I Was Told to Cease & Desist and Threatened With Excommunication by the LDS Church w/ Ganesh Cherian

from Mormon.ish

During the process of writing and preparing his new book, "Joseph Smith: The Architect of Mormonism / A Topical Guide" for publication, the LDS church sent author Ganesh Cherian a cease and desist letter. The legal back and forth that followed is very interesting, especially in light of the recent lawsuit against John Dehlin and Mormon Stories by the LDS Church. Do both of these legal maneuvers indicate the LDS church is determined to silence anyone producing criticisms of the church? Are they trying to stop healthy criticism and dialogue before it even gets started? Ganesh Cherian joins Mormonish to tell his story of going toe to toe with the LDS church.
