Is there any evidence that the Urim and Thummim that Joseph possessed are in the church's hands?
Also, if there any reason to not believe that a seer stone might be a useful spiritual object for members' own use for personal revelation? To me, a seer stone hints at magic. And I've already said that I tend to adopt a more scientific view of God and his power. Getting revelation through a stone seems antithetical to this, but I am open to ideas. Talismans seemed to be very important to Joseph. And now are the church that scorns talismans most favored by modern Christians--crosses and crucifixes. If one were interested in pursuing this in one's own life (akin to seeking spiritual gifts), would one necessarily be losing one's way? |

What is a CTR ring if not a talisman?

How about garments? That seems to fit the bill.
