Gman, it will assist your understanding of our exchanges with Sargon if you understand the difference between Internet Mormons and Chapel Mormons. I found that article very enlightening, and extremely useful. Wow. That was mind-numbingly strange. I would consider myself an extremely active "ch...

But you claim that the things which Howe and Hancock said were untrue. They give reports of what Smith said at the time. They said that Smith said these things. You directly challenge those reports, and insist that he didn't say those things. No I have not. What I have claimed, is that the event di...

Fortigurn, As to the DVD issue, it is not meant to be the subject of this discussion. It covers a vast number of issues that we cannot begin to discuss here. You have your opinion, and as usual you do not think the scholarship is any good. I on the other hand, have a differing opinion. As for the Ze...

Gman, I cannot standby while you distribute false information regarding the history and character of Joseph Smith. You have resorted to the most common of all anti-mormon methods....false "facts" and then creating implications from them. I mean this specifically in respect to the Zelph sto...

While I do not doubt your honesty and integrity zoegirl, I wonder if you read the right manuscripts. The few similarities in the books are interesting, but become quite insignificant when compared to the massive amount of disimilarities. Most people who have taken this challenge have concluded likew...

Gman, I lament your loss. You have been taken in by the false arguments of the authors of your book. They cast the bait, and you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. They have woven an impressive tapestry of so called "evidence", when in fact the materials are all completely unrelated and ...

I dont know what to do about you Gman. I just don't know. You have got your facts so twisted and out or order, that I can't figure out a way to set you straight. The reason most of your attacks fail is because they are not attacking anything real. Your flawed understanding of LDS history and beliefs...

Sargon, does this sound familiar? My brother told me that a young man told him that he had a wonderful dream . He dreamed that he himself (if I recollect right) opened a great mound , where there were human bones. There he found a written history that would answer the inquiry respecting the civiliz...

I never cease to be amused at our miscommincations. You struggle to grasp Latter-Day Saint history and culture. I say one thing, you understand something else. Allow me to humbly correct a few of your mistakes. The Zelph Story: I asked you for references. You did not give them. Either you forgot, or...

I already knew you were going to do this... Discredit the evidence.. That is all you can do and have been doing the entire time... How can anyone prove their point then? This what most Mormons do when faced with the facts.. Oh well, you see that evidence is not good or stable or we have already dis...

I am constrained by time today, but I will quickly let you know, that you are very confused on the facts of what happened. I am no historian, but I know the history of the church a bit better than you, and you just have got some serious blunders in your chronology and events.

Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon when he was about 24 yrs old. At that point in his life, he had only seen a small corner of the NE USA. He had no first-hand knowledge of the many mounds that scattered the country. At best, he could have known only of the general myths about the mound-buil...

You guys make me chuckle. You really think you have got this whole thing figured out don't you? Oh those poor stupid mormon folk, how could they be so blind??!! First of all, allow me to remind you of what you are trying to prove. It seems you have forgotten. You are trying to prove that Joseph Smit...

I dont really have time to give a lengthy reply to your absurd claims today. I will be out of town for all of next week, so this discussion will have to be postponed. However I will make a few remarks. This all can be summarized easily. Mysterious mounds existed across the north eastern US. People w...
