  • Joseph and Fanny

    Joseph loved Fanny’s fanny. Another great episode…you both rock. I also love when you throw in some modern examples of members excusing leadership’s bad behavior (e.g., excusing the hiding of $Billons in ghost accounts) just like they excused Brother Joseph’s adultery and predatory sexual behavior on teenage girls.

  • Another “Far out” Episode

    Debunking bad Apologetics was super interesting but I am challenging Kolby’s statement that the Church makes $80 million every hour. They don’t. Because if they did that would total roughly $700 billion per year and a trillion dollars in a year and a half. Don’t think the Church investment team is that good.

After listening to bits and pieces here and there, the one episode I actually finished was the one where the host met Satan and instantly regretted it. Wow—that sounded intense. I mean, who wouldn’t regret meeting Satan? But when this “encounter” (told only a handful of times) turned out to be ... more
