PROVO, Utah -- Paul Callister sees orbs everywhere.
It wasn't always this way, however. And unless you want to start seeing orbs everywhere as well, I recommend that you stop reading this article now.

In fact, Callister said that Joseph's use of an orb, a seer stone, is an undeniable sign of the truth of the Book of Mormon.

It is hard to know where to start.
This is an OPEN thread.

Interesting, as it looks to be more symbolism than anything.

Two seemingly unrelated stories on orbs that were posted within two hours of each other. Weird!

Interesting article. The ‘orb’ as a sign of power.
Obama uses an orb. Maybe on his BC it says he’s Mormon.

That could be true without this statement: Callister said that Joseph's use of an orb, a seer stone, is an undeniable sign of the truth of the Book of Mormon.

It goes beyond orbs. Many other things (like books) are used this way. I’d say what it SHOWS is that people in power who have paintings made of them, are represented by the artist as having power by putting something representing power in their hands. Whether they be the Pope or a Mormon Priest, the symbolism works the same.
