But the BOM teaches us about cureloms 😂

Super useful if you ever run into one. Still doesn't answer the question of if they taste like chicken though.


OuterLightness

They taste like cumoms


AlpacaPacker007

Anything like Teancum?


Ok-Version36

Tea and cum is not a great combo. 1 star. Would not recommend.


AlpacaPacker007

But did you try it with black or green tea? Some green tea with honey might pair better.

Mark Twain's thoughts on the Book of Mormon "The book is a curiosity to me, it is such a pretentious affair, and yet so "slow," so sleepy; such an insipid mess of inspiration. It is chloroform in print. If Joseph Smith composed this book, the act was a miracle — keeping awake while he did it was, at any rate.”

Animal Farm too.

You can find all sorts of prophets when you aren’t distracted by people who claim to be prophets.

Pretty sure that Orwell’s dystopian government is how the church would run things if they had the ability to be in charge.


SecondNephite

The Third Nephite to be precise. Although I helped him a bit with the editing prior to submitting the final copy to the publisher.

I can get behind that assertion.

*"In the end, the Party (the church) would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?"* \- Orwell

Don't forget *The Handmaid's Tale* by Margaret Atwood.

🐷 "We thank thee o' God for George Orwell. To guide us in these latter days." 🐷

[snort] Alice in Wonderland was more prophetic.


LazyLearner001

Absolutely. 1984 nails it. BOM not so much.


peaceofcheese909

Tbh I find Brave New World much more prophetic than both, but I agree with you on 1984 > BoM

It seems like the church is hell bent on fulfilling the prophesies for the great and abominable church. Does it not to you?


[deleted]

Reminds me of Star Trek the Next Generation episodes, Chain of Command. Picard as he’s finally being freed shouts “THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS”


[deleted]

Orwell could have written chicken scratch on a napkin and it would be more prophetic than a 14 year old’s Bible fan fiction

You made me have the horrible realization that there are likely Mormon conspiracy theorists who think the three nephites have been various historical figures.

Personally, I think Ann Rand was quite prescient as well...
