Ep72: The Mormon Newscast: Mormonish Edition 05.05.2025

Join Rebecca Bibliotheca, Bill Reel, and Radio Free Mormon for The Mormon Newscast on Monday, May 5th 2025!

Tonight on the Mormon Newscast, we begin with a major update from Michelle Stone, the face of the polygamy denier movement and host of the "132 Problems" podcast. In a surprising turn, Stone has announced she’s stepping away from her Podcast and it's YouTube Channel. We’ll unpack what led to her departure and if the Church played a role.

Also in this episode:

We bring you the final word from Fairview, Texas, as the town council delivered its decision on the controversial LDS temple proposal.

Meanwhile, in a twist of iconography, crosses—long taboo in LDS culture—are quietly making a comeback. Is this doctrinal drift or just design trend? We’ll also explore a Latter-day Petroleum Ruse and ask the question, will the LDS church return this allegedly unethical tithing?. We also take a look at one drugged man's attempt to go to Church. And finally, we’ll examine growing concerns about the Mormon Stories podcast—what’s being said, and whether there’s real cause for caution.

Stay tuned for sharp analysis, smart questions, and a few laughs along the way.
