Blaine:   The BoM does indicate some dark-skinned people became lighter in color as they became more in tune with the truth.  However, it does not mention how long this process took, and the suggestion is that inter-marriage with the lighter-skinned Nephites may have had something to do with it.  I am pretty sure it was a natural phenomenon, although, who knows?   That was then, this is now, as the saying goes.  Who are we to question history?  We were not there, and so few details are given (remember, the BoM is a condensed version, an "abridgement" of much longer records), it is at best inconclusive!!!  In fact, most of your criticisms should be labeled IMO!! ):>    AND you OFTEN reflect lack of faith in the power of God to perform miracles, which is exactly what JS said the Lord gave as his reason for telling him not to join any other churches.  As the Lord said, "They teach for doctrine the commandments of men, which have a form of Godliness, but DENY THE POWER THEREOF."
