10 Most Problematic Words in the Book of Mormon
Additional Notes:
Whore: Here the Book of Mormon calls all churches except Mormonism - Whores.Enticing: It says that God intentionally made Native Americans repulsive to others.
Smote: Nephi a teenager has a thought come into his head... and cut off the head of a drunk man.
Adieu: A French word shows up in a quote from 1000 years before French existed.
Shiz: A guy with no head, pushes himself up.
Satyr: A mythical creature is mentioned in the Bible and poorly quoted by Joseph Smith
Chariots: No evidence that they ever existed in North or South America - or Horses.
Babel: The Tower of Babel is a myth but the LDS church has to accept it as fact because of this.
Joseph: Supposedly Joseph of Egypt told about Joseph Smith 4000 years before he was born.
Cureloms: The LDS Church says Joseph used what was in his experience to give names to animals in the Book of Mormon, so maybe horses were really tapirs but here he has a word that does not exist suggesting he really was doing a word for word translation... or making it all up.

Birthplace of Every LDS Apostle Since 1916
Summary:
In the past 100 years only three members called to the Quorum of the 12 Apostles have been born outside of the United States. Only ONE was not an American Citizen.
John Widstoe was born in Norway and immigrated to the United States when he was 10.
Charles Callis was born in Ireland and immigrated to the United States at age 10 as well.
Only Dieter Uchtdorf who was born in what is now the Czech Republic but as a German citizen wasn't an American when called to the Q-12.
With two vacancies in the Quorum of the Twelve after the deaths of Robert Hales and Thomas Monson, LDS Church members will excited to see who fills those spots.
Will new Church President Russell M. Nelson continue the pattern of Thomas S. Monson and call only super rich white men to the Quorum?
Will there be the first truly Hispanic member?
Will Asia or Africa will represented in the Q-12 for the first time?
Will Nelson solidify his hard-line stance by calling very conservative men to the Quorum?
General Conference will be March 31 this year.
