The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints allows, positively requires, Bishops to have one on one interviews with minors, mostly without their parents/guardians being present. Kennard, would have done those interviews for minors within his Ward. How many instances of this need to happen befor...

Oh dear... y'all do not understand the "translation" process. Joseph Smith was a channeler. Take for example the D&C; Joseph Smith is channeling Jesus Christ. The Book of Abraham was obviously not a translation but a channeling of Abraham. Similarly, the Book of Mormon is not a tight n...

Oh, buff my friend, President Kimball was only speaking as a man, not a prophet.

If I recall correctly, there is a group of people (Thomas Jefferson's descendants fr...

Just want to add that the Mormon Stories podcast with Dr. Coe is a MUST LISTEN! ~td~ If you're struggling to fall asleep. Ah just kidding. have at it. Stem, have you listened to these podcasts? I am interested in your opinion if you have. My guess is any LDS believer would have to rethink the Book ...

Dr. Coe gave the impression that Mormon archeologists never discuss Book of Mormon ...

Um, let's be real for a sec. There were no gold plates to transport to Cumorah. There is NO evidence of gold during Book of Mormon times in the Book of Mormon Mesoamerica location. None. Ask any reputable, knowledgeable, and honest apologist and he/she will confirm that there was no gold (in that ti...
