Is there a way to get a hard copy of the BOM without...
Hey everybody,
I am Christian and have been looking into the LDS church lately...I have been reading the BOM online and also talking to an online missionary over at mormon.org as well. I was wondering if there is a way to receive a hard copy of the Book of Mormon without missionaries delivering it to you; like receiving it by mail? For anybody out there that are converts, I'm sure you know what I'm going through...Going from a Baptist church and leaning now towards the LDS church is a big change and not sure how my family would take it if I converted. But I'm getting wayyyy ahead of myself lol Back to my original question...If anybody can help, that would be greatly appreciated. God bless. ~Curtis

Nice Loudmouth.
I too came from a Baptist background. Not many in my extended family were very religious. My grandmother was a devout Pentecostal. Gave land to build the church in Dodge City, Kansas. She still continued to visit our family each year until she was unable to due to poor health. We just didn't talk religion. We would drop her off at a local church of her choosing when she would visit us and then pick her up later or someone from that church would drop her by the house. Religious intolerance by anyone seems unChristlike to me. Ben Raines

They also have the BoM at Barnes and Nobel, if you would like to purchase from a local seller rather than online (I don't like buying stuff on the interwebs, I prefer phone, catalog or in person).

You can order one from the church's distribution center. Go here. On the left, click on scriptures. If that doesn't work for you or you can't afford one (get the "missionary" one--it costs around $3.00), email me your address and I'll send you one.

I'm a convert  . Baptist to Mormon - as a Mormon I love Baptists, great family values, pro-lifers, stand with us on a lot of the measures that come over the ballot box... not sure why some Baptists are wary of us  . I know how it goes, only one person from my fam - a cousin - came to my baptism... sad thing. 12 years later, and they are starting to get used to things. It's hard to be a first generatoiner, not for the weak of heart. Once you know, you know though... alternative is to live a lie.

You can request a free copy off mormon.org, which the missionaries will deliver to you, and you can tell them at that time that you're not interested in meeting with them just yet. They'll keep your contact info and probably get in touch with you again a few months down the road.
Another option is again requesting it from mormon.org, and (I just looked at the order form) there is a "description" box that is a required field, though I'm not sure what it's for. You could put in there something about not wanting to talk to missionaries, having them just drop it off, or leave hours when you won't be home (and tell them you won't be home).
