Watched just a bit of the video. The Mormon guy seems quite reasonable and is probably a great neighbor. Will have to try to see it all.

The video interview is almost 2.5 hours long so I'm watching a little at a time. The material covered in the interview is highly relevant to our current book discussion so I hope some of you find time to watch it in its entirety.

c'mon you softies, i watched the whole thing in one shot :explode:

really gave a rare window into the world of the street preacher and the high priest.

talk about the odd couple, but as is often the case there was a baby in the bathwater.

This interview is interesting - clearly these two guys respect each other. Who is Ruben Israel interviewing? He seems like a Mormon Fundmentalist who doesn't agree with many of the "modern accommodations" that have been introduced. He stands with the historical racism of LDS. I wonder how representative his opinions are? (Fitzgerald book on order, but not received yet.)
