Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content Today we continue with our series on John W. Taylor and the history that surrounds his life. On today’s episode we cover a truly fascinating time in Mormon History. We left off last time right as the LDS Church was about to sign the Manifesto. Well today we are going to go over that and also how the LDS Church continued to perform Plural Marriages. We cover how the LDS Church tried to keep this practice hidden, the colonies in Mex...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content So last year Michael Ness and I sat down and had a conversation about Joseph W Musser. I got a lot of great feedback from that episode. With that in mind I decided that I wanted to put out more content like that which dealt with Mormon Fundamentalist history and its prominent players. This time Michael joins me again as we discuss John W Taylor. Now we anticipate that this will be a two- or three-part series, on this first instalm...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content I firmly believe that what our nation is facing right is all do to a plan that was enacted almost one hundred years ago. The progressives sought to “help society progress past the constitution”. Now these people were patient. However, every so often during that one hundred there would be moments that the plan would be accelerated. I believe the decade of the 1960’s were one of those times. Now while certainly most people in Americ...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content Utah is perhaps the most unique state in the union. It is a state where not only freedom is embraced but carrys a belief that freedom and rights come from God. Now this has served Utah well for a long time. Unfortunately, this also attracts unwanted attention for those who want to subvert these founding ideals. They feel like if they can turn Utah left they can get it done anywhere. On this episode I have Utah’s political watch-do...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content If you remember about this time last year I had the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with Julie Behling. At that time Julie had just wrote the book Beneath Sheep’s Clothing which uncovered the various tactics the far-left uses to indoctrinate children in public education. Well she is comes back on the podcast to talk about the documentary that was made from the book. We talk about new things she had learned about th...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content This week Hulu dropped a new documentary about Ervil LeBaron. I think over all the documentary was pretty well done. However, it was produced in a way that would appeal to a very large audience and had to be told in a way that would make sense to a largely non-mormon audience. I had other questions about this story. Mainly what was happening inside the Joel LeBaron’s Church of The First Born that set the table for Ervils insanity....

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content There are so many cool things about Mormonism. Plurality of Gods, Priesthood, Ascension to Godhood, Temple ordinances and on and on it goes. Perhaps one the most misunderstood of theses are seer stones. Many a Mormon has become a little freaked out about the topic and understandably so. I mean it’s not something that seems to be in the Christian vernacular a whole bunch. None the less we know that Joseph Smith used one as did Brig...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content Well its December 23, You didn’t really think that I would let Joseph’s birthday come and go without having an episode about him did ya? Joseph Smith weather you love him or hate him has had influence on the entire world for the last 218 years and that has no sign of changing. Today Ken Peterson joins me on the podcast to talk about perhaps Joseph’s most profound revelations and that is Temple theology. We look at Joseph’s theolog...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content For many years if you were a Mormon who wanted to practice Mormonism outside the mainstream LDS Church you could bet that you would encounter push back. Well today we live in a different world where that push back for the most part is gone. Now this is all well and good but we who enjoy being able to live Mormonism outside the LDS Church owe a debt of gratitude to those older generations that have preserved the truth for us. The b...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content So, the second or third episode I ever did of this podcast was about me. After a few months I just didn’t like it, so I took it down. I also never wanted the podcast to be about me, I wanted it to be about Mormon history and Mormon doctrine. Well fast forward a year and a half and I have had several requests for that episode. About the same time, I was approached by Greg Knight about him interviewing me for his magazine The Fundam...

I have just a quick announcement I need to make here. For those who have listened to this podcast from the beginning you know that for the last few years me and my family have attended church at The Righteous Branch of The Church Of The Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or as they are often referred to The Peterson Group. As of about three weeks after ago after a lot of prayer and family discussion me and my family have made the decision to no longer attend Church there or be members of that ch...

We talk about its prescription in the Word of Wisdom, from t...

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content One of the biggest things we as fundamentalists watch for is changing ordinances. As Joseph Smith said, “If there is no change of ordinances, there is no change of priesthood.” Now this seems simple on the surface but when does something become a change, verses cleaning up the language of an ordinance? Well today I have Drew Briney back on the podcast to talk about his new book “Changing Ordinances, Changing Priesthood?” that trie...

Addendum On George Q Cannon --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dave-kirkenbower/support

So there are certain things I never thought I would have to deal with when started this podcast. One of the things that took me by surprise were emails from listeners asking me if I knew someone they could go and talk to to try and improve their family relationships. I looked around and there weren’t too many councilors I felt comfortable referring Mormon Fundamentalists to. I did however find someone who I think could be a Godsend to some. Her name is Liz Bradley. I talked with Liz quite a bit ...
