No.

Among the objects found at the *x* are treasures such as the Rosetta Stone, which provided the means for decoding Egyptian hieroglyphs;

Let me try to help you out here, Ludwig. There are a lot of people here who are technically still members of the LDS Church, are active but non-believing members of the LDS Church, or do not want their internet activities monitored by nosey employers or prospective employers. All of the people in these categories are concerned about their privacy.

LDS people who post here think that this anonymous posting is dishonorable, because they somehow believe that anyone who has an opinion must compromise their privacy in order to offer their opinion with integrity.

Those who post anonymously, on the other hand, understand that privacy, once lost, is not easily regained, and that sacrificing it simply to prove a point on a discussion board is a stupid and juvenile thing to do. Still, LDS apologists like baiting their opponents into doing this. It may be that these apologists are hoping that the watchful eyes of the LDS Church will catch these critics and see that they meet with Church discipline. It is the case, after all, that the LDS Church monitors internet activity and tries to keep tabs on its members in a number of different ways.

Some would say that the LDS Church is the last organization to have the moral right to expect straight dealing from others.

I checked on Mr C. on at calbar.org and then put his name in google. He has argued some appeals cases. I think I had to pay to see the cases so I didn't go any further. I wonder if he won or lost them. I think it's public record so he shouldn't pick on people or they can throw his cases back into his face.

All I remember is the possibility that they were monitoring their members on the Internet...........when did that change to accepted fact? Evidence?

I have seen there the Rosetta Stone, which provided the means for decoding Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Who did see anywhere the Seer Stone, which supposedly provided the means for decoding Egyptian hieroglyphs?
Who did see anywhere the Urim & Thummim which did the same?
And who does know, what is the Urim & Thummim at all?
And what is the meaning of "is" ? (by Billy Clinton)

So much about British Museum.
