Should We Ban YSA Wards Until We Figure Out What’s Going On?

A new wave of anti-Mormon content is recycling old claims that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with demons and occult rituals.In this episode we break down a recent video from the Catholic channel *Jesus and Whatnot* that argues Joseph Smith had more demonic encounters than any other religious figure. We examine:- The unreliable 1833 Hurlbut affidavits (black sheep sacrifice, toad spirit, etc.)- Why high demon interaction does **not** equal demonic inspiration (Jesus had far more)- How the same logic would disqualify biblical prophets- The accounts of Joseph Smith actually casting out demons that get conveniently left outThis is a clear example of how weak sources get recycled into confident-sounding attacks. We take the claims apart piece by piece.#JosephSmith #AntiMormon #Debunked #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: A new anti-Mormon trope is being born 1:30 – The Ethan Muse debate connection 3:00 – Optics in debates & looking “possessed” 5:00 – Double standards with other religious founders 8:00 – “Joseph Smith has the most encounters with demons” 9:10 – Replace “Joseph Smith” with “Jesus” and watch it fall apart 11:00 – The black sheep “demonic ritual” claim (Hurlbut affidavit) 14:00 – Why the sheep story is historically weak 16:00 – Doctor Philastus Hurlbut: the Mark Hofmann of his day 18:20 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 19:00 – The “toad spirit” / frog magic story 21:30 – Biblical prophets also had intense spiritual confrontations 23:00 – Job, Jacob wrestling the angel, and Saul on the road to Damascus 26:30 – The Harvey Whitlock “possession” during ordination 28:00 – Jesus’ disciples also failed to cast out demons 30:00 – Joseph Smith successfully casting out demons (the part they leave out) 32:00 – Newel Knight’s firsthand account of being healed 34:00 – “I’m just asking questions” energy 35:30 – Final thoughts: Gossip vs. real historyJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

A new wave of anti-Mormon content is recycling old claims that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with demons and occult rituals.In this episode we break down a recent video from the Catholic channel *Jesus and Whatnot* that argues Joseph Smith had more demonic encounters than any other religious figure. We examine:- The unreliable 1833 Hurlbut affidavits (black sheep sacrifice, toad spirit, etc.)- Why high demon interaction does **not** equal demonic inspiration (Jesus had far more)- How the same logic would disqualify biblical prophets- The accounts of Joseph Smith actually casting out demons that get conveniently left outThis is a clear example of how weak sources get recycled into confident-sounding attacks. We take the claims apart piece by piece.#JosephSmith #AntiMormon #Debunked #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: A new anti-Mormon trope is being born 1:30 – The Ethan Muse debate connection 3:00 – Optics in debates & looking “possessed” 5:00 – Double standards with other religious founders 8:00 – “Joseph Smith has the most encounters with demons” 9:10 – Replace “Joseph Smith” with “Jesus” and watch it fall apart 11:00 – The black sheep “demonic ritual” claim (Hurlbut affidavit) 14:00 – Why the sheep story is historically weak 16:00 – Doctor Philastus Hurlbut: the Mark Hofmann of his day 18:20 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 19:00 – The “toad spirit” / frog magic story 21:30 – Biblical prophets also had intense spiritual confrontations 23:00 – Job, Jacob wrestling the angel, and Saul on the road to Damascus 26:30 – The Harvey Whitlock “possession” during ordination 28:00 – Jesus’ disciples also failed to cast out demons 30:00 – Joseph Smith successfully casting out demons (the part they leave out) 32:00 – Newel Knight’s firsthand account of being healed 34:00 – “I’m just asking questions” energy 35:30 – Final thoughts: Gossip vs. real historyJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Disagreement On The Church's Mask Recommendation

We believe the Bible to be the word of God with a solid caveat... that it is translated correctly and Thessalonians 5:22 has to be one of the most epic mistranslations in world history!
