I wrote a response last night to the recent BOMC blog post about the new discoveries in Guatemala and their possible relationship to the Book of Mormon. Check out my post here:

Yeah I was going back and forth with a guy on FB, and I had never actually heard of the Apocalypse of Abraham. So I was like, what the hey, why not, Ill read it and see if it supports the BOA. Forum: Recovery Board
Thanks! Yeah I guess so much is the lens with which you look at the facts. I was trying to be a little more objective with this post. Forum: Recovery Board
I recently got into a debate with an amateur apologist who argued that the Apocalypse of Abraham proves the Book of Abraham.

It's also possible that the change in UK law and the Tom Phillips lawsuit had a hand in it. This is just my own theory, but as anti-fraud laws start to popup, the church can claim they provided the more accurate historical information. Forum: Recovery Board
Thanks! I have another article in the wings about the Apocalypse of Abraham that I just finished. I'm holding off publishing because I've gotten such great feedback on this post. I really appreciate those who help me clean up the message. Forum: Recovery Board
This is the version of the BOM you want to share: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Book-of-Mormon-1977-Gold-Cover-with-Reformed-Egyptian-Hieroglyphics-/
This has the Caractors on it. Which are almost comical now. Forum: Recovery Board
Can you help me clarify? I think this is a really good point that I'm a little weak on, seeing as how I'm a finance/accounting guy and not a scientist. I'll try to edit based upon what you said. Forum: Recovery Board
I admire those smarter than me who figured it was all made up on the first reading. I was blinded by my desires to be super faithful to the cause Forum: Recovery Board
BH Roberts died a leader of the church. The "Studies of the BoM" was not supposed to ever see the light of day. How did he justify it? He had a fortified shelf... Forum: Recovery Board
Yes I have. Duane is married to my cousin and I've worked with Chris on other projects. They are involved with my project www.bookofmormonorigins.org Forum: Recovery Board
Honestly I'm naive on alcohol, and was just citing what that other guy wrote. Part of his point was that wine storage would have been difficult as well. Forum: Recovery Board
Yes, apologists love to ignore his story. Or they just suggest he wasnt looking long enough to find all the great evidence they have found... Such as Nahom! hehe Forum: Recovery Board
I've written another post, where I basically just summarize some of the key issues with the Book of Mormon which generally don't get a lot of air time with apologists.

Thanks. My main objective is to debunk the Book of Mormon (which in my mind has been thoroughly done) but to do it in bite-sized pieces. Almost like sound-bites for those who are on the fence. Forum: Recovery Board
