I have listened to the Jeff Burton, Kevin Kloosterman, and Lord is it I. They were all GREAT. I feel very much like you and the “Lord is it I”. I have done better the last few months not getting pissed at TBM’s and exmo’s. I do think in the long run helping both of them stop demonizing each other is probably best done by people like those on this site being patient – or not! Actually President Uchtdorf could give one very clear conference talk and move things along quicker, but I am glad for what he has done so far. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were 20 of us in a ward instead of one and that one ward where there are 2 Quote:Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were 20 of us in a ward instead of one and that one ward where there are 2
:clap: :thumbup: :thumbup: I would settle for 1. There might be one guy, but he travels almost all the time so I have had a hard time getting close enough to him to feel comfortable opening up to him.

Brother Mauss is a well known renown Mormon scholar, author, intellectual within our faith. He has written many articles. Today we talk about how to separate the gospel from the Church, the humanness of the Church, how to delve into tough issues without criticizing leaders, and about his book

http://mormondiscussionpodcast.orghttp://mormondiscussionpodcast.org” class=”bbcode_url”> #1 – Enjoy this Mormon Discussion Podcast Dramatized reading of the Christmas story of Christ’s birth. While I know we can each view Chirst and the Scriptures that speak of him with various perspectives and takes, it is my hope we can still find the spirit in the story of him whose light is truly upon the hill. It is because of Christ that I am.

We talk about how the majority of the accusations come very late, even decades after the death of the prophet. We talk about what the evidence is in each case and why we should in all likelihood throw each of these out with the exception of Fanny Alger which we speak about at length.
Still not sure how I feel about expert apologists like hales. While I’m glad he is doing such exhaustive research and making as strong a case as he can to counter critics, he is still a non objective historian and therefore can’t be taken too seriously. I read his arguments a long time ago on the fair website and found them to be pretty weak unless I was to suspend my sense of reality. It was then that I was sure JS was having sex with his polyandrous wives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In order not to derail this thread I invite anyone that wants to post on Brian Hales and his perspective on polygamy to do so at the following thread: http://forum.staylds.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4453&hilit=brian+hales I did notice that Bro. Hales was referenced in the recent church essay on JS polygamy.
I was interviewed by another podcast for any who care http://www.anothermormonpodcast.com/episode-26-interviewing-bill-reel/ ” class=”bbcode_url”> http://www.anothermormonpodcast.com/episode-26-interviewing-bill-reel/ In this episode, Richard and Sarah interview Bill Reel about why he stays in the church.
Having a mind that is generally more analytical (I am an engineer), I liked your podcast on the Athiest Active Mormon (I think it is a “premiere” episode, so it will be released publicly in a few months). I enjoyed his discussion of axioms. Quite interesting. Thanks… yes he offers an alternative approach

He has a two radio programs, a website, and is also the author of two books. He is a minister within Evangelical Christianity and graciously gives us some of his time. We talk about shifting paradigms, faith crises, The historical Jesus, and how can find ways to work through issues of faith.
[img]http://www.faithagain.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/quinn1.jpg [/img] the enigmatic D. Michael Quinn has agreed to appear on the podcast in February. I am so excited as he is one of those figures in Mormonism who intrigues the daylight out of me.
What Questions do you have for him? This is your chance!
I would like to know if he has ever received an apology from the church for being excommunicated for publishing anti mormon material, now that the church has admitted he was telling the truth.
