- Claire's Almost too easy. In early afternoons especially with only one worker usually that goes to the back too. Stay close to the wall to avoid mirrors and you're fine.
- Forever 21 Surprisingly easy if staff does not ask to see your items. Fold clothes on top of each other, put some in hanger clothes, bring a bag and you're good. Usually folded tees have no tags.
- Hot Topic Jewelry is easy. Most don't have cameras or more than 3 people working. You could haul shirts if you really tried.
- Spencer's Easy if you're careful. Avoid cameras, hide stuff under a hoodie and fold it. Workers usually stay in one spot. Shiny alarm stickers are more or less there to scare you, just peel.
- Walmart Controversial but easy. Going at night for me usually works best because workers are busy restocking.
- Bath & Body Works Only really works if your area is busy. Easy to slip small lotions and shower gels.
- Cotton On No cameras or sensors, just don't frequent the store. May ask for how many items.
- FYE You can get away taking a CD or 2 with a hoodie. Workers never really travel, no cameras I am aware of.
- Michael's Best for small things. Avoid cameras like the plague. Sticker section usually has no cameras. Most have a no chase policy.
- Dollar General + Dollar Tree Avoid cameras and workers. Usually DG workers don't care.

2023.06.09 23:13 SuperRaccoon17 Need help: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 & Expanding Desktop in Windows 11
Greetings Reddit faithful!
I recently built a new machine (after 13 years). Used to have an RTX 660 with four monitors. In the configuration below:
1 2
3 4
I had it running as one big desktop with the Win 7 start button, quick launch and clock all across the bottom. I'm now on Windows 11. I've been reloading software and configuring/personalizing what's where and the look, much like my previous one. HOLY F. I cannot for the life of me, return my Windows display to that "one big ass desktop" across my four monitors.
It would make my day to accomplish this.
Thanks Reddit IT gang and users!

2023.06.09 23:13 Jkidfhf8hu First and second course of my first stone retaining wall, how to face rocks?
I have a small stairway coming off a deck, and a whole lot of rock on my property. Got a feather and wedge set last week, and it seemed to work pretty good. With a hammer drill and bit.
So I thought I'd be a genius and get a proper hand set- tracer and point and 3lb Trow and Holden. I watched videos, picked up 2 books. To me, it looks like I should just be able to use that tracer, knock it around the rock many times in the same line, then it should just crack? Didn't work for me at all. I also have a stone hammer and tried beating on it with that.
https://imgur.com/OxSHm0K Are these stones just the wrong kind? It seems like they're relatively brittle from the outside. And they split pretty easy with the wedges.

2023.06.09 23:11 sleeping_murder How Do You Cope?
Been married to my monster over 30 years. I KNEW HE WAS AN ALCOHOLIC, but I was 24 years old and madly in love. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I am now 56 years old, hiding out in my back bedroom blasting my heavy metal so I cannot hear him going off for nothing in the kitchen at 3 in the morning. He also keeps threatening suicide, he even fired his rifle at the kitchen wall and the bullet went through to the bathroom vanity and stopped in the porcelain. I woke up and noticed wood shavings on the bathroom floor. He barely remembers it. And yes, he told me just 2 days ago that all of this mess is MY FAULT. You cannot argue with stupid.
How do you guys cope when leaving isn't an option and you have no support system?

2023.06.09 23:11 Moonshinemooo Advice needed on euthanasia
Age: 16 Breed: Patterdale x staff Sex: Female Neutered: Yes Location: UK
Apollogies for the long question.
We visited the vet 6 months ago after discovering some new lumps. (1 on chest and 1 on the underside of her back leg) the vet stuck a needle in the lump on her chest and said she thinks it's fatty but it does feel strange and the also checked the other lump. They said we could do biopsies and look at treatment if cancer but there would be high chance of complications due to her age. I decided that even if it was found to be cancerous, I wouldn't put her through surgery and treatment. The vet and I agreed that as long as she wasn't in pain or bothered by the lumps then we can manage comfortability until euthanasia becomes the clear option.
My girl is still eating like a pig, drinking and still has zoomies (often late at night) and still wants affection so up until now I've thought I would know if those things stopped that would mean it's time to get ready to say goodbye.
However, for the past 2 months she has been showing signs of cognitive decline which seems to have progressed more over the past month.
She stares at the wall, stops in random places and walks around the house as if she is looking for something. She then gets excited everything she finds me again but it's the worst at night time.
She runs up and down the stairs and won't settle, She does laps of the house and exhausts herself and still won't settle until I'm in bed with all lights off. I've tried turning the lights off while I'm working but she won't relax until I'm physically in bed in total darkness. After another vet trip she was prescribed 2x100mg of Gabapentin which she gets at 5pm.
She has also started pooping inside which is weird because she will be outside in the yard and tries to run inside while pooping. On her walks she won't poop but walks erraticly in every direction for about 10 minutes until she's tired and we need to go home despite her being a great walker all of her life.
The vet said I need to weigh up her good days vs bad days and see how the Gabapentin does as that's really all they can do but she's been on it for 4 weeks and it seems to be having less of an effect.
I don't want my girl to suffer and I don't know if I'm just gaslighting myself to believe she isn't ready for euthanasia or not. She's active, eating and drinking and I know if I did have to take her to be PTS she would need to be physically restrained to have the meds and the idea of that destroys me but I don't know what to do. I've had her for 16 almost 17 years and I want to do right by her no matter how much its going to hurt me.
Can anyone offer any advice?

2023.06.09 23:08 c8akjhtnj7 UK Router suitable for Router table with tabletop height adjustment
Hello all, hoping someone can help. I am looking to build myself a router table, but I don't want to have to keep faffing about under the table to change the height, so I would like one that can be raised or lowered from above.
I am finding it really difficult to track down router models that have this feature. The only one I have found so far is the "Trend T14EK 2300W 1/2" which has a cut out in the router plate to allow for the height to be adjusted from either top or bottom.
It also happens to be the most expensive Trend Router they offer as far as I can tell. I have checked a few forums, and people suggest a cheaper router + a separate router lift, but the ones suggested are in the £300+ range themselves. With this kind of price I might as well just buy the top model Trend router.
Can anyone suggest any other models available in the UK that can be adjusted from above?
Thanks

2023.06.09 23:07 becelav Help with some filter questions.
So I got my neighbors pool and the cap for the drain plug on the bottom of the sand filter is missing. I’ve been all over town looking for one to no avail. I’ve ordered some off Amazon to see if I can find the right one but they won’t be in til Sunday. In the meantime, I started looking at my old pool filter and can’t figure out if it’s big enough.
The pool is an 18’x33’x52” walls. It came with a Hayward Power-Pro LX Plus (model#SP1580X15). I upgraded my old 16’ pool filter and pump with a SF20110 two years ago and is what I’ve debated using.
My questions are:
1) would the SF20110 be big enough for the pool? It’s a 1HP I believe. Manual states maximum flow rate of 2650 gallons per hour. The Hayward shows 70GPM on the pump itself, so if I’m figuring this out correctly, is 4200 GPM maximum flow rate?
2) could I connect the Hayward (1.5HP) pump to the sand filter that came with the other pump. They look roughly the same size but the Hayward one had the label whitened out by the sun so i can’t compare specs, I don’t even know the model number which has made finding the drain cap even harder.
3) any suggestions as to what to do to put a cap on it? Its 3/4” with really fine threads. I stopped by our plumbing store and they didn’t have anything either. I thought about a pvc pipe and using Oatie to melt the pvc and just screw it in but I’m afraid it’ll melt the threaded piece too.

2023.06.09 23:06 EternalNY1 Single Player - Supply Challenge - I can't get past red belts ... any tips?
I've been trying this one over and over and I can make it up to level 11 that requires you to provide:
Level 11 (5:00)
- 50 Iron plate
- 30 Iron gear
- 30 Electronic circuit
- 20 Automation science pack
- 20 Logistic science pack
- 10 Fast transport belt
I have been unable to get the Logistics 2 research done by the time I get to this phase.
I have to get Logistics 1, automation, red science, green science, and then Logistics 2 in the time limit and I'm not even close. I can get it about 50% researched but then I run out of time. The last run I think I used 5 daisy-chained labs being fed automated red and green science but it wasn't enough.
I suppose I could go watch how some speed runners do it, but the ramp in difficulty on this particular level seems strange.

2023.06.09 23:05 PraddaPradda What do I do in this situation? (housing and expired visa)
Hello guys, I'm (29F) living with 2 flatmates. This guy from Chile (34M) is not a good person at all.
Several times he's done parties where his friends wreck the house, throw up everywhere and steal stuff.
He's dirty AF. I mean it. Like, he hangs his clothes everywhere in the house to the point the smell is disgusting, I can't even open my door.
He doesn't clean after himself and he's always bringing different women into the house. One day I was working from my room and this girl opens the door, laughing, and asks me if my room was flatmate's, because it seems he told her that.
I washed my sheets twice that day. We talked and talked to him and he gets mad about it, telling us he's not living with mommy and daddy anymore, and to shove it.
The last party he threw made our elderly neighbours so uncomfortable that they came home to complain next day. These neighbours know our landlord, but we haven't heard about the guy yet.
Parties are a no-no in our contract, so I'm definitely stressed because I don't want the landlord to kick all of us because of this asshole.
He was supposed to be here for the last two years and then leave, as he was on one of those visas that make you go to school and only let you work part time.
Well, his visa is up and he shouldn't be here anymore. He told the other flatmate that he's saving money to pay for one of those courses at college so he can jump on a student visa and live here.
The other flatmate is so fed up with this shite that he's leaving at the end of the month. Wish I was so lucky, but my salary and savings won't give me such an opportunity, and besides, I like this place.
Some friends told me to report his illegal status anonymously so he will have to be deported, but I dismissed the idea, I would feel like a piece of crap if I do that.
Then today I come back from work and go to the disgusting bathroom I share with him and both sink and mirror are splashed with blood. Dried blood.
I asked him about it and he laughed it off, telling me a friend he invited last night (at 3am) was super drunk and hit a wall, so he used our bathroom, where I keep my personal stuff and women products, to wash it out. He did a great job...
What do you reckon I should do? I'm at wits end here, so fucking fed up of this guy. I don't want to involve the landlord because he's not around that much and I don't want to explore his bad side and lose my room. I'm so fucking tired.

2023.06.09 23:04 gallywas Success at Dallas 55 w/ proof of travel within 48H and locator number!
| I got our two passports for our minors on Thursday, 6/8/2023 from 55 Dallas. We were there by 8:45-9am and left with a passport in hand around 4pm. I won’t have time for questions so folks, please need to read what I took the time to write below. I used the screenshots and my observations below with 2 applications for minors, the other person was solo and later included some of the items I noted below. Probably useful for folks getting last minute appointments. This worked for me and I didn’t have issues. Folks who made assumptions that the office had ANY of their submitted paperwork, were scrambling to get stuff. Action: Do ALL of the application paperwork again, following the instructions from the site including making copies of what they ask for, and the passport photo. (I kept the singles after our April appointment.) Assume they can’t look at your paperwork via the locator number. They may be able to work with photo copies of proof of citizenship because you submitted the originals but I didn’t want to risk it. You need proof of citizenship for each applicant. (We ran out earlier this week to get duplicate certified copies of a birth certificate.) Must bring the applicant. YES! EVEN IF THEY ARE 3 DAY OLD TWIN BABIES OR A 15 yo kid. -Both parents on the Birth certificate OR the parent consent form that’s notarized from the application page section or other applicable parental consent forms. Fill out one for each minor applicant. THIS IS REQUIRED! Extra items to print: -screen shots of each applicant’s Locator number(s) -proof of travel within 48 hours with the individual’s name on the itinerary. (I had only one print out and it was okay.) Note: If you happen to buy a fully refundable international plane ticket in June but your application said your trip was in July, they won’t know if you later cancel that June trip. They just need proof of travel within 48 hours. (72 seems to apply only if you travel on Sunday or Fed. holiday.) I took a calculated risk to go Thursday with DOT Sunday, but also wanted Friday as an option if they couldn’t fit us in. Other: Big #1- Be kind to ALL the staff, from security to each person touching your paperwork. Everyone, but the children, were super stressed but pretty kind to one another. They do an amazing job moving a high volume of people through effectively and efficiently. I observed that the staff will do their best to help you problem solve if they can. Timeline: 8:59 arrival inside, past security checkpoint Inside, do not line up with the people with appointments. I was told to stand on the rug near the middle couches while the folks with appointments lined up by the wall when their times were called. 9:05 showed slip with my locator number 9:15 they brought groups of us to a separate room to wait. There were about 25 people in the room already. (The person providing the screenshots from earlier this week, appears to have been brought up in an early group with “appointments” or wedged in after a set of appointments.) Our paperwork was checked for the first time in this room. I did not see more folks come into this holding room after about 9:45 am. Eat snacks and other food in this room only, before you are guided up stairs. 10:05 am A woman came down and asked for people with travel today, or tomorrow and had them line up, then travel Sat. Those folks went up stairs. 11am they brought the Sunday travelers and anyone else they allowed to stay in the room who didn’t have appointments to head up to the processing room. The security is strict on no phone calls, photos or food and drink in that room and maintaining quiet so people can hear their numbers and processors. You can text but only one ear bud in allowed. Kids can use tablets but must have headphones or no volume. Think “crowded DMV” room of chairs and standing room only with about 6-12 processing windows. 11:26-12:09 We waited in line to see someone at the Appointment Checkin Window where my paperwork was reviewed again and I was assigned a number that started with an R. (reissue?) 1:00pm Called up to do paperwork with processor and took out credit card.(They are doing the computer work and charging you in about 10 minutes or less). They moved my fees over from my other application and then I paid $35 per application. I was given a slip to return between 1:30-3 but was told by security to just be back closer to 3. 1:15 finished at window. Grabbed lunch at McDonald’s across the street. 2:10 returned early to avoid a longer security line and just get into the building. IMPORTANT: Give your return slip to the security officer Inside who is inviting people upstairs for pickup. If they missed receiving it, there should be a box or a guard upstairs to take it. Apparently they use this to confirm you returned and pull your passport print. 3pm The room was very full as they got the rest of the waiting folks into the room, and stressed sitting in chairs as they b. They were calling names in chunks and serving them at different windows. 3:53 I noted the room was dramatically less full 4:05 our names called - signed received and checked the passports. No discrepancies. Large blue envelope returned original birth certs and passport as well as with note about if I happen to get a second one via mail. The original application paperwork will come back by mail later. 4:08 out the front door. Posting to pay it forward in case it can help others. I recognize this is not possible for most individuals and their situations. 4/7 application date 4/26 received Expedited processing and shipment selected Locator 11 Not received State reps contacted. State senator’s office called my local processing center with no appointments available until after the date of travel. 6/8 trip to Dallas, obtained passports Dot 6/11 submitted by gallywas to Passports [link] [comments] |

We will not let "Kiff" lose to preschool-shit, star-shit, cape-shit, and that hideously ugly Oceanside human skank that is Hailey Banks!:
#1,
#2,
#3
Us Kiffbros all shall boost "Kiff"'s steaming numbers over on Disney+! And kick out all of the Frenchmen & Frenchwomen who dare to get in the way of our Rodent goddess by using "Kiff" as a French word for "Like" over on Twitter (Seeing how Kiff will obviously be getting her name changed to something along the lines of "Kelly" in the French dub)!
Together, we shall help "Kiff" get 5 seasons (thus giving it the official record for "2nd Disney Channel Original Animated Series to last for 5 seasons" (1st being "Paul Rudish's Mickey Mouse" (2013–2019)) and an 80-minute Musical special.

2023.06.09 23:01 dumpsterfire3333 2 problems 2 questions. Gutter downspout and dryer vent.
I am pretty sure that the underground drain from my gutter downspouts out to the street, or perhaps AT the street further out is blocked. So I went out and squatted down to inspect where the downspout connects to the opening of that 4.5"black corrugated underground drain pipe. I did this while it was raining because every time it does rain, the whole side of the house gets flooded from this connection. Instead of finding water backing up from the opening, I found that much - if not all of this water was just coming from about a 1/2" gap where the bottom of the plastic tube on the end of the downspout was supposed to be inside the black drain pipe. I have no idea how this gap was created or how long it had been there but it looks like I need to find some sort of connector / coupling / fitting that will fill that gap without leaking. Can someone point me to what or where I might find such a thing?
But there was even more fun when I was squatting down there. It just so happens that the dryer vent (which I clean out regularly and just did so about a month ago) is exactly an inch from my face when I was down there at the drain pipe. And I was whacked by the powerful stench of a dead animal. I thought for a minute that something must have died inside the gutter downspout, but upon a few more unpleasant sniffs, I realized it was coming from the dryer vent opening. This makes me very sad because it is a MAJOR project to have to pull the dryer away from the wall and squeeze behind it to deal with that silver vent tube inside - not to mention I am dreading what I will find in there. So does anyone have any experience or advice on this second problem? Should I try to "clean out" the silver thing, or just toss the whole nightmare in the trash as-is and go buy a new one? Thanks for reading.

2023.06.09 22:56 bigM337 My spouse wants a list of the issues that make my belief in the truth claims impossible
So I wrote this. Recycled ideas, but eventually all of this will be cited. It's basically my own CES Letter. The formatting is weird because this is coming over from Notion.
I had to write this out to start my own deconstruction anyway, but giving it to my spouse will be interesting. Read it if you want. Critique it if you want. I just had to get this out into the universe.
- The concept that the Church can lie to you
- Rather than being told the entire truth about Joseph Smith’s death, we are told that he is innocent of any crime and that he went to deliver himself up. The truth of the matter is, Joseph Smith was in jail for destroying the property of William Law, who was creating a newspaper called the Nauvoo Expositor. He ordered the printing press be destroyed and violated the first amendment, as well as destroying another’s property. The newspaper exposed polygamy and many of the other immoralities of the Church. On the surface, this lie doesn’t seem egregious, but D&C 135 section mentions that Joseph was a martyr for the religion, and I was always taught this. However, he didn’t deliver himself up to be killed and it wasn’t because he was a “mormon”; it was because he broke the law and had angered a mob. All of this was a direct result of him practicing polygamy and yielding so much power.
- The method of translating the Book of Mormon was largely misrepresented to me as a youth, missionary, and young adult. I was always taught, whether through art or articles, that Joseph used the Gold Plates to translate the Book of Mormon.
- However, upon widespread discovery of further quotes and scrutiny, in 2014 the Church admitted that the translation was done through a rock and a hat. This is justified by quoting the Book of Mormon where it talks about bringing forth a stone to shine forth in the darkness. (Alma 37:23-24). The methods of translation accounts differ from each other. Martin Harris saying they were done by sitting across the table. Oliver Cowdery saying it was done by the urim and thummim or two stones and spectacles. To be clear, I am okay with some ambiguity surrounding the translation, or it being by the power of God. What I’m not okay with is the church deceiving how it was done until the internet era forced them to release the Gospel Topic Essays on this subject.
- The implementation of polygamy. a. Left ambiguous for a reason. How Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, Heber C. Kimball and many other high ranking church members took many wives including teenage wives. The church’s essay on this topic refers to Helen Mar Kimball, a 14 year old, as “several months before her 15th birthday.” In fact, they even say that Helen said it was for “eternity alone” but that is an out of context poem from Helen’s journal. There is no proof of sexual relations, but there are proof in many other relatoinships, including Fanny Alger, Joseph’s first “wife” that Oliver Cowdery called a filthy affair. He was excommunicated partly due to that statement. b. Joseph Smith wrote a letter to 19-year old Nancy Rigdon propositioning her to marry him after she denied his appeal in 1842. This letter is quoted in General Conference many times over the years, “Happiness is the object and design of our existence, and will be the end thereof if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.” He then goes on to tell her that we cannot obey the commandments if we don’t know them and what seems wrong, can actually be right in certain circumstances. He quotes the times God has contradicted Himself in the scriptures. This letter is gross. Note that it comes right before the plural marriage revelation D&C 132. c. Joseph claimed that an angel with a drawn sword made him marry Zina Huntington Jacobs, despite her engagement to Henry Jacobs. He sent Henry on missions. She did stay faithful and was eventually sealed to Brigham Young, who also subsequently sent Henry Jacobs on missions. d. This doesn’t even take into account the actions of preceeding prophets who were married to dozens of women, sealed to hundreds, and many of them were underage. Wilford Woodruff for instance sealed himself to a 6 year old girl who had passed away, inexplicably. Maybe he didn’t know? Maybe he did? Who knows.
- D&C 132- Joseph Smith was sealed to over 20 wives before being sealed to Emma. He denied being polygamous publicly multiple times and the relief society (of which, Emma was president) wrote a letter condemning polygamy, while one of the presidency members was sealed to Joseph.
- Law of Sarah was violated before it was ever implemented
- Joseph performing a second marriage to the Whitney sisters after Emma approved it.
- Women must be virgins, while Joseph was married to other married women (at least 2).
- Abraham was not commanded by God to practice plural marriage, he was asked by Sarah to marry Hagoth because Sarah was barren.
- Additionally, Jacob condemns polygamy in the Book of Mormon but then God okays it in the D&C 132, both of them specifically citing the examples of Soloman and David.
- Plural marriage is the “new and everlasting covenant” implying that plural marriage in the celestial kingdom will be the new and everlasting covenant and required.
- 5. Historicity of the Book of Abraham There is an entire Gospel Topics Essay on this but the background is as follows. A guy named Michael Chandler shows up in Kirland with mummies and a bunch of scrolls. They were unearthed by Napoleon’s raiding of the Egyptian catacombs. Joseph believes that they are scrolls that contained writings of Abraham. He begins translation in 1835 and publishes it in May of 1842. The odds that these mummies, coming from a salesman who had a lot to gain, containing the written word of Abraham has always seemed really fortunate. In the Pearl of Great Price, the heading says they are penned by “the hand of Abraham” but according to scholars in and out of the church, they were written much later. “These fragments date to between the third century B.C.E. and the first century C.E., long after Abraham lived.” Not only is it not written by Abraham’s hand, it is also not anything to do with Abraham. In Joseph’s time, the Rosetta Stone had not been widely discovered. He began translating this book and now, experts know that these are standard funerary texts. The Facsimiles (pictures) have nothing to do with the sacrifice of Abraham. Everyone virtually agrees that what is on the remains of the scroll (most of which was lost in the Chicago fire but then recovered), is not what Joseph translated. This casts a large shadow of doubt on Joseph’s ability to translate. The Church is admitting that Joseph translated incorrectly. The only way to reconcile this is that Joseph used these scrolls to channel the Spirit to record what is in the Book of Abraham today. The doctrines in Abraham largely expand on the Genesis story but go deeper in doctrines about plurality of Gods and the creation of the universe and stars. Some of this goes against the Book of Mormon’s view of God. The Authenticity of the Book of Mormon
- This is arguably the largest domino that needs to stay in place. Here are a few quotes demonstrating the absolute necessity of the Book of Mormon being an authentic history of the peoples on this continent.
- “The Book of Mormon is God’s compelling witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ, the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith, and the absolute truth of this Church.” - Tad R. Callister
- “The Book of Mormon is the most important religious text to be revealed from God to man ‘since the writings of the New Testament were compiled nearly two millennia ago.’ Joseph Smith declared the Book of Mormon to be “the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion.” It is the only book that the Lord Himself has testified to be true.” - President Nelson
- “I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies…and if he or she leaves this Church, it must be done by crawling over or under or around the Book of Mormon to make that exit. In that sense the book is what Christ Himself was said to be: “a stone of stumbling, … a rock of offence,” a barrier in the path of one who wishes not to believe in this work.” - Jeffrey R. Holland.
- "All that we have, all that we do hinge on the truth of that account of the boy Joseph Smith. If it is true, then everything that we have in this Church is true and is more precious and worth more than anything else on earth. If it is false, we are engaged in the greatest fraud that was ever perpetrated on earth.” - Gordon B Hinckley
- So with all that being said, this is my biggest stumbling block. I will begin with my own issues with the book that happened long before I was ever introduced to anything outside of approved Church material.
- The Sermon on the Mount given to the Nephites in 3 Nephi matches almost exactly to the one given in Matthew, with slight changes. He sets up a church similar to the one set up with Peter. But, the only issue is years later, Joseph Smith writes the JST and corrects different things in the Matthew version of the Sermon. But, if the Book of Mormon is the most correct book on earth, wouldn’t the writings have been exactly what the Savior meant?
- 2 Nephi 3 - Book of Mormon writes Joseph into the text relating a prophecy given to Joseph in Egypt, saying that a choice seer will be raised up and he will be named the Joseph after his father. 2 Nephi 3: 14-16
- There is a huge time lapse between Jarom and Omni to get us into Mosiah. 399 BC to 130 BC. The prophets basically write nothing and it seems like it’s just a transition to get to Mosiah.
- Ammon chopping off a ton of arms and all the people bring them to the king. The story of Ammon in general is crazy. The King is struck down for 3 days and his wife thinks he is dead. Then, Ammon converts this king who then goes and rescues Ammon’s brothers from another king.
- Other direct copies from the New Testament and Paul specifically found in the Book of Mormon. Moroni 7 is basically the same phrasing and concepts taught in 1 Corinthians 13. 2 Nephi 4:17 says “O wrteched man that I am” matches exactly to Romans 7:24.
- Alma the Younger’s story mirrors Paul the apostles history almost exactly. Both are destroying the church, get struck down by an Angel, go on to become amazing missionaries and even both appear before King’s and wicked people.
- The concepts taught in the Book of Mormon are basically christian. They are practicing Christianity as soon as middle of Mosiah, which is like 100BC. They are baptizing and confirming with the Holy Ghost. However, since Christ hadn’t fulfilled the law of Moses and they should’ve been practicing the Mosaic law. The book contains basically zero Mosaic and Hebrew traditions, which Lehi and his family would have been sharply familiar with. Instead, they practice Christianity before Jesus had even been born or practiced the Atonement.
- Joseph Smith almost never quotes from it. In fact, I’ve searched and searched and only found him reference it maybe once or twice. If this book is so important, shouldn’t it had been quoted from extensively. It doesn’t become a huge focus until basically the 1980s with Ezra Taft Benson started “flooding the earth with the Book of Mormon.” I’ve read Brigham Young’s entire Discourses of Brigham Young and he rarely mentions the Book of Mormon. While this proves very little, it just intensifies the idea to me that Joseph wrote it and did not consider it authentic scripture, even for himself.
- King Zedekiah Problem - The timeline of when Nephi left Jerusalem in the reign of King Zedekiah in preparation for the destruction of Jerusalem. But, King Nebuchednezzar had already invaded Judah twice by 599BC., two years prior to the Book of Mormon. He then Installed Zedekiah (formerly known as Mattaniah) as King of Jerusalem (2 Kings 24:11-18). So what does this mean?
- I will leave out the potential influences here because I do not think they are helpful nor likely to be true source material for the Book of Mormon. I think they are largely speculation and created just to create doubt without much validity or true sources. Do we know if Joseph accessed these works? Not really. But, it’s possible. There are a myriad of other problems with the Book of Mormon when examined scientifically, but that doesn’t really bother me so much. The church has an essay on DNA of Israelites not being in “Lamanite” or native american blood, despite many church leaders preaching that for years. It’s even included in the Book of Mormon title page until like 2006 or something. Additionally, Joseph Smith almost never quotes or teaches from the Book of Mormon. If it’s the most correct book of any on the earth, why is he not basing his sermons off these stories and scriptures?
- The Book of Mormon require that 3 key events from the Bible be literal events: a global flood in the times of Noah that covered the entire earth, Adam and Eve in the garden, and different languages occuring because God cursed people at the Tower of Babel.
- When I read the Book of Mormon, if I view it from a purely protestant view, it matches up doctrinally. In fact, it matches more purely with a presbyterian or methodist view of the atonement and doctrines (including the original trinitarian concepts taught in the Book before changes by Joseph Smith in 1837, eight years after the Book of Mormon was published and his first vision account that mentions God and Jesus being separate beings)
- The Charles Anthon Story is posed as a faith promoting story and prophecy fulfillment of Isaiah 29:11-12, where the learned wouldn’t be able to read a sealed book. So here’s the Church Narrative as found in JSH.
- Once i take off my believing member hat and look at this story objectively, it looks to me like complete and total BS. I am honestly insulted that this was taught and passed off to me as some amazing prophecy of Isaiah that was passed on to me.
Disavowed teachings and behavior of former prophets and leaders. - Brigham Young
- Adam-God theory was taught in the temple and considered straight doctrine by the “prophet” Brigham Young.
- Blood Atonement was also taught in the early Utah days
- Brigham taught that no man can receive the highest exaltation without taking on extra wives.
- Brigham young definitely was in approval (either before or after) of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which is the slaughtering of innocent immigrants heading west. They luckily spared the smallest children and raised them Mormon. He scapegoated John D Lee who suffered the death penalty, despite being rewarded with “wives” by Brigham Young prior to that. Hmmmm
- Blacks and the Priesthood
- So so so many quotes could go under here talking about how black people would never receive priesthood or temple covenants. The list could go on. I don’t need to repeat them all but in the Gospel Topics Essays, the Church disavows all racist teachings from the past.
- Book of Mormon and Abraham still talk about the curse of dark skin. The Lamanites are cursed but then will become “white and delightsome” as they repent (according to Spencer W. Kimball)
- How many prophets were completely wrong on this topic? Even after the Civil Rights movement which was going on 15 years earlier. The Church always seeems to be a step behind.
- Polygamy
- Again, I could write a book on how much early leaders emphasized the heavenly requirement for a man to have multiple wives.
- Wilford Woodruff was sealed to like a 200 something wives on his birthday, including a six year old who had passed away. This can be found on FamilySearch
- The leaders of the Church didn’t stop practicing polygamy until around 1910, which is 20 years after the Manifesto, forced upon them by the US Government. This policy change wasn’t inspiration — to was a matter of the Mormons keeping their stuff or not.
- Science
- Age of the Earth — Joseph Smith says that the earth has a temporal existence of 7,000 years before it will receive it’s eternal glory. This was a common thought back then and ties back into the Old Testament timeline. I was taught this in Seminary. Going back to Adam and Seth, then to Abraham and to modern day. It all lines up so that the Second Coming will be happening soon.
- Adam + Eve — This one is very hard for me to get past because the proof is indisputable: human life did not begin 6,000 years ago by two human beings. There was physical death long before it was introduced by the partaking of the forbidden fruit. It is fact. To deny it would be like denying that the Earth is round or orbits the Sun. So is this an allegory? Well Joseph Smith down to current general authorities have taught that this is LITERAL. The temple clearly emphasizes this. This is something BIG to get wrong. Considering Joseph Smith taught that it happened in the garden of Eden which was in Missouri.
- Noah’s Ark — This has to be literal as it is in the Book of Mormon as a fact. It’s also been “revealed” to have been a literal, global flood that covered the earth and cleansed the earth of all inhabitants. We also have doctrine in our church that says modern day revelation has confirmed this fact. But, this “story” is largely based on the Babylonian tale “The Epic of Gilgamesh.” It was recorded before the Hebrew Bible recorded the tale of Noah. The stories are earily similar and there are so many throughout other cultures of a great flood. Maybe that makes it more likely? Or maybe it was just a prevailing thought in that time period. Either way, scientific evidence knows that Noah’s Ark never happened because a huge flood never happened. And ask yourself, how in the world would they get all the animals on a boat? Is this really realistic?
- Tower of Babel — This is the genesis of the Jaredites. The Lord was confounding the language of the people, so the Brother of Jared goes and asks that they are spared. Eventually they are led to the Americas (which has a host of other problems). But, this story has to be literal because that’s exactly what’s happening in the Jaredite civilization to lead them to cross the ocean. But language evolved over tens of thousands of years and had nothing to do with a tower in around 2500 BC.
- Evolution — This fact goes along with Adam and Eve. Modern day prophets have disavowed this fact. In fact, Joseph Fielding Smit said “If evolution is true, the church is false” in Doctrines of Salvation, which was written while he was the prophet.
- Sexual Assault Cover Ups - This one is pretty self explanatory. There are hundreds of occasions and the most recent ones in the news are pretty disgusting. The fact that the Church didn’t report, and had systems in place to protect itself rather than the victims, makes me sick.
- First Vision Accounts - In many Church media films and the way I was taught at a young age, Joseph had the first vision and then was mocked by the people of Palmyra for believing in visions. I had not idea that this was not the case. In fact, Joseph never wrote anything down until 1832. The accounts from 1832, 1835, 1838, and 1842 paint a picture of someone who was expanding, molding, and letting this vision evolve. The reasons why he went out to pray in the trees changes. First, it’s to receive a remission of his sins. He also says in that account that he’s already concluded that the church’s of his day are fallen. Then it evolves. He also says the Lord appears. Then it’s angels. Then it’s the Lord and His Father. He mentions that it had never entered his heart that they were all wrong in the Canonized JSH we have in the Pearl of Great Price. But, then he says he already knew they were wrong in earlier versions? In fact, Asa Wild and Norris Stearns have visions in 1815 and 1823 in the same area as Joseph Smith and the verbiage used is similar. Norris Stearns says, “At length, as I lay apparently upon the brink of eternal woe, seeing nothing but death before me, suddenly there came a sweet flow of the love of God to my soul, which gradually increased. At the same time, there appeared a small gleam of light in the room, above the brightness of the sun, then at his meridian, which grew brighter and brighter: As this light and love increased, my sins began to separate, and the Mountain [of sin] removed towards the east. At length, being in an ecstasy of joy, I turned to the other side of the bed, (whether in the body or out I cannot tell, God knoweth) there I saw two spirits, which I knew at the first sight. But if I had the tongue of an Angel I could not describe their glory, for they brought the joys of heaven with them. One was God, my Maker, almost in bodily shape like a man. His face was, as it were a flame of Fire, and his body, as it had been a Pillar and a Cloud. In looking steadfastly to discern features, I could see none, but a small glimpse would appear in some other place. Below him stood Jesus Christ my Redeemer, in perfect shape like a man-His face was not ablaze, but had the countenance of fire, being bright and shining. His Father’s will appeared to be his! All was condescension, peace, and love!”
Ultimately, all of these issues paint a picture, right? The character flaws and mistranslations of Joseph Smith, along with the setting in which he was raised all take away from his prophetic ability. There are more issues that I haven’t even touched on. LGBT issues, the treatment of women, the kinderhook plates, etc. There are more issues touched on in the CES Letter. But, these are things that stick in my mind when I try to imagine believing the Church is true again.
I believe Joseph Smith started writing the Book of Mormon to make money. Then, when it got close to publishing, he decided to start a religion. With the help of Sidney Rigdon, the Church grew and he introduced different aspects of "the Restoration" and eventually the power went to his head.
Being "prophet" brought him three things key for cult leaders. Money. Sex. Power. He got his living taken care of and people built him a house. He had around 40 polygamous wives and preyed on underage girls. He was dubbed king of the world by the Council of the 50 and was Mayor of Nauvoo.
How can I conclude anything other than him being a cult leader? This barely even touches on Brigham and the subsequent prophets that made huge mistakes.
