Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
What’s the March music that you’ve been using as your introductory theme? I’ve been wondering ever since you played it.
Thanks for your answer!
Honestly? I have no idea! I was just getting this show up and on the road with a lot of help from Bill Reel, and I told him the name of the podcast and how I thought it would be fun to introduce it with some martial music. So Bill went digging and came up with this piece. He didn’t want it to be immediately identifiable and I think he succeeded in that. So the bottom line is I can’t answer your question because I don’t know. Just another of the many mysteries of Radio Free Mormon!
The March is Semper Paratus, anthem of the U. S. Coast Guard.
And we have a winnah!
there are so many things wrong with this situation! I’m not saying it didn’t happen. I’m just wondering how this happened? So Joe bishop immediately sees this girl upon entering the MTC calls her out for testimony. And there are three other girls in the office for special attention. getting called to the presidents office to be alone with him? I mean I can see how a young girl who going on a mission will do anything her priesthood leader tells her to do. Like all joe bishop is missing is a flaming sword.
I understand this guys repressed sexuality. it is like trying to push water uphill. Males/Priesthood holders have sexuality like anybody else. Where is it to go? here is a man with extraordinary power (president of the MTC) with a population of sexually mature and naive females. of course he is intrigued with her previous sins. Poor guy never experimented as an adolescent. He is on the outs with his represssed wife. this whole environment is a powder keg.
Another question. Mckenna’s history of abuse/sins? isn’t all of this resolved with the Bishop before entering the MTC?! I mean you cannot get into the MTC with your wisdom teeth intact. How would the MTC president identify “incoming prey”. How does He know of her past? Just asking… were there so few sisters at the time he could review all incoming sisters and look for signs of weakness?
I was in the MTC in ’86
I was an AP to Joseph Bishop when he first arrived in Argentina as Mission President. There were actions I observed first hand that lead me to believe these women are telling the truth.
The abject delusions of Bishop that it was demonic spirits in him when it was his own sexual deviancy and proclivities that were boiling up in him (while he still had a conscience). Calling the AP’s to your house at midnight to exorcise demons with yells of, “Get him out, Elder, he’s inside of me..!” when it should have been a confession of the soul to leaders and a release because he was unfit to serve as Mission President.
You were AP to Joseph Bishop in Argentina?
I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences with him.
Let me know if you would be willing to talk with me about the subject.
Thanks!
