Well how serious is he about it right now? There is so much I wish I would have known before I joined. Luckily here in the internet age, information is easy to find: http://www.bookofmormonproblems.com/What_Problems.html If the Book of Mormon is false, so was the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith.

This is going to sound funny, but I had told him how before my wife had converted (and before I became reactive in the church, since that was linked to my wife's conversion) I had taken her to Nauvoo a few times.

I've been reading this for a few weeks but this is my first time posting. I'll post more some day but I have to go to work soon. My wife and I emailed on Sunday to resign our membership in the church. I look forward to meeting many of you on here.
