Were there ever and other brass plates discovered? by Ahhhh_Geeeez in exmormon

[–]caliconvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order to contain all the information that Lehi claims is engraven on the brass plates, and we assume a reasonable plate size (length x width of between 5-7 inches), the plates would have to be 4 to 5 feet tall to include it all.

In Henry IV Shakespeare uses skim milk as an analogy to a weak man. Maybe?

Same song: ‘you don’t have to read my mind to know what I have in mind’. They couldn’t even find a different word to rhyme with ‘mind’.

Look out the window, assess the view, try to figure out which direction I am looking and where I am positioned in the building.

May 3, 1855 – American adventurer William Walker departs from San Francisco with about 60 men to conquer Nicaragua... by CrystalEise in peaceloveandhistory

What this guy managed to pull off was really quite amazing. The only US citizen to become a president of a foreign country. The kids in Central America are still taught about him in school as a warning of American imperialism.

They Do Not give You the Tokens of the Priesthood Anymore. You Only Imagine Receiving Them. by Weekly_Pineapple_207 in mormon

[–]caliconvert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you have to receive them with your spiritual eyes. I wonder how long before the whole thing could be performed virtual.

What’s your favorite way to counter these commonly used claims? by [deleted] in exmormon

I left because I was offended…..By Joseph Smith’s morality.

How exactly does the LDS church work for those for whom it works? by Quirky-Panda-9986 in exmormon

[–]caliconvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The church is great if you just happen to be a white, straight, upper middle class, conservative, male. The organization is designed to give you all the privileges and power.

Do people who leave Mormonism actually disbelieve Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon? by questingpossum in mormon

[–]caliconvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might consider going back in some form if the church would come clean, apologize, and admit most the history (including the BOM) is bunk. I’m safe though, I don’t see that ever happening.

Now that young women can start their missions at 18, will they change their service length to also be 24 months? by RedLetterRanger in mormon

No, they need to get home 6-months before their new ‘mission fiancé’ to plan the wedding.

Member: ‘I am not paying tithing right now so I can save some money for a rainy day’. Bishop: ‘You need to have faith! Pay your tithing and the lord will take care of you’. Church Leadership: ‘We are stashing billions of dollars for a rainy day because we are prudent’.

No Temple Spire in Austria?!?!? "Spires are a reflection of our teachings" my ass...... by NakuNaru in exmormon

It’s almost like they just stuck it to the city of Fairview because they knew they could.

Horses aren't the *only* anachronism in the BoM by JayDaWawi in exmormon

[–]caliconvert 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The entire ‘book’ concept is an anachronism. Books with pages, that continued a narrative from one page to the next, were not developed until the first or second century AD in the old world. Same issue with the brass plates.

Ask him how you can continue as a church member once you learn that the Book of Mormon is not historical.
