Mormon Youtube Videos

a work-in-progress

There are countless youtube videos that deal with Mormonism available on the Internet. Some are informative, some are funny, some are faith-promoting and many are enlightening. A list of the EXmormon Foundation video presentations for 2008 and 2009 are available at their website. Here is a collection of videos available on the Internet that we especially liked.

SHORT VIDEOS

Book of Mormon Translation. This 4 minute video is a sensitive introduction to the Book of Mormon translation process. It is not anti-Mormon and is very factual. Can be shared with faithful members. This was produced by some friends of MormonThink. Thanks for the plug.

Kinderhook Plates. This 5 minute video gives a brief synopsis of the Kinderhook Plates problem. Although it takes a jab at apologist Daniel Peterson, it also presents accurate info on the Kinderhook Plates issue. This was produced by some friends of MormonThink. Thanks for the plug.

Mitt Romney denies the First Vision. This includes a clip from Mitt Romney from 2008 when he said he wasn't aware of God talking with anyone since Moses. It sounds like Mitt forgot about the First Vision or was ashamed of talking about it.

LONG VIDEOS (or multiple parts)

Top 10 Mormon Problems Explained. For those who have been wanting a good, modern, detailed, youtube video that explains the top problems of the Mormon Church, it has arrived. The following video introduces the Top 10 Problems of the Mormon Church. It's a long video at 1 hr and 21 min but it's easy to watch yet provides just enough detail to introduce each of 10 serious problems in the LDS church. It's not anti-Mormon at all yet plainly explains the top issues that critics have with the church. Think of it as a modern replacement for the Godmakers but something you might be more comfortable sharing with friends and family.

Lying for the Lord. This was a presentation by former CES teacher Ken Clark that he gave at the 2008 Exmormon Foundation conference. Ken is a great presenter and made the presentation very funny, interesting and informative. It is shown on youtube in 10 parts. Part one is here. Or can be be viewed via Stream Now. The links to all parts on youtube can be found here as well information on the presenter.

Why People Leave the LDS Church, And How We Can Help. This nearly hour-long video was produced by John Dehlin and gives a good summary of why people leave the church and what members and the church can do to help people stay in the church. Not anti at all.

Chased out of Mormonism. This was a presentation by former member Lyndon Lamborn that he gave at the 2008 Exmormon Foundation conference. Lyndon did an excellent job recapping his unique journey out of Mormonism. It's entertaining and informative. It is shown on youtube in six parts. Part one is here. Or can be be viewed via Stream Now. The links to all parts on youtube as well as Lyndon's other videos and writings, including the video of his actual excommunication, go here.

Joseph Smith's Language Problems. This was a presentation by former member Richard Packham that he gave at the 2009 Exmormon Foundation conference. Richard is a brilliant man and a continually requested speaker at the ExMormon conferences. Richard has a vast knowledge of languages and linguistics. That, coupled with his knowledge of the LDS Church and it's detailed history, gives Richard perhaps a unique perspective of the linguistic problems in Mormonism that very few members know the extent of. It's informative and pretty humorous as well. It is shown on youtube in ten parts. Part one is here. Richard's popular website is here.

Authorship - Who really wrote the Book of Mormon. This was a presentation by Craig Criddle, Ph. D that he gave at the 2009 Exmormon Foundation conference. Craig is one of the experts on the Spalding theory which gives an alternative explanation to the origins of the Book of Mormon. He is famous (or infamous) for his essay Sidney Rigdon: Creating the Book of Mormon. Craig's presentation was really well done. It is informative and the best one we've ever seen on this subject. It is shown on youtube in ten parts. Part one is here. Craig's continual work is here.
