Do you mean the situation the blacks in Africa were in or the situation the church was in?

First two hours:

1. Joseph Smith used a rock to hunt for gold which was against the law.
2. Joseph Smith used a rock in his hat to translate the BOM.
3. Joseph Smith had 30 wives and 10 of the women were married to other men. Joseph Smith forced them to have sex with him so their families could be saved in the celestial kingdom. Lots of misery.
4. Joseph Smith upset lots of non-mormons by destroying the newspaper press. Freedom of Speech stuff.
5. Joseph Smith upset the people from Missouri for saying the Garden of Eden was in Jackson County.
6. Joseph Smith became wealthy.
7. Joseph Smith was good at organizing people.
8. Brigham Young ordered one of the largest mass murders in America. (Mountain Meadows)
9. John Taylor stopped the practice of multiple wives to appease the US government so the US government would not take the Church’s property. Years later he John Taylor said it was a revelation although it the manifesto was written by several people.
10. Utah used to be part of Mexico.
11. A Methodist Preacher said he did not know what he would do if the church was true.

The second two hours (very boring by the way):

1. Boyd K Packard laughed about the talk he gave where he said “the greatest threat to the church is gays, lesbians, feminist and intellectuals.”
2. Dallin Oaks remarked that members could not criticize church leaders even if the remarks were correct.
3. John Taylor said that blacks are on the earth to be Satan’s agents.
4. The LDS church ignored letters from Africa for over 20 years from people begging to join the church until after the revelation regarding blacks and only then would SLC responded to their requests to baptism them.

There’s more but I’m out of time. I will have to list the other things later.

The show seemed to be designed for LDS members to watch and to be a little edgy. I was surprised they did not have Steve Benson on the show.

Hope this adds to your conversations.
