CES Letter
The CES Letter was written in 2013 by Jeremy Runnells which outlines issues he found with the LDS church. On April 17, 2016, Jeremy was faced with excommunication by the disciplinary court. Jeremy then decided to resign from the church. The CES letter deals with historical and scientific conflicting issues within the Book of Mormon.

Jeremy has helped a lot of people excepting the truth by standing up for his believes. Please donate to the CES Letter Foundation organization that helps liberate doubting LDS individuals.
“I believe that members and investigators deserve to have all of the facts and information on the table...to be able to make a fully-informed and balanced decision as to whether or not they want to commit their hearts, minds, time, talents, income and lives to Mormonism. Anything less is an obstruction to the free agency of the individual.”
- Jeremy Runnells
Some of the historical and scientific issues within the Book of Mormon are the following:
The Book of Mormon has the same errors as the 1769 edition of the King James Version. The errors are unique to this Bible which Joseph Smith owned.
Things that did not exist in the pre-Columbian America during the time period in the Book of Mormon, horses, steel, goats, elephants and wheat.
No archeological evidence of the Nephites and Lamanites.
Book of Mormon has alot of same views as the View of the Hebrews
The Book of Abraham was translated by Joseph Smith from a papyri, later the papyri was translated to be a common funeral text to the gods for the afterlife.
Joseph used the same seer stones to help find treasure before he wrote the Book of Mormon. He was taken to court on charges of fraud.
Joseph Smith signed an affidavit saying he wasn’t practicing polygamy at the time he was and others doing the same signed the same affidavit.
Since Joseph Smith gave Martin Harris the lost 116 pages he could not re-translate them because he was afraid that Martin Harris’s wife would compare the two and they would be different.
