Re: Did those pesky 116 pages really matter?

Joseph's reaction to the loss of the 116 pages shows a couple of things in my opinion. 1- Joseph believed that a 'tight' translation was crucial to the veracity of the Book of Mormon. His panic shows he believed if he couldn't reproduce the manuscript exactly, th3e whole project would be ruined. 2- ...

I'll miss Gindael. Was there a funeral or obituary? I don't even know his earthly name.
