5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] During a stake disciplinary council, there are 16 men. The stake presidency and a clerk are present, in addition to 12 high councilors. Six of the high councilors are assigned to defense and the other six are assigned to present evidence. The Bishop is not part of the council. The only reason that the Bishop would be allowed to be there would be as a witness. He would not be speaking or participating in the running of the proceedings. The "sister wife" would only be allowed to be there if she were a witness. Typically, the witnesses would wait outside until they are called. They would not be allowed to take notes. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	A woman and one of her "sister wives" are sitting in a room. The Bishop and Stake President are sitting alone at the head of the table. There are six other men in the room (eight men total), and the two women.

5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] This appears to be simply a plot device to tie in with the mysterious letter that has been driving the plot. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The following odd exchange occurs between the woman and the Stake President: Stake President: Well, let's begin. Are you taping this hearing? Woman: No. SP: Let me ask you again, are you taping this hearing. Woman: No, I am not. SP: Nothing in your purse? On your phone? Would you mind if we removed your bag from the room? Following this exchange, both of the women's purses are then taken out of the room.

5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] As mentioned before, the Bishop should not be a participant. He should not be asking questions. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The Bishop says "Have you had some time to pray and reflect upon your situation since we spoke?"	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] The question about wearing garments is standard in any temple recommend interview. If the woman were actually LDS, she wouldn't even be surprised by the question. Perhaps the answer that the woman gives to this question is how Latter-day Saints ought to respond when they are accused by critics of wearing "magic underwear." It is ironic that this response was given. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	This exchange occurs between the woman and the Stake President: SP: Are you still upholding your temple covenants? Woman: Yes, but my interpretation might conflict with yours. SP: Well, for example, are you wearing your garments? Woman: President Davis, are you asking me to tell you what kind of underwear I have on?	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] Once again, the Bishop is not allowed to speak. He does not have authority in this proceeding. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The Bishop speaks up yet again, saying "there's still an opportunity for you to find your way back to the Church. Will you repent?"	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] It is highly unlikely that any real LDS Stake President would consider a past practice of the Church that we consider to have been sanctioned by the Lord Himself as a "misguided abomination." Nor would it be regarded as a "shameful practice." The only somewhat accurate part of this statement is that is has no place in the modern Church. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The Stake President says: "You know that polygamy is a misguided abomination. It's a shameful practice that has no place in the modern Church."	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] This exchange is actually an allusion to what happened with the so-called "September Six." Church critics charge that the excommunication of what the media referred to as "LDS scholars" was in reality ordered by President Boyd K. Packer. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The following exchange is present simply to advance the plot regarding a mysterious letter which the Church wants. The woman asks the Stake President if "this hearing [was] requested directly from Church headquarters" and if he "receive[d] instruction." The Stake President acts guilty and responds that he doesn't see "how that's relevant" to the proceeding. The woman then claims that she is being punished because of a "certain letter" that her husband helped to purchase for the Church which is claimed to expose that the Church never intended to cease the practice of polygamy. The existence of the letter has been a plot device throughout the entire third season.	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] This is another allusion to the critics' assertion that the Church disciplines scholars and attempts to hide the truth. The phrase from Elder Packer was taken from a talk called "The Mantle is Far, Far Greater than the Intellect." The phrase "some thing that are true are not very useful" is a favorite of critics of the Church. It is used by them to support the idea that the Church excommunicates intellectuals and historians. See: Boyd K. Packer on the truth [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The Stake President then actually mentions President Packer by name: "...as our Elder Packer has said before, we all know that there's the temptation to tell everything, whether its worthy, or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful."	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] This is the third time that the Bishop, who is not allowed on the council, has talked of repentance. It seems implied that repentance is simply a matter of admitting that you are wrong. In reality, it is much more complex than that. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The Bishop provides yet another appeal to repentance: "...we sincerely want to help you escape this life. Don't turn against us. Will you repent?" The Bishop also implies that if the disciplinary council follows through, that her "eternal salvation" will be lost.	[]	Mormonism and popular media/"Big Love" and the temple - FairMormon	The Big Love"Mormon"	http://en.fairmormon.org/%22Big_Love%22_and_the_temple	14/1438042986646.29_20150728002306-00229-ip-10-236-191-2_80375811_5.json
5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_	[The Latter-day Saint] This formal statement appears to have been added as a bit of Hollywood drama. "Ancestors" and "progenitors" (literally 'those who were born before you') are the same thing—the expression is redundant. [The Big Love"Mormon"]	The Stake President portentously declares: "...henceforth your name shall be removed from the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You will not be allowed to partake of the sacrament. The sacred ordinances that bind you to your family, your ancestors, and your progenitors for all eternity are severed."

c8757e22_Ministers__Massachusetts__1837__Brethren_and_Friends_	[s] 3 [Brethren and Friends,]	All that we would say at present with regard to these subjects, is this: They should not be forced on any church as matters for debate, at the hazard of alienation and division.

c8757e22_Ministers__Massachusetts__1837__Brethren_and_Friends_	[s] 4.1 [Brethren and Friends,]	Once it would have seemed strange even to hint that members of churches could wish to force a subject for debate upon their Pastor and their brethren of the same church.

c8757e22_Ministers__Massachusetts__1837__Brethren_and_Friends_	[s] 4.2 [Brethren and Friends,]	But we are compelled to mourn over the loss, in a degree, of that deference to the pastoral office, which no minister would arrogate, but which is at once a mark of christian urbanity, and a uniform attendant of the full influence of religion upon individual character.

[The Latter-day Saint] During a stake disciplinary council, there are 16 men. The stake presidency and a clerk are present, in addition to 12 high councilors. Six of the high councilors are assigned to defense and the other six are assigned to present evidence. The Bishop is not part of the council. The only reason that the Bishop would be allowed to be there would be as a witness. He would not be speaking or participating in the running of the proceedings. The "sister wife" would only be allowed to be there if she were a witness. Typically, the witnesses would wait outside until they are called. They would not be allowed to take notes. [The Big Love"Mormon"]

A woman and one of her "sister wives" are sitting in a room. The Bishop and Stake President are sitting alone at the head of the table. There are six other men in the room (eight men total), and the two women.

Woman: No. SP: Let me ask you again, are you taping this hearing. Woman: No, I am not. SP: Nothing in your purse? On your phone? Would you mind if we removed your bag from the room? Following this exchange, both of the women's purses are then taken out of the room.

[The Latter-day Saint] The question about wearing garments is standard in any temple recommend interview. If the woman were actually LDS, she wouldn't even be surprised by the question. Perhaps the answer that the woman gives to this question is how Latter-day Saints ought to respond when they are accused by critics of wearing "magic underwear." It is ironic that this response was given. [The Big Love"Mormon"]

This exchange occurs between the woman and the Stake President: SP: Are you still upholding your temple covenants? Woman: Yes, but my interpretation might conflict with yours. SP: Well, for example, are you wearing your garments? Woman: President Davis, are you asking me to tell you what kind of underwear I have on?

[The Latter-day Saint] It is highly unlikely that any real LDS Stake President would consider a past practice of the Church that we consider to have been sanctioned by the Lord Himself as a "misguided abomination." Nor would it be regarded as a "shameful practice." The only somewhat accurate part of this statement is that is has no place in the modern Church. [The Big Love"Mormon"]

The Stake President says: "You know that polygamy is a misguided abomination. It's a shameful practice that has no place in the modern Church."

[The Latter-day Saint] This exchange is actually an allusion to what happened with the so-called "September Six." Church critics charge that the excommunication of what the media referred to as "LDS scholars" was in reality ordered by President Boyd K. Packer. [The Big Love"Mormon"]

The following exchange is present simply to advance the plot regarding a mysterious letter which the Church wants. The woman asks the Stake President if "this hearing [was] requested directly from Church headquarters" and if he "receive[d] instruction." The Stake President acts guilty and responds that he doesn't see "how that's relevant" to the proceeding. The woman then claims that she is being punished because of a "certain letter" that her husband helped to purchase for the Church which is claimed to expose that the Church never intended to cease the practice of polygamy. The existence of the letter has been a plot device throughout the entire third season.

5cfaf4f7_e__and_the_temple___FairMormon__The_Big_Love_Mormon_

[The Latter-day Saint] This is another allusion to the critics' assertion that the Church disciplines scholars and attempts to hide the truth. The phrase from Elder Packer was taken from a talk called "The Mantle is Far, Far Greater than the Intellect." The phrase "some thing that are true are not very useful" is a favorite of critics of the Church. It is used by them to support the idea that the Church excommunicates intellectuals and historians. See: Boyd K. Packer on the truth [The Big Love"Mormon"]

The Stake President then actually mentions President Packer by name: "...as our Elder Packer has said before, we all know that there's the temptation to tell everything, whether its worthy, or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful."

[The Latter-day Saint] This is the third time that the Bishop, who is not allowed on the council, has talked of repentance. It seems implied that repentance is simply a matter of admitting that you are wrong. In reality, it is much more complex than that. [The Big Love"Mormon"]

The Bishop provides yet another appeal to repentance: "...we sincerely want to help you escape this life. Don't turn against us. Will you repent?" The Bishop also implies that if the disciplinary council follows through, that her "eternal salvation" will be lost.

[The Latter-day Saint] This formal statement appears to have been added as a bit of Hollywood drama. "Ancestors" and "progenitors" (literally 'those who were born before you') are the same thing—the expression is redundant. [The Big Love"Mormon"]

The Stake President portentously declares: "...henceforth your name shall be removed from the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You will not be allowed to partake of the sacrament. The sacred ordinances that bind you to your family, your ancestors, and your progenitors for all eternity are severed."

But when she assumes the place and tone of a man as a public reformer, our care and protection of her seem unnecessary, we put ourselves in self defence against her, she yields the power which God has given her for protection, and her character becomes unnatural.
