Hinckley had his Six Be’s. It was turned into a book called Standing for Something. It supposedly made the New York Times Best Seller List. I recently read something about how certain authors manage to have some proxy/proxies buy a ton of books so that they can make the list. My question is, is there a hidden warehouse owned by the church were there are a million unsold copies of this BS book so that the church could have their fearless leader on the best seller list?

I would imagine that the books would never be shipped. It would work like gold bullion in Fort Knox: you buy bars but they stay where they have always been. Then after a decent interval, the publisher would pulp the books and the paper would e reused for the latest Stephen King novel.

I don't know if Hinckley had the church buy his books, but it is certainly possible--even likely given his inevitable assertion that it was part of "the work" of spreading the gospel to the world.

Pulped and Book of Mormons printed.

Well that hardly solves the problem. What about when the Book of Mormons are pulped?

Stephen King wins either way.

So then it's true that the Book of Mormon is pulp fiction?

Yes, it is Pulp Fiction but with worse character development.

It does have a few horror elements in it.

Headless Shiz walking around.
Wives and children eating their murdered husbands.
Dead bodies filling a river.
Passive helpless people getting hacked to death.
Raping the daughters of priests.

......and all those arms chopped off, and Nephi putting on bloody clothes after Labans beheading.

It's the same warehouse where the ark of the covenant is kept.

I don't think so. Too many books. Not enough room for an ark.

Yeah, but you sit on the ark to read the books.

Too dark must be that jaredite thing with the the glowing rocks.

Does the warehouse have other Mormon-related books? Maybe there is a copy of the super secret "Sharks of The Covenants." It is the definitive playbook for bilking billions.

The warehouse may have an original script with words and music for that never produced play, "Joseph Smith, Superstar" .

"Joseph Smith Polygamy Star"

Perhaps the owners of LDS bookstores invite groups (think ward sizes) of people to buy the prophet's book, but don't really buy them. Then they report the fraudulent "sales" but never order more books. Phantom sales just like other church stats.

You never know what might turn up. The Sword of Laban, maybe?

Well, I guess the Three Nephites might show up...

It's in the Hill Cumorah right next to the cave containing all of the rest of the plates and sword of Laban

https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1360&context=jbms

"Under this table there was a pile of
plates as much as two feet high, and there were
altogether in this room more plates than probably many wagon loads; they were piled up in
the corners and along the walls. The first time
they went there the sword of Laban hung upon
the wall; but when they went again it had been
taken down and laid upon the table across the
gold plates; it was unsheathed, and on it was
written these words: “This sword will never be
sheathed again until the kingdoms of this world
become the kingdom of our God and his Christ.”
- Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses,17 June 1877

Laban's head was just a taste of the blood needed to sheath that sword. It is positively frightening what Brigham's obsession with blood was like.

Shades of a story by another German mason entitled "The Golden Cup."

These worshipful brethren rip each other off.

In modern times they could just have folks buy e-books.

Another alternative would be print on demand. Order books that are simply never printed.

too many ppl involved with a (large) warehouse, truckers, publishers, property owners (searchable on property tax records), etc.

ChurchCo can't swear everyone to secrecy!!

Yes, BANNED, Burned Books. The ash is spread though the sacrament, carpet cleaning solution and in parking lot dust.

Well if you're an ex-Mormon I think you've already fallen for some essential oil at one time in your past. So to make it clear, when we became Mormon's we settled for a lot of BS.

They sold many of us a load of BS so what makes you think they couldn't BS the New York Times Best Seller list.

Mormons BUY "books"
(Thinking they are 'true'/ good/ useful, etc.)
To "give them away"

They did it with the bom and have been doing it every since.

Useless MORMONtalk

If they didn't buy it - their own books - no one would.

You actually think an organization that prides itself on a faith promoting story of a book that had 116 pages lost from it, that was never physically seen by any other than 3 people all involved financially with the church and was finally taken up to heaven thereby avoiding all serious scrutiny from the real world, would go through the hassle to buy all those books through mormon-owned retailers and then print all those falsely reported sold books through mormon-owned publishers only store them in mormon rent-paid warehouses? Lol

If you believe all that, how many boxes of essential oils can I put you down for?

I swear Deseret Industries unloaded a mountain of Mormon vinyl albums about two years ago from wherever/whatever the storage was for the Stake Bookstores. Before the mid-'80s, there were stake bookstores that sold Mormon books and record albums. Mormon record albums more or less started about 1956 with custom titles pressed by Century Records, by Keysor Plastics, in Saugus, California. The label had a whole series of specialty Mormon albums going into the early 1960s.

A boatload of political "books" (all those Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney remainders in thrift stores) load up self-bought back stock and a lot of them get dumped as package sales when politicians go fund raising on the rubber chicken and ketchup spaghetti circuit. Those "sales" get counted for the NY Times best sellers' lists. I think Orrin Hatch bought several thousand of one of his recent books to pump the sellers' lists a few years ago.

Same thing in the recording industry. Celine Dion's new-ish album, COURAGE, had a huge manufactured spike when it got bundled with concert ticket sales and died on the chart a week later.

hidden ('secret') <> Warehouse

oxymoron.

Well one thing is certain after watching Raiders of the Lost Ark again, it is not being stored in that warehouse.

I looked very closely at all the crates and none were marked Standing for Something. So even the top top men are not aware of any physical copies of those books.

Must be a line entry on Ensign Peak Advisors spreadsheet followed by a debit marked payable to Cash.

There's a bookstore in Northern CA with books piled so high that you check the USGS earthquake map before you go in.


I bet they're in there.
