As a continuation to our episode on excommunication, and in light of the impending excommunication of Nemo the Mormon,  we wanted to share this legendary talk by Jeremy Runnells, given at his own disciplinary council in 2016. 

From CESletter.org:

CES Letter is one Latter-day Saint's honest quest to get official answers from the LDS Church on its troubling origins, history, and practices. Jeremy Runnells was offered an opportunity to discuss his own doubts with a director of the Church Educational System (CES) and was assured that his doubts could be resolved. After reading Jeremy's letter, the director promised him a response. No response ever came.

From Hans Mattsson:

“Runnells’ CES Letter presents many historical issues concerning LDS history, which for many members has been a wake-up call. The letter deserves to be read, both in and out of the LDS community. Read with an open mind and you will understand why many members are asking questions.”
