However, this creates a "mutually exclusive dilemma" for Mormonism. Why?
Because, if the Church's current position is correct, that

"the history of the Lamanites after the close of the Book of Mormon

record is a matter of speculation,"

IT MUST FOLLOW THAT

all the hundreds of "official declarations" by the Mormon Church, its past Prophets,

Apostles ,etc., concerning the aforementioned historical Lamanite narrative, were

100% FALSE!!!

That, my friends, is no small thing when one considers the fact that the

members of Mormonism have always been told they are being led by

God's true and only Prophets and Apostles on the face of the earth.

Such a long record of inconsistency (over 170 years) by the Lord's self

proclaimed anointed,...well, frankly, it simply doesn't pass the "smell test."

The enormity of this "revisionist history" by the Mormon Church can

only be fully appreciated as the reader begins to examine the hundreds of

"official" Church quotes, excerpts and statements, they're able to find in this

blog's archive.

Preface

Definition of the word “Official”

1. prescribed or recognized as authorized (Webster’s Dictionary)

3. approved by authority; authorized. (Your Dictionary)

Synonyms for the word “Official”

Some of the content I’ve included in this blog's archive required a "judgement

call" on my part as to whether or not it would qualify by definition as official

and in the proper context. Nevertheless, even if some of the archive's content

was later deemed to be “questionably official” and was to be eliminated in the

future, I am reasonably confident that easily over 90% of this archive's content

would still contain pertinent "official" content that should be chronicled for

future reference.

Needless to say, since I am the sole author, editor and proofreader of this

blog's archive I anticipate there will be errors (i.e. in grammar, spelling,

possibly my judgement on what qualifies as “official,” etc.) that need to be

addressed. I would appreciate any and all such mistakes being

brought to my attention so I can make corrections at the earliest possible date.

Also, reader additions to the archive's content (accompanied with

references) are welcomed and appreciated along with suggestions for

improving this blog.

Introduction

“Indian, of course, for every LDS child knows

that an Indian is called a Lamanite.”*

The date: Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018. The location: The (Mormon) Church History

Library in Salt Lake City. The event: A press conference to announce and

promote the release of Volume 1, “The Standard of Truth 1815–1846,” of the

Church’s new four volume narrative of the Church’s history, “Saints: The Story

of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days (or for our purpose, simply,

"Saints.")

At this press conference, Elder Quentin L. Cook (a member of the Quorum of

the Twelve Apostles, for the Mormon Church) said,

"We feel that having a total picture that is transparent and tells the

whole story, tells true accounts, that seen in context, almost

everything will be faith-promoting and build faith. So many things have

been taken out of context, and seen as in a minuscule way. This [“Saints”]

now allows a complete picture…"**

Does Volume 1, “The Standard of Truth...”

tell the whole story, portray an honest context

and is transparent?

It is rather ironic that the first volume of this four volume set is entitled, “The

Standard of Truth...” Why ironic?

Because,

1) this first volume of “Saints” (the Joseph Smith era) makes absolutely no

direct mention of the familial connection Mormonism has taught its members

the vast majority of its history, between the Native American Indians

(and Polynesians) to the Israelites of the Book of Mormon.

The significance of this omission is evidenced by the hundreds of "official"

Church quotes, excerpts, statements, etc. contained in this blog's archive that

identify the Native American Indians (and Polynesians) as the lineal/familial
