The Name Mormon - Page 2
Well, some people aren't really good at describing things. Maybe this is the case with them?

I think we should go with Joseph Smith's version since he is the first one who saw the plates. He said in a newspaper that...
QUOTE "each plate was six inches [15 cm] wide and eight inches [20 cm] long, and not quite so thick as common tin. They were.. . Bound together in a volume, as the leaves of a book, with three rings running through the whole. The volume was something near six inches [15 cm] in thickness".

Comments: Thanks, Goldielocks. Yes, that's pretty definitive, all right. Did he say how many plates there were?
What I was really wondering, though, is whether the wildly varying desciptions (From paper-like to a half inch thick) were a source of concern to many Saints, since the plates were.. . Well, you know.. . The very foundation of the religion.
Just wondering, that's all. Surely you know that we gentiles tend to prattle on amongst ourselves about some of the elements of Mormonism. A lot of the things sound bizarre but endlessly fascinating Thanks again.

I would dare to say only few lds members really know about church history or would focus in details such as this so I don't think its a concern at all for them (Generally speaking).
