    S2E10 D&C 42 Part 4

    At long last, we put D&C 42 to bed. Turns out the "law of the church" was received in two parts, and the second half, hidden behind a question that never made it into your Doctrine and Covenants, is what makes verses 74 and on make more sense. We dig into church discipline, keeping sins private versus public, and why poor Bishop Edward Partridge keeps catching strays. Then we detour into the wild world of 19th-century marriage: why divorce required an act of the legislature and how Andrew Jackson got branded a bigamist If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171 Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠ (https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com/) If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

    S6E26 The Great Apostate Hall of Shame - OLI Joseph Wakefield

    The podcast begins with the US-Bosnia World Cup match (SEC championships as the definitive metric), then open the Phoebe Draper Palmer Brown mailbag. Jerry from North Dakota earns a heartfelt thank-you and an unnecessary swipe at the Bismarck capitol building, plus a Roosevelt-in-the-Badlands tangent and BYU's windowless MARB building. Elder Ballard (the Nauvoo Mississippi River mission one) requests a new segment: ranking the top apostates.   Enter the debut of the "The Great Apostate Hall of Shame." First up, outside-looking-in: Joseph Wakefield, a powerhouse early missionary who baptized George A. Smith, then apostatized, joined Kirtland's anti-Mormon committee, and helped hire Philastus Hurlbut.   Reason for Apostasy: He couldn't accept D&C 76's expansive vision of heaven. The Takeaway: Don't let any belief become the one that separates you from the prophet.   If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171   Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠   If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

    S2E9 D&C 42 Part 3

    Drawing on the manuscript versions, they recover the specific questions that prompted the revelation, context the published text leaves out. Along the way: Symonds Ryder, the revelation's scribe who later apostatized, and the dubious half-century-later claim that he left over a misspelled name; Ezra Booth; why the Lord organized Saints into geographic congregations "in consequence of the enemy"; and the early scriptural basis for supporting full-time church servants from consecrated property. Plus the surprising fact that D&C 42 is really two revelations, received February 9 and 23, 1831, and some scheming about a future "top apostates" list.

    S6E25 Nauvoo Lyceum & 1980s Church Movies

    We are recording in front of a live studio audience in Nauvoo, Illinois.  In this week's episode, we begin with a movie review of the 1980s classic Prodigal Son and Cipher in the Snow, and then make the obvious transition to Nauvoo Lyceum. Gerrit regales the audience with several topics discussed in this adult education program, and we cover the Chestnut Hill College Lacrosse Team's dominance from 2021 to 2024 If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171 Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

    S3E13 A Republic, If You Can Keep It

    The ratification fight continues as we cover Massachusetts' razor-thin 187-168 vote, John Hancock's late-but-decisive endorsement, and Maryland's ratification despite Luther Martin's vow to "be hanged" before approving it. Then it's a deep dive into Madison's Federalist No. 10, why factionalism is poison to republics, why liberty and faction are inseparable ("liberty is to faction what air is to fire"), and how partisanship erodes public virtue. Tangents: NBA Finals heartbreak, Hack-a-Shaq strategy, and Fun with Numbers.

    S3E12 The Umbrella of Discontent: Anti-Federalism's Many Faces

    In this episode of Condemned to Repeat It, we dig into the fierce, chaotic fight over ratifying the Constitution, centered on Massachusetts, the populous, revolution-hardened state whose rejection could have killed the whole project. We discuss why Anti-Federalism was less a single movement than an umbrella term spanning everyone from Elbridge Gerry, who simply wanted a Bill of Rights attached, to the Daniel Shays faction, who opposed a stronger federal government on principle. Along the way we unpack George Washington's diplomatic but pointed cover letter to Congress (society requires surrendering some liberty to preserve the rest), Richard Henry Lee's proposed amendments and his Hobbesian warning about the "silent, powerful, and ever active conspiracy of those who govern," and the curious early design flaws of the vice presidency and electoral college that put political rivals in the same administration. Tangents: speeding-ticket philosophy, gravel-road fishtailing, a fan letter from "the slightly bitter sister" Pam, and a Fun with Numbers segment on Massachusetts casting roughly a third of all the "no" votes nationwide If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171 Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

    S6E23 King Follett Sermon Part 3

    In this episode, we answer a litter's questions who wrote while in "DEEP" labor asking about the lesser-known Pratt brothers and an audio submission from Filer, Idaho about the legend that Joseph of Arimathea brought the teenage Jesus to Cornwall. Gerrit traces the idea to William of Malmesbury's 12th-century history of Glastonbury and its tangle of Arthurian folklore.   We close with part three of our King Follett sermon series, where Gerrit warns against apologists who lean on the Thomas Bullock account's apparent mistranscription to claim Joseph taught God was God from all eternity, arguing that you can't play historian with one discrepant source against five consistent ones, and that watering down what Joseph actually taught to appease traditional Christian critics is selling your birthright for a mess of pottage that won't even fill you up.   If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171   Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠   If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

    S2E8 D&C 42 Part 2

    In this episode we continue exploring how a rapidly growing, less-than-a-year-old church established its earliest standards of belief, conduct, and discipline. We discuss why early excommunication was swift but also quickly reversible, drawing surprising comparisons to 1830s Baptist and Methodist congregations (where drunkenness topped the list of reasons members were cut off), and unpack what it meant to be an authorized representative versus a private member sharing the gospel. The conversation turns to the law of consecration and the deeded surrender of property to care for the poor, the tension between capitalism and the future city of Zion, and why teaching false doctrine publicly remains a serious matter. Along the way, expect plenty of detours from small-town Idaho Fourth of July plans, repurposed European churches, and the secret genius of Dolph Lundgren.
