Mormon Stories Podcast is the longest-running and most successful podcast in
Mormonism - hosted by Dr. John Dehlin. At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate,
and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former
members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We also occasionally
interview scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals. Our
overall mission is to: 1) Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church
members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and
theology, 2) Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who
are experiencing a religious faith crisis, and 3) Promote healing, growth and
community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand
religions. Mormon Stories Podcast is a product of the Open Stories Foundation -
a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to supporting Mormons in religious transition.

LDS discussions saved me during my faith crisis 3.5 years ago. I was pregnant
with my 4th baby and had 3 under the age of 5 running around. My brain was fried
trying to sort through so many historical documents. He helped me make sense of
the gospel topics essays and put everything I was already compiling in one
place. I went from flipping through ~40 open tabs to just opening up LDS
discussions and having everything in one place. Thank you thank you thank you,
“Mike.”

I come from the Seneca and Lenape nations. When I was introduced to the Book of
Mormon it didn't take long to convert me because my people were finally being
acknowledged. But for some time I keep coming up to see that it was a mistake.
They shouldn't have taken advantage of me.

Former "Lamanite," here, no longer waiting to become "white and delightsome."
There was no formal announcement made to Native Americans either, just quiet
word of mouth. This shameful doctrine was conjured up by another man-made
religion bent on control, instilling fear, and trying to keep up with that other
powerful church in collected riches. My DNA analysis indicates I'm East Asian,
NOT Israeli- the church's (false) prophets never anticipated this scientific
development. I do believe they prophesied their own demise though: the fall of
the great and abominable church..."and great was the fall thereof." I have my
popcorn ready... lol

In like 2007 I had a guy from china tell me that the people in mexico have more
in common genetically with him then Jerusalem. I honestly had no idea what he
was getting at. I wish someone YEARS ago would have kindly sat me down and
explained all the wholes in my religion. I wish I had known BEFORE I made all
kinds of life choices based on lies.

As someone whose family was "encouraged" to assimilate into white culture,
joining the church was probably one of the worst things to have happened to my
ancestors! Not only were their lands taken, forced to migrate elsewhere, stolen
from their homes to attend residential schools, forced to live in white
"civilized" people's homes, punished for speaking their language and practicing
their cultural rituals... on top of that the LDS church taught them to not trust
their tribal elders with history, purpose, and practice, rather, to trust some
phony book that JS made up and compiled from various sources. Over the
generations my family has put away all native cultural practices, stories,
language, and community opting instead for the church's practices, stories,
language and community. Since leaving the church 1.5 years ago, I have been
DESPERATELY trying to reconnect with my native heritage, with a very small
amount of success. I am so far removed from my tribe that has a dying language
and a trifurcated home base ALL BECAUSE THE CHURCH PASSED THE BOM OFF AS PURE
HISTORY that contained none of the "wicked traditions of my fathers". DNA
evidence crushed me; it crushed my identity. The beauty and truth was in our
heritage, and my family was manipulated by the church into denying that truth
and beauty. Keep speaking up! This work is vital! Thank you for the emotional
labor you put into each episode- Mormon Stories has truly been a lifeline
through a difficult and painful transition! Love to you all!

I remember as a younger man how many many members were so excited about DNA
studies and were so sure that this would at last prove the prophets right.
Nothing like the past to put a magnifying glass on present claims. Thanks for
the vid.

I’ve been struggling for quite some time and had the opportunity to play a round
of golf with a member of the quorum of the 70 about six months ago. I brought up
some of the personal concerns that I was having (nothing about church doctrine,
more just my own observations) and he kinda went out on a limb to say that the
issues that “anti-Mormon” people are bringing up is nothing new. It’s the same
issues people have bringing up against the church for decades. Now I don’t know
if he was straight up lying, if this was something that he was being fed by the
12 to tell struggling members, or if he really believes that. Clearly it was
designed to prevent me from looking any further, because this DNA evidence is
something new and it’s a big deal. I’m so grateful that I did not take his
advice or I may still be stuck in it today.

Mike should take his essays and compile them into a marketable book. I’d
certainly buy it, and I’m sure most people watching this series would also buy
it.

I enjoy your podcasts. I do have to do it In small doses. Even though I have not
gone to the church for years I have problems with depression when I hear to much
a one time. It took me several years to get rid of my garments even after I quit
wearing them. It amazing to me how hard it is to free myself from the
endoctrination.

This is great! Ive been an ex-Mormon for decades and just discovered this
channel. I’ve been wondering how the church has been dealing with DNA and modern
archaeology. They certainly DID teach us in the sixties that ALL the population
of the Americas came from the Middle East; that they were descended from the
enslaved Jews that built the Egyptian pyramids. And that’s how they knew how to
build them in the Americas. Having seen both, I was struck at how really
different they are from each other, not the same at all. There’s a lot of
archaeological proof that the Egyptian pyramids weren’t even built by slaves.
This is a ton of fun!

Yo Geraldo, mi primo, I did my 23 and me and I found out that I am the 99
percentile of people that have Neanderthal DNA. A couple of interesting facts;
1) I gave my daughter the nickname of Leanderthal before I even knew this, and
2) Neandertals and Homo Homo Sapiens (modern humans) existed simultaneously on
this amazing Garden of Eden planet that we live on. Great stuff Mike! I
appreciate all your hard work on this John and Geraldo.

The DNA issue strikes at the heart of the church's foundation and truth claims .
They built the church on this book, and with DNA evidence, it's been in my mind
proven to be a fabrication. No other evidence is required to prove this
(although there is so much more). Thanks for a fantastic review of this
important topic!

It's so great to have Mike's LDS Discussions because he doesn't get paid.
Although I think he deserves to, it is nice to be able to have a source to point
people to like the overview project that has no financial motive.

Mikes work in making LDS Discussions is so important and easy to access and go
over online. It was super important to my faith transition. The only thing I’d
recommend for the podcast is that if he can slow down a little bit, these topics
can get kind of complicated so if he can slow a bit and go through them to let
it marinate for the listener.

DNA and the Book of Mormon | Ep. 1594 | LDS Discussions Ep. 05

While God (in the D&C), Joseph Smith, and most Mormon Prophets certainly knew
who the Lamanites were, DNA Science has put the modern Church in a precarious
position. Today, The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints claims not to
know anything about who and where the descendants of the Book of Mormon people
are even though the record was explicitly preserved for them. Join John, Mike,
and Gerardo as they discuss how the LDS Church has responded to DNA Studies that
show that Native Americans are the descendants of eastern Asian populations
instead of Israelites. LDS Discussions Essay on DNA and the Book of Mormon:
https://www.ldsdiscussions.com/dna Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:18 DNA

DNA created for the Book of Mormon 00:45:20 Apologetic responses to DNA and the
Book of Mormon 00:47:38 Science on DNA is “tentative” 00:52:09 The evolution of
DNA studies from Mormon Stories: 00:54:36 The Book of Mormon people were just a

More From Jamie Hanis Handy 01:47:45 The Church Treats Book of Mormon People
like Heavenly Mother 01:49:45 Stealing the Identities of Native Americans and
