I typed that too fast: the questions he has are NOT about the published materials — they are about the implications of those published materials. 1

'Not one facet of our story is the way the church taught it'. not one is a tall order! every single detail about church history is false, like the Church teaches about Joseph Smith, but in Bill Reel's reality his name was Walter Cronkite and it wasn't in New York it was Florida and he didn't see a vision of God the Father and his son Jesus when in reality he saw the Rockettes😕 Every thing is a lie. My folks weren't sealed in the Cardston Temple in 1978, Bill Reel has special knowledge that they were lying, there is no Cardston Temple, what we see in pictures is the Quiznos in Lethbridge. Somehow Bill Reel knows everything! Edited November 27, 2018 by Duncan 4

It's a pretty clear and testable statement. I know where you stand, Duncan. Still waiting to hear from others. Is it a factual statement or not? 2

None in particular, I just googled "Bill Reel Blog" and that is what came up. I was curious to know of his writings. I know he writes lengthy introductions to each podcast, but didn't know if he'd written elsewhere.

I'm sorry I said anything I really don't have time do any study right now. I spend my whole day crying to Heavenly Father to help me with my life. To help my friends whose brother has passed away and to help the homeless that are around me. I made that post sitting on a bus stop in a foreign country that I'm forced to live in because of rules and regulations in my home country. Do not choose to live on a boat with two cats you will never find a place to keep your boat. Then I find out I'm sitting at the wrong bus stop but it's too late in the day to change buses. I had a really good rant post made up and the internet ate it . So I'm tired and I'm going to bed. The one thing I don't understand is how all of you folks have so much time for dissension. And yes you know who I mean. 4

And I'm so sorry for your friend, and for the homeless but hopefully they've found community that is safe. Take care friend.

SouthernMo Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 53 minutes ago, Hamba Tuhan said: As I used to teach my first-year history students during their very first week at university, no facts speak for themselves. Everything we say is interpretation. This whole 'I can't be wrong because all I've done is repeat facts' nonsense is risible, though it has certainly become a meme in the ex- and soon-to-be ex-Latter-day Saint community. So is god’s existence a fact?

Duncan Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Just now, SouthernMo said: You may be right here. The people who do study facts will soon leave the church or be asked to leave. That's ridiculous, plain and simple. Was Richard Bushman asked to leave? what about Richard Bennett, Hugh Nibley, James Allen, Susan Easton Black Durrant, Truman Madsen and the list continues 3

From my perspective, it could be true, but highly unlikely. I’d like to see the list of all the facets of the story Bill Reel is talking about. Likely, he’s using hyperbole or exaggerating, and thus not completely factual. Maybe this statement is what he’s under church discipline tomorrow evening for?
