Welcome to this soon-to-be legendary episode of The Mormon History Hoedown in which I interview Kwaku El, known for his staunch defense of Mormonism on Ward Radio, Saints Unscripted, and Jubilee’s Mormons vs. Exmormons! In the ring with Kwaku today, we kick it off with his conversion, liberal background, and perspectives as an apologist in the Mormon space. How did he make that shift, what's his deal and what's with all these a**holes? Moving on, we've got some drama brewing: Ad hominem attacks, DezNat showdowns, and all the tea on what Joseph Smith was really all about. Jumping ahead, let's get down to basics: What even is Mormonism, and how does Kwaku see it compared to the mainstream? Then, we're diving into the nitty-gritty: Kwaku’s version of Mormonism versus the beliefs of the masses. We've got some spicy topics to stir up: Is masturbation a sin, and are Mormons getting it on before marriage? What is "true," and does it even matter? The Book of Mormon – is it historical, or just a good story? We're breaking it down. Plus, we've got some tight vs. loose translation debates and a chat about anachronisms. Stick around as I engage in a spirited debate with Kwaku, the go-to guy for defending Joseph Smith and nuancing the modern LDS church.
