Ep 102 — Paul H Dunn

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, the long-awaited deep-dive of Paul H. Dunn! Dunn was a General Authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a consummate liar. He tweaked or fabricated dozens of stories with a spiritual bend which caused Mormons to feel the spirit that what he was saying was true. He also committed financial fraud by cashing in on his high church rank and grandiose public personality. When all this came to light, shelves of believing Mormons came crashing down worldwide, and he was sent to a pasture up north by the apostles. He was, however, successfully insulated by church leadership from any legal repercussions. After that we review Plan 10 From Outer Space, a 90s Mormon sci-fi flick! We round out the episode highlighting the newly created 3-digit number for mental health resources.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show links: </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oral traditions:</span> <a href= "https://ich.unesco.org/en/oral-traditions-and-expressions-00053"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> https://ich.unesco.org/en/oral-traditions-and-expressions-00053</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Douglas Stringfellow:</span> <a href= "https://history.house.gov/Historical-Highlights/1901-1950/The-controversial-career-of-Representative-Douglas-Stringfellow-of-Utah/"> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://history.house.gov/Historical-Highlights/1901-1950/The-controversial-career-of-Representative-Douglas-Stringfellow-of-Utah/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paul H Dunn: </span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lying for the Lord: The Paul H Dunn Stories</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, by Lynn H.
