The Donny performance is in the video "White and Nerdy", a parody of "Ridin" by rapper Chamillionaire.

I don't think people that are baptized at eighteen know anything about the minds of adults, who as children, stood up in front of a hundred people and said - I know this church is true and not just once but many times.

I agree with you......the children were brainwashed
When I wake up I will be hungry....but this feels so good right now aaahhhhhh........
I'll comment more on this later (or not). I watched the video and while I am not credentialed to diagnose mental illness (any more than anyone else commenting here) I see nothing at all unusual about the video except that Josh needs to be more aware of what his facial expressions are doing when being filmed.
That is to say, the comments here of armchair shrinks to the effect that Josh needs professional help are, in my view, largely out to lunch.
There are other ways to respond to Josh's communication in the video besides giving air time to the superficial. The only thing I see "confirmed" in the video is that Josh oversimplifies the nature of this board and the purpose of those who participate.

Well, Josh does love the :::eyeroll:::, apparently in real life as well as online.
I can't speak for others, but I wouldn't tell Josh he needs help based on the video alone. I'm telling him this based on long experience with his posting history, as well as personal information he chose to share online.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

The purpose of this website, apparently, was to solicit donations so that Skains and his wife could life in a million-dollar home somewhere within the vicinity of La Jolla, CA. According to my source, Skains carried on at length about the misery of living in an apartment, and stated on his website that $500,000 homes in the area were "trash," and not good enough for him.
You need to get better tipsters for your smear campaign. Even if this were true, what does this have to do with anything other than a rather desprate attempt to put me down?
When did I insult you enough to justify this hateful campaign anyways? I honestly am a little frightened of you. You seem obsessed with me to the extreme, and willing to attack me at any length. What next? I am a closet homosexual? Perhaps I am a phediphile too???

Whatever you perceive of my online profile, you can not make an accurate assesment of me, period. You would have to actually *shock* have to meet me in real life and then make an honest assesment.
Hide behind whatever you will, your public attempt to twist the material I "shared online" isn't justified, and worse, most of the material you are pulling from is old, and perhaps not reflecting of me today.
All this cause I asked two questions. Sad, really.
To answer your question about hate... I have not noticed anyone here who truly hates the LDS church. Of course I may be mistaken, but could you please give us some examples of posts that you think demonstrate someone's HATRED toward church? Maybe that would help us understand you better.
uhhhh.....Merc, PP though he has fled, Infymus, I think Scratch seems to border on at least disdain, Kimberly, Nort thought he is gone as well.

I think somebody besides jskains needs some help.
It should be noted that Josh is by his own admission suffering from depression. He says as much on his own website and even discusses possible linkages to his relatively newly diagnosed diabetes. He's clearly under medical treatment for the diabetes, whether or not he is for the depression.
What the hell does diabetes have anything to do with anything? I mean seriously... Does it really need to get this dirty? I haven't attacked you once, and your now mocking my diabetes??? And I am clearly nothing. I controlled it and have been off the medication for over a YEAR now after I successfully lost 60 pounds...
