Alan--please allow me to print a statement made concerning the above reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Mormon_witnesses

"None of the Eight Witnesses is known to have denied his testimony to the authenticity of Book of Mormon or the golden plates."

So--where does that leave your testimony?

How do you answer to that contradiction?

Anyone?

my question is who wrote or edited that wikipedia account? wikipedia is not considered a scholarly or accurate source of information


After Smith's death, James Strang, claiming to be Smith's chosen successor, also produced buried plates and the testimony of eleven witnesses to their authenticity.

really? where are those plates? why would they need to be buried since moroni took them back to heaven and did not rebury them. sorry but your argument has too many holes in it.

Hi David:

Please do feel free to print any scholarly information which includes any witness denying their testimonies. Until then:

Testimony of Three Witnesses

Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come: That we, through the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is a record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came from the tower of which hath been spoken. And we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings which are upon the plates; and they have been shown unto us by the power of God, and not of man. And we declare with words of soberness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon; and we know that it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we beheld and bear record that these things are true. And it is marvelous in our eyes. Nevertheless, the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear record of it; wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments of God, we bear testimony of these things. And we know that if we are faithful in Christ, we shall rid our garments of the blood of all men, and be found spotless before the judgment-seat of Christ, and shall dwell with him eternally in the heavens. And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen.

Testimony of Eight Witnesses

Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come: That Joseph Smith, Jun., the translator of this work, has shown unto us the plates of which hath been spoken, which have the appearance of gold; and as many of the leaves as the said Smith has translated we did handle with our hands; and we also saw the engravings thereon, all of which has the appearance of ancient work, and of curious workmanship. And this we bear record with words of soberness, that the said Smith has shown unto us, for we have seen and hefted, and know of a surety that the said Smith has got the plates of which we have spoken. And we give our names unto the world, to witness unto the world that which we have seen. And we lie not, God bearing witness of it.

Hi David:

David--this is my OP--you report whatever you want.

Your concern seemed to me to be Wiki was not an accurate source of truth--therefore, I posted the first hand accounts of the witnesses themselves. Not the first testimony has been posted where the witnesses themselves denied anything which is testified to in those first hand accounts, even though the claim has been made the witnesses recanted.

Care to address those concerns?

I have been waiting for those bible verses where Jesus taught people to wear magic underwear, lucifer is his brother, heaven is a planet inhabited by a being who needs help bringing children to earth (not much of a god is he if he needs human help) and other vital mormon ideological ideas. so far you haven't produced one

[dberrie2000]

I have been waiting for those bible verses where Jesus taught people to wear magic underwear,

Where do we find any claim to "magic underwear" by the LDS church?

The LDS believe it is their "wedding garment":

Matthew 22:10-14---King James Version (KJV)
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

[alanmolstad]

in my church we dont have anything like the Mormons and their magic undies.....

The closest I got is my "lucky" tee shirt that I wear doing sparing compe***ions. :)

[alanmolstad]

I will try to find a video on the Mormon magic underwear....I know I found one on YoiuTube a while ago when I GOOGLED "MORMON MAGIC UNDERWEAR"

You still have not posted anything which has the witnesses themselves denying their testimonies.

Care to address the OP?

[alanmolstad]

I have been waiting for those bible verses where Jesus taught people to wear magic underwear,....

About a year or so I found a YouTube video on the Mormon magic undies that was just incredibly funny. :)

But I have been unable to find it tonight..
I will keep looking as i wanted to post it here now that the topic has come up and people might be interested...
But I may post other videos until I find it.

they would be wrong of course as no one wears a wedding garment everyday of their life and under other clothes.

The LDS, who have been through the Temple ceremony--wear their garments night and day--every day. They are ready for the wedding supper:

Matthew 22:10-14---King James Version (KJV)
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

wouldn't they be smelly, unclean and unfit for a wedding ceremony? BUT again (and that response should go in the other thread) there is NO instructions to create a garment to wear every day

[alanmolstad]

well...depends on the girl you are marrying I guess?

Im not sure how Mormon girls are, but some girls are not so picky...(and that explains how long haul tuckers can get married)

Hi David:

Christ didn't believe the garment rendered them unfit, unclean, or smelly--it was the absence of the garment which did not go unnoticed:

Matthew 22:10-14---King James Version (KJV)

BUT again (and that response should go in the other thread) there is NO instructions to create a garment to wear every day

The LDS commitment is a daily one. We don't run to put on our marriage garment when the Bridesgroom appears, as it's too late at that point:

Matthew 25:1-13King James Version (KJV)
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

[alanmolstad]

funny

but as you can see dberrie does not answer questions
In my own opinion, the introduction of undergarments by the Mormon leader was just a natural part of his being a sexual pervert...
He introduced the idea of young girls wearing his designed underclothes as a way to introduce the idea that the girls have to get undressed and so the topic of their underwear and getting undressed is introduced and the result is that this kinda would 'break the ice" with the new girls he wanted to bed.

[dberrie2000]

In my own opinion, the introduction of undergarments by the Mormon leader was just a natural part of his being a sexual pervert...

So--is John Hanes a sexual pervert also? Does that include all those who wear undergarments?(you do don underwear?)

Cite, please. Alan--could you give us the evidence of your speculation?

[alanmolstad]

So--is John Hanes a sexual pervert also? ?

I dont really know?...did he ever send husbands who worked for him out of town, and then when they were gone did he come sniffing around their wives?

If he did, then I think we can agree thats the sign that the guy is a sexual pervert correct?

Since Hanes, along with others-- introduced undergarments--are they also a sexual perverts? Do you wear undergarments? If so--does that implicate you also?

I haven't seen any discussion engaging the above scriptures. David--it seems to me--every time I have posted scriptures--it is diverted into some straw man argument.

Care to engage the above scriptures?

Revelation 19:7-9---King James Version (KJV)
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Thats odd, you would think that any moral and religious person would be able to answer it right?

There must be something about this question that makes some people.....shall we say, a bit ....uncomfortable?

Straw man arguments are not answerable--and you rarely put forth anything but what seems to be your opinion, IMO--such as this:


Originally Posted by alanmolstad View Post In my own opinion, the introduction of undergarments by the Mormon leader was just a natural part of his being a sexual pervert...

Now that is something we have evidence for.

So--the question remains--since Hanes, along with others-- introduced undergarments--are they also a sexual perverts? Do you wear undergarments? If so--does that implicate you also?

While you are at it--could you please address the OP--and explain to us where you find evidence of your claim:


Originally Posted by alanmolstad View Post"All the Mormon witnesses are as worthless as they are unreliable who recanted their testimony."

[alanmolstad]

so are we to understand that if a guy sends husbands that work for him out of town, and then once they are gone he comes sniffing around their wives, and this is not a sign of a pervert?

What type of religion would have trouble answering this question?


(no religion I want to be part of that is for sure)

[alanmolstad]

Oh,,,and by the way for anyone that might be wondering, the answer is clearly "yes"

Yes, if you are talking about a type of person that sends husbands out of town and then later when the coast is clear come sniffing around the wives, that is clearly the sign that you are dealing with a sexual pervert.

case-closed.

[alanmolstad]

Now I know it may seem like an easy, open and shut question, and yes it is.

Of course if we are talking about a guy who sends husbands out of town and then comes sniffing around the wives you are dealing with a sexual pervert!

This is a very good question to start out asking people that might be going around spreading their religious views door to door too!

I mean, if they agree that such actions are clearly the actions of a pervert, then you can relax and enjoy talking to them about god and religion stuff...have fun.

But as we have seen here, if they seem to stumble on this very easy moral question you got to ask yourself why?......Why would any religion seem to struggle with such a easy morals question?

What are they attempting to hide?

Why are they so uncomfortable simply taking a stand against sexual perversion?

[dberrie2000]

Why are they so uncomfortable simply taking a stand against sexual perversion?

That's the question I have asked you, Alan.

So--care to answer to your accusation?

Not really sure why this is so?
They do seem very hard-pressed to come up with any answer at all...

if anyone knows why this is so?...why some religions seem to now want to take a moral stand on what sure seems to me to be an easy question? , feel free to bring me up to speed on the question...

[dberrie2000]

My question about your stand against sexual perversion is this:

And I noticed you did not address the OP:

not a strawman but then you are the king of repe***ive posting and ignorance.

wearing the magic underwear is a manipulation in and of itself. it isn't biblical, jesus never taught to do it nor did his disciples. i think smith got a good laugh at his followers when they meekly donned the **** and wore it like he said. he new he could manipulate people because they were gullible and vulnerable.
