**Intro:**
Welcome to a captivating episode of our podcast! In our lively introduction, join your hosts Moroni, Abigail, Abish, aaaAAAaaa, and Kali. Kali, back for her third week, takes the spotlight to share her compelling story. We kick off with a discussion about a doomsday cult connected to Mormonism. But before we dive into that tale, we introduce the tantalizing "Second Rumming" cocktail, complete with a mouthwatering recipe. Our hosts also share their current libations and recount a recent mystical experience involving mushrooms by the river, where aaaAAAaaa claims to have seen God in the form of a fractal cat.
**Kali:** [00:07:15]
In our heart-wrenching second segment, Kali bravely opens up about her tumultuous journey as a survivor of abuse within her marriage. We explore the chilling escalation of her husband's controlling behavior, from financial manipulation to isolating her from her family and imposing traditional gender roles. Kali sheds light on the financial abuse she endured, which included her husband siphoning her tax returns, totaling a staggering six-figure sum over the years. We delve into the profound emotional toll this abuse took on Kali, causing her to question her self-worth and revealing the stark contrast between her husband's public persona and his abusive private actions.
**History:** [00:50:32]
Join us as we embark on a historical expedition in our third segment. Abigail takes the reins to uncover the fascinating life of Joseph Morris, a British immigrant deeply intertwined with the early days of Mormonism. Joseph's life was marred by adversity, including coal mine explosions and health issues, yet he emerged as a charismatic figure with unorthodox beliefs. He claimed to be the seventh angel of the apocalypse, preaching doctrines like reincarnation and the immediate second coming of Christ, sparking tension with Mormon Church leadership.
Abigail continues to unravel the intricate tapestry of events surrounding Joseph Morris, including conflicts, convictions, and ultimately, his tragic murder. We meet George Morris, Joseph's level-headed brother, who played a pivotal role in seeking justice and redemption amidst the chaos. As the episode unfolds, we witness the disbanding of Joseph's group into various splinter factions, with some finding solace in a different branch of the church under Joseph Smith III's leadership.
Join us on this rollercoaster of emotions, stories of survival, and a dive into history as we bring you another enthralling episode of our podcast.
