Mormon Truth!!

Mormon Truth Podcast #10-Is Mormonism A Cult?!!-Part 2 This is a continuation of the last podcast and part 2 of "is Mormonism a cult?" In part 1, I discussed the first 7 of 15 items on the "cult checklist." Those that have already listened to part 1, know that we went 7-7 and so far, everything is checking out 100%, that Mormonism is indeed a cult, without a doubt. I shared many examples and I will share many more in this 2nd part of the podcast, covering items 8-15 on the "cult checklist." I will also include several clips from the pre-1990 temple ceremony, which will include the penalties that went along with it, which I sadly agreed to obey, out of fear and lifelong brainwashing. It is sick and twisted stuff and I can't believe that I agreed to give up my own life before revealing "the secrets" of the Mormon temple. If, after part 1, you still have doubts that Mormonism is a cult, this 2nd part, should be able to easily erase that doubt and convince you that Mormonism is definitely a cult. I also share a clip of Spencer W. Kimball, one from Hinckley and we'll even get to hear from Adam(God) himself, in a guest appearance, exhorting us to obey these men called Prophets, Seers, Revelators and Apostles. So, here's the bottom line; if you liked part 1, you are gonna love part 2. For those that would like to dispute the facts that I've presented, that Mormonism is a huge cult; I look forward to your comments and Emails. I will be fascinated to see how you TBMs and Apologists, explain away all of these obvious facts. Then again, it's probably just all a huge coincidence, that you can go through a cult checklist and check them off one by one, right? Originally published March 13, 2006

Mormon Truth Podcast #9-Is Mormonism A Cult?!!-Part 1 In this podcast, I go through the cult checklist to once and for all, decide if Mormonism is a cult or not. I'm using the list from the ICSA (International Cultic Studies Association). Here is a quote from the website of the ICSA: "The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) is an interdisciplinary network of academicians, professionals, former group members, and families who study and educate the public about social-psychological influence and control, authoritarianism, and zealotry in cultic groups, alternative movements, and other environments. Founded in 1979 as AFF(American Family Foundation), ICSA took on its current name in late 2004 to better reflect the organization's focus and increasingly international and scholarly dimensions." The list that I'm using is entitled "Characteristics Associated with Cultic Groups" and was written and created by Janja Lalich, Ph.D. & Michael D. Langone, Ph.D. I'm sure that Mormons will find a way to discredit this website, this list and these people because Mormonism and the Mormon Church just couldn't possibly really be a cult, right? In fact, most members, as I once did, find it extremely offensive to be labeled as a cult and/or cult member. On the ICSA website, it is also states that: "ICSA does NOT maintain a list of "bad" groups or "cults." We nonjudgmentally list groups on which we have information. Groups listed, described, or referred to on ICSA's Web sites may be mainstream or nonmainstream, controversial or noncontroversial, religious or nonreligious, cult or not cult, harmful or benign. We encourage inquirers to consider a variety of opinions, negative and positive, so that inquirers can make independent and informed judgments pertinent to their particular concerns." So, with that being said, this group is not "out-to-get" the Mormons or "persecute" them as Mormons seem to love, as it just further proves that the Church is true in some twisted, jacked up, cognitive dissonance way. If you are involved in a cult and a cult member, you wouldn't know it, unless you knew what to look for and what the signs are. The purpose of cults, is to brainwash you, so that you DON"T think you are in a cult at all and that your life is completely normal. I strongly encourage everyone to listen to this podcast, Mormon or not and decide for yourselves; "is Mormonism a cult?" Originally published March 8, 2006

Mormon Truth Podcast #8-Brent Belnap's Interview On The Today Show Well, this has been irritating me ever since I first heard this interview and I really felt the extreme need to address the mis-truths and flat out lies that Brent Belnap, (Mormon Stake President of Manhattan), felt the need to propagate during his recent interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show. The ending of the interview and the final question of Matt Lauer and then Brent Belnap's answer, was astonishing to me and one of the biggest lies I've heard yet. It sums up perfectly, the lies, deceit and fraud of Mormonism perfectly. It just proves that the Mormon Church will continue to openly lie and defraud people in order to keep their stone of fraud, lies and deceit, rolling through the world. Don't think for one second, that Brent Belnap wasn't prepared and told what to say by the Mormon Hierarchy. He was fully prepped and probably even had a list of questions from the Today show that he might be asked, if not the exact questions. To think otherwise, would be the ultimate case of naiveté. If they did know in advance what the questions would be; that makes Brent Belnap and The Mormon Hierarchy look even worse and more complicit in this latest escapade of lying to a Nationwide TV audience. The Mormon Church would never EVER let someone go on national TV without full preparation of what to lie about and how to lie about it. I look forward to all of your comments on the lies that Brent Belnap and The Mormon Hierarchy are continually propagating throughout the world, such as those that are shared in this piece. I think that everyone will really enjoy listening to this podcast and will be able to clearly see the deceit of Mormon Hierarchy upon the world. Originally posted on February 17, 2006

Mormon Truth Podcast #7-Those Evil Anti-Mormons #1 In this podcast, I review the most recent hatemail that I've received, along with my opinions and rebuttals to what they are saying about me. Some of it is funny, some of it is pathetic and sad while some of it is just ridiculous. I also take a run through my reviews on iTunes and have a few good laughs along the way, as well as pointing out where these anti-anti-Mormons are going wrong in their attack of me and the truth. This podcast is a pretty revealing look into the head of an anti-anti-Mormon and the twisted logic that they use to justify their beliefs. I also discuss the positive reviews that I've received and thank those that have given them. Enjoy everyone!! Originally published January 30, 2006

Mormon Truth Podcast #6-Better off dead?!! This podcast describes in depth, with exact quotes, how Mormon Prophets and Apostles have advocated, that it is better "to be dead" or "to come home in a pine box", then to break the law of chastity or allow any degree of immorality. Here is an example, as quoted in Kimball's famous/celebrated Miracle Of forgiveness; Heber J. Grant said, "There is no true Latter-day Saint who would not rather bury a son or daughter than to have him or her lose his or her chastity. I then break down the entire talk, "Love and Lust" given by former Mormon Prophet Spencer W. Kimball at a BYU Devotional in 1965. He condemns everyone from the average sinner, to people that don't understand meanings of words, to homosexuals, masturbators, fornicators and even those that just have an occasional thought about sex. He leaves no stone unturned in condemning everybody. He is an equal opportunity condemner!! This podcast will allow everyone to get a better insight into just who Spencer W. Kimball really was and it isn't pretty. Originally published December 15, 2006

Mormon Truth Podcast #5-Tithing And Filthy Lucre-Part 2 This podcast describes in great detail, the manner in which the Mormon Church Hierarchy, robs from the poor, to give to the rich, which is to give to themselves. I will take you on a journey through several quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley, James E. Faust and others, to prove this to be true. You will leave this podcast with no doubts, I promise. I will also talk very candidly about where the Church spends all their money. They are more of a real estate company/construction company than a Church. I will also discuss all of their current projects that are underway and the Billions that they are spending on them. The Mormon Church is nothing but a rich corporation and anything that has to do with God or Jesus, is just window dressing in order to get more filthy lucre by robbing the poor, every chance they get. The Mormon Church and their actions, are a complete disgrace to mankind!! Originally Published November 27th, 2005

Mormon Truth Podcast #3-Joseph Smith This podcast is all about the life of Joseph Smith and some of the dirty deeds that he was involved with. Joseph Smith was not an honorable man rather a despicable, loathsome man!! I certainly wouldn't want my children looking up to him as an example as the Mormon Church recommends that everyone should do; unless I wanted them to spend their lives in a Federal penitentiary. I discuss his polygamy, the Kirtland Bank failure where he defrauded most of the depositors, while sneaking out of town claiming that he was "escaping mob violence." Yeah, I wonder why? I also discuss problems with the First Vision, the fact that Joseph Smith married girls as young as 14, other men's wives, other men's pregnant wives, sisters and also Mother/Daughter combos. Joseph Smith did it all in the name of God, while also claiming that an angel with a flaming sword would slay him if he didn't marry virgin teenagers and all of his polygamous wives. He would promise the girls and their families "Eternal Exaltation" in exchange for their bodies. Does this sound like a holy man to you? Does this sound like a Prophet of God? This is the man that Mormons are celebrating this year with parties and celebrations, with one more to come, his official birthday bash on December 23rd. All I can say is, what an embarrassment that this man is the founder of the Mormon Church or any religion!! Unless you fully sustain him and all of his actions, as a Prophet of God, you are not allowed to enter the Mormon temple or receive exaltation in the highest degree of Celestial glory. You must accept him either here in this life or the next, or you will be ETERNALLY SEPARATED from your loved ones and friends. Yeah, isn't it wonderful? The Mormons clearly teach that you cannot enter heaven without Joseph Smith approving. If that is the case, based on his evil, horrible life, actions and example; I would guess that most of us would be okay and not have much to worry about. Originally published November 18, 2005

Mormon Truth Podcast #2-Mission Experiences And The Hill Cumorah In this Podcast, I mainly discuss two things; feelings that I had during my Mormon mission to Argentina as I read directly from my mission journal and then what should have been found in the hill Cumorah in New York. I read directly from Ether, in The Book of Mormon, about how many died(millions), what battle gear they used, etc. I also touched upon a few other topics of interest from this past week. For more details, you can read my latest post on my blog here or just listen to the show. I hope you enjoy it!! Originally published November 15, 2005

Mormon Truth Podcast #1-The Introduction & M. Russell Ballard This podcast and all future podcasts that I do, will be to spread the "real truth" about the Mormon Church and expose the fraud that is the Mormon Church. It's time to uncover the lies and reveal them to the world!! I will share my opinions and viewpoints without holding back. They can run and cover up but they can't hide from the "real truth!! In this first podcast, I introduce myself and why I've decided to do these podcasts, along with writing my blog. I describe a little bit about my journey to the truth, my feelings and my discovery of the Mormon fraud. I also express the passion that I have to share these things with others, in order to help them to also be able to escape the Mormon cult and have their freedom. My main goal, is to help as many people as possible and to let everyone out there, that has also discovered this Mormon fraud, that they are not alone. Originally published November 13, 2005
