Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host

John Delinn. It is November 8th, 2023 and today we are going to be talking

about a really important news story that's been breaking recently.

The title that we've given to this episode is, did Mormon millionaire Russell Brunson expose Mormon Church Apostle and Russell Ballard and the

LDS Church in a lie or in a series of lies. That's going to be the topic for

today's discussions.

We think it's really important.

I'll just say at the outset, our desire isn't to put Russell Brunson on blast.

We have every reason to believe he's a really good guy, and it's not even to put

Emm Russell Ballard on Blast.

If I could just sort of editorially state at the beginning, the Mormon Church in its

temple recommend interviews asks every member

whether they're honest in their dealings with their fellow men and if people

answer no to that or if they're found to be dishonest then people can be denied the ability to go into the temple

to get saving ordinances for the church and even to attend you know the weddings

of their own children or family members. So the Mormon Church uses this issue of honesty in a way

that can be very punishing to members.

And so if that's the case, then I think it's fair to hold the Mormon Church in that system to a high standard as it relates to honesty.

So that's why we're talking about this today. We believe there's good

evidence that the Mormon Church and Apostle and Russell Ballard have been

misleading people and deceiving people and we think

think that's wrong. So check out our evidence see if you agree.
