'm SO GRATEFUL I found people who could help me leave!
I know its been a year since you posted this but I'm happy for you. I hope you're doing well now too.
1: I was raised in it but it wasn't until the last few years before I left that I got really really good at reading my scriptures every single day and actually reading the book of mormon cover to cover multiple times. My book of mormon study was at its peak when I left.
2.never went through the temple but I had a list of my baptismal covenants that I read almost every day for the last year or so before I left.
3. I didn't listen to anyone who had left the church till after I already did
4. I have never prayed harder in my life for God to help me be faithful then I did for the months leading up to me leaving the church.
5. I attended church even after I left at first
6. I listened to general conference the most attentively I had ever done in my life for the last 2 or so years leading to my leaving plus reading old conference talks regularly throughout the year. I even listened to conference after working a 12 hour night shift knowing I had to work another one the following night and I STAYED AWAKE. I also listened to conference after leaving and to this day will read certain conference talks.
7. Eh sort of... I liked other religions and science and they didn't fit in the mormon box. But when I left, I left because I wanted to follow what I felt was gods will for me... so even though I was terrified of my family's reaction, I "feared" what I believed to be God more.
8. I have never been more grateful to "god" and saw better the blessings in my life then the day I realized I needed to leave.
Y'all should do a podcast. I would listen to that every day of my life.
The idea of "loosing" one's "testimony" is quite literally a scare tactic.
B McD losing
Because nothing says we have the unquestionable, unchangeable, time tested, holy/pure, divinely authored truth quite like saying you do and sticking your fingers in your ears and walking away from the conversation.
SO TRUE. Refusing to engage with or acknowledge the other side doesn't make you stronger.
I tried to comment on the article directly to the authors. Even being cordial/kind in disagreement will get you censored. They seem to only want to publish comments that are in 100% agreement, except for one which they tried to make an example out of. Only bad ideas require censorship to survive.
"They seem to only want to publish comments that are in 100% agreement"
Welcome to North Korea and Totalitarianism , Mormon style.
I'm glad you are still around Elder Joseph. I remember you were active in the North of England, nearly converted to mormonism...but then converted to anti-mormonism.
Yes, Leeds England Mission. It's been a comedy hobby pursuit ever since.
Since I gave up on it back in 2007, there has been quite a surge in Former TBM Mormons speaking out ( as you know). It's quite incredible.
One of my missionaries from that time has since revealed his own disbelief in it. He was the most intelligent one I came across. The missionaries were generally just good kids, though a bit juvenile and naive as to the real LDS history.
There is a 'Satan' comment in the area book so future missionaries don't seek me out and discover real LDS history and doctrine! haha
this is my first video of yours that I've seen! this is amazing. the part about praying desperately and wanting to have any sort of sign hit home hard.
I've often been surprised by people not seeing the parallels of cults and the church. I thought that was a great point.
I'm comfortable enough with myself that I'm okay with Mormons thinking that I'm lesser than them for leaving. The freedom and happiness are worth the judgment.
1. I still read the Book of Mormon at times, often when I read lord of the rings or king of thrones. An average fiction with some merit.
2. Fuck covenants. ‘Hey kids, make promises you don’t understand and most importantly, make bold assertions that we pressure you into, infront of your peers’
3. Yes. I love listening to ex Mormons. Support when leaving cults can be life saving. It’s revealing that the church doesn’t want you to be supported through a transition that can be so traumatic that many commit suicide. True colours show when you walk out the door of organisations. No ‘thank you for your service of many years and hundreds of thousands of dollars’.
4. Replacing praying with simple breathing and meditation was super amazing for me. Realising that I felt better by meditating without saying anything in my mind, was a great moment. The fear driven internal dialogue that I seemed to regurgitate in the simple process of prayers, talking to an invisible person that can smite you down has so much harmful consequences.
5. I always hated going to church. Boring AF. Judgey and self
righteous old people. Gossip clubs. Dressing up excuse for some people.
6. Hypnotic misogynistic culty slow speaking old dudes. I miss the music
though.
7. Intellectual dishonesty is what the Mormon church is on. If you can say you know something that you don’t know, they’ve got you. Fear merchants. Fucking disgusting how the church promotes ignorance over solid scientific findings and lieing to protect the church.
8. Like slave owners that made their slaves sing and dance to show their gratitude for getting fed and clothed. Stockholm syndrome is real. Constructed gratitude is one of the most manipulative tools with abusers.
The church is getting unravelled quickly. It’s going down. Science is beautiful.
8/8 for me.
It suddenly happened with me... Googled "How did Mormon polygamy start?" Gone
This is a great channel. It is wonderful to have access to this content through any web device. The church always warns against PEER PRESSURE. Yet, the church's best tool is its own peer pressure over you. This channel, for those who feel the church is bogus, contrasts well the social binding that church members while in church.
I remember wanting it all to be true. But real truth is solid as a rock. The church wasn’t.
You guys have made me believe in Santa Claus again. Can't wait for the presents.
You Guys are so smart, and Frickin Adorable!! Love your Videos..Thanks..From an Ex-Mormon like you!
You guys are spot on. Why do people assume the worst of others when they finally have there eyes opened? Aren't they sinners as well for judging those who have left the faith?
I'm actually shocked that one of the "things" was failure to pay tithing. My whole life it seems like THAT was the answer to any spiritual ill...PAY YOUR TITHING. I figured it was because the bottom line for the church is money.
Ex-Mormon here. Really enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work. Subscribed!
Truth does not need belief to exist. Only lies require belief to exist.
I’m late to the party! Lol
Great movie. I would say my apostasy started when I realized how much more I could do over conference weekend when I wasn’t sitting through mind-numbing indoctrination.
Why do people fall asleep? It’s because nothing interesting is being taught. It’s the same subjects and stories retold ad nauseam.
The world and the people in it are
vastly more exciting than listening to geriatric strangers who live in comfortable isolation of their ivory towers.
What I love the most about Tannor and Samantha is when they laugh! I'T'S PRICELESS! Susan
My best friend was still in the church when I met her 22 years ago. I had been out for 6 years at that point. She took my hand and happily skipped into the fantasy of outer darkness with me.
Omg you both are hair goals af! Short, long, braided or free flowing it all looks stylish :) 💖
I was reading the Book of Mormon when it hit me “OMG!!! This is a TERRIBLE book! Why is it SO negative! Where are the parts I am supposed to love?!”
Love this video so much! Keep making great content! ❤
1. Reading the Book of Mormon: I hadn't been reading the BoM much. However, after I stopped believing, I listened to My Book of Mormon Podcast.
2. Forgot my Covenants: Didn't make temple covenants so I'm good.
3. Listening to those who have left: I guess a bit, although I didn't really start reading exmormon until after I stopped believing.
4. Cease praying to remain faithful: I guess. I prayed to know what's true, so that led me the fuck away from the church.
5. Stopped going to church: Guilty.
6. Don't listen to general conference: Not guilty. Always listened to that.
7. Listen to the philosophies of men: Gaining a psychological and sociological perspective? Yup.
This is SOOOO wrong and SOOOOOO culty, dear LORD. Meridian Magazine: Speading Stupidity.
I guess if you are determined to leave the church, any excuse will do.
On #2 you forgot they make you covenant(usually as early as possible so you don't know what you are getting at, so hopefully at 8) to get into the church. And each week you are supposed to renew that covenant with the sacrament.
I can't imagine an eternity without coffee!
i can. it would be about the same as now but without caffeine. which for me would be good. i can t imagine eternity without someone thinking caffeine is so great.
got an ad for LDS business college hahahha
theatergirl713 You should go!
the church that is false, but they do give a good education, as long as u don't need anything to tell you the church is false. so might be a good idea.
I don't give Joseph Smith as much credit. I really think that whenever he had some shitty problem in his life, he just wrote about it in whatever scripture he wanted to and then was like, "LOOK. SEE?? GOD SAID NOT TO DO THAT."
It's more obvious in the D&C when he literally rebukes people that he doesn't like and then says it's from God.
Anyway you guys are super funny. I love watching your videos, you guys!
JOSEPH REBUKES ALL AMERICANS WHO ARE NOT LDS! JOSEPH REBUKES ALL THINKERS
Still off in the weeds, young padawan.
Hilarious and informative as always. Thanks guys!!
I do want to credit the Mormon missionaries for helping guide me to a greater understanding to know that the church doesn't have a monopoly on truth.
Samantha I could not agree with you more about the prayer one. It broke my heart when I realized that I had doubts as to the truth of the church. I prayed and prayed and felt heartbroken it wasn't true. I got a 0 I was a hardcore Mormon until I learned the truth. I am happy to be out now but wow it was a hard process to lose my faith. I wanted it to be true but it's just not.
1. i never read it growing up in the church unless i had to with my family. i just didn't like doing it lol
2. never made temple covenants
3. never did that until i stopped believing myself
4. i literally prayed so much back when i was struggling, begging for some kind of answer or confirmation that it was true
5. i still go to church bc i'm an in-the-closet ex mormon. every time i go it makes me want to leave even more :-)
6. for the most part i always listened, and even as an exmo i still watched last october
7. guilty
8. what lord?
i think i got 2 points lol
Find salvation through Jesus, only. No other prophet.
Lets see how I did:
1. They stop reading the Book of Mormon. No, at the time I was reading it as much as ever, which is to say, too much.
2. They forget their covenants. No, I kept those until after I disbelieved.
3. They listen to those who have left the Church. Nope. I literally knew just two people who had left the church and I never even talked to them. I didn't even read what ex-Mormons wrote at that time.
4. They cease praying to stay strong and faithful. No- this one is the opposite of correct. I always prayed when I was a member, and prayed often, but I prayed more than ever when I was losing my faith. In fact, I am awarding this negative one point.
5. They stop going to Church. Nope. Not until after I stopped believing did I stop going to church.
6. They don’t listen to General Conference. No. I always listened to conference, and then later read it over again.
7. They listen to the philosophies of men above the teachings of the prophets. Nope. I put it all together for myself that the teachings of the prophets were self-contradictory.
8. They fail to acknowledge the Lord’s blessings. Can't say this one is true, because I always was appreciative of the blessings I had and still have. I no longer attribute these things to a deity, but I certainly did at the time that I lost my faith.
Total score: minus one point. This article is actually worse than 100% inaccurate.
This was posted years ago. But I wanted to chime in. I made the decision to leave the LDS Church 6 months ago. It was however two years in the making: studying, discussing, praying, searching, and struggling.
You know what finally did me in? My understanding of the Mormon doctrine. I grew to love the concept of real and true charity as taught in Moroni and Ecclesiastes. I loved the ideas of what the Articles of Faith taught. The fact is, the "Priesthood leaders" of the Church don't even follow the doctrine of D&C 121, to say the very least. Why would I continue being actively engaged in a corporation disguised as a church that acts against its own scripture or teachings? That actively keeps men in power that use their ecclesiastical authority to abuse Church members? That actively ask members to endanger themselves during a pandemic so that they don't have to spend any amount of their billions on employing insured and professional custodians?
It was the Church leaders' actions and words that lead me out, especially with their responses on sexual abuse reports this summer. It definitely was not this "Satan" dude, unless we can agree that the leadership of the Church practices evil ways.
Tanner is looking super fresh in this video!
At age five, my sister told me Santa Claus isn't real. Half hour later she's asking, "Mommy, what's Santa Claus bringing me for Christmas?"
I love the term "falling away". In my misspent youth we used the phrase "drifting away". However, as my dear Uncle Ted used to say, "I didn't drift, I walked away"! The problem, of course is that the official entities of the Mormon Church (sorry Dr. Nelson, I think the term Mormon is still alright and in no way offensive) have allowed themselves to fall into the morass of rote repetition to such a point that they now believe too much in their own publicity. That is dangerous when inevitably empirical facts and events contradict the official line. Thank goodness you two approach all of this with intelligent humor.
1 point with me.
1: Kept reading the BoM, unlike most I actually thought about things like they ask you too.
2: Kept morning covenants and would go to the temple every 2 weeks as a goal.
3: I didn’t read any anti Mormon subjects, I didn’t leave because of anything anti Mormon, it was thinking and learning science.
4: Absolutely wrong, I wanted the church to be true more than anything and I kept praying and praying and nothing happened.
5: Man, even though I made the conscious decision a year and a half ago that it wasn’t true, and I’m still going because others don’t know.
6: I listen, but now I get more frustrated than anything due to all the fallacies and teachings that actively harm.
7: Yeah, I listened and thought and learned. Hell, God is intelligence, so I used that to justify learning as much as I could. That is what drove me away I guess. I concede.
8. Nope, kind of redundant though, wasn’t this covered by the praying. I learned that a prayer is not a prayer without thanks.
I love how I got an add on this video to talk to lds missionaries
I got 0 points, woot woot, at first I was gonna say I got a point for number 7 because I have listened to actual statistics and facts that contradict the teachings of the church but then I realized that when I first had my question I searched and searched and searched the church's website, gospel library, the scriptures, read so many general conference talk and ensign articles about the subject just looking for an actual answer that made sense. I asked my seminary teacher, my bishop, my Sunday school teacher, our ward's missionaries, I read the whole book of mormon twice and doctrine and Covenants once while looking for an answer to this question, I talked to so many people in the church, watching so many sessions of general conference, just sitting there, waiting, for them to finally answer my question. It wasn't until I had done all this that I started looking elsewhere for an answer and got an answer that actually made sense.
You guys are right on about everything, keep it up!
Omg! I’m so happy I don’t have to sit through the drama of testimony meeting ever again! Lol
Pausing at 9:38 to imagine mormons all over the US walking around with their fingers in their ears, going "la la la la". No don't ever engage in conversation with someone who holds a different belief. Good grief! You might actually learn something. How terrible would that be?!?
"Yeah, there's no mention here of how people who fall away have, at some point, screamed to heaven looking for answers, have got down on their knees in a public place weeping, just wanting to know. It's like you have no idea what people go through."
I don't know, maybe Meridian Magazine actually does have a way to know what every single person prays about./s
Just found your channel and I'm binge watching the whole thing now. I'm a new college student and ex mormon and this is so comforting. On your site, I saw the article "why I'll never regret being Mormon" but the link isn't working (www.whatsoeverisgood.com/why-ill-never-regret-being-mormon/). I would so love to read the article though!
I've had that exact conversation with my grandmother several times (7:00)
If you can't stand being in a room full of Mormons what are your thoughts on their new 'Residential Communities' planned to be put around some of the newer temples?
Jana Reiss and John Dehlin give the real facts on why people leave the church.
I’m with Tanner on being in the telestial kingdom. I get to be with my family, friends (I was the only convert in my family), the cool bands, all the awesome exmos including Tanner and Samantha. I’d prefer that over being in the celestial kingdom with a load of self righteous Mormons and to be a baby making machine in the afterlife. No thanks Mormons.
Love this video! So true. Jesus is only true in Christianity. Whoever believes in Him shall be saved. Jesus is the son of God and His atonement was met on the cross at Calgary!
If you want an unredacted copy of Lucy's bio of her son, find Sandra Tanner and Utah Lighthouse ministries, she's on CZcams.
Tanner looks amazing with both long and short hair.
People deserve to be free and the pursuit of happiness, our constitution gaurantees it. Susan
RE: COVENANTS:
A "covenant" is a contract...an agreement to perform as per the covenant. The 2nd party to the contract (covenant) agrees (promises) to perform their obligations under the same covenant (contract).
In my temple covenant, I agreed to do the things stipulated by the 2nd party to the contract.
Trouble came as I began to realize the the entity I made the contract with was not performing their obligations stipulated to under that covenant (agreement).
On the other hand, I was rigorously upholding MY obligations under the agreement as best I could...but began noticing that the other party was not following through with their side of the bargain.
IOW, it was clear to me that the entity that I had covenanted with was and had been for years, defaulting on their agreement.
IOW...THEY BREACHED THE CONTRACT!!
So, I reciprocated and quit performing my obligations---and I officially renounced the contract (resigned) based on a *failure to perform* by the other party.
Find salvation through Jesus, only. No other prophet.
5:55 YES, I remember so many times where TBM's will talk about how weird Jehovah's witness', scientology and others are despite the similarities.
great breakdown
You two are great!
I love y’all.
I watch your videos over and over...great entertainment, CZcams and the new technology is so cool
I love the picture of the house of parliament in the background.
I'm not gay or anything but Tanner, you're looking good man!
Isn't it amazing how every cult is the same? Replace the specific mormom terms with apostolic pentecostal jargon and I feel like this is my mom reading me for being a backslider.
Lol...no wonder I was so brainwashed! I read the Book of Mormon every day!
I know the church is true, I know the church is true, I know the church is true. 😂🤣😂
5. They stop going to church.
Sounds like a fun place.
Daily reading if the book of BORING is the greatest waste of time ever. Better to practice stoicism and work on what you can control.
When Mormons mention heaven, it means the temple.
I am getting ready to leave the church. Mainly because God has come to me on my dreams and the holy ghost has talked to me but never ever heard from jesus christ
My favorite decoration of yours is the nerf gun in the basket. Fantastic.
I'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints too 💛🧡❤😁💜💚💙
I love you guys.
I do agree Joseph Smith must’ve been a charismatic guy for sure
All 8 of these apply to me, granted, I've hated the church since I was about 5. I guess I am exactly what Mormons think exmormons are like.
God Damnit I got 0 too. I didn't pray before, so I guess I should have.
They break the first of the ten commandments when they put the church and church membership above God and the universe.
I left because I'm queer and the church is against me.
3/8...
I stopped reading the BoM Because I knew the historical errors were too much. (And It's was Really boring after the 20th time)
Never got endowed, but did not stop going to church until i resigned.
I did listen to apostates (CES Letter, Mormon stories, and You Guys) because i was not afraid of having my views challnged.
I kept praying until the end.
I watched Conference, listened to talks until the end.
I did listen to those pesky philosophies of man (Yeah! Science!)
Towards the end, the only faith i had was in the Lord's blessings and gratitude.
So that's less than half right for them. F-!
lmaoo i keep getting mormon.org ads before your videos
you had a Snuffer phase? Have you told about this anywhere in an audio format. I can read, but like audio.
We talk about it in our Mormon Stories interview!
czcams.com/video/6JlvQVNY550/video.html
But, I actually like potatoes and oranges....♥️🥔🍠🍊♥️
I’m in the mood to watch Zorro for some reason, lol.
How sad is it that "Satan" seems to be far more powerful than the supposedly omnipotent invisible cloud-dwelling wizard? Based on all the "prayers" I see that are absolutely not answered I have to wonder if "He" has any power at all...or is real. LOL
So what was the reason you left? Sorry, if you've addressed this before, I'm newish to your channel.
4 🤷♀️
Trust me. I never ever wanted to believe the church wasn't true! Haha people be crazy!
fear man more than God. Yes. Man is more dangerous.
You guys are like if Paul and Morgan were hotter and more logical
Do you really hate oranges?
I think you are both intellectuals and were too smart for it after a while.
