The name of his podcast and domain
mormondiscussionpodcast.com
Yeah, I know. But why would he rip off our name? I wonder if he knows this board exists?

I could never allow my children to be brainwashed by the cult. However, leaving the church or staying and not believing are both mentally taxing on an individual for different reasons. I therefore sympathize for both choices. That being said, I struggle to understand why someone would stay without believing in the magic. It makes little sense to me outside of social/family reasons.
Good on you. You stood up for your children and decided that they should not be forced to live their lives for anyone but themselves.
You had the courage to stand up.
I pity those who live in fear and thereby feel forced to live a life and thereby force their kids to live a life for someone else.

Typical of zealous defenders. Perhaps he hopes that confusion between mormondiscussions.com and mormondiscussionpodcast.com will help him reel in a few more suckers.

I like Bill. He is a thorn in the side of apologists who are pretty scathing towards him.
I am not sure he intended any link with this site. There's only so many titles you can give to a site that wants to discuss...well...Mormonism.
Anyway. Even if he got the idea from Shades, then it is a form of flattery.

Um ... 'discussingMormonism.com'?
Nope, that is a ripoff designed to divert traffic from this site.

Does Shades have a copyright? Not sure how this works legally. Where are some of our legal eagles?

Why doesn't someone actually ask Bill? His site has been going for a good while and it is a pay to listen on many discussions.

It looks like Bill started in August 2012. A good 4 years.

The site owner is a Mormon.
This "testimonial" seems to encourage being dishonest and ****:
Fake testimoanial written by Corsair on the copycat site wrote:Bill, I truly appreciate your efforts. You are among the reasons that I, as a total unbeliever, still attend weekly with my dear believing wife and maintain a current temple recommend.
So this whipped guy lies to his bishop and stake pres to keep his all day pass to the Mormon house of handshakes.
And Bill, thinks so highly of this deceit, that he posts it on his website.
This dishonest wimp will likely later come here to the REAL MormonDiscussions and vent about his kids marrying Mormons and going on missions blah blah blah
I don't know... perhaps most, if not all of those so called testimonials are FAKE.
Lying for the Lord seems to be an honorable thing to do.
PP,
Give it a rest.

Bill is a good guy who is not scared of questioning his own religion.
And he doesn't have a lot of patience with apologetics as usual.
Which is why he sometimes gets crosswise with Scott Gordon.
Bill's main goal is to follow the truth, wherever it may lead him.
I have a lot of respect for him.
All the Best!
