One area I would like to...Very interesting points.<br /><br /><i>One area I would like to see included in future survey research is how evangelical counter-cult depictions of Mormonism shape ex-Mormon concepts of Mormonism and the LDS Church.</i><br /><br />I agree. I'm continually surprised by ex-Mormon's descriptions of there experiences as active Mormons (e.g., social interactions, or what they were taught in Sunday school). Since I feel like mine has been a pretty robustly representative experience, I'm left to conclude that either they had an exceptionally unfortunate experience, or they have let bad feelings strongly color their memories, sometimes to the point of distortion. It would be interesting to find out how much of that coloring is influenced by evangelical anti-Mormon material.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498290529550647229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15264500.post-30377842751317340772010-07-17T11:23:14.930-06:002010-07-17T11:23:14.930-06:00Very interesting points.
