Who here believes Joe?

Still waiting for the "prophets, seers, and revelators" to cough up the truth about the Book of Mormon geography.

Why won't they just do it? Is Heavenly Father testing us?

In the scientific age, seems counter-productive. After all, isn't Heavenly Father a master scientist?

Then I realized Bill4long is referring to the church as that body of all Mormons who share taste. Yes I can see the church approving of the Carpenters. I would not hold that against the Carpenters.

Yes, yes, you have it right. I would never besmirch the Carpenters.

Yeah the white Jesus just doesn't exist ya know... The Real Jesus ™, if he existed, surely didn't look like a handsome American/European movie star or politician. I suspect a lot of the feelings toward "Jesus" is based on superficial nonsense like that. Esp among the wimmen folk. "he had no form or...
