Being raised a member of the LDS church (Mormon), it was only recently that I learned about many of the criticisms facing the church and its claims. This blog is a look and exploration of these criticisms and the reasons why I went from being a true believer to an Ex-Mormon. As of 8/10/2009, I no longer consider myself a member of the LDS church.
I think this is more representative of Scientologists and maybe the Unification Church? The extreme portrayal of cults in this video, I think, don't quite match Mormonism...early mormonism maybe...but not now, surely?
That was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI can already see the parallels in the Mormon cult. I am glad I am out of there. I renounced my membership 2 years ago and never looked back!

ReplyDeleteNathan,
ReplyDeleteYou are probably correct, although I think any organization has some cult-like characteristics, the current LDS church included.
I took a CPR class and can see many similar traits in the Red Cross.
I think this is more of a funny and entertaining way of looking at human behavior.
I agree that the extreme portrayal of cults in the video doesn't completely match Mormonism, especially modern Mormonism.
This video is kind of awsome, but also scary.
