Picketing New Temples
I was recently reading Nick Literski'spage on LDS temples at
http://www.ldstemplepage.org/, and saw
that the LDS church is planning on building a temple in the town I lvie in, Newport Beach,
California, as part of their Small Temple program. From the reading I've done, I understand
that generally they try to put the temple next to the Stake headquarters. There are 2 stakes
here in Newport Beach, one of which happens to be next door to my apartment building, so I may
be living next door to a temple. Having been involved with critits of Scientology in recent years,
I have picketed Scientology on a few occasions, passed out fliers, etc. While the LDS are far
from being at the same level of deception and fraud as Scientology, the secrecy around the nature of
the temple endowment and its relationship the LDS plan of salvation, as
well as the true nature of that plan of salvation indicate that they ARE indeed far from
being up front about their true beleifs and practices.
I am in the proccess of putting together some ideas for fliers to pass out at the opening
of new temples. If you have any sugestions, please email me at
goonybird@bigfoot.com. In the meantime
check Nick Literski's page on planned temples at www.ldstemplepage.org/newtemps.html.
Nick's entire page is very thorough. Since there is no official church web page on Temples,
at least not that I or anyone else can find, this page is probably the best resource on the
subhject from a pro-LDS point of view, and probably what an official site would be if
it existed.
I've written a rough draft of a flier that i'm thinking about using when the local
temple opens. It's still a rough draft, so if you have any suggestions feel free to email me at
goonybird@bigfoot.com
