Radio Free Mormon at Sunstone this Year

[_Shulem]

I was considering having all attendees sign a legal document that they will not record the proceedings.

That won't help much if NewNameNoah happens to be there.



And Candybaby was hitting on you earlier.

Do you believe any of the Mormon truth claims and if not, was there an aha moment or was it a slow burn that eventually burned the whole house down?

I think my story is probably the slowest burn in the history of slow burns.

By the time I smelled smoke the house was in ashes.

Consig,

You've seen the Church make many changes during your life as a member. Where do you see the Church's stance in 25 years on:

- Book of Mormon historicity
- the Book of Abraham
- gay marriage.

I think we are already seeing the church relax its rigidity on literal translation claims for the Book of Mormon as well as the Book of Abraham, which will only continue.

I expect the church will also relax its rigidity on gay issues.

Consig,

What outcomes are you trying to achieve with your podcast?

I really have no concrete outcomes envisioned.

I am just having a blast talking about Mormonism in a format where the church can't stop me or control what I say.

Been there. Done that. Not fun.

[_consiglieri]

Which issue do you think will prove the most damaging to the church during the years 2020-2030?

The church leaders' insistence on strict obedience to their teachings in the face of increasingly widespread data showing they are not inspired.

What I would really enjoy hearing...perhaps even in a RFM podcast episode is your “Mormon Story”. How does someone so intelligent, articulate and well read on church matters, so much so that they even taught an institute class on LDS apologetics...lose belief in the church? What was the catalyst of your faith transition?

Consig,

Has the Church been a net positive in your life? Do you feel your life would have been better or more fulfilling without the Church?

[_Gadianton]

Consig,

Was your faith strengthened or weakened by Mopologetics?

Having just finished reading Amber Scorah’s book “Leaving the Witness” and also, knowing that you have , I believe, a brother who is JW, I would love to know more of that dynamic. Most JW’s are purposely uneducated and have blue collar jobs due to their view of what’s the point the world is ending any day now, Just curious about your conversations with him and his family etc.

What if that 10% of Consig's income was placed into a long term retirement account rather than into the investment accounts of the church?

Just think about how much money you've lost, Consig. Just think how much you'd have today had you not wasted all that money on the church.

I know, I know, it makes one sick. It was a very poor investment on your part. You wasted all that money.
