Complete Guide to D&C


I've created a complete chronology of the Doctrine and Covenants. The current chronology in the beginning of D&C is great, but it is a little lacking in terms of details. The file, that you can download here, has dates, the subject matter of the revelations, the recipients of the revelations, content breakdowns, code names, and some other fun stuff. Check it out if you want to learn more about the Doctrine and Covenants!

Joseph Smith and the Inverted Pentagram

Image
The year is 2218. Modern society as we know it has crumbled and alien overlords have taken control of the ruined remains of America. In the rubble, a discovery is made. An issue of the conspiracy tabloid  National Enquirer . What valuable insight into the world of 200 years ago could this document provide? This issue becomes a prized artifact because of the information it provides about the world as it once existed. The only problem is that none of it is true. In 1844, disgruntled excommunicated Mormons created the  Nauvoo Expositor.  This anti-Mormon newspaper only ran one issue in which polygamy and Joseph Smith were condemned in very strong terms. It was one of many papers of the era that ran articles targeting the Mormons and Joseph Smith for their doctrine and practices. The publisher, William Law, disingenuously founded his own church based on the LDS church in an attempt to have his cake and eat it too. He then began a smear campaign in which he likened the Mormons to t

The Brass Plates Conspiracy

Did the powers that be of Jerusalem collude to keep an invaluable sacred text out of the hands of the people? Critics of the Book of Mormon like to attack the concept of a bound set of plates being used in ancient Jerusalem. Aside from this being an absence of evidence is evidence of absence fallacy and the fact that  plates dating back to that time have been discovered , these critics failed to consider one major component of the Mormon faith that explains this problem, the belief in prophets. Prophets can see things that other people cannot. Before Noah, arks did not exist. Before Moses, tabernacles did not exist. Before Isaiah, lengthy and confusing analogies did not exist. The list goes on and on. What if plates never existed in Ancient Israel? Would that prevent a prophet from being shown a new form of record keeping? No. God can command and instruct as He sees fit. Case closed. Except it wasn’t for me. This "problem" got me thinking about plates. The fi

The Top 5 Movies Mormons Are Obsessed With

5. O Brother Where Art Thou : This could be a personal bias as this is my favorite movie, but I’ve seen a lip-synched version of the Soggy Bottom Boys performance pop up in tow ward talent shows which strikes me as odd. I’d be willing to bet this folksy classic is a mainstay in many Mormon households. 4. The Harry Potter franchise: I know these are wildly popular throughout the world, but I can’t shake this feeling that Mormons are extra obsessed with these films. I can attest to seeing Mormons rattle off the most obscure facts about them and every other girl on Mutual has their Pottermore house listed in their bio (not that I’m on Mutual). Honorable Mention : I debated Star Wars and Lord of the Rings for this pick because I feel that there is a special Mormon fanaticism for those as well. That could be general fanaticism though. 3. The Other Side of Heaven : This is a Disney movie about a Mormon missionary. What more is there to say? 2. Napoleon Dynamite : This
