Any Brits watching the Culture Show on BBC1 just now? Alan Yentob talking to Mormons about their work and reaction to the musical.
Sadly, I can't get BBC1 from where I live! I would be intrigued to see their reactions though.
I'm doing a bit of research into Mormonism at the moment, and despite its wacky beliefs (rightly ridiculed in the musical) the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints strikes me as Watchtower's poor relative in terms of its cult credentials. If you try and find the ex-Mormon community online you will discover it's a virtual ghost town compared to the abundance of ex-JW websites and forums. It seems the reason is because Mormon leaders are much less overt in demanding the shunning and ostracism of former members (an approach the Watchtower would do well to imitate).
