Re: CFM - If I could ask them one question this week . . .

Over 100 lbs and not even a decent backpack to load it in. That would take a miracle to move all that over even terrain, let alone rivers, mountains, and jungle. Like Hagoth said, tapir. Or, since even the Church doesn’t seem to follow Dr. Dan Peterson, et. al., down that trail, a horse. This annot...

Re: CFM - If I could ask them one question this week . . .

One immediate problem is that the plates, as described by Joseph, would not even come close to fitting in Hyrum's writing box, where Joseph claims to have kept them locked up. Even the Church History Museum couldn't find a way to disguise the problem with the actual box, which they have on display:...

Re: CFM - If I could ask them one question this week . . .

I would add that Martin Harris who is respected as a witness also went on a strangite mission later. If he was credible concerning his original witness, why would we discount his credibility later following strang? Perhaps because he returned to the Brighamite fold at the end. Good point! And, I wo...

Re: CFM - If I could ask them one question this week . . .

Is LD$-Inc. really using "CFM" as an initialism to represent Come Follow Me??? :shock: I really don’t see what the big deal is with cubic feet per minute. In all seriousness though, I’m naive enough (or boomer enough?) that I had no idea of the other abbreviation you’re referring to. Click bait and...

CFM - If I could ask them one question this week . . .

This is the first week of the Book of Mormon Come Follow Me Lessons. For those still attending these classes or sitting with family discussing this, I want to offer the one question I might ask to generate thought and to get a better understanding of what believers think about things. My one questio...

Re: A possible source of Joseph Smith's ideas?

I could be wrong, but I think Dan Carlin did an episode on this in his Hard Core History podcast - Prophets of Doom if I recall. Very fascinating history and fascinating parallels with Mormonism. Also shows how crazy religion can be and the damage it can do. Rather than a possible source, maybe thi...

Re: Just in time to study for the first Book of Mormon Sunday School class of the new year!

This is amazing and quite a magnum opus. Thank you for the reference to New Order Mormon in your list of URLs. First of all thank you for your kind words! No need to thank me for referencing NOM. I used to post on NOM in the old days before this site (was it newordermormon. org ?). Then I made my w...

Re: Weirdness of the LDS faithful

You don't want to go down the evangelical road. Crazy music. Electric guitars. Sappy lyrics in their songs. Hands waving and jumping up and down.....mostly crazy money grubbing preachers. HmmMmm.... don't go there..... The real Peter, James and John would look at that and say, "What the heck happen...

Re: Help! My Annotated Book of Mormon Could Use Proofreading Before Publishing

People might not be up for committing to proofread the entire book. Maybe you could have a beta release where a subset of the target audience could read and comment with less commitment, or maybe ask for volunteers to look at smaller multi-chapter chunks? Great point Hagoth! I just edited the origi...

Well, if your in Salt Lake City or Utah County, I'd be willing to bump that up a level to a cup of coffee (or hot coco) and donuts.

PM me if you're interested, let me know if you want the English or the Portuguese version, and let me know how to send it to you. You could proofread only a small portion...
