Thoughts on DVD Praise to the Man

[_Polygamy-Porter]

Ceeboo,

No, it is a pretty long movie. Joseph Smith is portayed as the spiritual victim to the extreme. All he is trying to do is tell people about Jesus and personal revelation. As you see from all the Mormons in this movie, the big question is, why in the hell is everyone picking on us?

The implication is that Satan doesn't want Mormons to spread the gospel of Jesus.

Interestingly, this movie represents my previous view of Mr Smith and church history.

If you could watch the whole thing, Ceeboo, you may not even recognize it as being a historic portrayal of the early church. This is chapel Mormon material. Welcome to my world.

If you watch this, you will see why my parents were so shocked when I told them Mr. Smith's behavior is repulsive to me.

Oh so you watched it Z? I did not pick that up earlier.

So is it a block of swiss cheese? Full of holes and stinky?

Porter,

I've seen it a couple of times. It was solid cheese when I watched it as a TBM. But now it seems a little comical. We could only watch a few minutes because it's a little too violent/depressing for the children.
