Hello and welcome to the Mormon Stories Podcast.

My name is John Delin.

As always, I'm very happy and pleased to have you with us today.

Joining us, we always are very grateful for your listenership.

As I mentioned in previous podcasts, we're up to about 12 or 1300 downloads per episode now.

I don't know how many people are double downloading, but that means close to 1000 plus listeners of Mormon Stories Podcasts.

So we're very grateful that so many of you are tuning in and enjoying what we're doing.

Again, as always, thanks for your posts on the blog.

Those of you who have visited us on the blog and have made posts.

And most importantly, I'm just very grateful for those of you who have taken the time to donate and have donated some money to Mormon Stories Podcasts to help pay for the incidentals and the ISP provider and all the other stuff.

Your donations are very much appreciated.

So thanks again to all of you for tuning in.

Today, we definitely have a very different episode in store for you.

In fact, it's the most different one that we've given.

Because today, the tables will be turned.

Just to give you a little context.

Allow back.

I started getting requests on many of the boards from especially people on ZLMB and view from the foyer and post Mormon and ex Mormon.

The most common question that I'd be asked is, John, how in the world do you stay in the church knowing all these issues and dealing with all these issues?

And it's actually, it's been interesting to me because as my listeners have tried to probe and understand my actual position on things,

I find that a lot of the liberal and ex and anti-Mormons consider me to be an apologist and oftentimes a lot of the conservative folk find me to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
