Brigham Young built a 9 ft solid stone fence around his properties. Was it to keep people out, or keep his wives within.
A lot of us can see the handwriting on the wall.

Mormon "heaven" is definitely a "gated community"....you have to buy a ticket to get into one of those "long row of sentries -- those Mormon temples -- that stand along the Wasatch -- the new Brigham City temple, new Payson temple, the new remade Ogden temple and all the others."...and you can't get to mormon "heaven" unless you have performed required rituals in one of these "sentries"

I feel protect precious things is the point of the new mission statements of LDS businesses, the point for books that are picked for publication and the lessons selected for manuals.

Translation: Uh oh, we have to keep our members from fining out the truth that in online. If we ‘protect’ them then they won’t find out the truth and leave.
Reinforcement of brainwashing and the persecution complex.
Joey Smith restored ancient barbarism but Briggy Young perfected it...
I think this whole concept is very far away from Christianity. If we “believe the bible is translated correctly”, we know that not long after Jesus left this Earth, Christians were not gathered into a protective fold, but were scattered around the world.
Definitely sounds speculative, but I don’t think the author is entirely off base either.
Those of us who live in Utah might be aware that there is some controversy about the LDS CHurch buying up property around the temple in Salt Lake City. They are building a large commerce center of some kind - shopping, apartments, restaurants.
I’m not sure how this fits in with the article claiming they are establishing a “buffer zone of protection” unless they plan to exclude non-LDS from living, working and shopping/eating there.
There is some bitterness among the locals who mourn the loss of the historic downtown character, the mom-and-pop stores and eateries which will lose their leases and be razed to make room for this.
Not sure about all the politics of that...
Cousin Jerry Earl waxing poetic again.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is teaching its members how to stay strong and true to the principles of the gospel of Christ amid difficult moral, political and physical conditions that exist throughout the world. In this way the Church does provide protection.
I don’t see the Church hunkering down, though, waiting out a storm. I believe serving God means reaching out, not hiding out.
Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6
“The church can see the writing on the wall — often literally. “
Translated it says...
“You changed the Gospel of Christ for a system of man-made works! You accepted every heresy known to the Church. You changed the image of God into an exalted man. You changed my Son into a created thing! Repent today.”
What the fetchin' heck is THAT supposed to mean?
Do what? I did not understand the point of the prose of poetry.
“When something merits that much protection, you have to figure” theres a lot of money involved...
Think of the Salt Lake Temple as a designer bottle holding a one-of-a-kind fragrance
