Please view the video above this post entitled "Mormons in America: Meet the Jacksons." There is an advertisement that comes on first, but it is short.
I wanted to write a post hoping as many of the readers of my blog will get this and pass this along and spread the word really quickly Tonight, August 23rd, there is a documentary that is on Mormons in America, and part of it was filmed in my ward a little over a month ago. The focus was on a wonderful family that lives in our ward, and they are such a fabulous example of what a Mormon family should be, how to live and what they do in teaching their children, their beliefs and church.
This was actually filmed, with permission of the first presidency, in my ward, with my husband as our bishop. This was a first, and it was spontaneous and such a wonderful and amazing 3 hour meeting block. It was filmed on a Fast Sunday and you would have thought that the testimonies born were prepared, because they were spot on, and so inspired, but nobody knew that NBC would be there filming our meeting. We don't know what NBC will include because the focus was on this particular family, but they filmed Brother Jackson teaching Sunday School that day. The cameras went into the Young Women and Young Mens with the Jackson children who are such amazing examples of good LDS Youth. After Church NBC spent the rest of the day with the Jackson Family filming everything they do in their everyday life, and I cannot think of a better family to represent our Church as the Jacksons!
I have hopes that all of you will watch this, and we pray the the editing that was done by NBC will be a very good example of our Church, that nonmembers who watch, will understand us better.
I urge you to pass this on to others. The details are that it will air on NBC tonight... 10 pm/9c on NBC. So you will have to determine your time zone to watch it. They have done other great Mormons in America on Anne Romney and of the Bishops storehous, etc., that you might be interested in.
Thanks & enjoy, Katie G.
I was disappointed by the negative slant that was put on the segment of Mormons in America by msnbc. If you are going to do a show on what Mormons are really like, then use the film on the devout LDS Family, who daily live their religion, instead of those who have chosen to leave the church for whatever reason. The Jackson family did a marvelous in what little they were focused on. They are truly Christian, and are to be commended!
