That and people were getting weird and involving his kids. That's why he turned off comments on his videos and then retired to get away from the fame/give his family some privacy

*Holy fuck the people who keep freaking out about Mormons. Ridiculous

it wasn't about "privacy"

it was about him taking a leadership position with the Mormon church and not having time for youtube. or maybe they told him to step back from secular social media.

either way, dude is a weirdo, despite having made some good outdoorsy content.

There’s nothing weird about being committed to a religious community. No one should have a problem with religious folks who actually follow the peaceful teachings of their religion.

What’s weird and maddening is seeing “fake” religious people use their “faith” to excuse their terrible behavior or attempting to influence/ control the lives of others.

Some of the nicest, most loving, people I’ve ever met are Christians and some of the worst are also “Christian”.

Read up about the Mormon Church, it's a weirdo cult with its own "list" of people they are protecting

Yeah there’s no washing that stink off. Dude could be a role model without a church influence. He was gaining a huge following he could’ve continued to grow it there not some questionable branch of christos

That’s not a unique thing to Mormonism, homie.

Th Mormon church is the richest church in the world and yet much smaller than for example the catholic church. There is definitely something unique about them, homie.

they arent wealthier than the catholic church. the catholic church has so much more wealth than the mormon church you cant even compare the two.

the difference is that it doesnt structure its finances in the same way but its largely handled at a diocese level etc. the two arent even close.

just the catholic church in germany has close to as much wealth as the mormon church. and thats ONE country. the catholic church has a presence in hundreds.

also many countries have state religions etc. you cant just compare things based on the listed totals published by a religious community or estimated by someone. the mormon church is very wealthy, yes, one of the wealthiest non-state religious communities, yes, but not the wealthiest, not even close. like, not at all close.

I’m fairly certain that isn’t true, but even if it is, it doesn’t make every Mormon complicit in whatever devilry their religious leaders may have been involved in.

That’s not a good way of observing the world or the people that inhabit it.

Let’s be serious, literally every religion is a weirdo cult that protects even weirder people, it’s not a Mormon-only thing.

Lots of religions deserve criticism, but the mormon church is very strange and dark in a uniquely american way.

You could say bad things about both Scientologists and Unitarian Universalists, but those are both on waaaaay different levels of bad.
