Joseph Smith's First Vision
Last week I lent my nevermo, non-theist neighbors a copy of the Mr. Krueger's Christmas DVD--which just so happens to have the church's latest version of the Restoration film on it. I asked them to watch the Restoration and last night we chatted about it and compared the film to the contemporary accounts (or lack thereof) of the vision. I thought it was interesting to get their perspective on the film, especially in light of the conflicting versions of the vision.

You still going to do more? Your podcasts are good. Don't stop.
Your podcasts are really great. I enjoy the conversations you have with each other.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into making your podcasts!
I enjoy listening to the conversation with 2 never-Mo's and yourself. It is interesting to hear their remarks. I think you 3 do a wonderful job!
Are there any more podcasts coming up? I sure hope so!
I enjoyed this episode. There are a couple of points on which I wanted to comment, however.
First, you make the claim that Joseph Smith never told anyone about the First Vision when he was a boy. You base this claim on the premise that no records exist of him doing so. Unfortunately, this does not prove that Joseph Smith never told anyone. All it proves is that no records exist of him telling anyone. I am not saying he did tell anyone, only that your premise does not support your claim.
Second, you commented that the 1932 account of the First Vision mentioned Jesus, but not God. The conclusion made then is that God was not present. Based on what I know of the account, there is no wording that specifically states that God was not present, or that Jesus was the only person there. Again, I am not stating that Jesus was not by himself, only that the conclusions being made are not necessarily accurate and are based on non-existent information.
Sound full of digital squeaks, etc.
iTunes -> mp3 -> Rio.
I really enjoyed these podcast, I would have loved more.
