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.

Saints in the June 2018 Ensign

June 2018 Ensign - Unity, but why is Church History Department misleading the Saints about Cumorah? The June 2018  Ensign  has a wonderful short  article titled "United in Doing Good."  It fits well with the "summer of love theme." The article includes excerpts from Lucy Mack Smith,  History, 1845 , and the Nauvoo Relief Society Minute Book, including Emma Smith's observation about "the necessity of being united among ourselves." The article notes that "President E. Smith … rose and said that  measures to promote union in this society must be carefully attended to ." The summer of love is an ideal time to contemplate unity. Church members seek complete unity and harmony as we minister to one another and to the world at large. But, as Emma also said, we need to "deal frankly with each other." And, frankly, there is an ongoing obstacle to unity in the Church, found right in this  Ensign . It concerns the Book of Mormon, and...

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...

the book Saints needs revisions

Saints - Experience Church History like never before "Experience Church History like never before" In Palmyra this week, I picked up this bookmark for the new  Saints  book. The book has a commendable goal to make Church history easier to understand and accessible to people around the world in 50 languages. It is written in the modern style of historical narratives, making it informative and enjoyable to read. If not for one editorial decision that permeates the book, I would highly recommend it. Actually, I do highly recommend  Saints  so long as readers are aware of one problem. The problem:  Saints  is agenda-driven revisionist history that is teaching people to disbelieve the prophets about an important topic. The heading on the bookmark is deeply ironic.  This book will definitely let people "experience Church history like never before" because it is changing Church history.  Saints  is revisionist history, designed to provi...
