| 0:00.0 | Good evening, everybody. Welcome to Mormonism live. I'm Radio Free Mormon, joined by Bill Reel, and tonight we have an exciting story. Not a completely unique story nowadays, though, but still something that's definitely worth hearing a bishop who leaves the LDS church and a bishop who didn't wait until he was done being a bishop to leave his name's don |
| 0:22.3 | suda he's from georgia he'll join us with his wife vicky and we'll have them on here in just a few |
| 0:29.1 | minutes bill real my favorite companetto how are you doing i'm doing great my friend how was your week |
| 0:35.1 | so busy it's just amazing so many things to do so many |
| 0:40.4 | projects so many shows but i'm loving every minute of it so the answer to that is busy oh i'm |
| 0:46.1 | also making life a little bit miserable for our mutual friend jonah barnes yeah you've been |
| 0:51.7 | quite hard on him haven't you that's what i've been doing in my spare time. That's been my hobby this week because, of course, he stole my research over a year ago. And more recently, he stole Eldon Watson's research. We've done a couple of shows on that. I think we pretty much nailed that coffin lid down tight. But now people are over there and they're trying to say, oh, well, it wasn't so bad or whatever and try and let some space get in between it. Hopefully people will forget from his point of view. So I keep bringing up over in the comments section. It's like Word Radio when he shows up, I'll put in the comments. I'll put in, even if it has nothing to do with the subject, I'll just put in there, |
| 1:28.0 | if Jonah's on there, say, are you going to apologize for stealing Eldon Watson's research, Jonah? |
| 1:34.1 | Yeah, he should. |
| 1:35.0 | I haven't gotten a response from it. |
| 1:36.6 | He should say he's sorry. |
| 1:38.5 | And they tried to put a little blip in, you know, they added it, which you showed, but he didn't |
| 1:43.9 | go far enough |
| 1:44.8 | and these are the games that apologists play yes and i've been doing some more research into him |
| 1:51.6 | and he actually hates smart people it's true we've got a clip that we'll play it'll be a week from |
| 1:57.0 | tonight but he hates smart people i think he he's jealous. Yeah, he should be. |
| 2:04.7 | You got to, you know, the hard work is not, it's called hard work for a reason. You have to go |
| 2:09.0 | looking for things. You have to make connections. If you just plagiarize someone's stuff, |
| 2:13.7 | that's the easy road. And Jonah Barnes, you, my friend, take the easy road. |
| 2:19.5 | He absolutely hates college professors who have ethics about plagiarizing things. |
| 2:24.8 | Yeah. But anyway, that's been my week. How about you, Bill? |
| 2:28.8 | Life is good. I think there is, though, something that we should at least mention here. |
