r/exmormon: Mormon Stories Podcast | Book on Church HQ

In a 4-part podcast, Andrew Ainsworth asks LDS anthropologist Daymon Smith about Post-Manifesto Polygamy, Correlation, the Corporate LDS Church, and Mammon.

r/exmormon: Mormon Convert, Mormon Defector: independent historian Polly Aird talks about her book

Growing up, Seattle author Polly Aird knew a lot about where she came from and who her family was. Except for part of her dad’s family. They were Mormons who lived in Utah. But when her dad asked her to start looking into that part of the family history, he wasn’t happy with what she found. Polly tells KUOW’s Jeannie Yandel how reading an old family history started her on an 18year quest to find the truth about her ancestors.

r/exmormon: Mormon church growth appears to be self limiting.

r/exmormon: Could Utah elect an exmormon to Congress?

Sensing that retired school teacher Claudia Wright was making headway, Matheson put in a hysterical call begging Steny Hoyer to fly out to Salt Lake City to save him. Hoyer did fly out, and begged and cajoled delegates to vote for Matheson, but ultimately failed to secure the party endorsement for him. He came up 5% short of the 60% needed.

So what about Claudia? Well, how about this? She’s Brigham Young’s great great granddaughter! And she left the Mormon Church. And she’s openly gay and living with her partner. And, better yet, she’s a brilliant woman with a solidly Democratic platform that shows Matheson is really nothing but a tarted-up Republican in a blue jersey!

Here’s Claudia Wright at the Utah State Democratic Convention:

And here’s her campaign website, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Twitter. Go Claudia!
