On a recent podcast, Ex-Mormon Ryan McKnight said (I'm paraphrasing): "Nobody's gonna leave [the Church] over this...Probably"

Commenting on the recent Washington Post leak "Mormon Church has misled members on $100 billion", Ryan McKnight believes that the whistleblower allegations of fraud and tax evasion are incorrect and a distraction from members having a serious conversations about the Church's financial transparency.

In this episode, we discuss the allegations against the Church, our frustration with members and non-members' responses, and our views on whether the Church should be more open about their finances to its members.

This is a long episode, but it gets into some serious (and sometimes funny) rabbit holes. Totally worth listening to.
