I expect they're waiting to the end of the day Friday to hit the sweet spot on the news cycle.

Sweet Jesus! Why do they do these kinds of things? On the one hand, I get that Elder Cook didn't actually mean to say the Savior was martyred in Carthage, Illinois. And I get the fact that somebody caught the slip, and wanted to correct it. All of this makes sense to me; so they edit it with a cut t...

I missed that. When did the Freudian slip occur? Try this: https://youtu.be/K_ste5qjZPQ?t=6199 (Hasn't been edited out... Yet . ) Thanks for linking that! I kept going back over his precatory comments and couldn't find it. Now I know why! I have to admit I have misspoken enough that I will give Eld...

BYU is appealing the order of the committee requiring them to release the audio tape.

This has the effect of putting the committee's order in abeyance during the pendency of the appeal.

Now it looks like NBC has picked up the story.

And now the recording of what happened after McKenna bore testimony has just been released by KUTV news.

Just got to work and saw the story, complete with photograph, on the MSN main page. I tried to copy it here but was unable. I did screenshot it though. The MSN webpage links to The Washington Post story that went up at 3:14 this morning. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/06/...

Although Bill has recently prodded Steve Harper for a response, one has not been forthcoming.

Just got off the phone with McKenna. I told her I thought she did great! I can't imagine her doing it any better. She was composed; she got to the point; she said what she had to say in a forum where she could publicly address Joseph Bishop in his ward and with his ward members listening. She has ba...

I already bet Bill $100 that Steve Harper would never appear on his show.

As of this point, he has not accepted the invitation.

I think my money is safe.

I would be happy to pass them along!

Steve Harper has listened to the podcast and emailed Bill that he is sad to see how we have misrepresented his views. He adds he will answer any question completely and honestly.

Bill Reel and Radio Free Mormon just posted a two-part discussion of the recent interview with Stephen Harper of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints History Department posted on the (now inaccurately named) Mormon Channel on the (now inaccurately named) lds.org. The interviewed is titled...

Nice find, Hagoth! Another thing is that part 1 of the apologetic is to set the stage by saying how the critics howled derisively over how the Book of Mormon could be so stupid as to have not one, but two, men in it named Alma--an obviously woman's name! This set-up is good for dramatic effect, but ...

I really liked that one. Made for an hour of a long car trip that went pretty fast.

Edit: One problem. I have now had that "A Whale of a Tail" song stuck in my head for a day an a half now... aargh!

It is a catchy tune, isn't it?

Makes me want to do a hornpipe!

Glad you liked it! An interesting side-note is that Bill Reel personally emailed Elder Wilson yesterday morning and confronted him with the fact he told a fake story in General Conference and why it is so obviously fake. He even sent Elder Wilson a link to the podcast with a suggestion he listen to ...

Today, Judge Kimball denied the LDS Church's motion to dismiss McKenna Denson's lawsuit based on statute of limitations. https://fox13now.com/2018/08/13/judge-dismisses-womans-sex-abuse-lawsuit-against-ex-missionary-training-center-president/amp/?__twitter_impression=true The headline is causing con...

This podcast deals with the phenomenon of faith promoting stories in the LDS Church, though it could apply to other religions as well. https://mormondiscussionpodcast.org/2018/08/radio-free-mormon-038-a-whale-of-a-tale/ It covers three examples of this in 2017, together with a recap of the Paul H. D...

Exactly, Palerider! They are going to do what they did at the Swedish Rescue. They are going to set a limited amount of time to cover a lot of questions, only a couple of which will be substantive. They will give a little answer that doesn't really address the issue, leaves untouched contradictory i...
