Sorry - as with corrupting Masonic practices to create temple rituals, Smith also attempted to corrupt the KJV Bible in his strange book called "the Book of Mormon."

Perhaps. But I am curious: Do you know any of this yourself, or are you merely repeating what you have heard? (I ask because you did not seem to know much about the witnesses to the Book of Mormon.) That is, do you have first-hand experience with both the Masonic rites and the LDS temple endowment? And have you studied both the Bible and the Book of Mormon?

One of my hobbies is practicing Catholic apologetics on line. I have the Mormons to thank for this -- as one of my employees is one. He and I have had many discussions on this topic. I've studied many faiths in order to better understand both them and my own.

In addition, I've studied much about the Masons, as there's been a great deal written about Masons versus Catholics and Masons versus Knights (98% of which is untrue).
