you all want to hear something really wild! the book of mormon is about a group of "indians" from egypt and jerusalem, jews, who traveled to south american and settled the lands there and here in north america. the story is about 2 brothers who constantantly at war with each other they have a final battle in the new york area and one group is completly wiped out. archaeology records were found (brass plates) but no one knows where they are today( but the book tells of many other records in a language that is both egyptian and jewish) it tells of the final days of the indians and their future and tells also about the white man and the things he must do for the indian its good reading once you read it though you cant stop reading it again im not advocating to become a mormon because i think this group is trying to keep it from the indian out of spite and plus their leader joseph smith was killed because he sinned so much against maybe the indian the true meaning and purpose of the book of mormon has been lost and needs to be rediscovered here is a small excerpt from the book and now i would prophesy somewhat more concerning the jews and the gentiles (whites). for after the book (mormon) of which i have sspoken shall come forth and be written unto the gentiles and sealed up again unto teh lord therre sahll be many which shall believe the words which are written and they shall carry them forth unto the remnant of our seed and then shall the remnant of our seed know concerning us how that we came out from jerusalem and that they are descendants of the jews and the gospel shall be declared among them wherefore they shall be restored unto the knowledge of their fathers and also to the knowledge of jc which was had among their fathers ----- Original Message ----- From: Val <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 7:48 AM Subject: Re: [CHAHTA] I Need Help!! > I truly believe we must allow ourselves to accept the 'planes' of existence > and our People will find us.
