pam Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 There was the Endowment House but that wasn't a temple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nope. Another hint. It is a trick question. But it was/is indeed a temple, not the endowment house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they were all used as substitute names in many of the published revelations. pam and NeedleinA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, not temple trivia, but...In early church history, what do the names Enoch, Ahashbah and Pelegoram all have in common with each other? I think it has something to do with the D&C and original names if my memory serves me but I can't remember anything more than that.

NeedleinA Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Winners! Winners! Turkey Dinners! (no leftovers from the Chicken dinner, sorry) "Some of the earliest revelations received by Joseph were directed at specific individuals in the Church. During the winter of 1831-32, secular newspapers in Ohio, after acquiring some of the revelations, began ridiculing Church leaders whose names were mentioned. To lessen embarrassment to his officers, Joseph began in March 1832 to identify certain individuals in revelations by code names. Joseph himself became "Enoch". He gave such names as "Ahashdah" to Newel Whitney and "Pelegoram" to Sidney Rigdon. Years later the real names were added in parentheses and the 1981 edition of the D&C no longer listed the names at all."

Just_A_Guy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) What I've heard is that code names were also sometimes used in revelations dealing with the United Order or Church-initiated business ventures, for fear that enemies of the Church might try to torpedo the plans by filing strike suits against their principals.

NeedleinA Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Okay, one more. Don't want to give my source yet, in case someone cheats... What ever became of the stone box that held the golden plates? Could you travel to Hill Cumorah and find it today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Seems like it fell apart and washed away. NeedleinA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever became of the stone box that held the golden plates? Could you travel to Hill Cumorah and find it today? In 1875 David Whitmer said it had been washed to the bottom of the hill, and a Smith family acquaintance said the stones had been removed as of 1893.

NeedleinA Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Well it appears I need to find some other trivia that is harder. Correct again! "Often ignored in LDS history is the fate of the stone box in which the golden plates were deposited on Hill Cumorah and to which Joseph was led in 1827. Once the plates were removed, neither the prophet nor anyone else appeared interested in the fate of the stone box itself. Almost fifty years later David Whitmer was interviewed by a Chicago Times reporter who wrote that "three times has he [Whitmer] been at the hill Cumorah and seen the casket (box) that contained the tablets and the seer-stone. Eventually the casket had been washed down to the foot of the hill, but it was to be seen when he last visited the historic place." JAG's post would add even additional info on the stones being removed as of 1893. We need Carborendum back with his play on words trivia.
