A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principal scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear. Thus the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and not by any power of man.” (David Whitmer, An Address to All Believers in Christ, Richmond, Mo.: n.p., 1887, p. 12.)"
Not sure what your point is here AA. If it is to show me that the seerstone in the hat is true you're talking to the wrong guy. I'm well aware of it, and I'd hope that you'd know that about me by now. I'm simply making the point that South Park mocked many of our beliefs and our history. I didn't see us financially boycotting anything. We take it in stride and move on. I still don't feel sorry for cruise and I wasn't personally offended by any South Park episode.
