Relative to the entirely appropriate requirement of the church for obedience to Divine Laws — which is, after all, the basis for obtaining the ultimate goal of ANY religion (Eternal Life, in this instance) and the only really legitimate reason for associating with any church — it would seem specious for persons to make claim of mistreatment by the church if called to repentance and disciplined toward gaining the rewards of obedience.

Finally, it was instructive to hear the attitude of the church relative to being "IN the world, but not OF it" — a people who are, as the ancient chief apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ, characterized them to be — in 1 Peter 2:9,10 — "the Mormons" — Saints (members) of the Church of Jesus Christ in the latter-days. — Lyle Kofford

I was very disappointed with "The Mormons." While it did interview church authorities, it played more like an expose', highlighting far more negative than positive. It allowed dissenters and skeptics to justify leaving the church, but offered little reason why anyone would want to be affiliated with the church. Perhaps most shameful of all was suggesting that the church discourages people from becoming educated. In terms of journalistic principle, this piece was very irresponsible. — Charles Cutler, Omaha, Nebraska

An interesting piece of work; but overall on the negative side. It gave the appearance of being objective but was way out of balance. Coverage from known critics of the church was far more extensive than from pro-church sources. More than 2 to 1. PBS has presented an overall anti-Mormon expose clothed in pseudo objectivity. — S. Neilsen from South Weber

Where is the Savior, no Articles of Faith, priesthood offices, church organization, standard works, mention of the auxiliaries and their themes and function, home teaching, visiting teaching, fasting, repentance, laying on of the hands for receiving the Holy Ghost, statistics of the church, growth chart, food storage, education, health, birth rate, death rate, life expectancy and a thousand other things. — Larry Bond
