I have been on the BMAF archaeology forum,but this is my first time here. I love the Book of Mormon but am not an LDS member. I was RLDS for several years, but as you know, it has gone into apostacy and no longer teaches the original doctrines of the church.Those of us who believe in the orthodox teachings are now members of independent restoration branches. There are several factions in Independence, and I attend the congregation in Springfield. I grew up in northern Missouri where a lot of the early Mormon history took place. I also lived thirteen years in Independence. I have many good memories of the church, but it is just not the same. Thanks Robert
