My brother quit the church over it and I was wondering if anyone else had heard about it or gone to the web site. I think it is all lies.

the web site is www.thesealedportion.com

Just looking over a few parts of the website, I would also have to agree that whoever created it is inaccurate at best and completely messed up in general. To the best of my knowledge, there are no transcriptions of the sealed portion of the plates. The thing that definitely gave away this person's "principles" or whatever they are called was when he said that people have the right to change their gender due to technology. Whoever this person is, he hasn't studied the premortal life much, so I also would call into question how much he even knew to start out with. I am more interested in modern day archaeology myself, such as what they have been finding in Lamanai's ruins in Belize over the past 32 years. Have a happy day.
P.S. Even though you don't permit people to email you, you can email me. If this individual who created this website can be proven to be a liar (since he claimed to work for Church security, and I used to go to church with the head of Church security), do you think your brother would reconsider?

He quit the church because he didn't think there is more scripture or....???
That website is NOT an official site of the LDS church and having been a member my whole life, I have to say we don't have a lot of knowledge about the sealed plates or what has not been revealed yet...I heard someone say once "We don't read the scripture we have now as faithfully as we should, why should God reveal more to us?"
Also, SINCE God revealed the plates to Joseph and he then founded the church, don't you think God would ALSO reveal the 116 pages to another LDS prophet and NOT just someone claiming to have found them or whatever??? Seriously. When there is revelation given, it is then given to us as members, God would not hold out his doctrine and give it to someone else.

There is a sealed portion. God will give his wisdom little by little.
Isaiah 28:9-10 "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"
The wibsite listed is not it, as it has not yet been revealed.

In the protestant faith the denominations include Methodists, Calvinists, Lutherans, Nazarenes, Reformed, Menonites, Quakers, and others. Jehovah Witnesses, Scientologists and Mormons are not generally accepted as official christian organizations by the rest of the Protestants as they do not follow some of our basic tenants or follow some individuals that are concidered heritical.

What difference does it make? It is just like all the other superstition as in any religion, which is nothing but insanity.
