So refreshing to get on honest view of Mormon News!

The Podcast comes from a very faithful perspective but they can also say, “I’m not sure why they did that”, or “That’s part of Church History that’s hard to rectify.”.

The other podcasts I listened to bent over themselves to say the Church was perfect and every leader that there ever was never made a mistake.

This is a refreshingly funny and current look at Mormon news.

Ill-informed Dribble

Just bunch of self-important people talking for the sake of hearing themselves talk. There is no informed commentary on the news, nothing intelligent they have to add, and in some instances misinformation. The church’s water rights amount to only a drop in the bucket of what the salt lake needs?!?! Experts estimate their rights amount to 10%. That’s significant!!!

Different discussions

This latest episode where the Hamilton talk and the byu church centered teaching guidelines was a good indication of how stale the discussion can get. They were “disappointed, shocked, or didn’t understand how the internet could react like that.” There are valid reasons for them to feel ok with these topics going the way they did, but to have them be so dismissive of people who were concerned or disagreed with the issues brought up in these cases was a bummer. It could be cool to have a model on these episodes where a couple views could be brought forward and model a discussion where the other side could listen to understand instead of listen to respond. I get that there are a segment of people who are afraid of this kind of discussion because they don’t want to validate people who question, and people who question don’t want to validate orthodoxy because it feels dismissive of their own journey. Is there a pair of hosts that can do that effectively? Can TWIM be that place?
