+ | If you really believe it makes no difference that Joseph Smith put his face in a hat with a common stone that he found 24 feet underground while digging a well and dictated the entire Book of Mormon without even using the Golden Plates, than why doesn't the Church plainly teach this? Even missionaries that are aware of the actual translation process will purposely tell investigators the incorrect, commonly-believed version of Joseph using the Urim & Thummim in conjunction with the plates, instead of mentioning the verified 'stone in the hat' method with the plates not even being in the room. | ||

+ | *Did you realize that the term "Urim and Thummim" was applied to ''both'' the Nephite Interpreters ''and'' Joseph's seer stone. After all, as MormonThink points out earlier, Joseph noted that ''everyone'' would eventually have their own "stone." | ||
