Miraculous claims surrounding the coming forth of the Book of Mormon are an evidence of the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith. Critics intent on discrediting the Restoration point to DNA studies on indigenous American peoples in an attempt to expose Joseph, the Book of Mormon, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as frauds. Claiming that scientific evidence excludes any possibility that Middle Eastern or ancient Jewish travelers came to the Americas in antiquity, such critics attempt to sow seeds of doubt in the minds of Latter-day Saints and those of other faiths concerning the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.
Are these studies credible? Do the data actually show what the critics claim? Do they discredit the Book of Mormon, or is there biological and other scientific evidence that supports the claims that it is indeed an ancient record of a people that once inhabited the Americas?
The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR) interviews scholars and scientists to answer these important questions and reveals the faith-affirming truth that not only are the critics' conclusions and methods flawed, but that there is credible scientific evidence in favor of the Book of Mormon as an ancient religious text.
My, how "christian" of you...got some proof of this?
Telling the truth about mormonism is an example of "insults", "vitriol" and "anti-Christian behavior"? What do you call bearing false witness, as is demonstrated by your comments?
Hypocrite much? But don't worry, I won't hold my breath waiting for any proof...but your post is demonstrative of the very type of projection that the mormons and their cabal of defenders will engage in when the cold hard facts just get in the way of the fantasy that is mormonism.
WHERE ARE THE CURELOMS?
In for a penny; in for a pound!
LOL
you had me going back up thread to see just which pic you were referring to...
and then I had to look harder at that common pic of Elsie’s ...
:)
Just released pictures from DEEP in the jungle reveal...
They are FORGETABLE now???
After all these years Jim I wound not expect anything to be different.
I know beyond a doubt that the real truth will, will out and some I say some, might be embarrassed for their words, some of us will witness because they will be living in the millennium or the thousand years of peace.
Those who are righteous will remain during the thousand years of, and those who choose not too, will live until the time appointed to them to die just as it here now.
Rev 20 Satan is bound during the Millennium—The Saints will then live and reign with Christ—The dead stand before God and are judged out of the books according to their works.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Sincerely and humbly I say these things in Jesus Christ Name , Amen

Take it somewhere else. Not interested in Mormonism.
There have been a few who on their own have talked with the missionaries invited them in and were converted by the Holy Spirit.
They freep mailed me after their conversions to tell me what many here have said is wrong and glad they did not listen to them.
I wasn’t expecting that nor new this was going on.
____________________________________________
I too was not expecting that...
Will you tell us which FReepers you are referring too ???
I haven’t seen any posts from anyone telling you of their conversion to Mormonism...
I am just curious, how is it that posting directly from mormon works the actual words of mormons is hate.
Do you find what is posted to be incorrect?
What is it that is hateful?
They freep mailed me after their conversions to tell me what many here have said is wrong and glad they did not listen to them."
That's alright, there are a few of us here on FR who are not afraid or ashamed (unlike these mysterious converts you claim) to say that we were released from the chains of mormonism by the help of many here...
I'm glad I wasn't too prideful to listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and to read and investigate the very information posted here.

Jim, many of LDS has refrain from posting on this but it seems when the LDS stop, a few others have daily non-stop continued to malign us 24/7!
In any case I will respect what you have asked.
My Best to You!
How do you malign perpetrators of fraud?
PULL QUOTE:
“They should come out and say, ‘There’s no evidence to support your Israelite ancestry,’ “ Southerton said. “I don’t have any problem with anyone believing what’s in the Book of Mormon. Just don’t make it look like science is backing it all up.”
