I'd agree Jack Welch is not a serious man. Neither was Bill Hamblin nor is DCP. But if you're promoting the Heartland Model you're goofier still.
Yep. It’s like coming to an Egyptology forum to say that Aliens didn’t build the pyramids, it was actually Bigfoot.

Mr Hills is just trashing one bad conspiracy theory to promote his own equally stupid one.

Since you don't believe Joseph Smith nor Oliver Cowdery when it comes to Book of Mormon Heartland geography, just like Jack Welch, Bill Hamblin nor DCP, then you're as goofy as they are. You ain't very bright, are you.

My brother and his wife some years ago paid a not insubstantial sum of money for an Ocean View cabin on a Book of Mormon cruise that Bountiful Travel promised would include "some of the most amazing ruins that can be seen from a cruise itinerary" that would "help bring the scriptures to life." They were greatly moved.

Now I see that on their coffee table they've replaced their cherished copy of S. Michael Wilcox's Land of Promise: Images of Book of Mormon Lands with a signed copy of Exploring Book of Mormon in America's Heartland Photobook.

The head spins.

Jack Welch Discovered Chiasmus - But Can't Locate the Hill Cumorah

You have to wonder about someone who brags about himself on the World Wide Web.
…said a bloke bragging about himself on the World Wide Web.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Smith stated that Cumorah means “Arise, O Light.” He explained the Hebrew verb qūm, “arise/rise (up),” along with the Hebrew noun ʾôr, or the feminine form ʾôrah, meaning “light, flame, fire,” together yield the meaning, “rise up, (O) light.”

What’s obvious to Mormon scholars, and that you’re missing completely, is that the word Cumorah is synonymous with ‘repository’, or ‘place where light and knowledge can rise again’. In other words, Mormon designated the places where he stored knowledge as a Repository Hill, or Hill Cumorah. There were many repository hills, not just one, where records of the ancients were buried so that some day light and knowledge would rise up again - cumorah hills.

Make peace with your brothers in Christ. Love them, lift them up, and speak no more evils of the body of Christ. Amen.

Pele Ale Cumorah: "Hear the words of my Repository!" The Eloi needed to hear these important words to rebuild their civilization after the time traveler destroyed the Morlocks.

Lock = Fallout shelter dwellers
