why me wrote:thews wrote:Emma acting as a scribe. She became a physical witness of the plates, reporting that she felt them through a cloth, traced the pages through the cloth with her fingers, heard the metallic sound they made as she moved them, and felt their weight. She later wrote in an interview with her son, Joseph Smith III: "In writing for your father I frequently wrote day after day, often sitting at the table close by him, he sitting with his face buried in his hat, with the stone in it, and dictating hour after hour with nothing between us."[4]
Most of these accounts were said years and years later. But physically, it would not be possible to have a head buried in a hat, seeing words, breathing, speaking without a headache or muffled voice or a back ache. See my point? Try it for an hour or so, and see what happens.
As you continue to contradict yourself by using the conclusions
you've come up with regarding how hard it would be to translate using head-in-hat, it is exactly what Emma stated, which includes
seer stones. It's exactly what Whitmer and Harris stated, which also specify
seer stones. When these accounts were written down is moot, as these sources are not "anti-Mormon" as bcspace asserts.
The use of "Urim and Thummim" is an outright lie, as the conflated use of these words to describe Joseph Smith's
seer stones is an intentional ruse to mask the fact that the Book of Mormon was translated using
occult objects Joseph Smith already owned before the Book of Mormon. If you find this faith promoting it hardly surprises me, but it's blatantly obvious to anyone with knowledge of the subject how the LDS church attempts to hide these truths from its members.
The end result of all these facts, is the translation method, as depicted by the LDS church, is incorrect... a lie. The knee-jerk conditioned response from bcspace to use "anti-Mormon" to describe these
truths is actually accurate, as the
truth doesn't support the lies the LDS church is guilty of, which would make telling these
truths opposing, or "anti" to TBM's.
Your house of cards is crumbling whyme, as your straw man needs to throw Emma, Whitmer and Harris under the bus to support the "finger on book" translation method.
