LDS Church Caught Lying!!! RFM: 440

THEY NEVER DESTROYED THE HELPLINE RECORDS! Did RFM just catch the LDS Church lying about its CSA Helpline records? In order to avoid turning over Helpline records, the Church has previously sworn all the records are destroyed at the end of each day. Now suddenly, in order to defend itself against the allegations of Beau… Read More »LDS Church Caught Lying!!! RFM: 440

When Mormon Prophets Get It Wrong! RFM: 439

RFM and esteemed co-counsel Kolby Reddish dissect Chapter 12 of Austin Fife’s “Lite on Truth Letter.” They completely decimate the apologetic attempt to make excuses for why Mormon prophets have a historically disastrous record of making failed prophecies and disavowed doctrinal pronouncements. Astonishingly, some new apologists such as Austin Fife and Jacob Hansen are trying… Read More »When Mormon Prophets Get It Wrong! RFM: 439

Joseph Smith & Fanny Alger: Barely Scraping By

Was Joseph Smith’s relationship with Fanny Alger an early plural marriage, a sexless sealing, or a scandalous sexual affair? Long before Nauvoo polygamy, secret sealings, or theological justifications, there was Fanny Alger; a teenage girl living in Joseph and Emma Smith’s home in Kirtland, Ohio. When the relationship was discovered, it triggered scandal, apostasy, and… Read More »Joseph Smith & Fanny Alger: Barely Scraping By

Mormonism’s God Revolution

In this episode of Mormonism Live, we examine one of the most important and least discussed developments in early Mormon history: the dramatic shift in Joseph Smith’s theology of the Godhead. Using early Mormon scriptures, historical documents,… Read More »Mormonism’s God Revolution

Mormon Caught Lying: RFM: 438

What does it say when you have to lie to defend your religion? Time to get a new religion? Not if you’re Jacob Hansen! For Jacob, lying is all in a day’s work for a Mormon apologist. Radio Free Mormon was an apologist for ten years back in the 1980s. RFM got to the same… Read More »Mormon Caught Lying: RFM: 438

The End of the Light On Truth Letter! RFM: 437

This is it! The final episode! Words cannot express how happy Kolby and RFM are to finally be finishing their two-man demolition of this piece of apologetic dreck presented to the world by Austin Fife as “The Light and Truth Letter.” But after 58-hours of commentary from these two post-Mormon attorneys, spanning over an entire… Read More »The End of the Light On Truth Letter!

Does Prophetic Fallibility Solve the LDS Problem?

The LDS Church teaches that its top leaders are prophets, seers, and revelators; men who speak for God and whose guidance deserves trust, obedience, and moral authority. When serious problems arise in Church history, doctrine, or policy, the most common explanation offered is simple: prophets are fallible. But does that explanation actually resolve the issue?… Read More »Does Prophetic Fallibility Solve the LDS Problem?

Connects the dots

2023-04-24

Jadene Canada

Knows the facts and sheds insight in what the issues are and what they are not. Connects the dots in a meaningful and often humerous way.
Disappointing.

I listened to a few episodes of this podcast as a tentative member of the Church of Jesus Christ. I was hoping to get a thorough, detailed, objective analysis of LDS issues. Instead, what I found was a thoughtless, non-intellectual, ad hominem attack against people. I would not recommend this to anybody, LDS or not.

RFM is absolutely brilliant in his thorough analyses of various topics related to the Mormon Church. By far, the best post-Mormon/faith-transition podcast. RFM is highly intelligent, well-researched, extremely witty, and yet, still respectful in his many interesting episodes. 5 stars.
One of the best

Certainly one of the best podcasts for deep diving into specific issues related to Mormon/LDS history. Highly researched and very informative. Stays on topic and revisits issues as more information arises. Repeatedly breaks news or divulges new aspects of issues or research that have not been brought to light previously. Very impressive. Keep on broadcasting from behind enemy lines RFM.
