Now....what is it doing on the Nauvoo Temple?

One of the most important predictions regarding the Book of Mormon is that found in the 29th chapter of Isaiah. The prophet here speaks of a people who should be like Ariel, the city where David dwelt. They should have heaviness and sorrow and should be brought down to speak out of the ground, and their speech was to be low out of the dust, and their voice was to be as of one that had a familiar spirit. (Joseph Fielding Smith Jr., Doctrines of Salvation, Vol.3, p.213)

There are 15 Old Testament references to "familiar spirits," and every one of them refer to mediums in witchcraft, including Is. 29:4 (Lev. 20:6; Duet. 18:10-12). If the LDS believe the B. of M. has a "familiar spirit," they are identifying it with witchcraft!

Well, that settles it. Time to get the popcorn popper fired up ... nothing twists satan’s tail like exposing him. [Wonder if I can find a nice bottle of Ruby Port to have a sip with my popcorn?]

I don't see many (or any so far) LDS showing up here definding the Inverted Pentagram being on their Temple.

I wonder why that is?
