      @@ZelphOntheShelf Thank you for the clarification! I really appreciate you even taking the time to respond! I agree that the Israeli government and military have totally lost their way and must be stopped and brought to justice ASAP. Apologies in advance for the long comment this is about to be; I understand if you can't read it but I do appreciate it if you do. I am asking in good faith, because I really respect you guys and appreciate all you do - is the same call-out of disdain for the environment and the land applicable to Hamas and the PIJ, in your eyes? They do a lot of bombing and setting things on fire as well. Or Hezbollah, who set the North of Israel on fire via bombing? [This of course does not absolve Israeli gov't/military of its own crimes.] Also, who exactly is lacking stories that connect them to the land? I agree that we need to value indigenous and land-connected stories and practices. It seems to me that there is a wide, deep misunderstanding of Jewish practice, which is more land-based than people realize, because Christianity appropriated and "universalized" it, which sucks for us :') People only remember the God & magic & smiting parts, unfortunately. I know this sounds combative; I promise this is good faith, I just would like to understand where you all are coming from because I have seen a lot of really harmful rhetoric, dehumanization, and misrepresentation of Judaism, from folks who make grand claims about "them" [usually Israel as a whole]. These questions come from a desire to align with progressives who, like me, want to push for Palestinian sovereignty and liberation, while also caring and fearing for my own people, based on experience (not just imagination, as some claim). I am a queer, secular (atheist), solidly Left-wing Jew with a large Israeli family, for reference, so this is very personal. I wouldn't get into it, but I really do love what you guys do and I've seen you be open to empathy and different ideas in the past, so I thought it would be worthwhile to say something. Thank you either way <3

      @@TrixieMatteI All Israelis? The Israeli government? The Israeli military? Specifically Jews who live in Israel (distinct from all other Israelis including Arabs, Druzim, Palestinians, Armenians, etc)? There are a lot of possibilities, and it's important to clarify because vagueness causes real harm. Thankfully, Zelph on the Shelf did respond and clarify that it's the Israeli military, not "Israelis" :)

    I'm ex-Mormon and I would love to hear someone talk about how extremely zionist the LDS Church is. I'm convinced it would take literally one announcement from the prophet that the "new Jerusalem" is revealed to them to actually to be built in the old Jerusalem, and not on the American continent as Joseph said... and a whole lot of Mormons would literally take up arms to "protect" Israel 🤷🏻‍♀️ "God's chosen people" are so very convinced of their chosenness. We're literally all told which "tribe of Israel" we are from in our patriarchal blessings 🤷🏻‍♀️

    You forgot to mention that not being ashamed of things only applies to those things that you don't tell people to be ashamed of. However, if the two of you tell people to to be ashamed of something then you should be. You are very much hypocritical and double standard, which of course is par the course for anti-Mormons.

    Ya'll if you feel freedom from having no god, then you were following a false god. So, of course, you'll feel freedom. God is real. Jesus Christ is real. He gives you true freedom & true peace. You probably never actually had a relationship with God. My life isn't perfect but i hear from God. And He helps me figure out my problems. He legit sees you where you're at. I know because i have experienced it. He's met where I'm at. He pursued me & loves me thru my mess. And that includes being corrected & freed from doing the things that will damage my life (aka sin & unwise decisions).

    It's not simply about being scared of the liminal space; it's that the nothingness of it all leaves one open to desire and want, and unless planned constructively how to emerge, one simply retraces steps and winds back to the original spot sought to get away from due to familiarity. It's more akin to the fear of the unknown path when navigating limbo and not knowing what's to come, yet remembering what has been. And then, seeing that the road becomes narrow, not as wide as expected, on the unfamiliar (newer) path. I.e., fear of lack. Wishing you pleasant journeys with all of the provisons. Pack light and Travel well.

    Interesting what you don’t believe anymore. I didn’t hear what you do believe. I can understand the Mesoamerican theory on geography giving you pause, but there is a channel BookofMormonEvidence on UA-cam which proves the geography was the eastern half of the USA. Zelph in the name of your channel, I assumed you were familiar with Heartland model on geography. No? There is DNA link to Middle East, Hebrew influences found throughout and carbon dating which coincides with the Hopewell and Adena mound builders. I just watched a video before yours called Book of Mormon LOL, very funny. Took your same arguments and did it in less than 13 minutes. Ward Radio is also another great channel that debunks CES letter and other Anti BS. However, if you feel the commandments are too restrictive, by denying Jesus Christ, it’s now justified to commit all of the sins you like, happy are we, right? I pray you live long enough to regret and repent of making this video. It comes across as a little pathetic. You may not believe, but like me, there will be many who will and do believe, and are unshakable in their faith.

    This is just lovely. I had a great conversation with my cousin recently about her deconstructing extremism and scrupulosity. Today she is still a devoted Christian, but she is raising her kids In a progressive church where they won't be subjected to shame, prejudice, and biblical literalism. She lets them dress outside gender norms, changes pronouns in children's books to represent varied identities, and fosters curiosity about nature and science. Now, I'm a lifelong atheist and love hearing about journeys out of religion. But I equally love stories about people who keep their faith while rejecting the toxic structures of extremism. Thanks to the Beal family being vulnerable and sharing their stories. There's a place for you in this crazy world of love and learning ❤❤❤

    i do think bethany has a lot to attone for simply because of the sheer scale of harm girl defined has caused. but i have a feeling that if she continues to have friends who challenge her compassionately, she will get there. no one has to be the person who reaches out to someone that has caused harm. its commendable that y'all have chosen to take that effort, even if it didnt immediately perfectly work out. cheers.
