Radio Free Mormon’s Rules for Teaching Sunday School!

I have taught hundreds of Sunday school lessons over my time in Mormonism.

By the time I was 32-years old, I had some decidedly unorthodox rules for teaching in Church.

I recently discovered a paper I wrote more than 30-years ago setting forth those unorthodox rules.

Here it is for the first time in this or any other format . . . Radio Free Mormon’s Rules for Teaching Sunday School!

I know you’ve heard it before and you’re going to hear it again at least one more time today. You’re not meant to be everyone’s cup of tea.

Today we discuss the reality that you may fully accept who someone is and STILL not be compatible with their reality. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with them. It just means that for at least some areas of your life, their way of being and yours just don’t line up well. AND THAT’S OK!

In today’s episode, we discuss how to recognize when you’re compatible with someone and what to do when you’re not so that you can build a network of people around you who not only fully see you, but really like what they see.

The post Emancipate Your Mind: 114: How to Deal With Relationship Incompatibility Without Driving Yourself Crazy appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup.

One of the key components in the controversy over whether Joseph Smith or Brigham Young instituted plural marriage is the dating of Section 132.

Some proponents of the idea Brigham Young started plural marriage in the Church argue Section 132 was written by Brigham Young or someone at his direction AFTER Joseph Smith died, but was falsely attributed to Joseph Smith by Brigham Young when it was first published in the 1876 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants.

RFM presents a textual analysis of three affidavits published June 7, 1844 in the Nauvoo Expositor which conclusively demonstrates the text of Section 132 existed in all material respects during Joseph Smith’s lifetime.  This means Section 132 was not created by Brigham Young or anyone else after Joseph Smith’s death.

The post RFM: 284: The Mormon Polygamy Controversy! appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup.

There is a raging debate within Mormon circles where those folks who are determined to maintain belief in the Prophet Joseph Smith but who abhor polygamy and the Church as ran by Brigham Young and after have found ways to dismiss the standard evidence that Mormonism’s founder was a polygamist. They interpret the evidence as made up by Brigham Young and those around him in an effort to draw Joseph Smith into a practice he never participated in. Stories of fabricating history, backdating prophesy, and discrediting witnesses. On this week’s episode Bill & RFM with a few friends take a look at the evidence and to see if one has compelling reasons to believe Joseph Smith was, in fact, a polygamist!

MAIN CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM REASON

1.) Clayton Journal Entries can be shown to be reliable

2.) D&C 132 is shown to be reliable as the text of the revelation that Smith received

3.) There is substantial Evidence that imposes that Smith originated and perpetuated Polygamy

4.) Hyrum Smith read the revelation in a High Council Meeting and Joseph and Hyrum tried to excuse the revelation away in the Nauvoo City Council but not a the way that allows Polygamy deniers to impose a narrative of “Eternity Only Sealings” or “Dynastic Sealings”. Hence they must confront why Hyrum and Joseph don’t respond using the narrative they have created.

5.) That any attempt to explain Joseph’s practice as “eternal only” and not time is irrational in light of Hyrum and Joseph’s attempt to walk back the doctrine/revelation of plural marriage by explaining it was in regards to former times and had nothing to do with the present. In other words Dynastic Sealings or relationships in the hereafter that are not binding or sexual in this life is not going to strike fear and anger and rebelliousness in Emma, along with pushback and resentment in Marks, Cowles, and Soby and can be explained without embarrassment. But when Joseph and Hyrum tip their hand by making the excuse that this revelation is about former times and not the present, we can rationally conclude this wasn’t eternal only or dynastic relationships that lacked sex or marriage in this life.(While we didn’t show it, Orange Wight’s autobiography also imposes that Smith had Flora Woodworth as a wife and he was notified that because of such, she was taken. Hence this wasn’t a eternity only relationship.)

On May 21st of 2023, President and Sister Oaks gave a worldwide devotional to the youth of the church. Much of what they said is not new to any longtime member of the church, but there were a few key moments worth commenting on. The title of this episode is inflammatory, but give the episode a listen and decide for yourself if I misunderstood what President Oaks said in his address.
