Since I've been labeled a non-believing anti-mormon here I have gone to other places to get my religious fill, this book was suggested.

Just wondering if anybody has read any of the author's work.

If I choose to buy I'll let you know and you can link to it.

Non-believing by one poster, doesn't mean "around here". It's just one poster's opinion.

Hmmmm..... I can't decide whether to laugh or cry at that statement.

If I had been labeled a non-believing anti-mormon I'd starting pounding the standard works, just to spite them, not go off the spiritual deep end even further.

Be careful. I read some of the reader reviews and they were very scary. One wrote, "Her tales of 'translation' were pure fiction," and a "cult" was started based upon this fiction. This reveiwer said one-star was not low enough for this book. I agree with Indy.

Funny stuff, I believe the BOM, D & C, Pearl of Great Price have all spun off cults, would you suggest I avoid those as well?

Default Question for you, Fus

Does your new wife know about your adventures in faux-intellectual anti-Mormon writings? Or do you keep that all here on the internet?
