hmmm...that'll be interesting. I heard it was supposed to be a program that showed not bias or anything like that. I wonder how it will be recieved from Mormons and non-Mormons as well. I'm not quite sure I liked how on the trailer it made our end of the practice of polygamy like we submitted to conformity-to fit into our country or something like that...As opposed to a revelation that was given that stated it that the practice wasn't neccessary any longer. What do you think? Did it come off that way?
Most anytime a media outlet will cover a religion, they tend to shy away from using words like "revelation" and "commmandments." Rather, the media outlet will present the information from a factual basis - i.e. the religion once practiced a certain way, now practices a different way.
Media coverage for other religions is very similar, although the focus on doctrine will vary, depending on the religion.
Wow. Aaron you're deep and such.
So, I watched the first half of "The Mormons" yesterday. I thought that if I wasn't a member of the Church it would freak me out with mentions of polygamy, Mountain Meadows Massacre, and Joseph Smith's sometimes odd behavior. But, being a member of the Church it was interesting to hear other people's perspective on how they view our religion. I think that one way to understand ourselves is to understand how others view us.
