Rameumptom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rameumptom: The Holy Stand. In the Book of Mormon, travelling missionaries, including Alma, were astonished to find that a group of proselytes had erected a tower, or stand, from which they proclaimed to the congregation their own superiority[1]. This stand they termed a "rameumptom." Alma and his companions vigorously opposed this practice of self-promotion.

In Mormon culture, the term "Rameumptom" can also have a metaphoric meaning signifying self aggrandizement or hubris.[2]
