Radio Free Mormon: Where Will You Go: 038 

Big fan of RFM and profound contribution to the exmo community 👏

My mind has been blown by the arrogance of Pres Nelson building unwanted and unnecessary temples. It's hurting the people who are living in the neighborhoods they are being built.

Thank you RFM for educating this host!

Good interview, Marti! I'm a fan of you both. You asked RFM some thoughtful questions, and that lead to discussions that I don't think I've ever heard him speak about before.

Keep going, Marti! Many of these comments encapsulate the black-and-white mindset you are discussing with RFM at the start of this video. Your thoughts and ideas may not be fully formed or expressed yet, but they will come with time. Your voice is a welcome counterbalance on this channel.

Thank you for this interview! I think RFM is a hoopy frood, but that's only because I'm old and nerdy enough to get a lot of his obscure Gen X references.

How about asking the Mormon church to pay all the lunchroom charges across the state that people in Utah can’t afford.

“Hmm I don’t know,” “I don’t know,” “Hmm…” Dang, I found Marti incredibly annoying, but she may still be confused and duped by the LDS church. I guess it’s hard for some people to break away fully and recover from drinking the kool-Aid. Loved commentary from RFM, so interesting and refreshing to hear real truth

Turn the Sunday School into a monthly testimonial meeting, where you have multiple guests bear a brief testimony of why they now know that the Church isn't true. Combine 2 of the others into a common topic.

I love the Monday newscast! 💛🌻

I appreciate that you both are trying to be generous and assume the best, but, as you correctly pointed out, they are willing to lie to protect the church AND it's hold on the mindsets of the members. So, they are willing to break the laws of Christ in order to strengthen Christ's position amongst the people on the earth - sounds noble. However, the leaders constantly emphasize personal integrity and teach that one should never offend god's laws, no matter what! (This is mostly to create an urgency to follow the leaders.) But, they clearly do not exemplify the priority of personal integrity in their own behavior. And, the church as an institution also does not demonstrate this priority. It's easy to show that the leaders have lied on many points. That is, they did not misspeak, they deliberately misrepresented what they knew as truth. At that point they are done. They are not representing God.

Spreading their truth!

I once read that organizations over time tend to change their emphasis from their goals to their structure.

I'm going to the Temples of Syrinx.

Recently I've heard of curses related to the Mormon church back in the Joseph Smith days. I don't understand why a church that's the right Church the only true church would have any curses with it. And worse for those who leave after they have found it or been baptized.

I enjoy making Mormon friends.

If you say you’re changing the doctrine then it isn’t gaslighting. If they pretend they never said it or the new doctrine doesn’t contradict old doctrine, that is gaslighting.

I left the church and became an atheist. Its common to see this binary response rather than ex-members going to another high-demand religion. My opinion is that they become an atheist more often than evangelical.

This lady should really listen to the debate RFM already had with Midnight Mormons 3Stooges and this would answer her questions this is essentially what this interview was

Commenting to help.

Leaving anything that is demonstrably false offers minimally a chance of finding Truth.

RFM,why don't you find Bishop unapproved substitutes for your weekly Sunday School program?

I wish the interviewer would look at the camera instead of wherever she was looking.

RFM does have a certain set of skills

This young lady is just in the beginning stages of questioning the Church. I hopping she continues to question and listens to people like RFM and others that can speak clearly in thoughtful ways that encourages more detective work.

In ter es ting. Bit off more than you could chew no? Keep Sh kes pe a re a weekly. Make Sunday School once a month, Mormonism news, twice a month, Mormonism live and RFM keep them weekly. My advice. I find it interesting the role that Rebecca B. Is taking in the Mormon skeptic blogosphere. She is a unique person, both beautiful and smart. The crime stuff is interesting too because it’s the only window I have on those Utah-centric scandals. So keep doing those as those situations evolve. I think it would also be very enlightening if you were to do a series on matters related to the homelessness/drug addict problems in the greater Mormon centric geography of the western US, starting with Seattle, on thru Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City and so on. I think your perspective on these critical issues in our part of the country. Your program with Carah was really good. You and she are great together. In particular, she has an important and unique base of subscribers and your intellectualism and precision in use of the English language with her are as unique and important influence on her. It’s a shame that she did not get more higher education, but she is young enough that that could yet happen. She is obviously highly intelligent and has high ethical standards, so your role with her on that particular joint program was truly positive and fun to watch. Also, I think it would be highly interesting for you to have joint appearances with though leaders such as Lex Fridman, Jordan Peterson, and Aaron Smith - Levin. Perhaps with you more in the role of interviewee instead of being the interviewer. Finally, I hope that in some way, you can maintain a strong working relationship with Kerry Shirts. I am constantly blown away by the breadth and depth of that man’s interests, knowledge and abilities. For you to engage with him on the various topics he covers could be particularly enlightening for fans of you both. I am particularly struck by his most recent “Documentary” on Cosmic Buddhism. Not only is his narrative superb, erudite, and displaying knowledge of fields I did not know he had any interest in or particular knowledge about. The artwork and photography are quite strikingly beautiful and relevant to his subject matter. It would not be that much of a stretch for this and perhaps other such program he may be developing to become even more polished and cinematic to the point thats his work could perhaps transition into Hollywood-style projects worthy of inclusion in major film festivals and up for consideration as candidates for major movie industry awards.

Hate the insinuations that create misunderstandings (that the church benefits from). Such games!

You need to get a hold of a RU-vidr called Peter Monn. He tell you how to maybe juggle it a little a fun guy too. He lives in Indiana.

I think putting her on the left side of the screen would be more pleasing to the eyes.

Is this lady a host or a guest?

Underhanded? What could be more underhanded than D&C 132:54?

She is still struggling in some ways..but thats ok..she is trying to believe in herself i feel..❤

RFM? More like RF Gem

Why should I give the church an off ramp?

Every new temple in Utah is an embarrassment.

Where is she looking?

Ronald Poelman

Difficult to tell if she’s friend or foe!

Anyone who thinks RFM doesn’t know the truth.? I wish he would do a similar podcast on non Mormon Christianity

Did this interviewer do any research and prep? RFM, I hope to get your views on this subject with Bill. This is unwatchable.

Wtf is this interviewer for real. Doesn’t seems like she’s really left the church.

30:00 It’s why I switched from LDS to Evangelical Christian. The LDS Church used to do a good job in teaching its principles to its members. As a believer, however, I could no longer believe that Mormonism was the correct way to live according to principles Jesus taught through those people who wrote down what he said when he was alive and shortly thereafter. Also: be careful of believing in Science as the antithesis of religion. Long ago, people used mythology to explain God’s creation. Now, we have science to correctly take what God has created and quantify it in terms of scientific principles. All religion is simply the organized worship of our Creator. Some religion is better than others. The man-made rules and rituals, such as the LDS temple, are largely unnecessary much past having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Hello guys

Noooo…. Focus on the Shakespeare!!!!

This lady doesn't get it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Publication of half truths is no excuse for continuing to lie.
