Opening June 2018

The memorial is located one mile north of the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center on state route 21. It includes an outdoor display of faithful LDS historical material relevant to Oliver Cowdery and his involvement in the area with Joseph Smith and the Hill Cumorah.

It's a must-see for visitors to Palmyra.

Visitors to Cumorah never learn what the prophets have taught

Church members find it difficult to believe that the Visitors Center on Temple Square still teaches the Mesoamerican/two-Cumorahs theory (M2C). If you don't live in Utah or haven't visited Temple Square lately, you can see this for yourself here: http://bookofmormonwars.blogspot.com/2016/12/yes-they-do-teach-two-cumorahs-theory.html While it's ridiculous for the Temple Square Visitors Center to teach M2C (so much for the so-called neutrality policy), what's happening at the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center near Palmyra, New York, is even worse. I've been here in Palmyra for the last few days. (We have a house here.) I stood on the hill Cumorah yesterday, in fact, watching the sunset. It was an awesome sight--the same one Mormon and Moroni had when they saw the Lamanites in the distance, preparing for the final battle that would extinguish the Nephite nation. And yet, most of the visitors here have no idea of what happened. Visitors to Cumorah never learn what the p

How the Correlation Department promotes M2C

Many people want to know why the Brethren don't formally address the issue of Book of Mormon geography. My answer:  they have . They've addressed it for over 160 years. They've consistently made two points: 1. The Hill Cumorah of Mormon 6:6 is in New York. 2. We don't know the details of the rest of the geography.* The Brethren are not obligated to respond to every academic theory that arises, especially when the record is as clear as it is regarding the New York Cumorah. How many more times would the Brethren have to reiterate these teachings before the intellectuals would accept them? As lawyers say, the question of Cumorah has been "asked and answered." However, certain LDS intellectuals refuse to accept the answer. The influence of these intellectuals is pervasive and growing in the Church. In this blog we've documented many examples, but today we're going to look at the Correlation Department.** Until we LDS unite around the prophets'

Editing the Joseph Smith manual

Image
Correlation Department misleads the Saints 3 Nephi contains an important message from the Lord about the gathering of Israel, but thanks to the Correlation Department, few current members of the Church understand the message.  The Department deleted a passage from the Wentworth letter that explains the passage in 3 Nephi. It has to do with the remnant of Lehi's people. Notice how many times the Lord refers to the remnant. Joseph Smith specifically identified the remnant in the Wentworth letter, but  the Correlation Department deleted Joseph's teachings from the lesson manual,   Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith . Consequently, members of the Church today who rely on Church curriculum do not know what Joseph taught about the remnant. _____  3 Nephi 21: 1  And verily I say unto you,  I give unto you a  sign , that ye may know the time  when these things shall be about to take place —that I shall  gather in, from their long disp
