Alma 60 – 61
It seems to be a trait of Moroni’s that he starts off with a response and can become carried away on an idea that was not previously apparent. He wrote to Ammoron about exchanging prisoners only to spend much of the epistle talking about the injustice of the Lamanite cause. Here he writes to Pahoran to ask why they have been neglectful in their support only to begin a lengthy censure which ends in a threat to attack his own government. that turned out to be the correct course of action but it was not what he had in mind when he began the epistle.
What flatteries were the king-men using to pacify and dissuade the otherwise righteous Nephites into inaction?
