My Column in the "Mormon Times"

[_Pollypinks]

I'm new to this board, but on the two others I frequent I've heard Dan's name said. Now, I don't know Dan, nor am I from Utah, something that seems to be a detriment to me here. But I just cannot believe he really believes all this mush.

Mortal Man had some plangent and interesting observations about this article over at the ironically named Mormon Dialogue board. He was warned by the mods for his comments and Pahoran launched a thread attacking him in response.

Hi, Dr. Scratch. I checked over there but wasn't able to find the juicy bits. Could you post a link? Thanks!

Cool. Thanks, Doc!

Here is what "the author" claimed:

I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.

I have no objection to that.

The author also claimed:
1. He translated the Book of Mormon from Golden Plates - do you believe that?
2. He was commanded by an Angel with a flaming sword to marry multiple women - do you believe that?

I suppose, the question is, do you believe all of Joseph's claims or just the ones that fit what you personally wish to think and believe?

This isn't meant to sound as an attack so apologies if it does. I am just interested in your process for determining when and if you believe the things Joseph claimed.
