MormonTalk

We chat about how the church and its culture encourage "lying for the Lord", and lead members into a cycle of self deception and justification.

Dave and Mike explore the real three entities driving the church and its membership, with a focus on how the church uses guilt and the damage it does.

Does the concept of "elitism" enter into a discussion about the LDS culture? We think so. Also, like many things in the doctrine and culture of the church, it's harmful to members and nonmembers alike.

We talk about the rampant sexual abuse -- especially the abuse of minors ---that has been happening within the LDS church since its inception, how the culture and policies have helped foster and hide it, and how it has started to become more public over the past several years.

Lawrence Corbridge (General Authority, Seventy) gave a BYU devotional talk in January 2019 where he suggested a method for finding truth, and what to do with questions about the church. Dave and Mike pick it apart.
