John,
When discussing the “is or is not Mormonism a cult”, all one need do is remember not only does Mormonism tick off all, or nearly all, cult criteria, but unlike other high demand religions, Mormonism comes with secret, super weird, cult ceremonies and chants.
Very definitely a cult.
John,
Do you ever think that there will be a day when you will interview someone who has had a near death experience (NDE’s). I have always wondered why you haven’t had someone on who could tell they’re experience or even a couple of guests at the same time telling they’re story.
Jeff Olsen who is on several interviews on YouTube and has written a few books about his experience would be incredible. I think still resides in Utah and I think he is still a Mormon as far as I know……I think that would be an awesome interview….I hope you will at least consider such a interview……Thanks
I’d love to know when you hold the next one of these topic sessions. A while back I was suspended from the /exmormon Reddit forum for “hate speech”. You know, the kind of hate speech against members that is prevalent on that site.
When I complained and reported others for the same type of speech, they ban me permanently for doing the same type of reporting their admins do. I feel like the shunning culture of the LDS faith is still alive and well in the exMo community.
Okay increased my monthly contribution to $25. Best I can do for now.
Thank you Robert!
