Jeffrey R Holland’s BBC Interview – Transcript and Video Clips

As a result of a believing Mormon potentially leading the United States, there was increased scrutiny of the Mormon church.

Holland is caught in lies during the interview and resorts to claiming he’s neither an idiot or a dodo.

Joseph Smith and “The” “First” “Vision”
