Under the Banner of Heaven. TV series.
Anyone else following this docu-drama?
Your thoughts? There is much of it the wallpaper of my younger years, tho discussions of polygamy past and present were discouraged, as were anything not "faith-affirming or faith-promoting". We were aware of it but weren't to discuss it. |

The book is so much better that I bailed after a couple of episodes. They turned a great and informative book into a Mormon-tinged police procedural.

Under the Banner of Heaven Repeats the Book’s Fundamental Mistake
The Hulu adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s book rebukes Mormon zealots but doesn’t fully escape their point of view. https://slate.com/culture/2022/05/un...mormonism.html |

You boys will have to give me a synopsis.
The 'Book of Morman' delivered to Joseph Smith by the angel Moroni is as 'mind blowing' as the Qu'ran, delivered to the Great Prophet Muhamad by an angel (who's name I can not remember). Don't make me Google this stuff. |

Krakauer supposedly forces a historical link to violence as a characteristic of the Salt Lake/Brigham Young branch, more a characteristic of some (not all) schizmatic "Fundamentalist" ( read polygamist) break-away groups, typically led by a self-annointed " true prophet" restoration of the "true church". While the Temple Square main group is authoritarian to varying degrees, violence hasn't been characteristic since the Edwardian years if at all. The Church does harbor a quiet historical sense of persecution by Federal central authority and hostile opponents.
