Problem is that Ether and 3 Nephi both identify Book of Mormon lands as "this land" and then also tell of the "New Jerusalem".

Next, the Doctrine and Covenants are supposed to be modern revelation. These should clarify the Book of Mormon. The New Jerusalem is spoken about in the D&C. Jesus tells Smith this New Jerusalem will be in Missouri. So lets see, New Jerusalem in the lands of the Book of Mormon. Jesus says this magical place will be in Missouri.

So where the hell are the Book of Mormon lands? Do these latest apologetics tell us that the 10th Article of Faith isn't important?

3 Nephi 21:23-24

Ether Chapter 13

D&C 42:9, 35, 62, 67
45:66
84:2, 3

10th Article of Faith

Each new story from FAIRy land only helps to show that the BofM needs to be discarded and that Joseph Smith's prophecies should be discounted.

Seriously, if I were a GA I would call him on the carpet. Either he speaks the truth or the Book of Mormon and the words of the prophets are true.

If members start believing him, they will stop believing the brethren. Of course, there's no reason to believe the brethren, but if people are supposed to hold fast to the iron rod, then they must shut out the Ash voices coming from the mists of darkness. Once they let go of the words of the prophets and follow after FAIRs strange teachings, they will stray from the stright and narrow and become lost, never knowing which way to turn.



Yay, Ash! Go for it buddy!

FAIRies and Meldrumites are in a battle about real estate (location location location). They've written volumes and produced vids arguing who's right and who's wrong.

What is fun about this battle between meso-mos and great-lake-mos is that there is one theory that fits both data:

Joseph and buddies made it all up.

Those seven words simply explain it all and fit the data nicely.

Then there's this bit in the article that made me LOL.

> As ethnohistory specialist Brant Gardner ...

Brant Gardner is a specialist of ethnohistory. Um, with training in computer technology, from what I am told. One of these days I will publish a lengthy correspondence I had with Brant. He's wacked.
