- must apologize I wasnt aware that the mormon lost tribes hype, was actually spin [1][1] point shared already in other thread [2-2] deciphering useful visions I'll say in time of mediums spiritism and seers, that was standard practice for mormons as always since the lds council'of'12 were "with the calling to be seers" just as JosephS himself was visionary too [3][3][3] what guess in those times was very regular knowhow [4-16]
eh, I was assuming there is some interesting story, but not that the main story is from some hieroglyphic translation of the kindhook plates, from which actually came the supposed story about the lost tribes ... hm, didnt know that the obsession of smiths with gold plates is coz they were consumed by the gold rush too, so built narrative that would be appealing story for [itching ride or recruiting diggers!?, evident by the two most hyped ideas of mormonism, whether for kindhook'plates or mormon'book'plates [5][5][5] isnt obvious the repeating forgery pattern, actually someones visions used as new christian personal cult, to which hooked others, regular trap in all ages, eg. here in balkans such spin were bogomils which as paulicians tried to spin own Christianity [6][6-9][6] there was secret book tho, but the same couldnt survive the atmospheric hardships!
- practically I've never dive in lds stories, and had have just recent hints about mormons through JayD videos, eventually something to have learnt on the go earlier but forgot about, like the second 3rd footnote from the first paragraph above and solely coz tied to theosophy, but I've never had have explored the teachings, also think last year found that video of the supposed ex-mormon WilliamS debunking it as skim, probably correct reasoning coz say he went behind the scenes!?, tho if as always protestantism was issue for me, what about mormonism as whatever freemasonic kick, whether eg. as intentional infiltration for peddling Chirstians, or eg. sudden burst of JosephS to leave the local masonic'temple'lodge, So, just seen surficially lds is problematic, what about when listen to JayD explanations!, dont take me wrong, but when overall will be seen all that hype, I have indeed issue how lds elites were peddling its followers to become True Christians that need to share mandatory donations [7] similar approach can be seen in various other "christian" denominations [7] but none of them was trying to bring new prophet, what about inner earth connection to ancient israel tribes!, when is too much is too much!
