| 0:00.0 | Just to tie back to the history real quick, I will say that, you know, there is one quote |
| 0:16.0 | that's often mentioned about Brisson-McConkey after the revelation came out where he was speaking |
| 0:23.0 | to some CES folk, is that right? |
| 0:25.0 | Right. |
| 0:26.0 | I don't, but basically what he says is that he spoke with limited light knowledge at the time. |
| 0:32.0 | When he wrote that, he spoke with limited light knowledge. |
| 0:34.0 | He just didn't understand that the scriptures were, I mean, that God's work is continuous, continuous, and ever changing. |

| 1:23.0 | Oh no, I know, I just wanted to get that on the record, yeah. |
| 1:26.0 | Oh yeah, yeah, and I'm sure that's important for your listeners to know, but there is a problem with that. |
| 1:31.0 | Oh yeah, so before you tell us what I want to do, let's loop back now to your story. |
| 1:37.0 | Take us, take us through sort of how you went from a missionary who just started to think hard about these issues. |
