Latter-Day Lesbian

This episode is all about the Mormon handbook's new policies against transgender people. Let's all raise a middle finger in the general direction of the LDS temple (it's as if Moroni is flipping a bird instead of blowing his trumpet). Along these lines, we also read a letter to the SLC Tribune written by our good friend Kimberly Anderson. So please grab a generous cup of outrage and join us, won't you?

This episode features letters from new name Laverne and Katheryn. Laverne was told by her church leaders to take on more and more responsibility (including raising her siblings) in order to please her deceased step mother. Makes total sense and seems about right for the Mormon church (insert eye rolling emoji). And we read about Katheryn bravely walking out on her abusive adoptive father's Thanksgiving dinner. Way to go, Katheryn!

This episode is pretty much all about Mary. In recognition of her recent interview on the Brave Files Podcast (episode #101 available on your favorite podcast app), we decided to dedicate this show to the Ed McMahon, or in more relevant terms, the Andy Richter of podcast hosts: Mary Rutt. Warning: it gets heavy and downright depressing at times. There. You've been warned. We also have a FUMPOTD, a He Said What, and Sister Fanny Fact Check pays us a visit.

This episode features a letter from Elizabeth. She's a never Mo, ex evangelical...which is also fun (uh, that was sarcasm). Her minister compared her interest in women to his interest in murdering people. Sounds like a great guy (also sarcastic). Give a listen, won't you?

In this episode we interview Linda Kay Klein, author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free. This was a fascinating episode and one to not miss (in our humble opinions). Linda references her website: lindakayklein.com, her non profit organization: breakfreetogether.org and David Dickerson who authored: House of Cards: The True Story of How a 26-Year-Old Fundamentalist Virgin Learned about Life, Love, and Sex by Writing Greeting Cards.

This week's letter is from Ari, a never-mo transgender woman who met her fiancé during a performance of a very iconic cult classic. Can you guess which one based on the title of this episode? Pretty sure Shelly is still confused. Hint: there's no Venus flytrap character. So grab a cup of Apostate Coffee and give a listen, won't you?

In this episode we read a series of reports from our plant inside the Mission Training Center (we're sneakier than the Mormon Strengthening Church Members Committee). Also, we have an amazing FUMPOTD, and we hear from Sister Fanny Fact Check. Then special guest, Annie, recounts the best ways to manipulate potential converts (you crushed it, Annie). Please join us, won't you?

This week's letter writer cracks Mary up, as in, a big belly laugh. Shelly is left a bit baffled, proving what a difference an 8-year age gap can make. Confused? Give a listen to the episode and see what we mean.

Diana joins us for another fast and testimony episode, and this time she tells us all about the Enneagram Test. We can't seem to get the name right though...Banana Gram? Wait - Candy Gram? Uh...Teddy Grahams? And no, Shelly, you're not a "yellow" (no idea what test she's taking).

In this episode Diana references The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut PhD, Neurobiologist Dr. Jerome Lubbe, and The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile.

This week we hear from Chris on nude paintings, that caused the spirit to leave (and frightened neighborhood children), and rocking a Jesus beard. Way to break those Mormon norms, hairy Chris.
