    Lies About Church History? Examining FAIR’s Claims on Joseph Smith’s Polygamy and the BofM

    Mormon apologists often place the blame on those who question their faith or express doubts, suggesting that the problem is not with the difficult historical issues themselves, but with the people who raise them.In this video, we examine a 2012 presentation by Scott Gordon, president of the Mormon apologetic organization FAIR, at Utah Valley University. Gordon presents two lists of references that he claims demonstrate that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been open and transparent about Joseph Smith’s practice of plural marriage and the Book of Mormon translation method — specifically, the use of a rock in a hat.But do these lists actually demonstrate transparency? Or do they simply create the appearance of openness while avoiding the deeper questions surrounding these controversial aspects of church history?Join me as we analyze the claims, examine the evidence, and explore whether apologetic responses truly address the concerns raised by historians, researchers, and former believers.Original presentation discussed:[https://youtu.be/EReUoXIesMI?is=D_45eJMRnhUdv-DN](https://youtu.be/EReUoXIesMI?is=D_45eJMRnhUdv-DN)Check out Flackerman’s channel here:[https://www.youtube.com/@FlackerMan](https://www.youtube.com/@FlackerMan)#Mormonism #LDS #ChurchHistory #JosephSmith #MormonApologetics #FAIRLDS #BookOfMormon #ExMormonPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.

    Liberty Troll Audits a Mormon Church…Gets INTO IT with the Bishop! WILD HIGHLIGHTS

    Liberty Troll is a First Amendment auditor who puts constitutional rights to the test by recording in public spaces and seeing how people respond.In this highlight video, Liberty Troll visits a Mormon church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) in Florida and encounters a wide range of reactions. Some Latter-day Saints ignore him, while others engage in surprisingly respectful conversations about faith, freedom, and constitutional rights.Things get especially interesting when church members explain why they believe in the truthfulness of Joseph Smith’s restored gospel — including conversations about the history of polygamy.And then the big question… did someone call the police on Liberty Troll once again?This brief highlight compilation captures some of the most entertaining moments from the original video, including a self-described “Karen” who claims the camera is “scary” and even attempts to grab it.Watch the full original Liberty Troll video here:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGgNxVL9hAk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGgNxVL9hAk)Let us know in the comments: **How do you think everyone handled this First Amendment audit?**#LibertyTroll #FirstAmendmentAudit #Mormon #LDS #JosephSmith #FreedomOfSpeech #ConstitutionalRights #AuditorPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.

    The Complete David Bednar Q&A Collection | EVERY Unscripted Moment from the Mormon Apostle

    David Bednar is one of the most recognizable apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and unlike many senior Church leaders, he has participated in numerous extended question-and-answer sessions with local congregations.These stake conference, regional conference, and devotional Q&As are largely unscripted, giving members the opportunity to ask questions directly. Over the years, many of these meetings have been recorded and quietly shared online, creating a fascinating record of Elder Bednar's spontaneous teaching style.In this video, I've gathered every public Bednar Q&A recording I could find into one compilation. Whether you're an active Latter-day Saint, former member, researcher, or simply curious about Mormonism, this collection offers a rare opportunity to hear Elder Bednar respond without the structure of a prepared General Conference address.Because Elder Bednar is widely viewed as a likely future president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, these unscripted interactions may provide valuable insight into his leadership style, priorities, and approach to difficult questions.**In this video you'll see:*** Public stake conference Q&A sessions* Regional conference question-and-answer meetings* Devotional discussions* Candid interactions with Church members* Rare unscripted teaching momentsWhat do you think? Do these informal settings reveal something different from General Conference talks?

    Taylor Frankie Paul: The Bachelorette, MomTok, and SLOMW DRAMA! | Throwback Commentary

    Taylor Frankie Paul became an internet sensation after helping launch the viral MomTok movement and later starring in The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She was also reportedly attached to a new Bachelorette-related project, but after video connected to her child abuse arrest became public, the project was ultimately shelved.Although Taylor has said she no longer identifies with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, her name continues to surface whenever Mormon culture and social media collide.In this throwback episode, I revisit one of my earlier commentaries on Taylor Frankie Paul. I share my candid opinions about her rise to fame, the controversies surrounding her, and why she has become one of the most polarizing influencers associated with modern Mormon culture.
