enabling them to live with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and their families forever.

^^^ not gonna happen^^^

It is only through Christ, and His righteousness and His work alone that one can live eternally with HF, JC, HS/HG and the other redeemed.

You’d think they’d make the temple ADA accessible.

Everyone wants to put themselves between you and Jesus don't they?! Jesus isn't enough to them all, it is they who fill in what Jesus failed to provide, to their way of thinking......

Let's hope they retained their dinosaur artwork. The shy Stegosaurus that once roamed Sanpete County should be remembered.

The church originally announced it was going to take out the Minerva Teichert art and generify the Manti temple (because the Mormon god apparently loves nothing more than dull corporate conformity). But one of my old law-school classmates (who was BYU law professor for a time) wrote a blog post on BCC essentially begging the church not to be stupid, and they (surprisingly) relented and agreed to preserve the art.

Can you possibly imagine what they will do to the Celestial Kingdom once they get there? They so lack in imagination and depth they'll probably all just wear white suits, ties, and shoes, and imagine that is what brings them the most joy. One singular, blase, colorless world of existence. You may as well start painting the entire Salt Lake City in white and pretend that's going to make it more desireable to live in. Talk about sapless spineless deadwood men of the spirit. Why are these living idiots still in charge these days anyway?

Bad news, Moksha. Reports are coming in that the Manti temple has now removed the animatronic T-Rex from the Celestial Room.

I went and can confirm that the Pterosaur is still there.

Without the Manti Miracle Pageant, relocating this exhibit outside the Temple would be fun for families passing through Manti on their way to Ephraim.

I always thought LDS temples were the greatest waste of money. A super tent, made with super material could be used, divided especially in the spring, summer and fall. The money not spent would help people and bring great happiness.

Let's take $290,000,000.00 spent on the Kirkland Temple. How many MRI or CT machines could be bought for that money. Just $ 300,000,000 per year for many machines though out the world could help catch a cancer in stage 1 and 2 instead of stage 3 and 4. Can people understand what this church can do with the money.

But old white guys keep choosing old white guys as replacements who will only buy real estate. The comparison to their donations to charity and what they buy in real estate is pale in comparison.
