New Zealander Gina Colvin, proprietor of the incomparable blog Kiwi Mormon , recently interviewed me in-depth for the podcast series A Thoughtful Faith. In this two part interview, Gina and I discuss the precise reasons why "apostasy" was a bogus charge used to oust me from the church in spite of my clear testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, my belief in the Book of Mormon, and acceptance of the divine calling of Joseph Smith as prophet, seer, and revelator.We examine how the current purge of some of the church's most faithful is beginning to impact the church at large, as an increasing number of devout members are forced out on the flimsiest of excuses; how numerous violations of Church law are routinely employed in church courts to railroad the faithful, and why I continue to call myself a Mormon despite being expelled from the corporate wing of the Church.You can Download Parts One and Two directly from the website. These interviews can be considered a further exploration of the issues introduced last week in the two video interviews previously conducted foravailable for viewing Here and Here *****
