Here's one under the title "Do you ever cry when you read the Book of Mormon?":

"Marion G. Romney

I urge you to get acquainted with this great book [the Book of Mormon]. Read it to your children; they are not too young to understand it. I remember reading it with one of my lads when he was very young. On one occasion I lay in the lower bunk and he in the upper bunk. We were each reading aloud alternate paragraphs of those last three marvelous chapters of Second Nephi. I heard his voice breaking and thought he had a cold, but we went on to the end of the three chapters. As we finished he said to me, "Daddy, do you ever cry when you read the Book of Mormon?"

"Yes, Son," I answered "‘Sometimes the Spirit of the Lord so witnesses to my soul that the Book of Mormon is true that I do cry."

"Well," he said, "that is what happened to me tonight."

Yeah, I cry because it is a poorly written piece of crap. I think of all the money that goes into printing that book and wonder what other good in the world could be done with the money.

The little I have read has been painfully poorly written...

And it came to pass that I couldn't stay awake long enough to cry.

Are these the ones with the PhDs? The simple folk? Just asking. I don't think these were any of the best-loved stories of anyone I knew.

I especially loved where Alma the Younger [being JS] telling his sone that sexual sin is an abomination to the Lord.

But having sex with 14 year olds is just fine!

So then how do your explain polygamy? This whole thing is just a crap-shoot.

I don't see how TBMs can sit there and be like there are just doctrines we don't understand and God will have to explain later.

Sounds like MORGdoms god makes it up as he goes!

Goodness!
