Radio Free Mormon

The most controversial talk of April 2021 General Conference was likely given by President Nelson at the close of the Sunday morning session.  You remember–The “Lazy Learners” talk! Jonathan Streeter and I take a full two hours to dive deeply into this talk and excavate its deeper implications. General Conference has never been so much fun!!!

We sit down with author, Spencer Wright, to talk about Logical Fallacies. We will examine a few ways in which certain fallacies are used in Mormonism and help the viewer/listener grasp how irrational certain apologetic arguments are. How Mormon Apologists carefully move the person investigating truth claims and history to making room for anything that it possible even if that thing is highly unlikely and do so in ways that one feels comfortable maintaining belief even though that belief may be irrational.Spencer Wright is the author of the book, “How To Think: Why Rational and Faith Based Thinking Are In Compatible” RESOURCES: Spencer’s Book “How To Think” https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-Spencer-K-Wright/dp/1986747069https://thebestschools.org/magazine/15-logical-fallacies-know/https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacieshttps://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/fallacies/http://utminers.utep.edu/omwilliamson/ENGL1311/fallacies.htm

We sit down with Creative Content Producer Nemo and discuss his work at fact Checking the LDS Church.

I am happy to be joined once again by the brilliant Jonathan Streeter of Thoughts on Things and Stuff for a jolly discussion of the Sunday Morning Session of April 2021 General Conference! General Conference has never been so much fun!!!

Mormonism has placed each believer into having to choose which Prophets you believe and which Prophets you don’t. Choosing which Prophets are right about the views they hold claiming they got them from God and which prophets were simply wrong claiming something came from God when it must surely be their own false view since the views are contradictory. In the end the disagreement seems so obviously contradictory that one must choose one claim over the other which leaves them dismissing a prophet and having that prophet apparently unable to discern between the voice of God and his own false imagination. And once you admit that prophets and those who place faith in them are no more able to discern truth from error via the Holy Ghost…… Then how does one navigate with certainty about their own spiritual knowings and those of the prophets when one could be misled this easily. And the Cherry on top is the LDS Church’s continued Deception around the issue including misleading members by articulating the issue as if Brigham didn’t teach it through their talks, the Church manuals, and private letters demanding silence.RESOURCES:https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Question:Was_the%22Adam-God%22_theory_ever_taught_as_part_of_the_temple_endowment_ceremony_as_something_called_%22the_lecture_at_the_veil%22%3Fhttps://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1975/04/a-self-inflicted-purging?lang=enghttps://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1976/10/our-own-liahona?lang=enghttps://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1980/10/adam-the-archangel?lang=enghttps://speeches.byu.edu/talks/bruce-r-mcconkie/seven-deadly-heresies/#byu-headerhttp://www.eugeneengland.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/BRM-to-EE-Feb-80-Combined.pdfhttps://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-brigham-young/chapter-14?lang=enghttps://journalofdiscourses.com/9/27https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-brigham-young/chapter-4?lang=enghttps://www.journalofdiscourses.com/1/8

This week RFM and Bill Reel use the recent Salt Lake Trib article as a starting point to discuss why Heavenly mother is such a big deal. Or rather why so many are insisting we talk about her and why so many others demand we don’t.

Tonight I am joined once more by my good friend Jonathan Streeter from Thoughts on Things and Stuff for part 3 of our post mortem of the  2021 General Conference. Time for the Priesthood Session! General Conference has never been so much fun!

Tonight Radio Free Mormon and Bill Reel take another look at the recent regional conference focusing on how Elder Holland and Bonnie Cordon handle questions from the Young adult members of the Church.

Recently a few regional conferences came to our attention where LDS Leaders said things that seem to run counter to the truth. We touch on those today and take your calls on Mormonism LIVE !

We discuss Video Footage of Elder Holland and Sister Cordon claiming the Cordon’s don’t have any wealth to an audience made up in part by the poor in Africa. Which is a deceptive statement since Derek Cordon was with Omniture when they were bought out by adobe for 1.8 Billion and They live in a Million Dollar Home https://youtu.be/Dp8dfu3TEG0?t=3180 2.) We discuss Video Footage of Elder Holland explaining how the Church is always behind and playing catch up with the world. https://youtu.be/l3Aaf29dDhA?t=180 3.) We discuss footage from Elder Bednar claiming once again that Missionary work is growing and increasing and the producing incredible results.

This Week RFM and Bill Reel takes a deeper look at the an old allegation that has been dragged out once again by critics against John Dehlin. And specifically the facts and documentation surrounding the case. And what do they find…… but that the claims the alleged victim seems to contain two major discrepancies. One is her motivation which seems riddled with blackmail and manipulation and the other seems to strike at the heart of her claims, namely her allegations countered by her very own text messages.
