Summary Don Higgins and Joe Miles announce the launch of a new online hunting show called Chasing Giants TV, a Mission Whitetail series. The show will feature Don and Joe sharing their experiences and strategies for hunting whitetail deer. They will be joined by a diverse group of hunters, including Bobby Worthington, West Delks, Terry Peer, Steve Shields, Chris Yates, Bryhn Kraft, Brandon Epperson, and Ty Miller. The show will provide a platform for hunters of all levels to learn and be inspired. Osseo Gear is the main sponsor of the show, and the first episodes will be released in September. In this conversation, Don, Terry, and Joe discuss various topics related to hunting and habitat management. They cover subjects such as camera placement, acorn crops, grafting trees, and the impact of floods on deer populations. They also talk about the adaptability of whitetail deer and the importance of proactive management decisions. The conversation ends with a discussion about upcoming hunting trips and projects. Overall, the conversation provides valuable insights and tips for hunters and land managers.

The acorn crop can vary from year to year, and it's important to select fruit trees that ripen later in the season for hunting purposes. Grafting a female limb onto a male persimmon tree can result in a female persimmon tree. Deer are highly adaptable and can thrive in various landscapes and conditions. Proactive management decisions, such as limiting doe harvest, can have a positive impact on deer populations. Flooded areas can be repopulated by deer as the water recedes and new vegetation grows. Fall plots with diverse plant species can provide attractant throughout the season. The Mission Whitetail TV show will feature hunting adventures in various states and countries. The hosts express their appreciation for the support and friendship of their listeners and guests.

Summary In this episode, Terry and Don catch up on their recent activities, including filming with Steve Shields and preparing for the Midwest Sportsman's Classic. They also discuss the new Ninmax batteries and answer questions about deer movement and tree planting. Don emphasizes the importance of playing the wind when hunting mature bucks, despite a study that suggests otherwise. He also provides advice on shading potted trees to prevent heat damage. In this part of the conversation, Don and Terry answer questions from listeners about scenting rope scrapes, promoting bedding in cattails, learning the movement of bucks, managing overgrown fields, and shooting albino or piebald deer. They also share updates on Lester's Feet and upcoming events. Don mentions that his days of seminar tours are winding down, and Terry shares his travel plans to Tennessee and the Gulf of Mexico.

Although this started as a conversation about Gwangju and Professor Don Baker's experiences there starting in 1971, including witnessing the aftermath of the massacre in 1980, we quickly understood there was much more for us to explore. This includes Don's impressions of Kim Dae-jung, gender and women in the Joseon Dynasty, Korea's historical relationship with China, Confucianism and ancestor worship, the effects of Japanese colonization, and the field of Korean Studies more broadly. It was completely spontaneous, but I also noted the following people and their work referenced throughout this conversation, demonstrating the depth and breadth of Don's knowledge: Alexis Dudden, Dave C Kang, Alexander Woodside, Jisoo Kim, Hyaeweol Choi, Carter Eckert, Andre Schmid, Jahyun Kim Haboush, Gregory Henderson, Robert Carlin, Eugene Park, Michael Seth, John Jorgensen, Kim Sun Joo, BR Myers, Bruce Cumings, James Palais, Mark Peterson, John Duncan, Steve Shields, and David Dolinger. Despite knowing the tragedy and violence taking place in Gwangju, Don snuck into the city to find his friends and understand what was really happening. His descriptions of the attacks and murder that took place in Gwangju are heartbreaking to listen to. And through all of this, he nevertheless finishes with words of hope and positivity.    Discussion Outline 0:00 Unpacking Gwangju  6:00 Kim Dae-jung 10:20 1970s Korea 20:50 On Confucianism 24:30 Korean Studies 30:00 The Joseon Dynasty 38:50 Japanese Colonization and Collaboration 51:55 Korean Studies and Factions 1:08:50 Confucianism vs Catholicism (Ancestor Worship) 1:15:30 The Assassination of Park Chung-hee 1979 1:21:40 The Gwangju Massacre 1980 1:47:00 American Involvement in Gwangju 1:55:30 Representations of Gwangju 2:03:46 Conclusions on Life and Korea Dr. Baker's Books A Korean Confucian's Advice on How to Be Moral: Tasan Chŏng Yagyong's Reading of the Zhongyong (University of Hawaii Press, 2023) Catholics and Anti-Catholicism in Chosŏn Korea (University of Hawaii Press) with Franklin Rausch.

  Frayne was the second guitarist of three in the long history of Champaign, Illinois' Ack-Ack, where he met Lynn Canfield, Brendan Gamble, Steve Shields and Joe Strell. He was a founding member of Area and The Moon Seven Times — new wave/ethereal music groups also from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Through the 1980s, Frayne's music engaged the interest of fans and music professionals — culminating in the signing of The Moon Seven Times to Third Mind Records which subsequently became a part of Roadrunner Records (later to become a part of Warner Music Group.) The Moon Seven Times recorded three CDs before being dropped by Roadrunner Records in 1997. Frayne went back to a side project recorded in 1991 and released Lanterna, an instrumental album of driving shoegazing material featuring The Moon Seven Times trailblazing sonographer Brendan Gamble on drums and lyrics on "Down by the Seine" by Lynn Canfield.[1] Lanterna became the name of the project, as well as the album (which was initially released on Urbana's Parasol Records before being picked up by Rykodisc). Since the initial œuvre, Lanterna has shared five albums of recorded material, mostly via Badman Records.   Henry's Info http://www.lanterna.tv/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5DOvVOTAsmwWTI9dKu8HGN iTunes: https://music.apple.com/.../chagrin-boulevard/1557785961...

Welcome to a special segment of the Uncensored Humanity Podcast we call American Honesty. During these shows I have two co-hosts; Andrew Hoffman and Jake Bible. On the American Honesty segments we like to discuss topics that society has deemed inappropriate. Our goal is to just get our opinions out in the open for a discussion. We believe that the ability to talk about these tough topics is seriously lacking in today's society, as people seem to get offended too easily. Today we have a special guest on the podcast Steve Shields. Steve is a financial advisor. It was really interesting to get his perspective on how the corona virus is affecting our economy. Luckily he has an optimistic outlook on the situation as a whole. We also all had a couple of whiskey's during the podcast. It definitely made things a little more interesting and some of us possibly a little more vocal. It was definitely a fun conversation. Hopefully you all enjoy it as much as we did. American Honesty is a project that Jake started a couple of years ago. So now using the podcast as our platform we are going to carry on the project that Jake started. Hopefully it will lead to some good conversations that others can enjoy as much as we do. Both Andrew and Jake have been on the show multiple times separately. If you want to hear more about them, please check out their individual episodes.         © 2018 Uncensored Humanity   Artwork by Kathryn Kidwell Intro music Rover by S Strong – available on Youtube audio library Outro music Whitestick by S Strong – available on Youtube audio library

President Nelson has made a big push about using the name of our church, but it wasn't always known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Michael Marquardt, an unsung hero in Mormon history, tells why the church changed names a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwMGkNRDo8U Michael: In May of 1834 members of the United Firm, which was like an auxiliary of the church at that time, met and changed the name of the revealed name of a Church of Christ to the Church of Latter Day Saints. And that's where that name comes in. GT: Now, I just interviewed--in fact we just published it yesterday it was--an interview with Steve Shields and he said that it was Sidney Rigdon who came up with that name Church of the Latter Day Saints. Michael: Yes. He proposed that. Sidney Rigdon was an elder and also high priest in the church. And the church is in deep debt at that early time of 1834. And that was one of the reasons at that time that they, said that the church was organized in Fayette--to protect the organization. It's the same reason as the next year in the 1835 First edition of the doctrine and covenants, they used pseudonyms. No there was not real names but other names. So people would not know who the revelation that we're referring to to protect the organization, protect the individuals. GT: For financial reasons is that the main reason? Michael: From what I can gather that that's the main main reason at that time. GT: Okay. Okay. So let's recap here. So April 6, 1830 the Church is organized in Manchester. In 1833 it's published that it's still organized in Manchester. In 1835 we start having some difficulties with finances. So they renamed the Church: Church of Latter-day Saints. They left out Jesus Christ, by the way, I'll add in. Michael: Well, it was 1834. Yeah. You'll notice sometimes while the name, Jesus is not there or the title Christ, it was also used at that time. You probably noticed that Michael said the was founded in Manchester, New York, contrary to the official church history record that the church was organized 30 miles away in Fayette.  How does Michael make his case, and why is there a discrepancy? GT: Why does the church say Fayette and why are you saying it's in Manchester? Michael: Well, it's basically trying to look at over a period of time, where the baptisms occur, where the revelations were given. And, of course the early Church of Christ did publish in the Evening and Morning Star, the first church periodical that it was organized and established in Manchester on April 6. And that's also where you find where it mentions six members. So there's probably was six individuals. We don't know if they're a male or a female. GT: Okay. You said this was published where again? Michael: In the 'Evening and the Morning Star' in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri. GT: And what was the date on that? Michael: It would be March, 1833 and April, 1833. GT: So in March and April of 1833. The Evening and Morning Star is saying that the church was organized in Manchester, not in Fayette. Michael: Correct. Marquardt says several revelations occurred in Manchester in April 6, 1830, and this was because it was the first church meeting.  Were you aware of a discrepancy in the historical record for the location of the founding of the Church? Michael Marquardt says the Church was organized in Manchester, some 30 miles from Fayette, NY. Does he make a solid case?

It's sad to say that some groups that believe in the Book of Mormon are notorious for the crimes they have committed.  In our final conversation with Steve Shields, we will discuss the Lafferty brothers, and Ervil Lebaron.  Both groups were involved in murder. https://youtu.be/U9lPnFXKI5M Steve: It's really hard to deal with some of those that are just so grossly offensive in what they do. A lot of people, especially Bob Crossfield's folks would rather I not talk about the Laffertys. But I say, well, I can't not [talk about them] because they exist or existed, and there was something going on. Bob Crossfield was a self-proclaimed prophet from Canada who eventually developed what they called the School of the Prophets and Bob himself issued more than 100 revelations. The Lafferty brothers, Ron and Dan got involved in Crossfield's School of the Prophets, but quickly took over what that was all about and turned it into something evil. Evil, maybe that's not objective, but when you receive or proclaim a revelation that says, "God tells me to kill this person and kill that person and kill that person..." They were a modern-day resurrection of Ervil LeBaron. Ervil was evil. Most of the family members that I know in the LeBaron clan would say the same thing. I don't know any of the Lafferty folks, but I do know Bob Crossfield's people. They were just devastated by how the Laffertys twisted everything that Bob Crossfield is all about and turned it into something so horrible. History is not always pretty. Thankfully there haven't been too many of those kinds of things happening in all of Latter-day Saint history, but every now and again, some of that stuff crops up and you have to deal with it the best way you can. Check out our conversation.  If you have missed any of our previous conversations with Steve, check out the links below. Steve Shields describes a few Mormon groups involved in murder. 240: Para-Church Mormon Groups (Shields) 239: Cutlerite Endowment, Female Priesthood, & House of Aaron(Shields) 238: Fundamentalists and Cutlerites (Shields) 227: Conspiracy Theories:  William Smith, Samuel Smith, James Strang(Shields) 226: Sidney's Unsung Role in Restoration (Shields) 225: Steve's Shields Own Divergent Path 224: Who Owns the Temple Lot? (Shields)

Not all groups in Steve Shields book should be considered denominations.  In our next conversation, we'll talk about some of these subgroups with official endorsement of the LDS Church, such as Affirmation and the Genesis Group.  https://youtu.be/CmDpx5LlEac Steve:  Affirmation is a para-church organization. It provides a church-oriented fellowship for LGBTQ people who are not often welcomed in the standard ward and most of them are LDS folks in Affirmation. But, they're providing a ministry that is, dare I say it? Tangential to the LDS Church. So, I consider that an expression. GT:  Would it be like the Genesis Group? Steve: Genesis Group would have been a very similar kind of a group. Genesis had the full support of the church where Affirmation does not. So, there's a little difference there. Maybe that's a big difference, actually. Certainly, with the LDS Church's policy of a couple of years ago about LGBTQ people, and their children being able to be baptized [that] would take them even one step further the other direction, away from seeing Affirmation [as a good thing] GT:  Whereas the Genesis [Group] was [fully supported by the church], right? Steve: Yeah, they were. Right. GT:  Just for people who may not know what Genesis Group is, I know we do. But can you describe Genesis Group? Steve:  I probably don't know very much about it. It was before blacks were allowed to be ordained and it was a ministry group for black LDS Church members, their families and friends. They could be members of the church and it was a support. It was supported by the church, mostly here in the Salt Lake area, I think. Darius Gray, who is well-known in Mormon thought circles, was one of the key people, as I remember. GT:  Yeah, he was one of the original counselors and he went on to become President later. He's a great guy. Steve:  So that was an important ministry in the era of civil rights upset in the United States. Ultimately then in 1978, when full ordination was finally permitted for all.

The LDS Church recently made changes to their temple endowment ceremony.  Rumor has it that the Cutlerite endowment has changed very little since the death of Joseph Smith.  We'll continue our discussion about Cutlerite temple practices with Steve Shields. It appears they believe women hold priesthood in their temple ordinances! https://youtu.be/8nA9mj_bp3s Steve: So, that building is, in all intents and purposes, it's a temple and it would resemble the Kirtland Temple model except Kirtland had no font. But, the upstairs room for the priesthood on the second floor, they weren't necessarily doing rituals there, but they did some washings and anointings upstairs on the third floor in the attic level. And so, on the second floor of the Cutlerite buildings in Minnesota and Independence, that's dedicated as a holy place. They call it the upper room work. They don't use the term endowment. They do know what that means because we've talked about it with them. But, I do know. They've told me this, that women are ordained as high priestesses in the celestial church, not in the outer church, not in the public church. They have no priesthood in the public church. GT: Oh, so women have a temple priesthood, but not an Ecclesiastical priesthood. Steve: Exactly. Yeah, that's right. That's the extent of my knowledge about that. A few years ago when… GT:  That's interesting, Michael Quinn, in my current interview, just kind of said the LDS have the same thing. Jonathan Stapley said, "Well, we don't want to call it priesthood." But Quinn wasn't nearly as careful on that. Steve: Yeah. Well, I'm in the Quinn camp on that issue. We'll also discuss a break off from the RLDS Church called the House of Aaron. Steve:  The House of Aaron is based at Eskdale, Utah. And they used to be called the Aaronic Order or the Order of Aaron. Morris Glendening was the founder, promoter of that. In the recent 10 or 12 years, they've been having lots of conversation with Fred Larsen and the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. John Conrad, who is the leader of the House of Aaron, his father was Bob Conrad, who was the chief high priest successor to Morris Glendening as chief high priest. John has gone out to Independence many times with folks their church. They've shifted a lot since Glendening's times in the '40's. They always said they were not Mormons and yet all of their members had been Mormons. Have you heard of the House of Aaron before?  Check out our conversation…. Steve Shields says Cutlerites have female priesthood, and we talk about House of Aaron in Eskdale, Utah Don't forget out other conversations with Steve! 238: Fundamentalists and Cutlerites (Shields) 227: Conspiracy Theories:  William Smith, Samuel Smith, James Strang(Shields) 226: Sidney's Unsung Role in Restoration (Shields) 225: Steve's Shields Own Divergent Path 224: Who Owns the Temple Lot? (Shields)

In this episode, Steve Shields and I discuss some of the larger and smaller Mormon groups: fundamentalists and Cutlerites. Many of these fundamentalists practice polygamy. https://youtu.be/N4q_namvQ5g Steve:  The FLDS has 8,000 to 10,000. The Apostolic United Brethren and has 8,000 to 10,000, somewhere in that range. Those are the two largest organized groups, organized structural institutions. I've heard numbers of 50 or 60,000 fundamentalist Mormons all told. There's either some smaller, like the Centennial Park--I don't want to call them a group because the Centennial Park priesthood affiliation, maybe as a way to talk about those. You've got Naylor and Nielsen. You've got the guy up in British Columbia, Winston Blackmore. He's actually incorporated as the Church of Jesus Christ (Original Doctrine). That's their corporate filing in Canada. He's got 500 or so. Nielson and Naylor and Blackmore have been kind of doing some, they've not merged per se, but some cross affiliation because Nielsen and Naylor's problem with the Jeffs family was very similar with Winston's. So frankly, in all of the fundamentalist Mormons, there's very little doctrinal difference, if any at all. It has to do with priesthood authority. Who has the legitimate line? GT: I talked with Anne Wilde and one things that she said was really the largest group are what she would call independent or unaffiliated. Steve: That's right. Most of them are unaffiliated but they do fellowship with each other. You've got a large following: Fred Collier, Tom Green and others who believe in what they called the patriarchal order. Every father is a patriarch over his own family and has full authority to ordain his children, the male children. We'll also discuss the only other Mormon group that has an endowment ceremony in the temple.  They are sometimes referred to as the Cutlerites, named after Alpheus Cutler. Steve: Alpheus Cutler's church has always been small, and they do not proselytize. They don't believe in that. Alpheus Cutler is said to have been given a revelation that in the last days there will only be two and from that small branch, God will redeem Zion. So, they don't worry too much about that. They're getting older. GT: They're the ones who still have a temple ceremony. Is that right? Steve: Yes, they do. The upper room work is conducted in their building in Independence. I'll say on a regular basis. That doesn't mean every day or every week necessarily. I don't know any more about it than that. Nobody does except them and I respect that. I'm very curious, of course. How big are they?  Check out our conversation…. Steve Shields discusses Mormon polygamists and Cutlerites, the only other Mormon group with a temple endowment ceremony.

Following the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, brother Samuel died within a month.  Was Samuel poisoned? https://youtu.be/M8w5-Zohz6s Steve:  You know, conspiracy theorists. Okay, fine. Was he poisoned deliberately? Who knows? There's no way to know. The typical story had been that he, was [ill with] was it pneumonia or cholera or, I can't remember what. In those days, in the Midwest, in the summer months, you had malaria, you had typhus, you had cholera. I mean, that stuff was rampant. Their food sanitation was different from what we would have today. It could've been any number of things, I think. There's no way to ever know for sure now, even if we were to exhume his remains, there's not enough left to do any of that kind of study, probably. Was he poisoned deliberately by somebody? Well, it could be, but why? Maybe I have a different view of Brigham young and his colleagues than some, I'm not willing to just write Brigham Young off and call him an evil, you know, usurper. Were people out to kill the other prophet's brother William? GT:  Back to William Smith. So he came to Nauvoo [in] September of 1844. Steve:   By the end of August, early September, he was back in Nauvoo, I'm pretty sure. GT:  And Brigham ordained him as patriarch. Steve: He was called as patriarch and I presume they ordained him. I don't know, because I'm not sure that all that ritual stuff had really been solidified at that early time. I don't know. Today, of course we would always do that. Did they need to? He was already an apostle. Maybe he just needed to be designated that. I don't know. What about James Strang? Steve:  Within weeks of affiliating, William Smith was disaffiliated, and that was before Strang ever got involved, ever publicly announced polygamy. I'm not sure when he [William] got involved in it. Somebody knows those dates, I just can't remember them. William Smith was there long enough to write this hymn that was published in Strang's paper at Voree, which is near Burlington, Wisconsin. Actually, it's now part of the city limits, but it [the hymn] was an ode to Voree, and it has something like 15 verses. Check out our conversation… Here's the first 3 parts with Steve Shields! 226: Sidney's Unsung Role in Restoration (Shields) 225: Steve's Shields Own Divergent Path 224: Who Owns the Temple Lot? (Shields)

Steve Shields was raised in the LDS Church and attended BYU.  So why is he now a member of the Community of Christ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJq4ul9ymB4 Steve:  I was really interested in church history and I started reading these books and pamphlets that were not approved by the general authorities and my mother warned me that if I kept reading that kind of stuff, I would lose my testimony and leave the church. She wasn't happy that she was right. I don't see it as losing my testimony. Did I leave one organization for another? Yes, but I think my faith in Christ is stronger than it has ever been. I'm not saying that I didn't have faith before. By going this different route, I began to focus more on what I think matters most. Steve:  And history then, didn't become the main focus of my faith, but became a main interest. That sort of--Oh, do I dare use the word tangent? Tangential to my faith. GT:  We like that word. Steve:  Yeah. It was a big deal to make that move. By the time I had been on my mission and, and done that, I had some pretty out of the box ideas about God. Steve discusses his reasons for changing his religion, and we discuss the RLDS/Community of Christ hierarchy.  What are the similarities and differences with the LDS Church? GT:  I know John Hamer was recently called to be a Seventy. Steve: He's a Seventy, right. ... GT: He would be more like an Area Authority? Steve:  He's like an area authority. Yeah, that would be. Yeah. Our Seventies are more like Area Authorities. Now, there may be some official expenses that they're provided for travel and things like that. And I don't know. Every jurisdiction, every mission center of the church and mission centers for us are like areas for the LDS organization. GT:  I've heard that they've been compared to a stake. Steve:  Well, but stakes are different from LDS, have always been different from LDS stakes. It's not been uncommon for us to have 30 or 40 congregations in a stake. Steve:  And the stake presidents were full-time world church appointees. So, stake looks and feels like it might be the same in both, but it really wasn't because of the size. So, I really think the mission centers replaced stakes, as we tried to reduce the number of levels, so we used to have the general officers and then the fields. Each apostle had a certain geographical area. Then we had stakes and regions and districts. And so, we tried to compress all of those stakes and regions and districts are now all mission centers and we reconfigured that.

This week, due to a snafu with the interview files I had recorded for the Satanic Witch series, I had to put out an episode I had planned to put out after the Satanic Witch series was finished. I hope you enjoy this episode instead! In this episode, I talk with owner and operator of Temple of Flesh; the BDSM event where I DJ as DJ Lyra Shae often. This episode focuses more on BDSM rather than Satanism because I wanted to get our listeners  educated on the scene. This interview is jam packed with information for beginners, intermediates, and those who are into advanced play like edge play. We talk about a whole host of topics including the effect of the introduction of the 50 Shades of Gray book series on the scene, what it’s like to run a BDSM Dungeon, BDSM relationships vs. vanilla relationships, and much, much more. Steve is hilarious and incredibly insightful. This is one episode not to be missed! All of the music in this episode was hand-picked and DJ’d by me. Steve Shields’s personal bio and picture can be found below: “I am an openly Bi-sexual male. I am married to a women and live in a open relationship. I personally hate labels but in my BDSM and Sexual life I work best when I am in control. So most people call that a TOP / Master / Dom / Daddy / Sir..etc, but I am happy to just be called Steve. When someone gives me control to play them the dynamic is known from that point forward. I started my exploration into BDSM around the age of 16 although I did not know it had a label at that time, to me it was just kinky. I explored on my own until the early 1990s when I found regular partners with the same interests. I gained a small underground reputation for my personal activity and that led to starting Temple of Flesh production company. Established in 1996, Temple of Flesh is the longest running Fetish Production Company in the state of Texas. Temple of Flesh has produced and/or performed in Fetish Production in the following cities: (San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Austin, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, St Louis) Temple of Flesh was also the first to bring London’s #1 Fetish Club producers “Torture Garden” to the united states in 1997. Currently Temple of Flesh produces The San Antonio Fetish Balls. Temple of Flesh also runs a “Members only” fetish underground club called “TEMPLE” in San Antonio, TX. Over time I have had the privilege to meet so many wonderful people from all the events I have produced and I was only able to do so many events because of the wonderful people I know. A hobby besides producing fetish events is photography, I have had such fun taking photos of friends and lovers. I am not that good at it, but I keep trying. I continue to learn more about BDSM every day it ebb and flows and is always changing and always has new developments, but the exchange of control and the trust you need for that is a constant.”
