Columbia News Service post-interview #2 Mark Henkel - Zehra Mamdani -9- Mar 2008

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was post-interviewed a second time by Zehra Mamdani for Columbia News Service, on March 4, 2008. This is Part 9 of the second post-interview. It follows after an article she had written as a student for the Columbia News Service, from interviews she had conducted with Mark Henkel earlier in January of that year. The article contained many negativities to be corrected. So, the writer agreed to Mark Henkel’s request to conduct an initial post-interview on February 26, 2008. She and Mark Henkel also agreed to have a second post-interview later, which they conducted on March 4, 2008. This episode is the nineth part of that second discussion. In this Part 9 segment, the writer sarcastically asserted, “Ok, what are your other points. Let’s go!” After a calm pause, Mark Henkel began; he proceeded by making a correction to a statement from the writer’s article that claimed that "taking multiple wives is essential for them." Mark Henkel explained that, while it might be so for the couple being mentioned at that part of the article, it is not representative of other Christian Polygamists or of Christian Polygamy in general. "Essential... is not an accurate statement." The writer claimed that someone from another site had said it too (the same person whom she had previously labelled as “Pastor”).  As they had already discussed the issues about that person as a source, Mark Henkel again noted how that person was "utterly uncredible" and that that man's websites had already been ignored by the movement.  Rather than learn from this mistake, though, the writer instead retorted, "Well, you will have to take that up with" (that man, by name). Mark Henkel declared, "I don't understand why you're protecting your elevation of a person who's uncredible. This is hurting you." the remaining parts of the second post-interview will be aired in the next coming episodes of this podcast. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
