Re: How well will Romney answer the BBC's Mormon questions?
Romney has already showed his basic strategy; to side step any religious questions or questions about his churches' doctrine.
Whatever appears to be against the Book of Mormon is going to be overturned at some time in the future. So we can be pretty open minded.-charity 3/7/07

If asked of Holland in a documentary piece about Romney, these same questions will no doubt hound Romney over the next 7 months.
Are there better ways to answer Sweeney's questions than how Holland did?
I suppose answering them truthfully would be a step in the right direction...
If a Mormon is asked a question about their religion that they are uncomfortable answering honestly, then there is something wrong with the answer, not the question.

Those were some tough questions and Holland was well out of his comfort zone. He looked dreary and beaten.

Yes. But I guarantee you Romney won't answer them while on the campaign trail or holding political office. No need.
Agreed.

I too looked dreary and beaten when I was an active Mormon.
