John Pratt Says He Has Found the Plates of Mormon

Post by _Equality »

LDS author John Pratt (of "Uranus Testifies of Christ" fame) claims he has found the plates of Mormon in South America.

Is it just me or does it seem like we are experiencing something of a blossoming of wacky LDS offshoots lately? Is Rusty Donuts losing his grip on the membership?

Plates of Mormon!

:lol:

Yeah, right. And Egyptologist John Gee is going to find the name of the king on Facsimile No. 3!

Riiiiight. Silly Mormons. They are children that refuse to grow up and get rid of their religious toys.

:lol:

I wonder how DCP is going to work in Brother Pratt into his film at this point, since he is apparently a "wittness" now. Maybe he needs another million for some CGI to put him in the shots.

I don't know how the Church can dispute this. Here is a picture of Johh Pratt hefting the Plates.

This is as strong and more credible than the testimony of the 12 witnesses. Here we have actual photographs of the plates for all the world to see. If only Joseph Smith was as open in showing the Golden Plates to the world.

Can he run with them?

Wow they look exactly the same as the artist depictions in church materials. Amazing.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

I believe! Now all he needs to do is start a sex-cult where the leaders get the choice of the litter and he will have something the world will really love.

Awesome. So the time has come. Let us all thank our lucky kaukobeams, preferably Kolob the one closest to God, for being so blessed to be among those held in reserved for this day.

I guess if you look for long enough you learn how to pull golden plates out of Uranus.
