Blind Obedience in Mormonism [Mormon Discussion 092]
In this episode we tackle the tough issue of what is blind obedience and what is our responsibility in both adhereing to our perception of right and wrong and still sustaining the brethren in their callings a Prophets, Seers, and Revelators. Are we indeed supposed to follow prophets even when they are wrong. We hit this and more on today’s episode of the Mormon Discussion Podcast.

    Presentism is useful by saying how could I make the better choice if I were born back then. I believe racism to be evil now, how could I have thought that same thing back then when it was more common to be racist? The answer is not listen to the prophets, or the Book of Mormon or the other leaders of the church. Well if it could have led me astray on such an evil state of believe why then would I use those same tools today to guide my morality?

    Can we also call out that Haydens wife gave birth 2 days prior to this, their baby is in the NICU, and he decides its a good time to come out here to debate mormonism and promote his podcast?? And THEN brings up a womans childbirth being "gross" and relating it to mormonism and being "stuck in the afterbirth"? My jaw was on the floor. That poor woman, recovering alone and hearing her husband refer to what happened to her as "gross." Jackson seemed really unsure and nervous, but that Hayden is a pig.

      Not sure Jackson is nervous, nor Hayden is a pig. Just know their age group has no conception of what went before. Just like I only recently saw the books and teachings from the church that instructed my grandparents to be racist and marry only someone with pioneer heritage to keep the gene pool pure. Things my parents neither believed nor taught and asked me to forgive them for, but never revealed it stemmed from the church during 1930s culture.

    After the Mormon Stories interview I went to the Stick of Joseph channel and asked them to point me to the video with the strongest evidence for the Book of Mormon. They pointed me to a video discussing pseudo-linguistic "clues" and "hints" in the Book of Mormon with a couple of guys that do not have credentials. I feel like someone in the church COULD put forth a much stronger case. It seems like they're just resorting to ignoring issues or just being completely confrontational (aka Cardon). I have much more respect for someone like Jim Bennett who understands the issues, but still wants to believe.

    The whole point of being a Prophet, Seer and Revelator is that Heavenly Father and Jesus will appear and Reveal the One True doctrine. It’s definitely odd to have Jesus Reveal a policy in 2015 and then revoke the policy 4 years later. Also odd for Ordinances and Oaths that will never change to change with the passing of several decades. But, if you’re in your early 30s, you might not have experienced enough changes to notice.

    It’s shocking how condescending these bros are when “Mo-splaining “ Mormon doctrine to John, disrespectful.

      Indeed. Life experience leads one to see the fruits of different teachings, which evaluation is clearly mandated by the same scriptures from which this mindset extracts dogmatic views in the first place. This evaluation also requires empathy, and over a longer time a person is more likely to see controversy close to home, where they can actually see the impact. Until that time, it’s easy to sacrifice a stranger upon the altar of orthodoxy.

    No need to quibble over any of the “prophets” and leaders and what they said and what was or wasn’t doctrine. Stick to JS and the BoM. Or are these dudes also claiming to cherry pick JS’s revelations and instructions as well? The most honesty they showed throughout the interview was when they admitted the prospect of being Gods was what hooked and kept them in. And let’s guess having eternal multiple wives in Heaven is also a draw .

    Prophets I always assumed saw a glimpse of the future and were ahead of the posse regarding changes that needed to be made . I'm not a Morman but looking in from the outside as a historian I see that the churches prophets do not forsee rather they react. Is tgere one instance where any of them predicted anything ahead of time? The ten commandments of the Catholic Church never changed they remain the basis as does the life and words of Jesus. Yes other things changed the Latin mass etc but the basic foundation remains. The problem here is that the Morman Church is built on an ever-changing foundation where the truths are constantly modified and changed not from divine inspiration but from man made convenience. These boys are full of youthful arrogance hot air and 21st century lds male superiority. You have to live to learn. They did stun me with their utter disrespect for John and giraldo. If tgey don't have basic respect for older and experienced people or people without their views then it's sad. I've lived and learned and see my own religion now as flawed yes but it's foundation remains solid and Jesus not the Mormon Jesus remains the same. And thankfully I can pave my own way with life experience critical thinking and keeping it simple. If these pair came to my door I'd be forseeing a loud bang!!!

      It was not a waste of time. That is what Mormon Stories is all about: to capture the stories of Mormons truly believing or non believing. I thought it was wonderful to be able to see live how truly delusional someone can be. It would actually be a waste of time if John kept interviewing the same kinds of people with the exact same opinions. You could say the same thing about the first time John interviewed Bill Reel. At the time Bill was a believing Mormon with some stupid opinions, but Bill evolved into what he is today.

    There is nothing that Mormons won’t redefine in order to keep their belief. RFM was pointing out the logical inconsistency with God being omnipotent, but even that is not too core of a belief for Mormons to change. Last week Jonah Barnes (Ward Radio) was claiming that God actually is NOT omnipotent, or omniscient according to Mormon doctrine. Didn’t think I’d ever see that.

    Searching for objective truth using your emotions and feelings is not standard practice in either the hard sciences or social science. Neither of these sciences claim to hold the final truth, only the explanation given the currently known data. Claiming to possess the eternal truth through divine revelation would mean that that truth is infallible and made perfect. There should never be a revision or change if that truth is eternal.
