Compilation: The story of the Mormon Church episodes 1-3 Get $20 off your first order at http://cometeer.com/johnnyharris I’ve made three mini docs about the history of the LDS church, a lot of people were finding them in isolation so we decided to put them together. Check out all my sources for this video here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j3_N2gXrSHflYDlVMZKtx-iMmp3pIKFm9wJeGR22tQg/edit?usp=sharing I've been on a years-long journey to understand the Mormon Church I grew up in. This compilation begins with the organization's origins in upstate New York, explains the wild story of how the Mormons created Utah, and ends with how the church became an almost $300 billion global empire. This is the story of both a unique religious institution, and of my own experience being shaped by that system and wrestling with its teachings.

The coffee ad is perfect for this video
Would love see you on Mormon stories podcast.
The concept of Missouri being the holy land kills me every time I hear about it😂
Who remembers watching the original?
I'm just here to see where Legos fit into this equation.
Utah about to try and get this taken down😭
Joseph Smith wasn't a religious man at all, his only religion was scamming.
bro I literally got an ad for the mormon church before the video, so ironic
Your video "why i left the mormon religion " helped me when i was deconstructing from the jehovah's witnesses
I was raised in the LDS church and despite lots of pressure from my family members, friends, and church leadership, I chose not to be baptized. Still I was very shaped by the primary songs, Wednesday night youth meetups, Super Saturday dances, and seminary before high school. I’m glad I never stopped questioning the inconsistencies and hypocrisies within the church just so I could conform with my peers and appease my family. It’s wonderful to hear your story and it really resonates with me. Thank you for putting out such an honest and personal account of how the LDS church started and became what it is today, and how it shaped people like you and me. Wonderful video, keep up the good work!
"Sugar-coated" is a VERY congenial way of saying total BS and lies. Thank goodness I am free of this cult. 🙏🙏🙏
Getting an ad mid video from Mormon’s was widely ironic
I am a former Mormon. So glad that I escaped from behind the Zion Curtain and left that bizarre cult behind!
Takes great courage to step away from everything you once and everyone else around you stood for
I think the South Park episode did an adequate enough job of that for me. "Dum, dum, dum, dum..."
Oh, the privilege to watch the whole series uninterrupted with mormon ads 😋🍿
This was so inspiring especially to someone who has religious trauma. Thank you so much for posting all 3 videos in one. You are doing amazing thank you Johnny!

There seems to be a lot of similarities between Joseph Smith ,Ron L Hubbard and the prophet Muhammad in how they set up their religions
