‘Author: Joseph Smith
Have you examined the book/material entirely: Yes
Please explain in your own words concems or objections to the materials:
The book is very violent. Nephi cuts off Laban's head and his brother's are constantly beating him up.
There are also the war chapters of Alma that describe dead bodieslittered across the land. The Nephites
and Lamanites torture and murder each other. There is also burning people at the stake (Abinadi) and
forced cannibalism (Moroni9). There is also sex and visiting prostitutes. While this is framed as asin, itis
still mentioned. Further, the Lamanite women are kidnapped and raped in Mosiah 20.
| don't want my child reading about murder, rape, and torture or learning that itis okay to murder
somebody if God tells them to (Nephi). , The chapter heading on the church's website here:
