They put on a good (vegan) feed there, free for donations. We toured it to see the architecture & artwork just prior to its completion.

As long as you walk with Jesus, and do not partake in, or do anything to advance, their doctrines/rituals; nor cause a weaker brother to stumble, you are safe. CF Paul re eating meat dedicated to idols.

OTOH, this is something else entirely; and these Mormon students seem to have a lot to learn, but they already do anyway, considering their own doctrines.

I could probably live on mashed potatoes, if they were buttery enough but then that's not vegan is it.

That's the way I read it as well.

(I would be on the look out for MORMONs who seem to be doing a LOT of handshaking...)


 Doctrine and Covenants       Section 129

 
Instructions given by Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, 9 February 1843, making known three grand keys by which the correct nature of ministering angels and spirits may be distinguished (see History of the Church, 5:267).

1–3, There are both resurrected and spirit bodies in heaven; 4–9, Keys are given whereby messengers from beyond the veil may be identified.
1 There are two kinds of beings in heaven, namely: Angels, who are resurrected personages, having bodies of flesh and bones;
2 For instance, Jesus said: Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
3 Secondly: the spirits of just men made perfect, they who are not resurrected, but inherit the same glory.
4 When a messenger comes saying he has a message from God, offer him your hand and request him to shake hands with you.
5 If he be an angel he will do so, and you will feel his hand.
6 If he be the spirit of a just man made perfect he will come in his glory; for that is the only way he can appear;
7 Ask him to shake hands with you, but he will not move, because it is contrary to the order of heaven for a just man to deceive; but he will still deliver his message.
8 If it be the devil as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not feel anything; you may therefore detect him.
9 These are three grand keys whereby you may know whether any administration is from God.

       Joseph Smith
