How Did Joseph Smith Know All This?
Tonight on Mormonism Live, we examine a recurring pattern in Joseph Smith’s prophetic career: when he encountered something mysterious, incomplete, inaccessible, or simply unknown, he rarely seemed content to say, “I don’t know.” Instead, he supplied an answer—and often an extraordinarily detailed one. A skeleton becomes Zelph, complete with a name, identity, history, and ancient… Read
LDS Church Caught Lying In Court: RFM: 478

RFM Slams Church Lawsuit: RFM: 471
The Mormon Church is claiming their lawsuit against John Dehlin has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Of course not!

Lying About Prophets: RFM: 470
Mormon apologist Jacob Hansen has chosen the hill he wants to die on.

Joseph Smith & Fanny Alger: Barely Scraping By
Was Joseph Smith’s relationship with Fanny Alger an early plural marriage, a sexless sealing, or a scandalous sexual affair?

Does Prophetic Fallibility Solve the LDS Problem?
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 Proph
