Well none have been on Larry King to tell us about the encounter...
Hey !!! Why havent the 3 NeeHigh childrfen been on Larry King ????
They could do the Talk Showe circuit ...
Plus...have they been paying their 10% tithe all these 2,000 years ???
Oh yeah ??? To whom ??? To where ???
I thought some wag had posted that junk until he started abusing the locals...
To trust in previous ignorant rants and simply renew them is on the same order as those who rant about the Arizona Immigration law without having read it.
What is it with Mormons trying to pull the “you are just like liberals” malarkey.

Well one things for sure...
The post was written by a liberal...
To post ignorant comments about 3 2,000 men who are still alive and demand that we swallow such fantasies is on the same order as Obama lying to us about the contents of the health care bill while demanding we accept it without having read it.
Have been working my way through the History of Susquehanna County by Emily Blackman. Much there re:Smith’s diggings. Too my knowledge the Spanish silver mine was never located.
However, much of that County is located in the Marcellus Shale. Natural gas aplenty. Many land owners now leasing/selling land for gas exploration. $$$.
"Many" does not mean all.
I am finding interesting today the similar rant: you are a liberal (or some other similar phrase) if you don’t believe the BoM, why are you supporting people like Bakker, there is still never repose to quoting of lds words/videos/direct links. etc. Attack the poster with bogus charges. tsk
Oh, well another day, and the sun is shinning.
The Mormons I know would deny Brigham Young's involvement in the Mountain Meadows Massacre if Brigham Young himself came back to life and confessed.
Actually that is not a topic which we discuss much because I don't think there is any definitive evidence to prove Brigham Young's involvement or approval. I find it difficult to believe that given the iron rule Brigham Young exercised that something this big would have occurred without his knowledge and approval. Besides, it became apparent quickly that my Mormon friends wouldn't accept ANY evidence which implicated Brigham Young.
Hey Reaganaut/CC ... blood sacrifice went out when the Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 BC ... the Torah says that sacrifices are only allowed where G-d wants them, not just anywhere, and the Temple is the last place allowed...obviously, that’s why so many Orthodox Jews want to have the Temple rebuilt...magritte
This reminds me how today that thoes living today need to also make restitution to those blacks that were mistreated by their white ancestors over 200 years ago.

Yeah what do the mormons plan to do about their long history of racism ???
Briggy Young took black slaves to Utah with him...
Those mormons living today need to also make restitution to those blacks that were mistreated by the white mormon for over 180 years
WHOA! KoolAid Alert!
“The Book of Mormon describes advanced civilizations, and the ones in Mesoamerica correspond in dating to those described in the Book of Mormon.”
How about this...
Since there is no evidence in America for the mormonic verses, let’s shift the playing field to other countries! If you start with the premise that the mormonic verses are true, the only thing missing is anther country that may support what they say.
There is nothing in Mesoamerica that supports the mormonic verses. To say so uses the same eisogesis mormons apply to the Bible, but applied to archeology.
Why don’t you save time and go find some DNA from Mesoamerica and show us that the civilization was Jewish.
Otherwise, it’s all looking at clouds and telling us you see a bunny.
We know it’s a cloud, despite what you claim to see.

“Those who hate the Book of Mormon should at least read it, if for no other reason than to find exactly what, if anything, is wrong with it.”
That is a weak argument. I’ve also not read thousands of other false documents. To know the truth, you need only study what is true. Falsehood, like the mormonic verses, is evident when you know what is true.
It contradicts the Gospel of the Biblical Christ.
But hey, AMPU...
They found the 3 Nephite bunnies...ah men...
Those 2,000 year old ones...
Thats got to count for something...
They ‘hefted’ a box covered in cloth. They ‘saw’ with their ‘spiritual eyes’.
They never recanted THAT part. But most of them DID recant and say that Smith was either a ‘fallen prophet’ or not a prophet at all.
Finally, Richard LLoyd Anderson’s 1981 book Investigating the Book of Mormon Witnesses is typical LDS faith promoting history and not considered a serious scholarly work.
Come back and play when you have REAL scholarship to show me.
BTW, I have read the BoM cover to cover at least 15 times (more than most LDS I know).
What is wrong with it is it is a fanciful story (with WAAAAYYY to many ‘and it came to pass’es) that tries to pass itself off as a companion to the Bible and will lead many to Hell.
Let see, that makes me 2 for 2.
Next subject?
BTW, Godzilla has shown he knows more about Mormonism and has studied it in greater depth than most LDS.
But keep trying, you ARE entertaining.
This reminds me how today that thoes living today need to also make restitution to those blacks that were mistreated by their white ancestors over 200 years ago.

No, what the need to apologize for is LYING about the LDS church’s (and leadership’s) role in the MMM, rather than just ‘passing the buck’.
Christians ‘fess up’ to the junk in their church history all the time, the LDS just whitewash it.
WHY do you need a hairbrush, you don’t have any HAIR??
Oh Snap!
I think that deserves a t-shirt.
Good point, that.
I am hoping he does. (VERY VERY big grin).
You mean there have been no Archaeologist who have had encounters with immortal Nephites?
- - -
No, but I do know some archeologists who did LSD in the 1960’s. Does that count?
