What do you believe about the whole Adam-God thing as it relates to Brigham Young's salvation?
I think Brigham Young was trying to get at some point other than the one he got across. What point that was, I have no idea.
(edit: the above quote was from you in my member comments)
I'm an active Mormon and an RM. I'm not speaking out of any kind of ignorance. The video in question was obviously hateful and misleading - but the facts stated were usually either correct with current doctrine, or are at least supported by statements from past church leaders. Have you read Mormon Doctrine, "Answers to Gospel Questions" (by Joseph F Smith), or read much of Brigham Young's discourses?
I'm not exactly anti-Mormon (repeat: I'm an active Mormon), but there's more to the Church than they teach you in Sunday School - and some doctrinal issues are fairly complicated. If you have specific factual objections to the video, please feel free to post them, but I don't think it does anyone any good to say it's all lies when it's mostly true.
It's like the South Park Mormon episode. I had a lot of friends who complained about the stones in the hat. "That's not how it went!!!" they said. Well, yes, it was done like that sometimes. A lot of people were mad at South Park, when instead perhaps they should have been lamenting that they were learning about their religion from it.
At the end of the day all religions are creations of man, not the creation of God. Thus they are wrong. I too am being 100%.
There is no way anyone can convince anyone else that the Bible or any scripture is made by God.

So, you agree with me that the only similarities have to do with flak from others.
Is that so much more different than the accounts of Moses claiming to part the Red Sea, or Noah building an arc? Why is it okay for some to claim to have received the word of God 2000 years ago, and not okay for them to say they received the word of God yesterday?
I'm being 100% serious.

L. Ron Hubbard makes shit up about Xenu, DC-10s, thetans and all that good stuff.
Joseph Smith makes shit up about getting golden plates from an Angel. Oh and Jesus visited America, multiple gods and worlds. Oh by the way they also have modern prophets whose official statements become official canon.
I was relating them as two relatively modern belief systems with questionable origins. Not directly.
In reply to this comment by deedub81:
What's questionable about Mormonism as it relates to Scientology? I fail to see any similarities, other than the amount of scrutiny the two receive.
Scientology has a known history of abuse, illegal activity, and motives for world domination, for lack of a better term.
Where are the parallels?
In reply to this comment by Farhad2000:
You sound like a nice person whose trying to defend a religion that has questionable origins and backgrounds.
It's like Scientology. Also based on questionable facts, but am sure there are some nice folks who practice it.
I don't really understand what you mean by anti-Mormon propaganda, I would love if you could show me some sources.

I also really love this version for different reasons (because the backup singers are better and because it's live. And I like the tempo and especially the tempo changes for dramatic effect.):

...but I thought that the black and white Paul Robeson version is much more authentic, sincere, musical, and all-around awesome. And the solo vocals are better, obviously.
In reply to this comment by deedub81:
This was the song I performed at my first vocal recital!
Watching Paul Robeson brings tears to my eyes. He's so good. You can just feel his emotions through the screen.
I've watched this 3 times now.
Can't you just hear me singing along with it now?
Love it. Good find, thepinky. *3

You downvoted my comment on this video, and then you elaborated on the same point I was making.

Alienation does not elicit the truthtelling. Unfalsifiable stories are easily fabricated. Torture does not work. A slow process of building rapport does work.

From Wikipedia: Pornography or porn is the explicit depiction of sexual subject matter, especially with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer.

fyi dita von teese video is not porn

This isn't porn? Hmmm.
You're not an ignoramous, though. You know what women's suffrage is. If you had never heard the term before, say, you had always heard it called "a woman's right to vote," and someone came up to you with a camera asking you to sign a petition to end it, wouldn't you assume that women's suffrage was something negative? And some people know that it is associated in some way with voting rights, but they think it is the opposite.
And who's to say that those guys didn't meet more girls who knew what suffrage is and just didn't put them in the video? Psh.
The real reason that I hate that video is because by making the video, those guys were trying to make some kind of statement, and I just wonder what statement they were trying to make. I don't think it is a good one.

If you would have read my previous comment, that's exactly what I said. So go give Kulpims a high five for agreeing with me.

kulpims! blam! blam! blam! blam! QUADRUPLE HIT SUPERCOMBO!
The nice americans give the nasty americans support to go rape other countries.
What the nice americans SHOULD be saying is "That's illegal. Stop that immediately. People are dying."
but no, they go on and on about "helping" some more.
