Is There Scientific Proof Authenticating The Book of Mormon?
For those what are still looking for evidence of The Book of Mormon, may I invite you to take a look at this website: http://bookofmormonevidence.org My wife Suzanne and I took a tour to The Heartland of America and have personally walked many of these areas and felt the Spirit most strongly. I also want to thank Rod Meldrum for leading much of this research!
I also invite you to take the time to read The Book of Mormon. I promise you that if you do read it with real intent and humbly ask your Heavenly Father if it is true as I did, that you will receive a warm feeling inside from the Holy Ghost that will manifest the truthfulness unto you.
A believer, (Click on the link)

It’s Not An Earthquake, It Is A STAMPEDE

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are “Baby Boomers” getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.
In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were; many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don’t know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.
We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn’t fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America except to the Native American Indians whose history was erased. They were referred to as savages and their works and sacred mounds were also destroyed by the Smithsonian so that they could legally justify taking their lands away without purchase. They were here before Columbus and Hopewell evidences of their civilization shows they had culture, worship, creative works and smelting of precious metals and ores plus astronomically aligned earthworks. They were a highly intelligent people with writings in Hebrew, righteous and knowledgeable who lived the Mosaic laws. Unlike their reputation with which we were left to remember them today, they will rise again.
Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.
We have tasted socialism and have seen evil face to face, and have found you don’t like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or “Climbing the Social Ladder” to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the “Great Lie” in 2008 are now having buyer’s remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn’t have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the ‘Kool-Aid.’ We are now paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.
This is what was voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.
Well, don’t worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2012 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we’re going, and in 2012 we’re going to the polls by the millions.
This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the politicians. It belongs to “We the People” and “We the People” plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren.
So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the “Grey-Haired Brigade.”
We Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county are coming together again.
Can you feel the ground shaking? It’s not an earthquake, it is a STAMPEDE.

Through The Eyes Of American Indians
500 Nations Came To America – Before Columbus,
and ”Stayed In The Garden”.
TheFamily.com staff recently returned from visiting The Ancient Hopewell’s in the Heart of America. Some of these wonderful Native American Indians were of Jewish decent from Jerusalem and were a righteous people. They built astrologically aligned earthworks, observed the Law of Moses and were highly intelligent astronomers.
This highly advanced people knew how to mine metals, iron and copper smelt, silver, and gold, pearls, grains and other precious minerals. They were wise in building mounds for their defense and to protect their families; a place above ground in which to bury their dead, and a holy place that mounted their sacred temples of worship. Though government, the Smithsonian, some religions and conspiring men wronged and have intentionally destroyed much of their evidence to prove them savages, starved them by killing thousands of buffalo, presented them blankets infested with small pox killing over 80 percent of them, and discredited these people, still many evidences remain proving that they were highly religious and an intelligent civilization and wrote in ancient Hebrew writings which were found buried in these mounds and the “Bat Creek Stone” in Tennessee.

“Moses with the Ten Commandments” . . . “Holiness To The Lord”

From the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem, Adam-ondi-Ahman to the City of Enoch, the “Heartland” of North America has been the setting of sacred and significant events throughout human history.
By means of three hundred photographs, maps, works of art, scripture and commentary, the author introduces a growing body of evidence that suggests the very real possibility of a North American setting for The Book of Mormon. See BOOK IMAGE GALLERY to see dozens of pages.
Thirty-six scriptural prophecies and promises alternate between descriptions of the ancient Nephite land and a latter-day “Promised Land”. Following that premise, readers will carefully examine statements by the Prophet Joseph Smith regarding his views on Book of Mormon geography.
Newly emerging scientific information strengthens the assertion that large agrarian societies once flourished in North America at precisely the times of Jaredite and Nephite cultures. This research, conducted mostly by non-LDS scientists is revealing a remarkable panorama of culture, achievement and destruction among these ancient peoples.
The research here compiled sparks the scope of archaeology, anthropology, architecture, fortifications, trade, religion, metallurgy, DNA, horticulture, transportation by sea and by land, geographic topologies, building materials, astronomical alignments, mythology and much more.
Exploring The Book of Mormon In America’s Heartland, A Visual Journey of Discovery by Rod L. Meldrum is a gorgeous, hard-cover large format 200+ page heirloom quality photographic journey into the exciting new ”Heartland Model” geography.

God created ‘the Indian Country’, this “promised land” of America.
Our Creator put it exactly in the right place.
We were put here by The Creator.
Our Native Americans hold the keys to our surviving this world.
If we return to righteousness, God will Bless America.

Hopewell – In The Heartland Of America

Some photos from our Mounds Tour
The Heartland of America
Now that Suzanne and I are back home from our Mounds Tour, we have put together and share some photos of what we saw and share what we felt as we visited many impressive mound sites with evidence of a righteous people that dates back to 600 BC to 400 AD.
Hopewell
In The Heart of America!
Alan & Suzanne Osmond with Rod Meldrum
Who built these mounds?
The Hopewell Indians of Ohio.
The Hopewell peoples were Native American Indians who lived about 2,200 and 1,500 years ago and were recognized as the architects and builders of the mounds.
Here is an mound thought to belong to the Adena culture because of its conical shape and the character of the burials to have been found within it. We believe it to of the the Jaredite Nation because of the early history dating.
As we continue toward Newark, you’ll discover that this area is filled with the most extensive and monumental earthworks in the world, including the Great Circle and Great Octagon, built by the Hopewell Civilization. They date between 150 AD and 250 AD, during the peaceful time following Christ’s visit. Scientists have recently discovered embedded astronomical alignments proving this was a highly advanced civilization. You’ll have a chance to ascend the 30 foot embankments and walk the ‘place of entrance’ of the Great Circle. You’ll learn more as we discuss the ancient Hopewell Mound Builder civilization that inhabited this area during Book of Mormon times. The Hopewell mounds were more elaborate and bigger than that of the Adenas. Hence, their alternate name, the Mound Builders. These mounds were constructed for burials, for symbolism, temple foundations, or for platforms for mounds built atop the original mounds. Sacred religious ceremonies took place here and some believe the earthworks symbolism reflects God’s Plan of Life.
The Hopewell Indians were skillful artisans, and left behind a legacy of ornamentation. Like the Adena, they constructed burial mounds. They also made pearl necklaces, and a diverse collection of jewelry, some of copper. They cultivated corn; and continued to hunt and gather and cultivate other food like their predecessors.
These earthen mounds and embankments outlining huge geometric enclosures which dot the landscape of the Ohio River Valley. These monumental structures were the work of many Native American hands nearly 2000 years ago. Hopewell people gathered at these major earthwork centers seasonally (during passover) and for important religious occasions with rituals and rites of passage in these sacred spaces which reflect upon the lives of these American Indians.
They were also used for feasting, trading, presenting gifts, marriages, competition, funerals with mourning ceremonies, an of course, mound construction. Tools and ornaments used in and worn for these occasions were often made of copper, silver, gold, obsidian, sharks teeth and sea shells and mica. These have been found under the mounds.
In our opinion, the Hopewell Indians fit the history from the Book of Mormon whose people left Jerusalem around 600 BC. and came to “the promised land” (America) existing until 400 AD. Here is some art found on stone of a hand with the “all seeing eye”, which is definitely Hebrew.
Apparently, “culture in the eastern woodlands went into a dark age for 200 years,” according to Tom Sherman, author of Place on the Glacial Till.’ The Hopewell Indians had an extensive culture spreading far beyond Ohio.
At the the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Coshocton, Ohio, Suzanne and I actually saw the famous “Holy Stones”, found in a Hopewell mound near Newark, Ohio. These stones, inscribed with ancient Hebrew/Phoenician writings which demonstrate a North American connection to the Old World. They are ancient Hebrew writings which read Moses, with the Ten Commandments inscribed around it. We know that when Lehi’s family left Jerusalem, they brought with them the Plates of Laban which contained Old Testament writings with the Ten Commandments.
(Watch this video of what Glenn Beck says)
We went to a mound that was 30+ feet tall. Alan wanted to climb it but couldn’t because of his MS. Friends Rod and Van took Alan under his arms and said, “You are going to go up there if we have to carry you!” Alan agreed and they made it to the top and in the center with the rest of the group!
There is the world famous Serpent Mound with its mysterious coils forming astronomical alignments. It was formed in the shape of a snake with a head. To us, this confirms that the Native Americans were not as they were typed, “Savages” but astronomers and that they followed the lunar calendar which is a part of their Mosaic Law.
