Captain William Kidd (or Robert Kidd) was a Scottish privateer. He was likely born in Dundee and later settled in New York City. But 1690, Kidd had become a highly successful privateer, commissioned to protect English interests in North America and the West Indies. In 1695, Kidd received a royal commission to hunt down pirates and enemy French ships in the Indian Ocean. Later, England turned against him and he was denounced as a pirate. He was arrested upon his return to Boston and stood trial in London. He was found guilty and hanged in 1701. Because of his quick arrest, many believed that Kidd hid or buried his hoards of treasure and sought to uncover it. Among those who hunted for Kidd's treasure was the man who would later be called the founder of the Mormon Church: Joseph Smith.

Join Julia and America as they discuss the sources connecting Joseph Smith's to Captain Kidd's buried treasure.

While the Relief Society started in 1842, it ended in 1844, and did not start up again for twenty years. The Relief Society once stood for women's rights and women's education, while maintaining their own autonomous structure -earning their own money, storing their own grain, writing their own periodicals, etc., little by little the leaders of the Church chipped away at the structure until it became just a shell of what it once was. Join with us as we give an overview of the history of the Relief Society.

The Equal Rights Amendment was written in 1923 by Alice Paul. It is only twenty-four words long and has still to this day NOT been ratified. The Amendment reads:

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

Despite the support from leading Mormon women in the early days of the church, the church is very much against the Equal Rights Amendment. Why? Join with Julia and America as they discuss the history of the ERA and how the Church responded (and continues to respond) to it.

On October 31, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Daniel Chappel, Masen Christensen and John Oaks.

U. S. News summarized it this way: "They claim the three of them combined have donated about $350,000 to the church over the past decade. Their lawsuit seeks class-action certification, potentially involving millions of church members, and an independent entity to oversee collection and use of church donations."
