Re: Murder Among the Mormons

I know Mark Hofmann said he was trying to commit suicide, but police evidence indicates otherwise. I'm working on a new interview with Brent Ashworth, and he cites police evidence that Mark bumped the gear shift while trying to move the bomb into the back seat. Apparently evidence is pretty clear Ma...

First Vision

I also want to highlight a 6 episode podcast put out by the Joseph Smith Papers Project. I think they do some amazing work and tell some amazing stories about the First Vision. https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/articles/the-first-vision-a-joseph-smith-papers-podcast I also found this video on YouTub...

Saints Vol 2 podcast

I want to say how impressed I am with the Saints Volume 2 podcast. In the latest episode (16) they talk about the myths of the handcart disaster that aren't really true. For example, there is a woman that carried people through the icy water. It is likely that more than 6 young men carried people, a...

Re: Was Jesus Married?

I know the Fundamentalists claim that Jesus was Married, but in my opinion, it is poorly sourced and there are a lot of leaps of logic to get there. I spoke with Anne Wilde who was a plural wife of Ogden Kraut who wrote "Jesus Was Married." I spoke to her and an apostle for a polygamist gr...

This is on my (long) list of books to read. It sounds very interesting!

Sick Cattle, Strong drinks for washing your bodies

I had a really cool interview with apostle Lachlan MacKay of the Community of Christ, and wanted to share a few of the amazing things he said concerning the Word of Wisdom. D&C 89:7 reads, “And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.” Who washes their bod...

Re: Struggle with those against the Church on social media

I have the same problem. I purposely avoid reading comment sections in newspapers because it is such a hate-fest. I think avoidance is the best you can do. There was an interesting post at W&T on this phenomenon: https://wheatandtares.org/2018/01/19/ho ... m-a-holes/

Re: The Rescue is Back on The Menu!

I remember when my kids would be told to apologize to a sibling. They would give this flippant, "sorry." No sincerity or ownership. I understand what you are saying and agree to a large part. On the other hand, our current POTUS never learned that skill. In other words, even if "sorr...

Re: Joseph Smith wasn't actually a Polygamist...

I know Rock, but he relies on the RLDS for his sources that Joseph wasn't a polygamist. While I know it is appealing, Rock's just plain wrong on this topic. There's simply too much evidence. Here's my interview where Brian Hales refutes Rock's points.

Re: Radiowest interview with Episcopal Bishop Spong re. his book

Yes, we talked about that in our interview. Jerald really took Ed Decker to town after the screening. They were a bit perplexed!
