11. The craziest thing about the Urim and Thumim

Is Joseph needed them to translate the Book of Mormon from the golden plates... that’s what I was taught growing up and taught to people when I was a missionary. The church told us to teach people he used the gold plates, Urim and Thumim etc.

Now they admit Joseph looked in a hat and his special rock he scammed people with translated the book. No plates or Urim and Thumim needed. Sorry Nephi you didn’t need to kill anyone to take the plates... they weren’t even needed!
