BOOK OF MORMON SETTING. Many Latter-day Saints still believe what the prophets have taught about the New York Cumorah/Ramah. President Nelson: "Good inspiration is based upon good information." Here, we share good information from original sources that corroborates the prophets. We support the Church policy of neutrality, which promotes unity by recognizing multiple working hypotheses. We encourage all interested parties to do the same, all in the pursuit of clarity, charity and understanding.
While I'm fine with people believing and advocating whatever they want, that doesn't mean I feel obligated or compelled to agree with anyone else.
When scholars present an alternative to the teachings of the prophets, I prefer to accept what the prophets have taught, particularly when their teachings are corroborated and vindicated by external evidence.
I think people should make their own informed decisions.
Here are 3 slides from a presentation I gave a few years ago.
