This episode is a commentary on the previous SFM episode #11, “Jesus Cleanses the Salt Lake City Temple.” The commentary focuses on thoughts about the meaning of Figs and Fig trees, tithing and temple recommends. I’m sure there could be additional thoughts, insights and discussion about this story so feel free to explore your own […]
The story to be shared today may be especially triggering (more so than other past episodes) for some Active Believing Mormons. If you decide to share this episode with someone who actively believes the doctrines taught by the LDS church there is a possibility of experiencing a backfire effect, or in other words it may […]
