LDS Uncorrelated: Hats, Correlation, Temple Culture, and Ghost Stories Five friends announce their new “LDS Uncorrelated” podcast and discuss Latter-day Saint culture versus doctrine through topics like hat etiquette during prayer, “Mormon Standard Time,” manners, and posting photos from a public temple media tour. They explore music in worship and the temple, including historical temple hymn-singing and hopes for more music today. The group explains church correlation beginning under David O. McKay in the 1960s, its role in standardizing teachings amid rapid growth, and its centralization of power (including changes to Relief Society autonomy), while noting correlation can also spread standardized errors. They critique folk doctrines and overreach (e.g., Mormon Doctrine, face-card taboos, beards), share examples of local “weird” Mormonism, and debate ghosts and spiritual experiences, including a ghost-hunting flashlight incident and early LDS views on dreams and spirits. They preview a future episode on social media, public temple content, and spirituality. 00:00 Podcast Kickoff and Temple Tales 00:36 Hats Prayer and Mormon Manners 04:25 Music Memories and Mission Rules 08:13 Why No Singing in the Temple 10:16 Correlation Origins and Americanization 14:45 Social Media Hot Takes and Mormon Doctrine 18:57 Independence Authority and Beard Folklore 29:28 Correlation Failures and Manual Horror Story 32:42 Trying To Be Palatable 34:04 Correlation Guardrails 35:32 Idaho Mormonism Stories 38:42 Millennial Panic Cycles 40:17 Emily Song Break 41:26 Folklore Versus Doctrine 44:13 Haunted House Banter 45:29 Ghost Hunter Flashlight 49:41 Doctrinal Limits And Openness 53:58 Pratt On Dreams 57:00 Catholic Convert Perspective 01:03:25 Modern Reenchantment 01:06:40 Wrap Up And Next Episode
