We are joined today by attorney Kolby Reddish to discuss the recent updates in the James Huntsman case against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Huntsman claimed the Church misused funds, alleging fraud and is seeking the return of millions of dollars of his voluntary contributions. This case could have national implications on how religious organizations use the voluntary contributions they receive from their members, and could impact how educational institutions and non-profits solicit voluntary contributions and invest some of those contributions for future use. Join us today as we discuss this groundbreaking case!

Hello Mormon Stories…
I grew up in the Mormon/LDS church..
I served a mission, giving up years of my life and sacrificing a full ride football scholarship in order to fulfill my obligation to the Mormon church and to satisfy my family…I was the youngest of 6, one of four boys, all my brothers served Missions.
I was made to feel I would be letting down my family, as well as my God if I did not serve a mission….
I spent two years in Southern California, as a salesman/ representative for the church…
I find it interesting that general authorities receive a stipend for full time service that is about 3 times the average national wage, yet full time missionaries have to spend their own money or have to be sponsored while providing the same amount of full time service for two years.
I have struggled for a long time with periods of devoutness to the church and periods of doubt…
Although I do appreciate a lot of core principles that I have learned as a member of the church, I no longer feel that the Church is God’s only path for salvation, and actually feel that all religions are basically man made and don’t necessarily represent divinity or are lead by God
