Mormons & Muskets with Jim Bennett: Mormonism Live: 126

RFM and Bill sit down with Jim Bennett to discuss his recent appearances on “Midnight Mormons” and take a look at all the rhetoric around violence in Mormonism including the musket talk by Elder Holland but with an updated and focused discussion around whether such a talk is fueling the very violent threats and rhetoric that critics of Holland’s talk have suggested could be the outgrowth of the “Musket” talk and the lack of the LDS Church in official channels condemning such rhetoric.

  1. I’ve lived in SLC 35 years. I came here from NY 35 years ago on a 9 month contract. I chose to stay because of the lively Arts scene and the outdoor access. I was not (and am not) LDS, but I was raised in the church formerly known as RLDS, so I had an idea of the mindset. I want to say that of all the people I have worked with in the Arts, all over the state, Jim Bennett is one of the most pleasant, most fair, and most genuine of anyone. I’ve followed Bill and RFM as folks who believed one thing and came to understand another. I don’t believe Jim is in the same boat, paddling away from Mormonism, but his willingness to engage and understand is major props for Bill and RFM’s programming because I feel I have a genuine feeling about who Jim is.
