Mormon Civil War

This is a place for dialogue about 'Christians vs Pharisees: Choosing sides and how to fight for them in the Mormon Civil War' and other collaborations like 'The Loyal Opposition' where Peter Bleakley has teamed up with Nemo the Mormon. At current rates of decline in active membership the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will functionally cease to exist in Europe, most of the rest of the world and several regions of the USA in the next 10-15 years, so radical reforms need to happen now if it is to survive, and it may already too late. The vast majority of members have already left the Church globally, including 80% of the young people raised in it, and recently leaked data has revealed that in my homeland of the UK and the Republic of Ireland we are down to less than 15% of our members active and it is falling fast. The stats across the rest of Europe are similar. I will be discussing not only what the General Authorities and local leaders and members have to stop doing and saying to choose Christian Mormonism instead of Pharisee Mormonism (and stop trying to teach and practice both at once and failing), but also the positive changes that need to happen radically and fast to have this amazing religion with so much positive potential survive and thrive in the real world of the 21st Century. What do you think it will take?

    Good on his own, but not a good interviewer
    Peter is brilliant and insightful on his own, but when he has a guest on he talks over the guest and rambles on an on about his own ideas. I was excited to see Paul Toscano was a guest and wanted to hear Paul’s ideas, but was frustrated that Peter didn’t let him talk without taking over the discussion. If the show was just Peter, I’d give it 5 stars, but with guests I’d give it 2 stars.

    PB is a rockstar
    When he posts I’m like a kid on Christmas morning. It’s so refreshing to hear from someone who makes so much sense. Thank you Peter!!!

    Brad Wilcox
    the Brad WilcoxTalk in Alpine made me angry, this one adds more fuel to the fire. For him to say that people who don’t have religion aren’t good people and selfish in an emergency doesn’t know much about history!!And he needs to look at the statistics of Ponzi schemes in Utah, the highest in the United States!

    FLIPPIN’ AMAZING
    Jam packed with information on Mormon leadership hypocrisy, Peter Bleakley delivers a master class. There is so much here it requires concentration to fully grasp. Unfortunately it is wasted on true believing members who cannot comprehend the leaders, like everyone else,are fallible.

    Great humour ...
    In the face of great peril. Please don’t get flushed down the golden toilet! You’re a gas man. I’m moved to investigate if only I could join and support those like you ( and not tithe).

    Intelligent and thoughtful
    Critical analysis of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints…MORMONS. You can listen to well reasoned analysis and will find yourself nodding in agreement.

    Can’t rate this high enough!
    Peter is insightful and informative, and I love hearing his take on issues facing the LDS church today. He is humorous and poignant both. Can’t wait for the mysterious and amazing upcoming episode 7!

    I’ve listened to it 3 times.
    Cohesive, logical arguments that offer validation and advocate for change. I love this podcast and eagerly await the 7th episode.

    Exquisitely clear and honest, yet still hopeful
    Bleakley has assimilated an enormous amount of information from modern and scriptural sources to precisely and effectively diagnose the cancer eating up the COJCOLDS from the inside. He manages to do so with humor and efficiency and a surprisingly poetic assessment of the situation.

    Fantastic research
    Peter succinctly and forcefully drops truth bombs in an entertaining way
