You can totally trust your feelings God gave them to us for that very reason. They are an indicator of wether we are coming unto God and accepting his Truth or not. If we are we experience the fruits of the spirit if we are not we experience the opposite. God would not leave us without a guidance system that would lead us back to him. That is the grace He gives us through holy Eucharist. Grace is associated with Charisma the power God has to draw us into Him.
 
The reason people say they can’t trust their feelings is because they are clueless as to how they work and what language they use. Psychopaths may be an exception to this as they seem to experience a broken emotion system.

Well, it seems so very random. Why would a man have to hide golden plates from other people? Why wouldn’t he want other people to see them? I’m afraid the conclusion I draw from it is that it was pure invention, but that’s just my opinion, of course.
 
At that time Joseph was running around with a group of guys who where money diggers. They would have stolen them and taken away the privladge of having their translation come to be. Joseph himself was denied possession of them for years until God saw his heart to be right,

The mysterious plates that nobody actually ever saw or held.

The plates that Joe supposedly put in a sack and ran with for two miles, jumping over logs and swinging at the bad guys. The plates that, if they did exist, would have had to weight at least 150 pounds. Yeah, like I believe that whopper. Joe was a liar. We DO know that about him. Even the church admits it.

More Mormon lies.
 
There are witnesses that claim they hefted the plates. Others clams to have seen them with spiritual eyes. His wife expressed no doubt that he had them and for a woman so scorned by polygamy to not rat out her wife is true commitment and loyalty something to be in awe of not condem. We as christian’s applaud faith. Believing and not seeing and yet you are seeking to condem that concept because God employed that in this situation. Why does God not just come down and say here I am now you no longer need faith. He doesn’t because without faith we stop coming to Him for answers.

If you really want answers to these questions I will share with you what and how the Lord has taught them to me I can only speak for myself and from my perspective.

They hefted the “plates” covered with canvas. And they estimated the weight to be 40-60 pounds. That is total nonsense for gold plates. It would have weighed much more than that. Emma never saw them or hefted them. According to LDS, faith is “to hope for things which are not seen, but which are true.” The golden plates story is not true, so you can’t have faith in it.

The Lord has taught me well enough. Thanks for the offer.
 
I thought you had real questions about mormons I guess I was mistaken. Sorry. I am happy that God is teaching you, how wonderful, Praise God.
 
I was a very active Mormon for 57 years. The only question I have for Mormons is, “why all the lies?” Trust me, I KNOW Mormonism.
 
So you really only want to talk about mormons not know them, understand them, truly have your questions answered and become one with them and God. You don’t want to let go of your anger and your feelings of betrayal? Ok you have that right. I love you, peace be with you. It sounds like you are hungry for it. From the Mormon part of me I am so sorry for any pain I have caused because of my ignorance.

I already know Mormons. I was one. I know them intimately. I know the doctrines intimately. I taught Gospel Doctrine for many years and I was a very good teacher. I taught seminary. I served two missions. I was a sealer in temple. I served in five bishoprics. Most of my friends are Mormons. All of my family, hundreds of them, are Mormons. I get preached to all the time by them. I had emails about general conference talks from this past weekend that I should listen to. And I DO listen to their talks and read their uninvited literature. It is all good because it serves to solidify my knowledge of what is right and what isn’t. What is to know and understand that I don’t already know and understand? And as far as having my questions answered, they don’t answer questions. You get excommunicated for asking questions. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE. I also have been in a number of high council courts. I know the drill.
 
Do you know me? Would you like to know me and how I have found peace with a church that I to believed lied but may have had their reasons fear, ignorance, protection. There is a reason God led me to talk to you. I am the best at what God has to offer you right now. Take me or leave me I am simply a tool.

I can’t give you what you need you have to use your agency and ask. I noticed above that you had a long list of questions which would you prefer answers first?
 
Okay. Why was it okay for Joseph Smith to marry other men’s wives? If I were an active member of my ward and temple worthy, would I be allowed to be sealed to another married woman in my ward and have sex with her? What if she agreed? And if it’s not okay, why not? When did that policy change? Please back up your answer with scriptures.
