Associated Press: ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ cast aren’t the only influencers sowing curiosity about the church. “Until quite recently, the prevailing image to outsiders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been male missionaries wearing white shirts and name tags, evoked by the hit Broadway show ‘The Book of Mormon.’ But another unofficial face of the male-led […]

Hype for the Future 133LDS: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

After New York, the historic sites associated with Joseph Smith had pushed increasingly westward, from a site in Harmony (now known as Oakland), Pennsylvania, west to sites in Kirtland, Ohio, followed by Nauvoo, Illinois. After being […] -
“He aspired not only to spiritual leadership but also to political power. Rather than earn the devotion of his followers, Strang demanded that his councilors take a comprehensive oath of fealty during a private ceremony, replete with the theatrics of secret handshakes and gestures.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/02/03/he-aspired-not-only-to-spiritual-leadership-but-also-to-political-power-rather-than-earn-the-devotion-of-his-followers-strang-demanded-that-his-councilors-take-a-comprehensive-oath-of-fealty-durin/ #aspired #BeaverIsland #book #BrighamYoung #comprehensive #conspiracy #councilors #demanded #devotion #earn #fanaticism #followers #gestures #gothicDrama #highTragedy #history #JamesStrang #JohnJMiller #JosephSmith #LakeMichigan #LatterDaySaints #mormonism #Nonfiction #oathOfFealty #politicalPower #Polygamy #pride #privateCeremony #quote #ReligionSpirituality #repleteWith #secretHandshakes #sex #spiritualLeadership #theatrics #violence -

The Mortdale Stake (Sydney Australia) received an email informing them the area had been selected for a Pilot Program named Informed Consent. The email included links to church sites for sources for all the statements. Upon examination it becomes clear it's not an official church-sanctioned email, but a disillusioned member who had access to the stake email system. https://wasmormon.org/email-to-sydney-australia-mortdale-stake-pilot-program-informed-consent/

Hinckley says he's not worried that Joseph Smith's multiple versions of his First Vision. He dismisses these different versions of the vision without ever mentioning any differences in the accounts. His goal is calming members who have heard of these strange accounts, and hope they will not look at them.

https://wasmormon.org/joseph-smith-was-a-glass-looking-treasure-digger/ The church denied the strange magic practices of Joseph's Smith. Facts they now claim were commonplace. The church apologists yearn to dismiss the practices as astrology or gambling today, but does that make them better? They denied Joseph was involved and that he used his seer stone for treasure digging out translation.

Book of Mormon Anachronisms – Slippery Treasures and Treasure Digging Concepts
The Smith family and other treasure seekers believed that enchantments on buried treasure had the power to move the location of the treasure under the earth so that those seeking the hidden valuables could not acquire them. These were called slippery treasures.

https://wasmormon.org/mormons-call-the-church-president-the-prophet-but-havent-always/
Mormons Call the Church President the Prophet But Haven’t Always. By elevating the status of the church president to that of a “Prophet,” the leadership strengthened its influence over all aspects of Mormon life, including political matters.

According to the data found in family search January 1845 is when Lorenzo Snow began his married life. Then in November, he married his second wife, and 3 months later he married wife #3 and #4 on the same day. One of which was only 18 years old at the time of marriage. The “growing” family soon migrated west, following Brigham Young’s leadership, and continued adding wives.

i am bringing forth a book of scripture :)
it's personal scripture, but there are revelations and messages for the Saints therein. for ex.,
one of the sections is titled and speaks to the "Unity of the Saints"since i am writing the record, in a word processor rather than gold plates like #Mormon and Moroni, i have titled it "The Book of Wednesday"
as more is written and revealed i will likely share some of it.

#ReligiousTrauma #mormonism #exmo #criticalthinking I have interviewed several #ExMormons on the Divorcing Religion Podcast & had them as speakers at #CORT (the Conference on Religious Trauma). Mormonism is an intense & high-demand religious group, viewed by many as a #cult - or at least, culty.
