It looks like a camera break at 0:19 after the shots were fired and before the garments were examined. It could be a fake. Whoever made this video shot up real garments, which of course deflected the bullets, then they stopped the camera, and put some plain fruit -of-the-loom underwear with holes in them on the ground to make it look like the garments got shot up. Those tricky anti-mormons.

Silly people. Don't they know that garments only offer physical protection when worn by a covenant-keeping *priesthood holder? And if an otherwise worthy garment wearer were to "test the Lord" in this way, that obviously wouldn't work either. God doesn't like being **tested.


*Have you ever heard a story of a woman being protected by her garments?

**This, of course, excludes all the times in the Old Testament where He was perfectly ok with being tested.

Yes, my co-workers mother was in a car accident and the battery acid burned her legs, but stopped at the garments.

A story? You make it sound like there is only one out there. LOL. The better question is have you ever met a Mormon woman who doesn't have a story about being protected by her garments?

You know what I find so humorous about these stories is that they don't require the least shred of evidence for them to be 100% true in the TBM mind, but try and tell them that Joseph Smith slept with 30+ wives and you need a confession signed by Joseph Smith's own blood for it to even be plausible.

As can be seen, there is many bullet holes in the magical garments. This myth has been busted


He should have said there are, not there is.

Therefore the church is true.

Why would one expect them to be since nobody ever claimed they were. Duh!

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really like things like this. As much as I disagree with Mormonism, it's not good to ridicule people's beliefs and things that are meaningful to them. I know, it was meant as a joke, but I can't imagine anyone laughing if someone were shooting at a menorah.
