This is from 1988 if there are any fun changes to look for.
I have a 1962 edition of Widstoe’s Priesthood and Church Government and a full set of church history from around the same time too.
Not an ExMo, but have a little bit of a hyperfixation. I’ve always kinda wanted someone to knock so I can talk to them about the Salamander letter and the Book of Abraham.
The entire Mark Hoffman story is wild.
Like, if the letter had been genuine - that would imply that Mormonism was false? But they were just going to buy it and hide it?
The entire story seems to insinuate that the church higher ups know that Joseph Smith was a liar and a conman. That and the Book of Abraham just don’t leave any room for someone to rationally believe in Mormonism.
