Another interesting thing about the head in a hat creation of the Book of Mormon is that witness statements only represent a fraction of the supposed translation. Joseph and Oliver had many years to make statements about it but stayed very quiet on any details of what was going on in the supposed translation. Also what little statements from others about seeing a scribe write down what Joseph was saying while his head was in a hat have no way to know if those words ever made it into the Book of Mormon that we have today. The creation of the Book of Mormon, including the many changes made in preparation for printing, were controlled by Joseph and Oliver.
This is a common line of reasoning, and it’s very silly.
Oliver Cowdrey disaffected and disassociated from the church. If he was in on it, he’d expose for the fraud it was, but he never did.
You literally don’t know that. We don’t have statements on record to that effect, and so you have no idea what he said and to whom. We also have a very wealthy church willing to buy documents they believe are embarrassing or hurtful to its image, so we have no idea what’s been bought, what’s been destroyed (Joseph F. Smith, ftw on that one), what’s been lost, or what’s never been shared. That statement, that OC or whomever, nEvEr rEcAnTeD doesn’t acknowledge that
they left in the first place. That’s hugely problematic because you’re trying to tell me that a dude that was set apart by this guy
just bumped and was like, “I’m out.”
What’s more likely? A guy who had angel hands on his dome goes into apostasy, or the story was bunk, regardless if you have a statement of disbelief or not? Don’t answer this, because you’re a fool and a troll, so whatever you fart out is pointless.
