Reader responses regarding "The Mormons" PBS series
There were very few complete positive explanations of our teachings, and too much time spent on polygamy, Meadow Mountain and a woman who had an ax to grind. Her true colors came out, if she was truly exed for no good reason she would never make light of sacred things. The Lord will use this for furthering his cause. Jeff, Seattle, WA
I was not impressed. There were so many errors and accuracies. First, the church does not baptize dead members. Second, If Joseph just let his imagination run away from him, what about the witnesses that actually handled the Gold plates. No mention of that. This production went to out its' way to cast doubt on the teachings. It spent way too much time with polygamy and the Mountain Meadow Massacre and way too little time on the atrocities in Missouri and Illinois. Why wasn't the Mormon battalion talked about? Having sat on several church courts, not one was as Ms. Toscano represented. The process was totally misrepresented. The critique could go on and on. This was nothing more then an effort to give church dissidents a platform that they don't deserve. Dennis Peterson, Oklahoma City
