Wow, I'm hijacking the board today, but I have another on-topic question

Continuing to read Mormon Odyssey, and she's talking about some writings that are carved on the ledges behind the Manti temple? Anyone know about these?

It will have a completely different meaning when a Gay guy does it!

You would have fit in just fine with Capt Moroni. That is about the way our military has become today.

And that's a great thing.

All those big sweaty men, heaving and grunting.

Holding each other in their manly arms. Chins rubbing, the faint whiff of aftershave.

Re: I think I always secretly loved the illustrated versions of the BoM...

I was in the institute program and struggling to be "normal" in the 60's. The artist was an instructor at one of the colleges in LA and visited San Diego State with his portfolio under his arm. I thought his artwork shouted, "GAY" at the top of its lungs. Those images have always made me nervous in a book of "scripture". They simply scream "@#$%&". He did seem to be a tad light in his loafers. By the way there is nothing wrong with that as I am too.

Yeah, those illustrations are VERY homoerotic.

And the lighter the loafers the better in my opinion.

My family hosted Arnold Friberg for dinner in the late 70's.

Didn't get a gay vibe at all. But his homoerotic BOM paintings sure helped me through a multitude of mind-numbing cult meetings...

Well, from my experience--first of all, GayLayAle--go ahead and hijack the board. I, for one, enjoy your threads and posts. There are others not so much.

BUT NONE of those pictures in the BofM look like any mormon guys I dated--NONE. Now my current boyfriend (especially at age 26 when I dated him years ago).

For what it is worth. There is very little credible support for this.

Thanks for the links, Jim!

I know this thread went a little into left field from my original question (to my delight)

Google Mantie trek for truth to see some of it.

Here is a Smithsonian publication from the nineteenth century with a little about it:

http://books.google.com/books?id=dthvyVOjj4wC&pg=PA118&lpg=PA118&dq=the+writings+in+manti+utah&source=bl&ots=nH8AYL4rbX&sig=mv5EVJvbs4lCyqe4xvotcrClemA&hl=en&ei=H0I2Tb3GHIGugQei24i1Aw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CE4Q6AEwCA#v=onepage&q&f=false

Manti was supposed to be where Moroni walked through on his way to New York. There is a map that Brigham Young had, supposed to have been written by Joseph Smith.

The big smoking gun on that map is the Kinderhook plates.
