Professor Confronts Mormon Leaders on Racism - Lowry Nelson | 2CS 03 | Ep. 1913 Mormon Stories Podcast 2024-06-27 | In 1947, Lowry Nelson, a respected Mormon academic, challenged the LDS Church's racist policies in a series of letters to top leadership. Occurring on the cusp of the Civil Rights Movement, the First Presidency reacted by doubling down on encoding white supremacy into Mormon doctrine. Nelson wasn't ready to give up though and continued to flirt with excommunication by publishing his correspondence with the brethren in a national magazine.

The Mormon Temple Steeple Wars w/ Mormonish and Radio Free Mormon | Ep. 1904 Mormon Stories Podcast 2024-06-05 | Rebecca and Landon from @mormonishpodcast1036 is joined by Radio Free Mormon and Randy Bell to reveal the Mormon church's aggressive tactics to circumvent local building codes for new temples - from funneling money through law firms to influence city councils, to privily threatening opposition that they'll "turn up the heat" and "win" regardless of opposition. Despite publicly preaching being "good neighbors," they privately tell concerned citizens groups “We have so much money, we don't care what you think" while touting lavish spires as vital symbols to "draw eyes heavenward."Show Notes: mormonstories.org/portfolio-items/mormon-temple-steeple-warsChapters00:07:00 How this all started00:15:40 Suing the members of the planning committee00:22:50 What's the motivation for the city planner?00:24:00 Comparison to other temple sizes00:27:05 Audio Clip - What happens when a resident addresses an LDS council00:31:00 Clip with Nemo00:32:35 Problems with the Heber Valley temple00:38:00 Lone Mountain Nevada Temple00:41:09 Letter excerpt, the council received &70k from the church00:46:10 Memo from the church to the LA Skye Canyon Stake00:49:05 Clip from Nemo about the Lone Mountain Temple00:59:40 Clip of David Bednar01:01:36 The Live city council meeting01:23:10 Nemo is in the house01:30:28 Marla Ballard01:33:53 Steven Fordori01:39:50 Jason Jones01:53:11 Gary Carder - keeping the city dark02:01:12 Slide of the Stake Center size vs temple size02:17:50 Cutting from the show 02:18:20 Summary of the council meeting02:32:00 A letter for the leadership from the Church02:37:35 How the church acts in the public meeting vs private meeting02:44:45 Slide comparing temple heightsWant to create live streams like this?

Heather Gay TV Project - Seeking Mormon Stories | Ep. 1903 Mormon Stories Podcast 2024-06-03 | We are super excited to announce a new tv project in development - led by ex-Mormon Heather Gay of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. In my opinion, this project has the potential to move the needle in our goal to bring more transparency to Mormon church. Heather's plea is included below. Please email her production company if you are interested."To all my Bad Mormons – The last few years have brought me so many incredible experiences and opportunities, but by far the most formative has been being able to work through my faith transition with the church amongst a community of people who understood and support my experiences. We are exploring a television project that I hope will extend this opportunity to more people who might be struggling with similar issues. If you think you might be interested, please reach out to me at newproject@slausonproductions.com and tell me a little about your story and why you think it could be valuable to share." - Heather GayShow Notes: mormonstories.org/portfolio-items/tv-show-seeking-mormon-stories00:00:00 Intro00:06:50 TV Project where people share their stories00:13:55 Heather's life out of Mormonism began when she came on the show00:20:10 The healing comes in the telling of your story00:21:35 The formal request for stories00:37:55 The intentions of this production00:39:00 Heather’s intentions in this Mormon TV production00:44:30 Reclaiming power00:52:00 Missionaries are leaving after they return home00:53:00 If you are threatened by someone sharing their story00:59:05 Absurd theories in Mormonism01:06:30 Email your story to newproject@slausonproductions.com___________________At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.

Chad Daybell Guilty Verdict - Mormons React w/ Lori Vallows Cousin Megan Conner | Ep. 1902 Mormon Stories Podcast 2024-05-30 | In a gripping interview, Megan Conner unpacks the chilling details surrounding Chad Daybell's guilty verdict for murdering his wife and children, tying it to the dangerous offshoots of Mormon teachings.
