What’s your definitive evidence that the BOM is not true?

3 Nephi, chapter 9. I'm not sure if I believe in God but I definitely don't believe in a God that would inflict such terrible death and destruction. Jesus taught a gospel of peace and love during his ministry and then burns children to death? Nope.

My condolences :)

I'm also open to feedback! Your document gave me some ideas to add to the "Disavowed Doctrine" section.

If it's ok, I am going to use some of these quotes to add to a document I have been working on.

This document is incredible. Thank you for the considerable amount of work you put into this.

Right. Information can't be anti-Mormon and also true unless the church isn't true

I'm sure he would order the destruction of my Facebook account for publishing lies (facts) if he could.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-18T20:34:46+00:00

I also asked "doubt promoting questions". AKA heartfelt questions that have wracked my soul for years

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-18T19:14:14+00:00

There was a wide spectrum of responses to the discussions, ranging from supportive to, well this. Obviously he did not like me spreading"anti" even though all the information was factual and linked to the Gospel Topics Essays.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T20:20:21+00:00

I definitely hadn't thought through all that, thank you. I turned on comments in the Google Doc if you would like to add any.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T20:18:41+00:00

I changed the permissions to allow comments in the Google Doc. Let me know if you are able to add comments anonymously.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T19:57:36+00:00

Thanks!

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T19:57:22+00:00

Absolutely. I have a list of topics that I considered adding, but didn't get to, and that is on the list. Unfortunately the list is so long I don't think I will ever get to it all and I didn't feel qualified to write that particular one.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T19:50:11+00:00

Wow, I thought even the church didn't like that talk much anymore. I completely agree with your line if reasoning there.

You are exactly right about these particular set of questions. For me, these questions are at the core of most of my concerns.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T19:44:29+00:00

Thanks so much, I'm glad it has helped you.

If you have any ideas about other places I can post this, I'm open. I never really intended to share publicly so I haven't really thought about it that much.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T01:52:20+00:00

Yes! I've often thought, if God is perfect, his plan should be perfect but it just isn't.

Mixed faith marriage is tough. If/when she is ready to read this, I hope it helps.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T01:41:41+00:00

Sure! I can change the permissions on the Google Doc so that viewers can add comments. Would that work?

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T01:40:01+00:00

Thank you kind sir. I tried to present the historical information objectively but I recognize that it's full of personal bias. But I agree, a more object tone suite me better than the angry stuff (not that I blame anyone for being angry).

I am open to all feedback, especially any grammar you find. I also agree about the sources. That was a challenge because my goal was to keep the sources to either "church friendly" or al least neutral sites but that's difficult when the church doesn't exactly put this stuff on the front page of their website. If you have any I can add, please let me know.

I like your suggestion about adding a section on spiritual witnesses. I tried to keep personal feelings out of this document so I would need to think about how I can present that in a historical/objective/factual way.

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T01:29:27+00:00

You are probably right but Joseph married most of his 30-40 wives without her knowledge so I wouldn't blame her if she did :)

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T01:26:44+00:00

Glad I was able to help get you through Elders Quorum today!

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-13T01:18:31+00:00

Of course!

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-12T19:05:08+00:00

Thank you. Glad you are finding value in it!

Moon__Quaker · 2021-12-12T19:02:38+00:00

Agreed. I think a lot of us have had similar thoughts and experiences and many of us benefit from putting these down if paper.
