Hi all,

Does anyone think any media outlets would be interested in proving the dodo wrong in respect of LDS shunning? Probably could fit in well if the BBC ever did a follow up of their programme.

The Jeffrey Holland interview with Mr. Sweeney is bittersweet for me. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to catch an Apostle off-guard and to expose to corporate dishonesty of the "Church" and its leaders. The bitter part is that unfortunately I expect that behind the PR doors of Mormonism the result is going to be similar to what you'd expect from after a successful break-in to a high security facility, ie, more security. In other words, it will be that much more difficult to get these kinds of opportunities in the future.

I think if that were the case then the fall out would've happened with GBH's famous "I don't know that we teach that, I don't know that we emphasise it..."

But I agree they'll be more circumspect about their approach.

The church is highly gaffephobic. The brethren don't interview unless it's rigged propaganda.
I don't think Holland or any other mormon authority will be risking an interview with a real reporter.

Romney lost.

His Mormon minority overstated religion no longer is relevant to the main stream media.

Indeed

the program was called 'The Mormon candidate'

Romney lost

as far as the rest of the world is concerned, the cult is no longer relevant

I wouldn't be certain given the exposé follow up the reporter did after his first Scientology thig. But time will tell x

I don't think mormon politics is interesting or relevant to anyone not directly connected..

I'm guessing that most people outside of utah think about mormonism about as often as they think about say.. whaling.
