After voting "False" and commenting in a Facebook poll titled "Do you think the book of mormon is true or false?" the following message appeared in my inbox, from a young man named Jordan:
"Hey, if its ok, I would like to help you as you read the Book of Mormon. You can message me if you have any questions, and I will answer them to the best of my abilities. I am no genius on the doctorine in it, but I will ask my Bishop, my young mens leader, and God. If its ok with you that is."
I decided to take the him up on his generous offer, and responded:
"Okay, I'm only on the title page, but already I'm having problems. It says "An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared." I'm really confused, because Subway sandwich shops weren't even around back then, let alone their spokesman Jared. Is Subway a Mormon restaurant? Please help."
Unfortunately, I have yet to receive any further correspondence from Jordan.
