It’s not just limited to “trivial” changes, but changes that remove early Trinitarian types of passages from the BOM, or which remove racist text due to political pressure.
For example:
“DOCTRINAL PROBLEMS:
1) Title page: (both versions) 1830: “...by Joseph Smith, jr., author and proprietor”
Today: “translated by Joseph Smith, jr.”
2) First Book of Nephi, p.25 (1830): “Behold, the virgin which thou seest, is the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh.”
Today: 1 Nephi 11:18: “...is the mother of the Son of God.”
3) First Book of Nephi, p.25 (1830):.”...behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Eternal Father!”
Today: 1 Nephi 11:21: “yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father!”
4) First Book of Nephi, p.26 (1830): “And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people; yea, the Everlasting God was judged of the world...” Today: 1 Nephi 11:32: “...yea, the Son of the Everlasting God was judged of the world...”
5) First Book of Nephi, p.32; (1830): “...that the Lamb of God is the Eternal Father and the Saviour of the world.”
Today: “..the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father and the Savior of the world.”
6) Second Book of Nephi, p.37; (1830): “..and the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself not...”
(cf. Is.2:6-9)
Today: 2 Nephi 12:9: “and the mean man boweth not down and the great man humbleth himself not...”
7) Second Book of Nephi, p.117; (1830): “and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and delightsome people.”
Today: 2 Nephi 30:6: “and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and delightsome people.”

Yes, I saw that in the OP. I guess what I’m wondering is if anyone has actually checked to see that these doctrinal changes really did happen. If they did, then I’m with ya. Just because someone (the OP) says to me that the 1830 version said this and the current version now says this doesn’t mean I’m going to believe them right off. Granted, it is easy for me to lean towards believing the OP because I think Mormonism is a farce, but if I’m honest I know I really don’t know that these changes happened.
