    Bill, has to stop with ALL the constant “umm’s” in his speech.

    Plus Bill, the constant, “ I am just going to NOTE, the repeats every single thing that was just said by all the guest, including RFM.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden Cost of Mormon Belief: Conditioned From Childhood
Q: What is the median age when people begin to experience significant religious trauma in this context?
Trauma tends to begin when life events conflict with core beliefs, with many participants identifying awareness of their sexual orientation or gender identity during adolescence as a key triggering period.
Book of Mormon DNA
Q: What would you think should be done to address the erasure of indigenous people's culture?
I think that we need to reconnect with indigenous communities and hear their versions of what's happening, and actively listen to their stories.
Sarah Steed: Unmasking Mormonism
Q: What do you believe now that you didn't believe when you were a Mormon?
The biggest thing is how empowered I've become as a woman stepping away from the church.
The Reed Smoot Hearings: When Mormon Prophets Tell The Truth
Q: What did Joseph F. Smith declare about the Second Manifesto?
Joseph F. Smith declared that no plural marriages had occurred since the 1890 Manifesto, despite evidence suggesting otherwise, ultimately reaffirming church oversight in denying polygamy.
The Reed Smoot Hearings: When Mormon Prophets Tell The Truth
Q: What happened during the Reed Smoot Hearings?
The hearings brought about significant scrutiny into the Mormon Church's practices, especially regarding polygamy, and revealed how church leaders like Joseph F. Smith evaded questions about these practices.
