Amazing stories. I could listen to another hour of the three of you. Thank you!
Fascinating. Very thought provoking. Lindsay also did a great job moderating.
I started listening to these podcasts several weeks ago and am slowly working my way througn this history. I have trusted you from the very beginning, Lindsay, that everything would be ok and I am still holding you to that. I have heard throughout my adult years a few “watered-down” versions of some of these stories but nothing as honest and true as what you have collected and presented thus far. First, thank you for pouring your heart and soul into this project – it does come through. As soon as I am done I am going to start reading.
Second, this particular podcast really summed up a lot of what I have felt over the past couple of months. I have had my eyes opened, truly opened, and feel like I am hearing about plural marriage really for the first time. I have ancestors that practiced plural marriage and knew in our church history that it was practiced, but never cared to understand the how’s and the what’s. I do believe that there are many in our church who do not wish to know the seedy details of what went on in early church history. Either that or they do not a believe it. I believe that many, like Bill McGee pointed out, start reading the histories and honestly cannot handle the brutalness of it and they put it away because it is so very difficult to make sense of it with what we have believed all our lives. For me, I cannot put these histories aside and ignore how we began as a church. I have wanted to ask several times of you, Lindsay, how you have made peace with all that you have learned. You actually mentioned it a bit here in this podcast and for that little bit I am grateful. I am still waiting to make peace with this. I am still not sure how this huge paradigm shift will affect me in the end. But I am seeing this through because I want to know and I need to know these stories.
Finally, I have gone from feelings of shock to disbelief to understanding to sadness and back again. I have felt mislead and misinformed and see things so differently now. Its difficult, yes, but I would much rather know the truth, as painful and hard as it is, so that I can choose to accept even when I cannot understand. I wonder sometimes if I had heard these stories at some earlier time in my life if it would have had an impact on me. Perhaps not, since I am older now and have my own children. This is the right time for me to learn this, so thank you again for the time and effort you have put into it, probably sacraficing time with your own family.
Onward and upward I go.
The book Tom Kimball couldn’t remember was called “a Mormon Mother” by Annie Clark Tanner. I read it in the early 80’s. Her youngest so was OC Tanner – (yes the jewelry company her in Salt Lske valley. That book opened my eyes to the realities of being a plural wife. These women were essentially single moms. I realized then if I was going to stay in the church. I couldn’t read any kind of truthful account of Mormon history. How I lasted another 35 years is a mystery yo me. None of the stories I have heard have surprised me at all, I’m sad to say. Why do church leaders think we can suspend every critical thinking skill we have to believe their truth claims? Yet that is what I had to do to stay an active member, until I couldn’t do it anymore. Leaders biggest downfall will the belief they cling to that everyone who leaves the church just wasn’t faithful enough in following the rules.
Im related to this guy hes my 8th great grandfather.
At 1:13 “this is really fun”? Wow. More like “this is really traumatic”.
You can certainly see your skills within the work you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart.
Excellent post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Bless you!
I am curious to find out what blog system you’re using? I’m experiencing some small security problems with my latest website and I would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site before but after going through some of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m certainly delighted I discovered it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back often!
Do you believe in your past lives? Do you think past lives regression is real?
There is certainly a lot to learn about this topic. I love all the points you made.
I have to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this site. I am hoping to check out the same high-grade blog posts by you later on as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own website now 😉
A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you should publish more about this subject, it might not be a taboo matter but typically people don’t discuss these issues. To the next! Many thanks.
An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who was doing a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner due to the fact that I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to talk about this matter here on your blog.
This site was… how do you say it? Relevant!! Finally I’ve found something which helped me. Many thanks!
I have learned some important things through your site post. One other point I would like to say is that there are numerous games available on the market designed mainly for toddler age little ones. They include things like pattern recognition, colors, wildlife, and forms. These often focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This will keep a child engaged without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks
You made some good points there. I looked on the net to learn more about the issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this web site.
I quite like looking through an article that can make men and women think. Also, thank you for allowing me to comment.

Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Many thanks
After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment. There has to be a means you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this topic to be really something that I
think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get
the hang of it!
Everything is very open with a very clear clarification of the challenges. It was really informative. Your site is very useful. Thanks for sharing!
