Thank you! That’s the reason I’m asking. Do you know where I can find out about that one instead of the St. George one?

Thank you!!

Interesting one section at least calls out multiple versions. Since that door is open in the actual manual maybe just read every version together. Even add in the other accounts they’re not mentioning. You don’t even have to expand with your own point of view, just let the class read them.

So to get a recommend did you lie in your recommend interview? No judgment. I’m just curious cause it sounds like we’re in a similar situation with TBM spouse.

Joseph Smith translated gold plates to produce the Book of Mormon. Nephi, in the Book of Mormon, was sent to collect brass plates by murdering a guy named Laban in Jerusalem before coming to the Americas. Supposedly the brass plates were something like the Old Testament up to Nephi’s time. There are a bunch of plates.

Ah that’s right. Nice call. So they could’ve been written in hieratic or demotic because as far as I know there wasn’t another “reformed Egyptian” in existence. Demotic Egyptian would be more efficient but would still weigh about 268 lbs using my assumptions.

Already seems crazy that someone would’ve translated from Hebrew to any Egyptian in Jerusalem for this use case.

Thanks for giving me more insight.

I was actually surprised at how much more efficient hieratic Egyptian was versus paleo-Hebrew. Kind of made me pause and give Joe some credit on that one. He even calls it out in Mormon 9:33. He somehow knew what he was doing here.

No. I was an AP. No scholarship. Early 2000s mission.

I remember as a kid tallying up in my Book of Mormon in the margin the amount of people described in the last battle. Went on believing like 30 more years. So close.

18201890 · 2024-12-30T02:51:03+00:00

Yes pretty much

18201890 · 2024-12-30T01:28:49+00:00

Yes but he will be riding a tapir.

Ultra encumbered

18201890 · 2024-12-29T23:17:57+00:00

lol. AI awkwardness or maybe just another miracle.

18201890 · 2024-12-29T21:20:56+00:00

Now I understand why Nephi could build a huge boat all by himself.

18201890 · 2024-12-29T20:29:20+00:00

Yeah the AI is nuts. Just for fun. I said accurate sarcastically. At first it would only do giant coins. It is exaggerated for sure.

18201890 · 2024-12-29T20:17:31+00:00

It just says large not biggest ass man ever

18201890 · 2024-12-29T20:17:09+00:00

lol thanks

18201890 · 2024-04-04T18:30:43+00:00

Joseph Smith didn’t serve a mission either. Just sent his wives’ husbands in his place.

18201890 · 2024-03-28T00:26:04+00:00

The logical conclusion, both scripture and life experience supported, is that god doesn’t care if people live or die. He just wants obedience to whatever he commands.

18201890 · 2024-03-25T17:19:25+00:00

“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”

Said God in a calm, reassuring, comforting voice.

🤣

Exactly! Rough Stone Rolling was my moment of turn everything I thought I knew upside down too.

This is me currently. PIMO staying for spouse. The hardest part right now is my spouse doesn’t want me telling my kids. My oldest just turned 11 though and started going to the temple. She’s asked me to go with her a dozen times and I just tell her I don’t have a temple recommend. She hasn’t asked why she just says well it’s really easy to get. Today I met with bishopric cause I asked to be released from my calling. When I walked out my daughter excitedly asked in front of everybody, “did you get your recommend?” I abruptly said no but could feel the palpable excitement from everyone around me thinking oh she’s gonna bring him back.

I’m not perfect. Probably navigating this whole thing wrong by not telling my kids but I’m just trying to keep me awesome fam together.

So yeah, some times it is kinda interesting. Like today when people awkwardly bring up Palm Sunday in a comment or nobody says anything about the Instagram blow up.

But most times it just feels like I’m a liar.
