Do you have any idea when you'd do the interview?

Which is 2130 over here, so I will try to be concise and clear.
Next day I need to be in the office at 0700 hrs :(

Do you plan on bringing up anything about the financial scandals you have mentioned in the past?

I'm also looking forward to hearing you on a podcast.

OT, but what the heck is going on with the Netherlands and Turkey? Could you write a little on the Miscelaneous page?

This is great news (or potential news), and I am excited that you'll be interviewed! You've always shared a unique perspective of the independent way of thinking in Europe and the way LDS people in your area often stand up for honesty and good values more readily than we see here in the states. I have lost count of the times you've mentioned confronting issues, or that someone has call the bluff of church leaders there.

Can't wait for the interview!

Man, the financial shenanigans of your stake was one of my favourite stories from this board. I can't wait to hear this on a podcast, along with the crisis of membership there. Going to be one of my favourite podcasts, no doubt! I'm sure the fallout will be interesting; seems if you are prepared for it.

I usually only listen to about 1/3 of the Mormon Stories podcasts these days. If this interview gets release, that is one I will defiantly want to listen to.

Please keep us posts on how it goes.

1,458 congregations minus 800. That seems way too many closures. Hard to imagine the Church making such a drastic cut, even if it is for cost cutting.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

He contacted me, and asked me to do a podcast with him.

SP won+t like it, but let´s just say I can´t be bothered by what the authoritah thinks.
Just have a schnapps or two for some dutch courage (swiss chocolate would be even better) and if you are like me, you will undoubtedly say things you later regret.

Best wishes, Meilingkie!

I saw you on the live Facebook feed just a few minutes ago. It is good to finally see you!

Also, you are brave.

You are indeed brave to accept the interview. I wasn't able to view it live - will it be included in the list of podcasts? Any idea when?

If you're friends with John, or in the Mormon Stories Podcast group on FaceNeck™, you can view the video there.

John will more than likely include it as part of the podcasts on the Momonstories site when he gets it ready.
