"...of a once mortal deified being named Elohim and one of his myriad of wives. My memory was wiped and my essence was transferred into the body of a genetically engineered human infant on Earth..."


If you told this story to a normal person who didn't know anything about Mormonism they'd think you were totally mad, delusional, round the bend, cracked, or two fries short of a happy meal-- but you avoid the asylum because it passes as religion.

Well, the Book of Abraham tells us all about Kolob. And if it's in the Book of Abraham, it must be true because Brother Joseph 'translated' it as only Joe could-
'And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me...'Abraham 3:2-3

How about that, there IS something in that made-up BS of a book that I can agree with!

"These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto the word bollocks spelt backwards."

If I remember rightly, that's from the Book of Judic, but Elderolddog will tell us the precise reference, I hope :-D
