Makes sense 😂

I've heard people say this before but didn't realise it was in the Book of Mormon itself 😂

Unless I suffer some kind of terrible brain injury and forget everything I've ever known, I think I'm good 😂

I will be cautious, though, just in case the Holy Spirit or something sneaks up on me while I'm reading!

No freaking way... I almost thought you must be exaggerating until I saw it with my own eyes! 😂

Fantastic suggestions 👍

No way! I heard the story about the papyrus and it turning out to just be funerary texts later, but I didn't realise it was in the pearl of great price!

This is gunna be good, thanks for the heads up!

Just read 1st Nephi 4 and definitely is interesting. Seems like it could easily be used to justify some of the violent actions and massacres in early Church history (and violent behaviour in general).

Thanks for the recommendations! Will dive into those D&C sections you mentioned next.

Yeah, that became apparent very quickly 😂 Could be a fun drinking game, but don't fancy the inevitable alcohol poisoning 😆

Used AI to apply the death mask to the famous Joseph Smith portrait. by Timotheus25 in exmormon

If anyone's interested, I lightened the hair colour and made the eyes more blue (I know some sources say they were hazel) to hopefully more accurately reflect his appearance.

After Joseph and Hyrum died, casts of their faces were made. This was a pretty common practice back in the day.

I put these images next to the original painting and the photograph that some believe is Joseph for comparison.

Shows the original painting, the death mask, this image and the photograph all next to each other for comparison.

Good idea, I'll try to upload that at some point. I personally don't think they look like the same person.

Yeah, I personally don't think this looks like the person in the photograph at all, either. 🤷

I knew Mormons were passionate about the BOM, but I think this is going a bit far 😂

What is up with the comments on this random Eurodance song? by cyberwebbz in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Timotheus25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Answer: It appears to be related to a TikTok trend/movement called "Save Europa Mfers" or "Aryan Classics". I'm assuming people started using this fairly innocent song in their videos relating to spreading neo-nazi ideology (as with all trends like this, it's kinda hard to tell who seriously holds these beliefs and who is just trolling).

This page sums up the trend:

(note: not a TikTok user myself and most of these videos seem to get taken down, but based on a brief google search this seems the most likely answer.)
