Every anti Mormon and NOM who comes to me with their sneaky questions usually gets trapped by their own words and surprised that I can often identify the precise website they are looking at. I love to play the innocent "chapel Mormon" (a creature that exists only in the minds of antis and...

*Begin to teach that the Jaredites were black (i.e. because they did not mention priesthood, and the Jaredites were descendants of Cain according to the Book of Ether...yes, its there). Again, the Brethren rejected this, because they were raised to believe that God would have NEVER communicated to ...

Is this woman still alive? Has she seen the Race and Priesthood Statement? I'd LOVE to see her reaction when somebody read it to her. Before I joined the Church, I was 16 and asked about it. My Mormon friend across the street asked his mother about it and she answered both of us, and I remember it ...

Follow the money. Mormonism is about money and I bet he was going to take a big financial hit if he didn't start playing the game again. That's what I originally thought, but the more I think about it, I believe it has little to do with that. I really believe he feels a sense of duty to the LGBT co...

A lot of these "missionary blogs" actually are letters (or email messages) home which someone in the family then publishes in blog format. A friend of mine did that with her son's mission emails. She posted them as they came, even though they often had specific comments to family members ...

I'd be interested in a big data analysis showing how mch of the Book of Mormon is a straight lift out of the KJV of the Bible.

I think moksha may be wondering (I am, anyway) what algorithm they used to determine that. Yes, am also interested. I would guess they're able to process 100s of books and count the frequency of an ABCCBA in a given restricted range. As I said in my previous post, I'm interested to know whether the...

Surf's Up.....Video upload http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAGasQ7j_ZI& Thanks Hi, new here. I post elsewhere under this username (NOM/staylds). I suppose I'm a 'middle-way' type Mormon. I am impressed by the research and enjoyed watching the video, but felt the presentation could have been tigh...

Cdowis at MDDB just conceded defeat on the Hebraisms: There are also multiple examples of "Hebraisms" in The Late War which have been long used as evidence for the Book of Mormon's tight translation of an ancient Hebrew book (written in reformed Egyptian). I'd say many of those evidences h...
