Ep 36 – Kirtland's Gideon Society for Safety Company

On this episode, we'll be talking about dissent in Kirtland and Bloody Brigham coming to Joe's rescue, after which we'll lightly touch on John Cook Bennet to compare him to Brigham Young. After that, there's a public dispute about the nature of God between Rigdon and Ollie and we can see who Joe sided with from a later quote. Finally, to close out the episode we dive head first into the huge topic of the Kirtland Safety Society "Anti-Bank-ing" Company, and I bring on a guest to help parse out the confusing language in the articles of agreement for the bank. We also touch on something that's been all but stricken from the historical record, but marks the blueprints for the Danites.   Show links: Website http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com Twitter @NakedMormonism Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Naked-Mormonism/370003839816311 Patreon http://patreon.com/nakedmormonism Outro music by Jason Comeau http://aloststateofmind.com/ Show Artwork http://weirdmormonshit.com/ Voicemail Line (864)Nake-dMo (625-3366)   Links: Wilford Woodruff autobiography: http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/WWoodruff.html Manuscript History of Brigham Young: http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/MSHBY.html November 1836 Messenger and Advocate: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm/ref/collection/NCMP1820-1846/id/7468 The Ohio Observer, "Mormonism" by Truman Coe: http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/Coe.html Painesville Telegraph, "Mormonism" by Anonymous: http://www.sidneyrigdon.com/dbroadhu/oh/paintel5.htm Ebenezer Robinson autobiography: http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/ERobinson.html Book of John Whitmer (Brother of Gideon Society): http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/JWhitmer-history.html Phil Ferugson show: http://www.skepticmoney.com/ Wayward Atheists guest spot: http://www.spreaker.com/user/waywardatheists/invasion-of-naked-mormonism Sunstone Symposium:
