Having read bushman, I knew that emma saw him with his head in a hat. My point was: the artist took his inspiration from what Cowdery said. I also pointed out that we know very little about the translation process. And that Martin Harris had a different experience with the curtain separating him from smith. So, I have no idea what you are refering to.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

Look around a bit before you answer that. One or two Mormon posters are way up on that list.
I don't see very conventional Mormons here at all. If you find one please point him or her out to me.
Your catholic friends on the taliban site constantly belittle other faiths. And because of this, they are not really catholic. Of course, if one hides behind a screen name one can take on such a persona. But they are not catholic in behavior.

You're contradicting yourself. You made the statement there was only one witness to Joseph smith with seer stone in hat, and I know you know of Whitmer's account. You're just a sounding board whyme. Mormons consider anything that actually states the truth as "anti" and you see this truth as insulting. Admit it... you were not telling the truth when you claimed there was only one witness to seer stone in hat. If you care to be intellectually honest, you can also admit there are three accounts for seer stone in hat, and not one of breastplate with diamond glasses.

Did you not read the rest of the comment?
You are most definitely the pot calling the kettle black.
As far as the posters on the other site, maybe you should refresh your memory a little bit, and look at some of the posts from your momo friends like Zerinus, Dianiad, and my personal favorite, Cowboypete. Of course your posts calling people liars don't count now do they?
By the way, how are those "priests" and "nuns" that only you see treating you?

I sing alto in the MDB choir. And I'm very loyal.
Then you know how nice it is to have the entire chromatic scale for your singing pleasure. The choir loses its charm when it can only sing in the key of B sharp.

But you wrote an attack post which addressed nothing of substance to his opening post. It's bad enough that there was already a pile of inappropriate attack posts which you did nothing about but then for good measure you felt it was somehow important that we all read your insult as well. You've always been a [personal attack deleted].

Dianiad is a good case in point. She came to the forum to defend the LDS church against misinformation. But after a couple of thousand posts she was banned. Why? because day after day she had to respond to mocking and bashing against her faith and not matter what she said in her posts to defend the LDS church, she got the same old, same old back. And then, she became a little snarky after a while. Who can blame her? Z. is another case in point. He also came to the board to defend the LDS church and received mocking and bashing.
However, many defenders of the LDS church continue to get band from that site for defending their faith. Now of course, no defender can bring up faults within the catholic church, they will get banned. And no defender can give back what is received...they will also be banned. For some posters their obsession with Mormonism is unhealthy.

No one was called a liar by me. But challenging their understanding of Mormonism doesn't make me calling them liars.
