Hebrew DNA found in South America
Ok, I’m going quote exactly from the Nephi Project Newsletter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Nephi Project Newsletter 12 May 2008 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hebrew DNA found in American Indian populations in South America? Just as George is preparing for his Book of Mormon research expedition to Peru and Bolivia, Scott R. Woodward, executive director of the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy […]
Book of Mormon – NY Geography Theory – Part 1
Ok, for those who follow my blog (both of you 🙂 ), you’ll notice that I have an interest in Book of Mormon Geography. While I am open to many theories, so far the only one that has generated any interest is a theory placing the Book of Mormon lands in the New York area. […]
Wilfred Griggs, Egyptologist
I attended a fireside Sunday night with Wilfred Griggs, Assoc Professor from BYU. His specialty is Egyptology. While I had never heard of him before, the flyer listed the following information: (1) Director of the Seila Pyramid Excavation, (2) Produced a National Geographic Channel Egypt Special, (3) author of numerous books on Egypt, (4) Currently […]
The MTC and Treatment Centers
I started a new job about a month ago at a treatment center. It is basically a very small private high school, that takes students with all sorts of problems, including depression, ADHD, alcoholism, drug abuse, anorexia, bulima, cutting (ie physically cutting oneself for emotional reasons), and many other behavioral disorders. I’m a math teacher […]
The Milk Ceiling
I just read this blog post at Project Deseret. You can read more at the link, but I would like to excerpt a few paragraphs out of that blog. Most likely someone has countered your requests for an intellectually robust gospel (de-baggage the word, please) with the classic image of a penniless, illiterate widow in […]
Have the Lost 10 Tribes been found?
Ok, I probably won’t get too many comments on this, but it is an interesting topic for me. For some quick background, I previously posted on this topic. I recently purchased a copy of “Quest for the Lost Tribes” by Simcha Jacobovichi. In this documentary, he tries to make a case where he identifies most […]
Stone Box found, just like Golden Plates
I am on an email list for the Nephi Project, and I get some interesting information. This is a group that does most research in Saudi Arabia, and has uncovered some interesting discoveries supporting the Book of Mormon. They also release information that others might find interesting for new world sites. In the latest email […]
Emma Smith: My Story
I saw a sneak preview of the upcoming movie, “Emma Smith: My Story” at the LDS Film Festival in January. It is due to be released in about a week–April 11 here in Utah. I highly recommend it. It was commissioned by the Joseph Smith Historical Society, and has many of the same actors and […]
Time for Something Funny
Well, it’s good not to be too serious. Check out the video below. It’s proof we’re not the only “curious and unusual people”. Check out this video.
Why don’t Mormons Celebrate Easter?
Ok, I thought that would get your attention. Let’s talk semantics for a minute. I will agree that mormons “observe” Easter, but we don’t “celebrate” Easter. Certainly we believe in the resurrection. However, in comparison to other Christian denominations, mormon celebration is a yawner. There is no Easter fireside by the first presidency. Congregation celebrations […]
