How Mormon Are You?
Let's play a game. The Latter-day Ain'ts play the Mormon version of Never Have I Ever. In this game, they ask each about the staples of growing up Mormon and how many of the boxes they check off the list.
Discussing the Corona Virus
Just what you needed: some more bad takes on the COVID-19 outbreak. Today the Latter-day Ain'ts discuss the virus as it relates to the LDS Church and its response to the pandemic. Stay home, wash your hands, and stay safe during this uncertain time.
Going Home after Leaving the Church
Today, the Latter-day Ain'ts talk about their visits home over the holidays and what it's like to participate in family life after leaving the church.
Discussing BYU Honor Code Events
We release this special episode to discuss an important current topic in the Mormon Church: the recent removal of the Homosexuality section from the BYU Honor Code. We stand with LGBT BYU students. Consider donating to the transfer fund for current BYU students who need to transfer because of the recent events: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/transfer-fund-for-lgbtq-byu-students
Phraseology
Today we are delivering the episode Don has mentioned in previous episodes: Mormon phraseology. We are talking about a couple common phrases you hear from active Mormons and a couple phrases you hear from post-Mormons. We will also talk a little bit about the phrases ex-Mormon, post-Mormon, apostate, and whether or not we think the LDS Church is a cult. Come, Join with Us.
Religion in the Workplace
The Latter-day Ain'ts talk about talking about religion in the workplace and quickly derail into politics, race, and other casual topics.
Church Leadership
Let's talk about leadership in the Mormon Church. From mission leadership to bishops to general authorities, we discuss our experiences and some of the problems with leadership. Our tangents today include grace, ministering, and the Second Anointing.
Dating
Dating as a Mormon is kind of weird, and figuring out dating after Mormonism can be a strange transition. We talk about dating as an LDS youth, first kisses, how dating affects the mission, dating as a young adult in a YSA ward, marriage, sex, consent, and more.
"You can leave the Church, but you can't leave it alone"
"You can leave the Church, but you can't leave it alone" is a common phrase heard in Mormon circles. Can ex-Mormons leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints alone? Does it even matter? Is there a way to bridge communication and connection between post-Mormons and LDS members?
"Coming out" as an ex-Mormon
The Latter-day Ain'ts discuss what it's like to tell friends and family that you've left the Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; LDS) and get side-tracked with a couple interesting tangents.
