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.

Joseph F. Smith and Joseph Fielding Smith, both Mormon leaders, could not find any doctrinal bases for the priesthood and temple ban and yet it still remained for decades.

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. With raw emotion, Conner condemns the LDS Church's silence which enabled Daybell's doomsday cult beliefs like "blood atonement" and gathering the 144,000. She issues an impassioned call for the church to explicitly denounce these doctrines before others are radicalized, arguing its past condoning of violence has harmed thousands and its current silence harms both sides.Show Notes: mormonstories.org/portfolio-items/chad-daybell-verdictChapters00:00:00 Intro00:09:15 Video starts00:15:41 Is Chad guilty or not guilty?

Why were some members excused from this policy while others were not?
