Heaven's Helpline

How far has the Mormon church gone to cover up abuse? When journalist Murray Jones started looking into the church's finances in New Zealand, an intriguing Facebook post alerted him to a much bigger - and much darker - scandal. From the NZ Herald, Heaven's Helpline is a six-part investigation into how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built a system thatprotects its wealth and reputation – and shields sexual predators from the law. Listen to episodes weekly from October 17th. Funded by NZ on Air.

Massive, Unwarranted Temple Building
3 天前
Like Scientology & their “Ideal Orgs,” alas, the LDS Church is spending billions to build Temples worldwide on a massive scale, when the active church membership numbers don’t warrant such construction. Imagine the good they could do if they spent those billions to help the needy & disenfranchised. Sigh. Thank you for the great reporting!
The Broken System and Misguided “Church” should be known by all
2月3日
All members should know the dark secrets the church hides while active members sell the church to friends and family as a safe and happy place for all. So much writing on the wall about this dangerous system. Members and investigators should follow their gut and not their leaders. Unfortunately, I did not know about lots of things happening around me as a believing member for almost 40 years. Thank you for bringing this story to light and I hope you continue to spread the news so people may be aware and protect more individuals from being abused.

This is an absolute listen!! This podcast has affirmed so much for me as I transition out of my membership of the church. Thank you so much for all the work and dedication to report this. I dare say it was exactly what I needed as I look at the contents of my broken shelf.
Heartrending and Necessary
2024/12/28
I spent the greater part of 40 years believing the LDS church was infallible. It took 3 years to unravel the tangle of truths and lies the church has made. This type of investigative journalism is invaluable for people like me that are unable to see things in the church on a global scale. The story is skillfully told and, while painful and saddening to listen to, it’s a story that must be told and heard be church members and non-members alike.

This is such an important story to share to the world. Thank you for shining a light on this horrible tragedy that continues on. The more people are aware of this corruption the more likely there can be change for the better.
Accurate and fair

I pray that the LDS church will change its policies and protect the vulnerable. Also, stop demanding tithing from your members. How greedy can you be?
Phenomenal reporting

I’m an ex Mormon from Utah, and this podcast is amazing about highlighting a lot of faults in the church with an objective lens. Murray shares important stories that definitely resonate with where I grew up, even half a world away. Murray also really nails the Mormon hierarchy and breakdown of the church structures/teachings as well, especially for someone who never has been Mormon! Phenomenal podcast, great work, excellent production.
Great podcast

This is extremely well researched, and the host is very balanced. When I learned the true history of the church I stopped believing, but when I read the AP article, I had to remove my name from the records. ( you know, through a lawyer, and had to get it notarized lol) Thank you for this reporting. It’s important.
