Recommendations

Hello! Shalom! Aloha! Mabuhay!

If this is your first visit to Modern Apocrypha, I have only two recommendations for continuing on with minimal confusion:


1) Please begin with the first introductory post (found HERE) and work your way forward. Almost all the posts on this blog flow chronologically and will make more sense with the background and context of previous ones. Jumping in anywhere might be disorienting.

2) Please read along in the texts posted off to the right. I try not to summarize too much in the commentary and discussion, and being at least somewhat familiar with what we're discussing or I'm commenting on will be most beneficial and edifying for all involved. Plus, going along with the theme of this blog, any hidden truths to be brought to light will be found within the text itself and not necessarily within my ramblings.

Okay, fine, three recommendations:

3) Please read with an open heart, mind, and spirit. See what truths you can find in these works--ones which speak to you. Namaste : )

  1. I believe the Ang Aklatan was written by a man name Michael Ellis who goes by the pseudonym ELISha MICHAEL Enoch. Please note the capitalized letters. I believe that angaklatan.wordpress.com, newmormonscripture.wordpress.com, zomarah.wordpress.com, deseretregion.wordpress.com and godspecies.wordpress.com are all blogs that belong to Ellis. These blogs, especially Zomarah and his FB profile fit the psychological profile behind the fraudulent scripture work.
