Скачать или смотреть The Mormon Colonization of Tonga (60%???)

People are often surprised to hear that Tonga is officially about 60% Mormon—but what's behind this huge Mormon presence in Polynesia? In this video, I'll explore the complicated history of Mormon colonization in Tonga, revealing how missionaries manipulated doctrine and leveraged schools like Liahona High School to cement their influence.

We'll unpack how stories from the Book of Mormon were tailored specifically for Polynesian audiences and discuss my personal experiences visiting the controversial Mormon-owned Polynesian Cultural Center. Join me as we examine the difference between official church statistics and reality, and why Mormonism has such a huge foothold in this part of the globe.
