Narrow Neck Of Land

[Uncle Dale]

Interesting stuff Unk. Thank you for hookin' this up. I guess we are left with one of two avenues (or perhaps three, but the third Iâ??ve heard isnâ??t paved).

1) Joseph et.al. culled a popular religious ideology and incorporated it into the Book of Mormon and early LDS-Saint-ology.

2) Mormonism does not have a monopoly on truth, and others have received (either through study or revelation) proper scriptural interpretations.

3) A conglomeration of the two with a side of bacon (not a very kosher avenue, but itâ??s fun if you have four-wheel drive).

OK, Monty -- I'll take the prize behind door number three.

Also missing from the equation would be an analysis of the other similar terms used by the same

author(s) in the BOM: What of 'narrow passage,' 'narrow pass,' 'narrow strip of wilderness,' and

'narrow course'?

For those folks who look to the strip of land between Lakes Erie and Ontario, there are some interesting

possibilities. Along the southern beaches of Lake Ontario, leading towards that strip, is a "narrow passage"

and on the narrow neck of land itself, there was once an unsettled narrow strip of wilderness (where the

Canadians built the Welland Canal).

Nowadays I suppose that only Sister Phyllis C. Olive is interested in that sort of old geographical trivia.

And, no, Cold Steel, I don't think JS's use of "narrow neck of land" in the BoMor proves modern authorship.

Just curious, then: what caused you to post on this particular issue? I haven't seen you on the board for a while, so this must have caught your eye for some reason.

Because I had the sources immediately available and a few spare minutes for playtime. (Congratulations! You've just exhausted my allotted time for answering vapid questions).

Hi J Green,

You can tuck away your conspiracy theory.

Drats!

Crap. This reminds me of the time I hiked to the highest peak of the highest mountain to ask the wise man three questions. After asking where the bathroom was, and if it was occupied, I asked if those two questions counted against my total.

Worst trip ever.
