The Cassius Review of Books: "Truth Restored"

[_bcspace]

Damn, everything was going so good until you spelled the name of the church wrong. Simon is going to get you for that!

No prob. It's a doctrinal work.

That's how it is spelled in the book. And what is spelled wrong? You mean the Corporation of the President of "the" Church is not capitalized?

The caption says, "Modified Egyptian characters as they appeared on the plates."

Oh. I thought you said "authentic reformed Egyptian". In which case my answer to your question would probably be no. I can see why you want it to be yes though.

Okay, so the "modified Egyptian characters as they appeared on the plates" were NOT authentic reformed Egyptian?

Isn't it in error by not capitalizing the name of the church? Corporation of the President is Ok being capitalized but I would think the name of the church should be too. Since when is the President more important than the Church!!

It should read: Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Darth J,

The book, the church, and Gordy are all wrong. I'm simply stating what is official.

The official LDS website says:

I'm proud of you too Darth J.

[_Paul Osborne]

I'm proud of you too Darth J.

But's it's not official, bcspace. It is not in step with the official declaration of the church. It is in error. But that shouldn't bother you very much. You don't even have a conscience. I don't even consider you to be a real Latter-day Saint.

Oh, Darth J, your commentary was excellent. I read every sentence and enjoyed it.

But's it's not official, bcspace.

Why not?

[_Paul Osborne]

But's it's not official, bcspace.

Why not?

Because the Church has stated otherwise. The official declaration of the Church may be found on their official website, not some stupid little book circulating around about truth being restored.
