This is Naked Mormonism.

I pledge my life all that I may have.

I will strive to the utmost of my ability to be what you would want me to be.

It's time to find the truth.

And having set our hand to the plow, we will never look back until this work is finished.

Where is the church going? I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith.

But it will not be saved in Washington.

It will be saved by enlightened members of this church.

The explicit tag is there for a reason.

So if you get offended at what's said, it's not for you.

But most importantly,

You ponder the truths you've heard.

May they help you become even better than you were.

Skeptocize everything.

Welcome to episode 97 of the Naked Mormonism podcast, the serial Mormon history podcast. Today is Thursday, April 5th, 2018. My name is Bryce Blankanagle, and thank you for joining me. On this episode, we take a step back and try to view the recent headlines in Mormonism with a little bit of historical perspective.

From the current rape scandal to General Conference to the Protect Alias Children March, we try to put historical context on everything which happened this past week within Mormonism.

We'll resume our historical timeline of early Mormonism next week.

This week, it's just journalism surrounding the modern Salt Lake City Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Let's get into it.
