kryoung1983 Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 I have seen several videos from Heart of the matter. I find most of Shawns arguments beyond stupid, but I was wondering, has anyone seen him get owned on the air? Or have access to a recording. I would love to see that. Lol.
boblloyd91 Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 There was a poster on here named Walker who talked to Shawn about the divine council once. If you do a board search on Shawn McCraney you may be able to find it. Also look up promormon.blogspot.com who was banned by Shawn from calling. From what I understand his show was taken off the air, not sure why. I think he has been mostly forgotten. 1
boblloyd91 Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 I also remember that Blair Hodges wrote s review of his book....I think it's in the old FARMS book review

The Mormon callers were clearly screened to make sure they were not very knowledgeable. Anyone who started doing well would be shouted over and kicked off the line. It eventually ended because one weekend he'd gone to a new Protestant congregation while travelling (Baptists or something). His first show back he decided to do a show calling out the Baptists instead for their hypocrisy. Within a week the show was cancelled. It's worth remembering his stage persona was an act. The whole show was a circus. Watch his Mormon stories interview if you want to meet the man behind the motor mouth. 1

The only recording of "The Heart of the Matter" worth listening to is Don Henley's, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io-1nENaV18 . And that's the Gospel truth.
smac97 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 I have not followed Shawn McCraney much. I found his approach to Mormonism to be both smug, superficial and unserious. Here's an interesting summary of what has been happening over the past few years, if you are interested (I skimmed through it, as it's very long, and I'm not particularly interested): https://beggarsbread.org/2014/02/24/the-trials-of-shawn-mccraney-part-one/ Thanks, -Smac

Protestantism is, by its very nature, schismatic and fractured. Thanks, -Smac 1
