muahahaha.
Than if you are really meaning what you say I am sorry to hear that your faith was stolen from you at the hands of Antimormon literature. "Those who seek to disprove the church will do it by finding the weakness of members and exploiting it."

I would appreciate arguing with both eyes open if you know what I mean I will not deny anything that you say that comes from your religious beliefs if you do not deny any that are in mine. (And by deny I mean deny listening to)

Interesting in other words mormons asking forgiveness for being mormons huh I do not trust these kind of people.

I do not always have time to read all the posts I try to take them one at a time not moving too far ahead just to know where I left off.

Your wrong now because my Branch president just bought a copy so they have not discontinued their production.

Your lack of knowledge about these changes does not void their existence.
I would like a Church endorsed site that lists these changes.

You will not find a church-endorsed site that lists these changes because they would not want to lose your tithes, Link.

And, no one "stole" my faith. I read and studied and learned the church was full of lies.

http://www.irr.org/mit/changingscrips.html

this site has actual scans of the original 1830 publication, and you can compare it side by side with your modern version.

So you took the word of Anti mormons. They do lead a convincing argument don't they but I suggest you find the copy of the book of Mormon from Joseph's day and study that.
