Grant Palmer Returns to Discuss Sexual Allegations Against Joseph Smith, William and Jane Law, and His Resignation.

[_Patriarchal gripe]

I'm very interested in hearing about his decision to resign. I wonder if it was prompted by additional church discipline coming down the pike or recommendation to do so by a PH leader, or if he finally just had enough?

Look at the warning in RED:

Please do not listen if your faith is tender, or if you are seeking to avoid any critical discussion of Joseph Smith or the LDS church.

[_Polygamy-Porter]

Grant is doing the lord's work!

These attacks are to me evidence that the church is really true.

His stake prez said he must repudiate every chapter of his origins book AND regain his testimony to forgo being excommunicated.

Grant Palmer is resigning? After all this time?

"Your faith is tender"? Interesting choice of words.

I feel for Grant. He may have had some hope for LDS.

Listen to part three of the podcast. He felt he was left with the choice to resign or be excommunicated, so he resigned.

Lame.
