Welcome to the conversation that matter podcast. My name is John Harris. We have a very special guest today.

Dr. James White with Alpha and Omega Ministries. Dr. White has been an influence of mine for many years actually. He may not even know this but I remember back even probably about I don't know eight or nine years ago when I had some Mormons in the area that I lived were very aggressive they even came into the church for church

services with their elder badges and I went on I met with them for hours and I remember the first meeting we went in

circles and then I decided to do some homework and that's when I read letters to a Mormon elder and I brought I still remember walking in with my Greek New Testament my book of Mormon facsimile for the original one my modern book of Mormon facsimile and then letters to the Mormon elder you know right on top and I walked in and they saw that and I'm pretty sure I'm still banned in that area.

But anyway, thank you so much for your work, for your books,

for all the material.

It's been inspirational and it's been helpful for me.

Well, great, it's also good to know that I'm quite that old.

Because I wrote that book in 19,

a nine-ish somewhere around there as I recall so it's it's been a while.

Out of curiosity do you remember what month you finished it in 1989 this is important?

Was it summer, fall? No, because at one point actually it might have been it

might have actually been in the early 90s because I made reference to a record temperature in the letters because the letters obviously were to a fictional Mormon missionary but they were based on what was really going on.

And I made reference once to summer in one of the letters, and I also made reference to our setting our all-time record high

which was 122 degrees on June 26 1990 as I recall. Okay.

So it probably would have been the fall of 90.

So I was alive, not to date you too much.

There was a question there for a moment whether I even existed.

And so I did exist.

I was probably a few months old or a year old, but.

But anyway, we have an important topic that I've asked you to talk about because I notice you've been pretty vocal on Twitter and on your program about concerns over a bunch of things, but the Equality

Act and some of the COVID lockdown's immunizations, masks, you know, being things that you're not really going along with you're concerned about.
