Addendum On George Q Cannon

So there are certain things I never thought I would have to deal with when started this podcast. One of the things that took me by surprise were emails from listeners asking me if I knew someone they could go and talk to to try and improve their family relationships.

Go To  http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368  For Exclusive Content   When I was first exploring Mormon Fundamentalism, I found that the search was hard to find people and groups to talk to. It seemed to be just the nature of most fundamentalists to be kind of on the down low and that was for good reason based on all the persecution that the community had endured. I just remember being frustrated t...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content   One of the reasons I love Mormonism so much is because it is more than just a church. It’s not enough just to show up on Sunday throw a couple of bucks in the collection plate, listen to a sermon, and shake some hands. Mormonism is a community, almost a counterculture with its own language, culture, and practices. Sometimes I think...

When I first left the LDS Church I remember looking around for a place to go worship on Sundays with my family. As I looked around there weren’t exactly big fundamentalist church buildings on every corner. This meant I had to really search around and dig to find folks. Now for guy like me who is maybe just a little bit lazy and who likes his recliner, a bag of Doritos, and football a little too mu...

We covered his Father, his birth, his upbringings, early life and concluded with the episode with his 1909 inquisition by the Quorum of the Twelve.

I have on Michael Ness who has done some amazing research and knows his stuff on Musser. On this part 1 on Musser, we discuss Musser’s early life as a boy, in...

Joseph Smith gets judged harshly by historians and ex-Mormons alike. They will often employ tactics such a presentism to make their arguments. This is where we try to take historical figures out of the time in which they lived and judge them based on our own times. The result is a slanted view of history without considering historical context. Also, when it comes to Joseph Smith’s plural marriage...

So, no matter how you feel about the events and persons the movie Sound of Freedom is based on the fact remains that the movie did far better than what was expected. I mean, it knocked off Indiana Jones now couple that with the success of the TV show The Chosen and now we can see a pattern. That pattern is that society as a whole is starving quality entertainment of real spiritual substance. Today...
