Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
Thank you RFM. I appreciate your efforts. Please, please keep your moniker and opening line. I look forward to future discussion.
Is RFM the LDS Millionaire?

The coincidences are too much to ignore. LDS Millionaire holds secret dating event in June behind white sheet. RFM announces engagement in August behind white sheet.
Listening to the audio only, I just can’t get those pictures of a bedsheet clipped to some light poles with clothes pins out of my head…
RFM, someone who knew who you are pointed it out to on Facebook messenger, but we both agreed that it was best to keep you anonymous and I for one hope it stays that way.
Cheers.
I firmly believe from all the evidence that top leaders know the deceptions or the majority of them exactly, though they clearly choose to use their false power and authority to mislead us to what? And why??? It sure does not save anyone, and I believe they know that too. That would be nothing less than fraud.
You assume way too much.
I’m pretty certain that they drink from their own Kool-aid.
..and watch/subscribe to their own version of Cult News Network (GenCon) and inoculated with their own crappy vaccines… Wanna know if something is corrupt – they invest in it.
… and they know nothing of all that they do, “for Christ”…
Only three options to consider:
1- the church is true. “He was either a prophet of God, divinely called, properly appointed and commissioned, or he was one of the biggest frauds this world has ever seen. There is no middle ground.” JFSmith
2- the church attracts and promotes delusional leaders to the highest positions, “They drink their own koolaid”.
3- they are liars and thieves.
I choose option 3.
I left the church last year.
How fun to learn your name is corbin.
Me too
Though shall not mention the name of him whom should not be spoken of.
I don’t know about you, but I like the silky Corbin material garments.
Tom, you speak many of my own beliefs. The leaders know this is all a lie. Day one was a lie. What keeps them lying? I know someone who knows a son of an apostle who has died. He’s in his 60’s and has never worked a day in his life. He has admitted to getting his very affluent existance from the church.
Money and power corrupt people beyond anything I can comprehend. RFM’s pharisee podcasts is so excellent I’ve listened many times.
I just finished listening to your Sunstone podcast. I especially loved the “conference talk” you gave at the end. I hope that you can do a podcast about what you would say if you had 20 minutes in front of the entire membership of the church. My husband is a believer and I keep wanting to share some of your podcasts with him. But, there is a criteria for actually sharing. It can’t have any comments about the temple. He would instantly tune out and say, “Anti-Mormon.” It can’t have profanity, and no evil speaking of the Lord’s anointed. 🙂 Is that possible? I would absolutely love it if you could do that for me. Thank you for all your great insights.
RFM you are excellent! Thank you for all that you do.
