The three Nephites...?

Post by _Drifting »

Whatever happened to them?

Do they still attend Church or have they gone inactive now?

Just like Cain - the Bigfoot - they don't talk about them anymore.

But there are plenty of faith promoting rumors about how they help change tires, find keys and rescue lost pets.

I think they were in California holding signs during Prop 8.

Hopefully they'll start posting online. They should be experts at Book of Mormon apologetics.

Wouldn't that mean going over to MST, flashing two thousand years worth of degrees and parroting, "I know the Church is true"?

Really, this is just more embarrassing doctrine that shows that Mormons believe very whacky doctrines not accepted by mainstream Christianity.

They've been reduced to working as rent boys for certain Utah politicians. Times are tough all over. :(

I can hardly wait until someone from the press asks Romney about them.

"So Mitt, do you actually believe that there are three indian guys from the days of Christ wandering the earth today and will continue to do so until the second coming? I mean...really???"

Haaaa haaaa, the media frenzy out searching for the Three Amigos should be quite entertaining.

What could be more wacky than a 3-days dead man rising from the dead?

Isn't one of the original apostles (John?) is supposed to still be wandering around, since he was promised he could stay until the 2nd coming?

And then there's the whole city that was lifted up to heaven, none of the inhabitants having suffered death because they were all so righteous?

Joseph didn't make the 3 Nephites up; he just copied an older book with a few changes so the teacher wouldn't notice.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

A few years back the Cardinals called me and asked if I would fill in for the sick coach at their Single-A team in Kansas. Our first game was an away game in a rundown field surrounded by cornfields and an old dilapidated farmhouse. The devil was working overtime against me that day because only one of the team buses made it to the game due to a storm. It was only by fervent prayer on my part that the bus I was on was spared by the F8 tornado. We arrived at the game with only 6 players, four gloves and a golf ball. Determined to play I led my boys on the field in my old uniform which still fit since I was 20 pound lighter than my playing days. The umpire told me that without 9 players we could not start the game. I said a quick prayer at the end of which three light skinned Indians in full uniforms walked on to the field from out of the corn fields. I don't really remember the game much other than the three new players each hit for the cycle, pitched a perfect game and recorded 9 unassisted triple plays. At the end of the game they merely waved and walked back into the corn where I never saw them again. I want to testify to you the the Three Nephites live and are doing Gods work here on earth. If you are faithful enough or attend a ball game in an old field in Kansas you might see them too.
