RegularMormon Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Tune in to this radio show today at 5PM CST: http://www.971talk.com/Streaming/index.aspx"Dave Glover Show"I didn't catch the entire promo but he's going to have an "LDS Guest" (no name was given) on the show to answer "myths about Mormonism". It lead me to believe this person is an LDS represenative as he has done in the past. Last year he had an the area Mission President on to answer questions and some of the callers that called in...wow, it was an interesting show.
KevinG Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Oh for a medium and a few moments of J Golden Kimball's time!
cinepro Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Hopefully the interview will be filled with frank and honest answers.

cinepro Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) It's Joanna Brooks. Excellent! They're focusing on her recent article for the Washington Post:Five Myths About Mormonism Edited October 13, 2011 by cinepro
ldsfaqs Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I don't find it "excellent"..... Wolf in sheeps clothing, someone who misrepresents LDS theology. She herself admits on her website that she's "unorthodox". Entirely agree. Her liberalism and bearing false witness of conservatism and mormonism is not mormon in my view.
rongo Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I did two radio shows in Phoenix with two evangelical pastors (one a hip-hop artist --- he's actually a really sharp guy, and is finishing up his divinity school) back in July. It was a lot of fun ---- it's definitely quite an experience to tape a show live. Time *really* flies between segments, and all of you are an absolute slave to the clock (the "going to the break" music starts in at 30 seconds to cut-off).My shows are the ones on 7/10 and 7/17:http://backpack.podbean.com/category/mormonism/The first one was a critique of a prior show they did with clips from missionaries teaching one of them (the missionaries did a good job --- they were sharp and articulate). The second one was a commentary on all of the Mormon-themed shows they have done. They came upon me because of a series of community firesides my stake did (actually my ward ---- I wrote most of the material and put together the slides, but it was under the auspices of the stake), and over 130 non-Mormons came. I can post links to slides, handouts, Q&A transcripts, etc. if people are interested ("Are Mormons Christian?", "Book of Mormon: Fact or Fiction?", "Can Mormon Prophets Stand Up to Scrutiny?"). They had good feedback from listeners, and I will probably be asked back on in the future. The younger pastor (the hip-hop artist) also is an assistant pastor at a church and counsels a lot of his congregants with addictions and personal problems, and I have provided him some helpful material from the Church and from the Lighted Candle Society. We remain in contact.
William Schryver Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 It's Joanna Brooks. Excellent! They're focusing on her recent article for the Washington Post:Five Myths About MormonismI'm not a big fan of Joanna Brooks, but I think she did an adequate job on the Washington Post article linked above, and I trust she performed adequately in the radio interview.Yes, she's one of those dreaded "progressive" Mormons, but I'd much rather have her represent the church than someone like John Dehlin or, heaven forbid, cinepro! 1
thesometimesaint Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 ldsfaq:Mormonism is NOT conservative. It is radical. We proudly proclaim we are the sons and daughters of God, and that we can become just like him. 1

Would agree indeed. Certainly worse out there.
