Topics: 1) Kirtland temple; 2) Priesthood keys; 3) Salem, MA; 4) Kirtland Safety Society; and 5) Thomas B. Marsh.
This episode takes a frank look at Doctrine and Covenants sections 109–114, covering the Kirtland Temple dedication and vision, the doctrine of priesthood keys, the failed Salem treasure venture, the collapse of the Kirtland Safety Society bank and its fallout, and Thomas B. Marsh.
Rather than a faith-promoting spin, the episode aims for honesty and discussion — questioning priesthood keys as a motivator and control mechanism, pointing out failed prophecies and financial missteps, and arguing Marsh’s split was driven by violence and institutional abuse more than a minor “cream” dispute.
