Joseph Smith:"Mr. Cowdery, please pull up a chair!"

Post by _kairos »

If you look at the orginal Book of Mormon manuscript, it does not contain lots of line through text , added words etc that one would expect if there was a rock in a hat process going on or even if Oliver was sitting across from Joseph- in those scenarios it would be expected by me that lots of words called out by Joseph Smith would be misunderstood, words left out, wrong words added so that Oliver would be constantly making changes and the manuscript would be like a redacted FISA warrant!
What about Oliver and Joseph sitting next to each other when they restarted at Mosiah and Joseph begins to tell the story say in paragraphs- Oliver pays attentions says "Ok" or says to Joseph "what was that guy's name? " or "how about this or that"-only then does Oliver write it down and on they go to the next part of the story. Side by side collaboration and joint manuscript building by OC and Joseph Smith would result in fewer deletions,mark throughs etc. and not require a hidden script or Spaulding document- the KJV would be handy with Joseph Smith telling OC to copy Isaiah or whatever onto the manuscript.

what do you think?

ps- the first 116 pages were done differently with Joseph Smith pretending for all "witnesses" to see through the U and T and rock in the hat (he and OC also pulled this stunt when others were present but went back to side by side collaboration when alone).

Ah, that's the great thing about Stone in Hat translations. Horny Holy Joe sees text, Oliver "I'm his BUTT idiot BUDDY Cousin" Cowdery writes it down. If Horny Holy Joe or Oliver "I'm his BUTT idiot BUDDY Cousin" Cowdery gets it wrong, the text remains in the hat until corrected. How to correct it, throw away the sheet of text and start all over. That way your Draft is your Final version. No editing needed.

Thanks Mormon man god and Mormon bastard jebus.
Revelation 2:17 . . give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Thank Google GOD for her son eBay, you can now have life eternal with laser engraving. . oh, and a seer stone and save 10% of your life's earning as a bonus. See you in Mormon man god Heaven Bitches!!. Bring on the Virgins
