He told crowds he parachuted behind enemy lines, captured a Nazi scientist, survived the Gestapo torture, and walked out of a concentration camp with nothing but faith and grit.

He moved audiences to tears.

The LDS Church called him a modern day. Captain Moronai and Congress called him

the hero from Utah. But none of it was true. Tonight, on Mormonism Live, we dive into one of the

most astonishing deceptions in Utah history. This is the rise, the fall, and the unraveling of Douglas R. Stringfellow, the Mormon war hero who lied to a nation and the system that helped him do it.

Next on Mormonism Live. Oh All right. Welcome, Mr. Radio Free Mormon. How are you this evening?

I am great this evening. Thank you so much for asking. How are you, Bill?

Life is good. Life is doing really good. I just want to note really quickly before we start into the show,

and I want to just check and see if you've got anything. But before that, I want to say that I did see on Facebook, I think it was yesterday, Tim Rathbone, a regular listener. I've had lunch with him. You know who he is. I know he is. He's been deeply involved in historical discussions for a lot of years in Mormonism noted on Facebook that he had had a heart attack and went to the hospital.

I just want to send out our. and historical discussions for a lot of years in Mormonism, noted on Facebook that he had had a heart

attack and went to the hospital. I just want to send out our thoughts to him. I know that we have this

old Mormon adage of thoughts and prayers and there's really nothing you can say sometimes when people

have bad news or dealing with something that really makes everything better, but we just want

him to know that we're thinking about him and wish him the best in his recovery. Last I heard he was in the hospital still posting something. Oh, he's here. Look at that. Thanks, Bill. I'm doing fine. So there it is. Well, Tim, I'm glad that that is worked out. And you're doing us. And you're doing. I'd be happy if you're willing to share. I'd be happy to know a little more in the comments about how you're doing good so uh i'd be happy if you're willing to share i'd be happy to know a little

more in the comments about how you're doing and and what's going on there but get better get better soon

okay uh anything else from you what else is on your mind what else is on my mind well we're starting at

a new time this is the first time in the history of the show yeah which is becoming long and buried that we're starting at a new time. This is the first time in the history of the show.

Which is becoming long and varied. That we're starting at 6 o'clock p.m. Mountain Time. Yeah. Nice. Nice. So here it is. This is a new tradition. We said it last time, but the reason we started at 620 was because I got out of work at 6th, and I needed a little bit of time to get ready for the show. and now we're here.

It was a temporary commandment.

It was a temporary commandment. It was a temporary commandment, Mr. Radio Free Mormon.

Now it's going to be so easy to remember for everybody who wants us to catch every one of these

live shows. Monday will be at 6 o'clock. This is all mountain time. All right.
