THEY NEVER DESTROYED THE HELPLINE RECORDS! Did RFM just catch the LDS Church lying about its CSA Helpline records? In order to avoid turning over Helpline records, the Church has previously sworn all the records are destroyed at the end of each day. Now suddenly, in order to defend itself against the allegations of Beau… Read More »LDS Church Caught Lying!!! RFM: 440
RFM and esteemed co-counsel Kolby Reddish dissect Chapter 12 of Austin Fife’s “Lite on Truth Letter.” They completely decimate the apologetic attempt to make excuses for why Mormon prophets have a historically disastrous record of making failed prophecies and disavowed doctrinal pronouncements. Astonishingly, some new apologists such as Austin Fife and Jacob Hansen are trying… Read More »When Mormon Prophets Get It Wrong! RFM: 439
Was Joseph Smith’s relationship with Fanny Alger an early plural marriage, a sexless sealing, or a scandalous sexual affair? Long before Nauvoo polygamy, secret sealings, or theological justifications, there was Fanny Alger; a teenage girl living in Joseph and Emma Smith’s home in Kirtland, Ohio. When the relationship was discovered, it triggered scandal, apostasy, and… Read More »Joseph Smith & Fanny Alger: Barely Scraping By
What does it say when you have to lie to defend your religion? Time to get a new religion? Not if you’re Jacob Hansen! For Jacob, lying is all in a day’s work for a Mormon apologist.

RFM: 437
The LDS Church teaches that its top leaders are prophets, seers, and revelators; men who speak for God and whose guidance deserves trust, obedience, and moral authority. When serious problems arise in Church history, doctrine, or policy, the most common explanation offered is simple: prophets are fallible. But does that explanation actually resolve the issue?… Read More »Does Prophetic Fallibility Solve the LDS Problem?

Black Skin A Curse From God? Rumors have been swirling recently that the LDS Church is changing certain verses in its African language translations of the Book of Mormon; certain verses that in the English Book of Mormon talk about black skin being a curse from God. The rumor is that those verses have been… Read More »LDS Church Changing Book of Mormon To Fool Africans? RFM: 434
We dig into one of the lesser-known but deeply revealing historical sources from early Mormonism: the Fayette Lapham interview with Joseph Smith Sr. Lapham’s account places Joseph Smith’s father in conversation about the earliest days of the movement — before the Church had polished narratives, before later offices were cleanly defined, and before memory had… Read More »Interview with Joseph Smiths Father

David Whitmer is one of the Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon, but his life after Mormonism raises some of the most challenging questions anyone serious about truth claims has to wrestle with.

When Radio Free Mormon says this is the show the LDS church doesn’t want you to see, he’s not kidding! The LDS church already took down the original version of this episode by lodging a copyright strike against it with YouTube. But now, what with Dallin H. Oaks being made president of the LDS church,… Read More »The Show The LDS Church Doesn’t Want You To See! RFM: 432
Radio Free Mormon and Kolby Reddish dissect chapter 17 of Austin Fife’s Light On Truth Letter.

Oliver Cowdery was more than Joseph Smith’s scribe. Oliver was a co-founder of the Mormon movement, a visionary of sacred experiences with Heavenly Messengers, and one of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon’s golden plates as well as an angel.

I loved every minute of this eposide. Thank you RFM for sharing this amazing experience.
Although McKays advice for Joe to find out what he believes is actually good.
Joe thoroughly refutes Mormonism.
I just started listening. oh my goodness I relate so hard. I feel like you're reading from a transcript in my brain in some parts. I was extremely disappointed by the SEC scandal also wondering why it felt it so intensely. I've been out 4 years. this caused me a solid day of feeling despondent and depressed. Thanks for helping me not feel alone in this.
BYP means Thetans.
Peter sounds exactly like Ricky Gervais.
ita amazing how the same logic he uses to debunk Mormonism can be used to debunk Christianity and their "relationship" with their imaginary friend.
These guy's theology is despicable.
I heard the latest John Gee interview. Oh, brother! He sounded tentative and largely unconvincing. Of course, he is scared. Shitless! So is Kerry Muhlestein! Their position is untenable. RFM would have eaten them for breakfast. First, it was the church authorities that took cover, leaving the dirty work to the apologists. Now, even the Apologists are hiding. What does that tell you? They are full of cow dung.
this was entertaining but didn't go far. I would love to hear more about his belief that Joseph Smith was not a polygamist. What evidence does he have?
rfm isn't apologitic, it's not anti either. The information he gives is pretty good, but he definitely leans into it and bashes.
this makes me so happy to hear that individuals who are or once were lds have the ideas in their minds to look at facts and to realize how much this hurts other people. thank you guys!
at 37:00... whew!
