  • We aren’t called “MORMONS”!

    That’s an offensive derogatory term first of all. Call us LDS people if you must. Secondly, our church is very true, and Joseph Smith WAS INDEED a true prophet. In fact the LDS church is the only true Christian faith. Third, the BOM is true and the Aztecs are literally the descendants of the Lamanites. So, Find SOMETHING else to do with your pathetic lives or you know, get a life. BASH SOMEONE ELSE.

  • Never Mormon, married to ForMan (Former Mormon)

    Love the podcast! Especially love the long format so you can really dive in to the topics

    Listening to the episode about polygamy (sure there will be many) and what strikes me most is the amount of misogyny from the clips of Ward news. Wow.
