Asked of God and began reading the BofM, and the result has been rejected by Mormonism Apologists at FR. And mine is not the only negative answer that the Apologists have rejected. If it doesn’t fit the hive template it is not of the hive don’tchaknow.
I didn’t understand your reply.
Not all are given the same answer. I know others who have read the Book of Mormon and did not accept it. Often, there were outside influences that had more to do with it.

Actually, I believe I am at least one of those you are "Not" talking about here, and I asked a few questions which you declined to answer.
IIRC, you started reading the BOM for one day, and met a Bible study teacher who prayed for you and you then felt guilty reading it so you stopped.
Also IIRC, your best friend (at the time) was the one who asked you to read it, and I asked if you had talked to him about feeling guilty, you did not answer. I further asked if you had prayed about it, or just had this Guilty feeling. Again you declined to answer.
If you are going to hold this up as a negative response then those of us who have had positive responses, are going to ask a few questions just to see if you actually met the criteria for an answer or not. from your original story, you didn't read enough of the Book of Mormon to know much if anything about it.
Sadly, you will now say I am denying your "Testimony" which I am not, I just want to understand it, and you will not answer the simplest question, questions that I have been asked and answered many times on FR about
my testimony.
JFTR, the promise in the BOM is:
Moroni 10:3-5 3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
I have asked the least intrusive questions I can in the most respectful way that I can, and yet I get no answer, what would you think if the situation were reversed?
