  As a member I was taught “anti mormons” were terrible, devil listening people… and as I’m out of the church longer and longer I realize is &nbsp;we apostates are the ones who have a better grasp on reality. Great episode. 👌🏻

  Kudos!👏👏 It&apos;s incumbent upon every individual to: question all things, investigate, and search for truth.

  I remember thinking “wait, why did JS take the characters to a scholar? I thought he said it was reformed Egyptian that no one could speak or translate without the power of God. If he was already translating it, why would he need a scholar’s opinion?”

  For anyone who wants the fancy-pants term for the phenomenon of backdating prophecy, it&apos;s &quot;vaticinium ex eventu&quot;. &nbsp; It&apos;s a &quot;must have&quot; for parties and special events. &nbsp;Use it in combination with &quot;pseudepigraphy&quot; (which is often the favored mechanism for showcasing a vaticinium ex eventu product) and you&apos;ll be the most popular person standing around the refreshments and punch bowl table. &nbsp;(You can ignore people rolling their eyes as they walk away from you with some excuse as to why they can&apos;t keep talking with you. &nbsp;That just means they&apos;re jealous...and they want to go find someone else, so that THEY can drop the phrase &quot;vaticinium ex eventu&quot; into a conversation.) &nbsp; If you say it the way that an Italian Cardinal does, it will be even more impressive.

  Wow, so much here, and having Nemo and RFM here to add their expertise and knowledge was fantast. Also, Maven&apos;s time codes are a lifesaver! I keep going back and listening to sections that went so fast I might have missed something. It&apos;s so hard to &nbsp;look at all of this and wonder how &nbsp;I have friends and family &nbsp;that refuse to believe Joseph Smith was nothing more than a conman. :(

  I always wondered how the most correct book that contained the fullness of the gospel (Book of Mormon) speaks nothing of the most profound doctrines of Mormonism: &nbsp;temple covenants and ceremonies, eternal family relationships, priesthood power needed to perform baptisms, eternal progression to godhood….. <br>Instead the BOM contains the beliefs and sermon topics of Joseph Smith’s day. &nbsp;It also contains King James biblical text that Joseph Smith later changed (supposedly by revelation) in the bible. &nbsp;This confused me for 30 years but miraculously it all makes perfect sense now 😊
