It’s time for the TWiM rage regarding the “Mormons are a cult” nonsense that’s been going around for the past week. We’re fed up. Why is it OK to hate on Mormons but not on other groups? It’s high time we stopped putting up with it. We at This Week in Mormons stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Latter-day Saints. Enough is enough.
Is NCMO abuse? Some lady says yes. We say no. Is this a battle of the sexes? No. Because we’ll win.
Brandon Flowers’ officially embraces being Mormon in a new “I’m a Mormon” video.
Others: Homeschooling. The Whitney Awards (yippee). And a terrible video done by BYU-I girls who have nothing better to do on a Friday night.

Okay, so this is outdated now, but I only come listen to the podcast every few weeks when I think about it. But thought you might find this article interesting (if you haven't seen it already)–about Brandon Flowers and the overall inclusive nature of the "I'm a Mormon" campaign.

I especially liked this quote:
"But by allowing individuals to claim the identity of Mormons for themselves, and tell their own stories, the campaign could, one imagines, actually begin to alter ideas within the church about what it means to be Mormon."

Also, I just noticed all your great ncmo-related tags on this post. Haha, thanks for the laugh.
