The other day the page views on this blog crossed the 1 million threshold. That means there have been over 2 million views of my blogs so far. That doesn't count the various websites that reproduce the information here (which is fine with me).
Apparently a lot of people are sharing the content. The most common feedback I get is that "it all makes sense."
Most Latter-day Saints naturally accept what Joseph and Oliver said about the origin and setting of the Book of Mormon. They were clear, direct, and unambiguous about how Joseph translated the engravings on the plates by means of the Urim and Thummim that came with the plates. They and their contemporaries and successors were clear, direct, and unambiguous about the New York Cumorah/Ramah.
That's why certain LDS scholars resort to sophisticated arguments and rhetorical tactics to persuade faithful Latter-day Saints to reject what Joseph and Oliver taught and instead embrace M2C and SITH.

I've been told that if I recorded the content of this blog on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc., there would be ten or twenty times as much engagement. That would require far more time than I have available, so it's not likely I'll do it.
Besides, lots of people are producing content of their own that focuses on what Joseph and Oliver said all along, all in the pursuit of clarity, charity and understanding.
Keep up the good work!
