Say, bro, I didn't write the book. I just posted the article.
Probably won't make much difference though, will it? (They're not a real objective bunch.)
Some years back, when Mormons revised their Book of Mormon, they set out to retrieve all copies of the earlier versions. Too incriminating.
Anyway, they sent some to a private college in Arkansas which had a pretty impressive historical book collection.
These guys asked to exchange the old copies with a new and improved version. The librarian said no, and promply called security.
Kind of funny, though, that the book of Mormon has been corrected so many times. It is supposed to have come directly from God (on the golden tablets which no one but Smith saw) and then God told Smith verbatim what the tablets said. And still, had all those mistakes.
Guess Smith didn't have his spell checker on.

Hey, I thought they had a list of certified witnesses who saw those golden tablets and signed affadavits and all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not oposed to the validity of what you are posting. I've been flamed in the past for making anti-lds statements.
I grew up in southern and central Idaho (more mormons per capita than Utah) and witnessed their hypocrisy first hand.
I will say that the largest percentage of Mormons are good people. I just fail to understand how they can believe the hogwash surrounding the founding of their doctrines.

And still, had all those mistakesName the mistakes please.

I would like to know why the LDS copyrighted their Book of Mormon and sue people who quote from it? Something to hide maybe?

What do you mean by incriminating?
BTW I have an a copy of the first Book of Mormon as well as thousands of others LDS you could get in the 80's leathred bound at $4.95 before all the punctuations and grammar was corrected.
