This week, Fanny Fact Check recorded here in person! She and her "companion" were our visiting teachers. Mary felt a bit funny about the visit, to which she was reminded that "the spirit" was simply letting her know she was misbehaving. Glad we could clear that up. Also, the FUMPOTD is obviously fake, and Bednar is the subject of a self-righteous, "He Said What?!?" Should be a good time!

On this episode we discuss the LDS recent opinions over the debate about the ban on conversion therapy. Uh yeah. Just when you think this crap can't get any crazier. Ugh! Also, Fanny Fact Check helps figure out what a Zelph it is. Turns out it has nothing to do with a shelf. Go figure. All that and more, so please give a listen!

Join us for an amazing Testimony Meeting from our Utah meet-n-greet the day after the Protect Every Child March and Rally in Salt Lake City. Mary enjoys her first sip of "Pay Lay Ale," which is not actually a Joseph Smith inspired micro brew, it's the most recent FUMPOTD. Also, the audience helps us with a special Butthole Bednar, "He Said What" segment. Please join us! We desire all to partake.

Welcome to Episode 16 of LDL Letters! In this episode Amy writes in with a tribute to her first love, Jean Anne. It's a heartbreaking story of the intense pressure churches often inflict in an effort to get us to conform to their impossible religious standards. Stories like this can be terribly sad, but can also provide a way for us to heal and help put an end to the oppressive control and abuse doled out in the name of God.

Diana's back! And she has some great tips on what to take with you when you leave religion. Some stuff is actually cool, and it's yours to keep! Find out what during this super interesting conversation (well, at least we think so). Also, Fanny Fact Check enlightens us once again, and Mary (the never mo) stumps Shelly and Diana on an amazing FUMPOTD (thanks, Bryce Blankenagel).

Welcome to Episode 15 of LDL Letters! This week: Ben comes out to his wife as asexual, and Martie discloses sexual abuse by a family member and later by a Mormon bishop. Warning: this episode discusses violent themes, but we feel it's important to shed light on the abuse that can occur within religious institutions. As a reminder, we will be at the Protect Every Child march in Salt Lake City on October 5th. Please join us as we bring awareness to this really important issue.
