    If the Book of Mormon Has the Fullness of the Gospel, Where Is It?

    NOTE: This is a re-upload with improved audio quality—thanks to everyone who watched the original and offered feedback! We appreciate your patience and support while we work to improve every aspect of our content. Does the Book of Mormon really contain the fullness of the gospel? LDS leaders have declared it again and again—but the Book of Mormon is missing nearly every distinctive doctrine that defines modern Mormonism. There’s no temple endowment, no celestial marriage, no baptism for the dead, no three degrees of glory… So if this is “the most correct book on earth,” where is the actual gospel? We break it all down—both what’s in the book and, more importantly, what’s not. 🔍 Want more deep dives?

  2. The Apostolic Fraud—Why LDS Apostles Fail the Biblical Test

    The Apostolic Fraud—Why LDS Apostles Fail the Biblical Test

    The LDS Church claims its apostles are just like the original Twelve—called of God, special witnesses of Christ, and part of a restored authority. But what if that claim doesn’t hold up to their own standard? In this episode, we break down the biblical qualifications for apostleship—and show exactly how modern LDS apostles fail every one of them. From the absence of direct encounters with Christ, to changing definitions of “special witness,” to doctrinal contradictions buried in the Doctrine and Covenants—this isn’t just a doctrinal difference. It’s a system built on borrowed titles and unearned authority. We’re not here to promote another religion. We’re here to hold the LDS Church accountable to the very scriptures it claims to restore.

  3. Prophets or Predators? The Early LDS Practice of Teenage Brides

    Prophets or Predators? The Early LDS Practice of Teenage Brides

    For decades, the LDS Church has taught that its early prophets were called by God to restore His gospel. But behind closed doors, these so-called prophets engaged in a disturbing pattern targeting teenage girls for marriage under the guise of divine revelation. In this episode, we expose the unsettling reality of early Mormon polygamy, revealing how Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and other high-ranking LDS leaders married girls as young as 12. These were not just marriages—they were acts of coercion, manipulation, and control, all justified by claims of celestial rewards. Many of these marriages can still be verified on FamilySearch, but where records are incomplete, we’ve compiled all of our sources for independent verification.

  4. Reed Smoot and the Congressional Battle Over Mormon Power

    Reed Smoot and the Congressional Battle Over Mormon Power

    Struggling with faith transition? Get support at https://churchexpositor.com/pages/faith-transition-coaching For decades, the LDS Church has claimed patriotism—but behind closed doors, Mormons once swore a blood oath of vengeance against the U.S. government. This secret temple ritual, introduced by Brigham Young, vowed retaliation for Joseph Smith’s murder—against America itself. The Reed Smoot Hearings exposed more than just a senator’s loyalty. They uncovered decades of deception, secret polygamy, and church leaders openly lying to the U.S. government. Despite overwhelming evidence, the Senate let Smoot stay in office, believing his testimony over hard proof of fraud and secrecy. How much has the LDS Church covered up? Listen now to uncover the truth.

    Brigham Young’s Treason | The Mormon Insurrection Against America

    In 1857, Brigham Young declared martial law, raised an army, and waged a rebellion against the U.S. government. The Utah War—a forgotten chapter in American history—reveals the lengths the LDS Church went to defy federal authority and maintain its theocratic rule. Why did Brigham Young resist the U.S. government? How did Mormon militias sabotage the U.S. Army? What was the REAL reason President Buchanan sent troops to Utah? This isn’t the version of history the LDS Church wants you to know. We’ll break down Brigham Young’s defiance, the Nauvoo Legion’s attacks, the government’s response, and the violent tactics used to maintain power. What do you think? Was Brigham Young defending religious freedom or committing treason? Let us know in the comments!

In this episode, we uncover the hidden truths, cover-ups, and the role of LDS leaders like Brigham Young in the events that led to this tragedy. We’ll explore the motivations behind the massacre, the deceptive tactics used, and how the Church tried to shift the blame for over a century.

    The Dark Side of Brigham Young's Business Dealings

We’ll explore the B.K. Tannery and its ties to church resources, how tithing money funded Young’s personal business empire, his involvement in banking, distilleries, and even alcohol production, and the ethical questions surrounding his dual roles as prophet and businessman.

    The Adam-God Theory: A Doctrine the LDS Church Wants Forgotten

    Support Us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/behindtheveil Visit Our Website: https://churchexpositor.com The Adam-God theory—a doctrine declared by Brigham Young—has stirred controversy within and outside the LDS Church for over a century. What was once taught as divine truth has now been labeled as “false doctrine” by modern leaders. But what really happened? In this episode, we delve into the origins of the Adam-God theory, Brigham Young’s bold claims, and the lasting impact on LDS theology. From its introduction in the 1852 General Conference to its integration into temple ceremonies, this teaching was anything but insignificant. We’ll explore how it was received, why it was eventually dismissed, and what it reveals about the dynamics of LDS leadership and doctrinal authority. Was Brigham Young's teaching a misunderstood revelation, or was it a grave misstep? Join us as we uncover the history, the evidence, and the fallout of one of the most controversial doctrines in Mormon history.
