http://www.ldsmag.com/article/1/12895In explaining why Smith's magic upbringing is useful to the Book of Mormon translation, Ashat says:
"Unfortunately the Interpreters didn’t come with instructions and Joseph was apparently left on his own as to how to use them. This is when his cultural background came in handy."
Some of my other favorites:
"The seer stones were related to crystal balls or the practice of looking into pools of water or mirrors to divine information (such as the Queen’s magic mirror in the Snow White tale)."
"Unfortunately most artists are not historians and may produce beautiful drawings and paintings that are based on misassumptions."
The church has known these problems for decades, and they still don't fix it. Why not, Ashie?
