Not So Molly Mormon

First up for our Listener's Stories series is a chilling letter sent to us by a listener who wishes to remain anonymous. Content warning: Rape, suicide, sexual assault. Please send your stories to notsomollymormonpodcast@gmail.com

In this episode, we talk about some hurtful Mormon messages regarding LGBT folks that were given during the October 2018 General Conference. We also have a special guest (Sara's bestie!) who tells us a little about his life growing up as a gay man in Mississippi surrounded by Christianity. #BeKind

We dive into some dark territory in this week's episode. We discuss the inappropriate questions that some children have been asked by their Mormon bishops. We also shed light on the #ProtectLDSChildren movement. (Trigger warning: explicit sexual content including rape)

This week we talk about the Word of Wisdom, AKA the Word of No Fun. Find out why Mormons don't drink alcohol, coffee, or tea (but maybe they are allowed to take gin & tonic baths?)

This week we chat about EVOLUTION and why many Mormons don't believe Darwin's research.

We get our true-crime vibes on this week with the haunting story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, committed by (you guessed it!) the Mormons. We apologize in advance for the slight technical difficulties. We are convinced it's the ghost of Brigham Young trying to sabotage the podcast.

Marijuana, gay marriage, and a little bit of true crime! You're in for a treat!

We love our listeners!!! This week, we are addressing two topics sent in by friends on Instagram. Featured: The recent Mormon "rebranding" and the fact that Mormons are not allowed to wear crucifixes. Are they really Christian? We will be talking about your other submissions in upcoming episodes!

Mormon polygamy! Let's examine!

What stories are actually contained in the Book of Mormon? Do Mormons believe that ancient Jews built boats and sailed to America? And that those same ancient Jews are the ancestors of the Native American people? ....yes.

Mormons & gays... let's discuss!

We chat about Mormonism and sexuality. (edit: the sound quality and long playtime in our first few episodes is not great, but bear with us! It does get better, we promise! If you'd like a sample of what we sound like currently, feel free to listen to more recent episodes.)

Hi friends! Welcome to our #exmormon podcast. In our first episode, we introduce ourselves and talk about what caused us to step away from Mormonism. (edit: the sound quality and long playtime in our first few episodes is not great, but bear with us! It does get better, we promise! If you'd like a sample of what we sound like currently, feel free to listen to more recent episodes.)

This week we are discussing the antiquated Mormon teachings about modesty and how they lead to body shame, sexist rhetoric, and sometimes even the dreaded "swamp crotch". Please share your stories with us. We want YOU on our podcast! notsomollymormonpodcast@gmail.com

Have you ever wondered what happens inside those secret Mormon temples? Sit back, relax, and let's chat about things we were never allowed to talk about when we were active Mormons. :)

This week we have a chat about the wild and wacky world of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. Topics include 14-year old wives, magical top hats, plenty of goold old fashioned jail time, and lots of other things we never learned in the LDS church. Join us!
