In my recent debate with ‪@shamelesspopery‬ on The Great Apostasy we had a question and answer session that did not make it into the final cut due to audio issues. However, the audio issues have been improved drastically and so I am now releasing that section of the debate.

Enjoy.

Is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints A Cult? Is it Transphobic? Does it protect child molesters? Beau Oyler is a former Latter-day Saint who recently went on ‪@SoftWhiteUnderbelly‬  a channel with almost 7 million subscribers. I think this interview is a case study in the sort of story telling interviews ex mormons often give and why they so often can be deeply problematic.

If the Church is harmful to LGBT people, why to faithful LGBT people have BETTER MENTAL HEALTH than LGBT people outside of the church?

SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION

Peer Reviewed Journal: Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity
LGBT LDS 2x less likely to have suicidal thoughts. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-9... Study confirmed this data.
https://foundations.prod.brigham-youn...

Institute for the Studies of Religion , Baylor University-
“In a surprising finding, Mormon LGBs report better mental health than non-Mormon LGBs, while their self-rated and physical health is not significantly different. However, there is some evidence that Mormon LGBs derive fewer health benefits from church attendance than their non-LGB Mormon counterparts”https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27633... Health Religion and Culture “Active Mormons reported having the best health status and, consequently, the lowest levels of mental illness.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1...

National Library of Medicine:
The suicide rate among active Latter-day Saint youth was lower than it was for peers from 1991-1995 when Rhetoric against homosexual behavior was far harsher than today. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11867...

The other day Joe Heschmeyer ‪released a video critiquing arguments made for the Book of Mormon by comparing similar arguments made for the Koran. But does Joe have a point? Are the arguments for the Book of Mormon no better than arguments for the Koran? My friend Luke Hanson from Ward Radio sent me over some of his thoughts, and frankly, I think after watching this you will see how Joes argument backfires big time.

Between January 1835 and December 1837, Joseph Smith experienced some of the most dramatic, spiritually rich, and challenging years of his life. This video dives deep into this pivotal period—marked by revelations, leadership developments, financial turmoil, and growing internal and external pressures on the young Church.
