The Mormon History Hoedown

This is part four where Barbara and I discuss the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragic event in Mormon history where a group of Mormons in 1857 killed a large group of innocent men, women, and children.We kick things off with a review of the brutal crime of wiping out all the innocent people including young witnesses. As tensions soar, the Mormon leaders are left reeling at the shocking aftermath of their actions. Lies fly and a frantic cover-up ensues, leaving everyone scrambling to keep their secrets buried. The whole situation blows wide open when freighters stumble upon the scene. Amidst the chaos, questions arise about what the orphaned kids might know and how to make them forget. Things take an even more sinister turn when leaders start bragging about their misdeeds in church and resort to making violent threats, then telling prophet Brigham Young a fictionalized version of events.Pick up the book Vengeance Is Mine from your local bookseller or online: https://www.amazon.com/Vengeance-Mine-Mountain-Massacre-Aftermath/dp/0195397851Listen to the audiobook of Vengeance Is Mine: https://www.audible.com/pd/Vengeance-Is-Mine-Audiobook/B0C6FPQFB5?eac_link=QUOOMHSekDaE&ref=web_search_eac_asin_3&eac_selected_type=asin&eac_selected=B0C6FPQFB5&qid=xMIVfP7ajx&eac_id=140-1729692-0760619_xMIVfP7ajx&sr=1-3👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!

Pleasure is the measure, so satisfy your longings to hang out with me for an hour of free education from Natasha Helfer, a certified sex therapist! React with us as we watch Girl Defined's most uncomfortable, now deleted, highly controversial video where Bethany interviews Christian "sex counselors" as they detail their path through God-honoring, non-orgasmic, duty-bound sex. In this enlightening video, we take a deep dive into the world of purity culture through the hellscape of Mormonism and Christianity. You've heard of Girl Defined reaction videos, but all pale in comparison to the wise, empathetic education Natasha brings to this discussion for those looking to still deconstruct unhelpful Christian sexual dogmas.Check out Natasha's website and come out to her reclaiming female sexuality event that I'll be speaking at on April 20th in Ogden, Utah! https://www.natashahelfer.com/retreat👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!

In this second episode of our series, historian Barbara Jones Brown takes us through the violent rhetoric on behalf of Mormon leaders that led up to the Mountain Meadows Massacre. From 1856 to 1857 in Utah, Mormon prophet Brigham Young played a role in shaping the mindset of the Mormon settlers resulting in a theocracy, heaps of polygamy, and the idea that avenging the blood of prophets was the only rational thing to do. Blood atonement and the Mormon Reformation are key aspects to understanding the religious doctrine and context of the time that shed light on the motivations and justifications used by the perpetrators of the massacre.Pick up the book Vengeance Is Mine from your local bookseller or online: https://www.amazon.com/Vengeance-Mine-Mountain-Massacre-Aftermath/dp/0195397851Listen to the audiobook of Vengeance Is Mine: https://www.audible.com/pd/Vengeance-Is-Mine-Audiobook/B0C6FPQFB5?eac_link=QUOOMHSekDaE&ref=web_search_eac_asin_3&eac_selected_type=asin&eac_selected=B0C6FPQFB5&qid=xMIVfP7ajx&eac_id=140-1729692-0760619_xMIVfP7ajx&sr=1-3👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!

Listen to this podcast, then listen to it again to digest all the wisdom of my guest, Stephanie Brinkerhoff, as we discuss the difficult road to empowerment as an Ex-Mormon. It's time we get to the heart of the process.From leaving a church that took away her autonomy and intuition, and how psychedelics helped her break free, my guest Stephanie discusses associations of safety with following the rules of the Mormon Church. She believed she would feel safe if she ticked off the boxes and followed the teachings. However, after leaving the church and deconstructing her beliefs, she realized that true safety is an internal state of being, a cultivated inner state. A safety that comes from within and involves connecting with oneself, cultivating inner peace, and trusting in one's own intuition. With real examples,I hope this episode is useful for everyone still trying to find their power as we answer questions from viewers! And please leave all your experiences with empowerment in the comments!For more of Stephanie's goodness, follow her on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/stephanieannagain/ Listen to Stephanie's Mormon Stories interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1JB-albFoU Don't miss this amazing discussion with Doug, Mike, and Stephanie at Mormon on Mushroom's podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KUTQwWlB4DiWfkk9V1mwK👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!
