I love that- someone just posted that and I hadn't seen it for years!

True. I have a lot to learn in a lot of areas. Especially the interpersonal stuff.

Fun play though. As to Professor Hill, my earliest and most vivid memory of performing theater (other than getting lost briefly at Cumorah pageant) was my big brother starring as Professor Hill in a high school performance.

I was young/naiive enough back then (merely naiive now) that when the town was getting riled up to tar/feather Professor Hill, I thought they really *were* gonna hurt my brother....

Yeh, back so long ago, when I lived in Frisco, I was part of a barbershop quartet in my ward and we sang "Lida Rose" -- just like the Buffalo Bills in Music Man.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLEEGnA8vQ8 .

I find your approach to explaining Book of Mormon influence on Europe less compelling then I do current attempts to explain where the Nephites lived in the Americas. I would harder to believe both. I do not see how it could lead people to accepting the Book of Mormon. It might but I do not see it.

Does the Peruviant thread help bridge that gap a wee bit?

The start of the German/Algonquian Semitic/Yiddish thread?

Many of us have enjoyed Mormonism as a quaint little town. And have voiced opinions stating no desire for that to change. But that is not what the ship was built for. It was erected to prepare a people for very specific things. A kingom to roll forth and shake/fill the earth, and thunder from the heavens, and bring people to acknowledge that Heaven loves them fiercely, and will fulfill all promises.

For the eventual laying down of contentions and ushering in peace, and lifting a banner that is to be had "to all people" amplifying the invitation to shepherds in Luke 2:14.  

Any initial glimpse yet, of a viable Bifrost connecting east and west?  For "many yet on the earth, among all sects, parties, and denominations...are only kept from the knowledge of the truth because they know not where to find it.

1. A few hundred views of the initial installment (w/the poll), but only 5 poll responses from members, and 0 would put it to use.

2. Another thinks it's a good-intention road to Oz

3. Another thinks it likely wouldn't help lead someone to Christ

 

Tough room.

What I'm talking about...

...in general. Nephites in Europe. Over the years, i have repeatedly attempted to expand our Nephite/Lehite paradigm to include a Nephite/Ammonite colony crossing the Atlantic to ancient Europe, as sustained by extensive European evidence, in order to help our neighbors (and children) make a better-informed decision.

...in the specific post you cited. After hundreds of views from forum participants on the topic, but zero expressed interest in doing a thing with/about it, that post was simply me asking the forum "wazzup?" I.e. what does their ongoing silence mean. The answer so far is that I need to enunciate/sell/summarize better. Fine, please deliver to me today a check for 100 billion dollars, with home and family restored. (the latter two, and work sufficient to support me and my family would do nicely.) (Thanks in advance.) 

...in this specific thread. This thread was intended as a placemarker/discussion point for a URL about Nefi/Nephi.  (Extensive cultural memory about Nefi/Nephi as a distant ancestor/patriarch among early Europeans.) However, I've already posted a few things about early European cultural memory for Nephi, here in this forum, in other forums, and on other websites. And my system doesn't allow me to modify this thread's OP. So the previously posted content about Nephi may need to suffice.

Recap

1. Nephites in Europe

2. Does the forum even care?

3. Lufthansa flight Nefi circling patiently.

 

Not for the faint of heart, but to remember/appreciate Independence, one of the most poignant intercut scenes in film. (Coming from a former editor.)

Pahoran and Captain Moroni crossed figurative swords over support for their troops manning the walls. A salute to past and present troops/veterans, and to spiritual warriors manning the walls today, who will one day get to stand down in peace. Happy 4th.

You might want to change your tech or your browser if that is a problem.  I can't edit half the time on my old iPad.  On this newer one (handmedown so still four years old), I can't edit maybe once a month or so.  I use Safari.

Hmm. Neither Chrome nor Firefox resolve things.

This was an issue with my laptop too, and had been for quite some time.
