Brother Jake Defends the Book of Mormon, Part 3

Post by Corsair » Fri Apr 27, 2018 11:18 am

Brother Jake Defends the Book of Mormon, Part 3 was just released today. It's another fantastic discussion of the soft apologetics of the Book of Mormon in a way that will be hilarious to an apostate and confusing to a believer.

Forgive me for my politically incorrect question/observation and total hijack of this thread but why are 90% of LDS guys total beta males like this Jake fellow? 75% of the guys in my ward look like they would lose a fight to an emaciated Peewee Herman.
What's a beta male? I've only seen the term a couple times, and it seemed pretty condescending.

I take it your new to brother jake?
It's frustrating to see the last resort in a discussion of facts be: I disregard those facts because of my faith. Why even talk about facts if the last resort is to put faith above all facts that are contrary to your faith?

The photo offered is simply to confuse the adversary. The real Brother Jake looks more like Captain Moroni with an emblazoned shield of red, white, and blue, plus a more contemporaneous BYU-acceptable haircut. He is a Youtuber among Youtubers.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I love his videos... although they also make me so mad because it's so obvious when you watch the videos what an absolute fraud the church is, and yet my wife would *murder* me if I tried to show her this.

Maybe someday we'll be able to sit down, watch this, and laugh... but I highly, highly doubt it.

I have met Jake Frost in real life. He uses his mission picture for the video and he barely looks like that any longer with his epic beard and shaved head. He has done video of himself for some of his videos, but he said he stopped doing it because he did not want to keep looking like that guy.

Start with a "softer" one, like modesty. I've shared it with several tbm women and they've all chuckled and admitted hes right...
