— seems that Jon Cannon is more like a loose cannon — typical of too many of the mormon leadership.
Hey Jon Cannon — rein it in, why don't you? Stop making your church (as well as yourself) look stupid — it already has enough challenges with credibility without you confirming them.
Right after Nelson became the prophet I heard someone from the temple department talk about an exchange he had with Nelson about whichever temple he was designing. He brought several plans to Nelson to get his approval on which would be best for this specific area. He goes on to say that once they were all laid out, Pres Nelson looked up and asked if people could receive their covenants in any of these temples which the man replied they could receive them in all of these temples. Nelson went on to ask about each covenant and if the members could adequately perform each portion to it. This man said that yes, every portion could be received in any one of these temples. President Nelson concluded that it didn't matter which Temple was built in that area because it didn't matter. It just mattered that the covenants and ceremonies could be performed adequately and to just pick whichever one they preferred. The man went on to talk about how shocking this was because it was so different from how Pres Hinckley made the decisions about temples.
I have an Aunt and Uncle who are Temple workers in Rexberg and live in Teton. I can't see how that area is 1:00:34 big enough for 2 Temples. I live in a city of just over 229,000 people, and we have only 1 Temple. (By the way… I am not, and never have been LDS) I also have another Aunt and Uncle in Heber. My Aunt loves the new Temple, as she doesn't have to drive as far to do her genealogy work.
Changing a name, taking 15' off a spire is called significant. Closing a Ward, shutting down a Stake is simply policy/revelation. Not significant to the Church, but very significant to the local members. As for drawing one's eyes to heaven, all the spire at Lingfield, the 35 miles from London, London Temple does is draw my eyes to the flight path to Gatwick Airport! Never needed the spire to give me added focus in my belief in God, heaven or my temple attendance. In fact I'd worry about my faith if that had been the case personally.
Nemo's thumbnail of Nelson reminds me of one those old guys in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sorry can't remember the exact episode.
On the fact checking point. The Church has 16,000 temple recommend, eligible recommend, holders in the Fairview catchment area? What is the official/unofficial activity rates of Church membership in the catchment area?
I just drove by a temple in Spokane, Washington. It can hardly be seen behind the big ward house (stake center?) in front of it. It only caught my eye because of the golden angel Moroni sitting on top of it's very, very short steeple.
…….everyone should know the Presidency, the 3 clowns now running the show, all showed up at the Vatican back in 2018…..can anyone say Illuminati satanists??????gh
Same tactics happening in bakersfield california right now
I work as a graphic designer for a sign shop in Utah County. I make permits to be submitted to cities to get approval on signs we're installing. A 60ft tall building isn't common. In an average building, 60ft would be 5 or 6 stories tall. It's rare we do signage for buildings more than 4 stories tall. Our lift trucks don't even go that high. This temple exceeds the building height of probably 80% of the COMMERCIAL properties my work puts signs on. It's taller than any of the apartment complexes we've put signs on. It's massiveness really can't be understated. This building is gargantuan even without the steeple.
The almost 15 feet reminds me of thar one of Joseph Smith jr. wife was almost 15 years old. I guess the church thinks this is a big number
Council members are generally paid. Planning board members are not.
Nemo you are the reason for this! God will bless you because you made the Church sort of get back on the straight and correct path. At least for now….
The town wants 105 feet off the height. They offered 15 feet.
Try that in tithing settlement. 🙃
In the beginning, the church made enemies.Will they ever learn?
I guess it's true what the church teaches… "you can buy anything in this world with money"
As a kid, I lived about 5 minutes away. From a temple.
Also, let's play a quick game of name this city. This city temple was visited by demons and Satan himself. What city was this temple in
Building is a big income for Mormon elites, no bid contracts where money is funneled to Mormon elites
Definitely sounds like bullying small towns. In my city, Helsinki (Finland) the LDS church similarly wanted a higher steeple when building the Temple in the 00's. The City Council voted no and that was that. They got a very pretty 42 m/ 139 ft steeple as per the City Councils wishes, it fits the landscape and there was no hoo-ha about it on either side. I actually got a positive impression of the LDS church from that building project (I'm atheist myself). This Fairview situation is just stupid. Makes the LDS church look like a-holes when they could instead be making a good impression, bringing a beautiful building into the community while being good neighbours.
The unpaid volunteers are never removed for lying because the general authorities are never removed for their lies that started in 1830 and continues to this very day.
Good job nemo and Rebecca and landon!
They just cant stop themselves from lying.
Appreciate your hard work on topic.
Nemo, the trick is to keep it from getting in front of a judge. The red tape exists without a ruling. Judges give rulings.
Water towers aren't lit or loud or bring lots of traffic.
