the jurgen experience i i was brought up i was brought mormon really so i was brought more sam was mormon well my family's mormon were all excommunicated what happened my dad got us all taken out of the thing so it was just like we were like deep we were deep and then when we moved provinces the church wasn't good here in ontario so in nova scotia big big fellowship we mormon world you know then what my dad was like a high deacon or whatever the [ __ ] it was or like we we always like sat next to like the bishops family like front row [ __ ] because it's all like the families whoever's like up on the stage or whatever like the family sit in the front rows and [ __ ] and so then when we moved to ontario i [ __ ] you know uh like when we were about 12 or 13 right around like that time when we started all of a sudden doing like drugs and drinking is when we stopped going to the church because that's maybe a part of it too right where like we were like i never had a coca-cola i never saw a pg rated movie we only watched g-rated really i never saw the simpsons until i was you know like things like that like we were allowed so once you got excommunicated from the church they just well we took ourselves my dad i don't know if ex communicates the right word left the church we when we left the church but because they have so much information on you and your family like [ __ ] family tree stuff like it takes a long time to actually get your like your [ __ ] out of there what do you mean like uh you're in for like i think they just have like a lot of information on you and your families and they do a lot of ancestral stuff right so i think they do like a lot of and you you know the pen you got to give all like even like i would get two dollars a week for my allowance and i'd have to give 10 percent to the church
so we would all be my brothers we would have to take our nickels or whatever our dimes and we'd have to give our our 10 to the church really yeah yeah so that was training like just saying like that training of like giving the church the money from day one and all that kind of [ __ ] so it was just like and then you know my parents are like they were young and it's great they were like the the young the young couple that got knocked on and my dad was like come on in like drink like you want a beer and and all of a sudden my dad was just like and it was one of those things where i'm like why you know we were so like you like when i found that out later on i was like you literally just like somebody knocked on you let a missionary in here you know like where it's like so funny how old were you when you were asking them that question like like later like in my 20s yeah like when i had like some balls to like you know dads are so scary so i was just like you know like huh yeah just why you're asking him why yeah just like some quite like where i was just like you know like he would come visit me in college we'd go have like lunch you know my dad would drive up to the city and you know having those father-son kind of conversations like hey like this was kind of crazy back then they're like why was this or like you know like why why you know why were we never allowed to like sleep over at other kids houses or like you know like things like little small things that i don't think are you know crazy but i think it's definitely like one of those things that like you know never having like a coca-cola and then all of a sudden i'm like doing acid you know i'm all gas you know like it's just like i was like oh cool we're not mormons anymore let's do some blotter acids sometimes that's what triggers it right it's the repression there's so much repression and then all sudden they take the reins off you well and the idea of
heaven just like at a young age i strongly felt like there was no heaven and i strongly felt i didn't believe it from a young age because i also and there's three levels of heaven in the mormon in the mormon or in the book of mormon right there's like the celestial the [ __ ] whatever and whatever so i was just like this does have three levels of heaven there's like three levels of heaven so there's tears there's tears right so the thing that i was i was a klepto as a kid i would walk into like you know a little store and like grab a little thing like i remember i stole a jackknife once from like this like you know hardware store like i would just like take things you know a little klepto and in my head at a very young age i was like i'm never going to be eternal with my parents at a very young age i was like my parents are like you know they did the whole thing with the underwear and they're married forever and like [ __ ] underwear is wild daddy i think they had to give it back or they had to get rid of it i don't [ __ ] know i don't know let's facetime steve and be like what the [ __ ] did you have to give the underwear back i still don't understand like they have information on you like why does that make it hard to leave because they tell you hey we know things about you like no i don't think it's like weird like that kind of stuff i just think our [ __ ] out to be like stricken of the books right so you don't have to pay them every week can you well you don't have to pence or just like you or i think it's called pence but i think it's like once again there's probably a lot of mormons watching this that are being like manny doesn't know [ __ ] and i don't know [ __ ] okay i don't know [ __ ] i just lived it right but i just think it it is um i remember it was just one of those things where i remember my dad and my sister it was crazy because she had a child out of wedlock she's gonna love that i say this but she had like a child out of wedlock
and so that was like a thing where i think it was like i don't even know i think there was like a thing where she got like a piece of paper saying she had to go in front of like a tribunal oh boy and like you know explain herself or she was getting or maybe she was getting excrement i still forget it's kind of fuzzy but i think it was like one of those things where i remember when the missionaries showed up and it was almost like they served her like papers or some [ __ ] and i remember my older brother almost like beat the [ __ ] out of these missionaries it was like get the [ __ ] out of you know one of those kind of things like get off our porch get the [ __ ] out of here serving you papers you violated i don't know like that's the thing is like i don't like a lot of uh well that is the wackiest religion it's the wackiest right yeah i know of course i'm a part of it it's like other than scientology i was baptized it's the wackiest one it's the wackiest one right right right they know the guy who made it up and he was like we used to go we used to go to the hill where he found the book of mormon and they used to redo the event and we would visit the jail where he was like murdered how old was he when they killed him in his 20s that's in that wild john smith right john smith um joseph joseph smith he invented it when he was 14 years old let's go that's incredible that's like now that's like a tick-tocker you know everyone just follows tick-tock same [ __ ] well i just can't imagine a 14 year old that's not full of [ __ ] yeah you know like a 14 year old tells you a story like that and everybody's like wow he's like let's go you've met angels what are they like they were beautiful you have golden tablets i love a golden tablet with the last work of jesus jesus catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos on spotify including clips easily seamlessly
