Some gentleman, huh?

[detsaoT]

He sounds like he could use some tips from these guys, who seem to have a better grasp of ministry via subtlety. His heart's in the right place, though, even if his methods could use some fine-tuning.

Proseltyzing Christianity to non-Christians is one thing. Entering their worship sites and harassing them is another.

His next appearance will be at the Federal Reserve ("Where's the gold?")

The $45 million temple expects 350,000 people to visit before closing its doors June 27 to all but Mormons, said church officials.

And if Christian churches closed their doors to sinners.......

"I asked them because there was no cross in the temple, but there were plenty of satanic signs."

There is a time and a place for everything. This was neither.

That's funny, I got the same reaction when I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and started lecturing them about their lack of power-tool displays.

Navy Officer From Iowa Disruptive Man Barred From Entering Mormon Temple

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Since this Temple is a rebuilt version of the one destroyed in the early 19th century after a mob murdered the founder of their religion, I would expect Mormons to be particularly touchy about anti-Mormon bigotry at that location.

"I showed the guard my military identification," Hulse said. "I asked if I was to be thrown out after almost 30 years of protecting the religious freedom of church members."

What a jerk. Somebody needs to inform him that while his service is appreciated, it does not entitle him to flout the behaviors of a civil society. Sure, he would NEVER engage in behavior that would get him charged under the Uniform Code. A completely snotty and un-officerlike response. I hope someone drops a not-so-subtle hint that this kind of baiting should cease.

We may need to ask this jackass what else we owe him for his 30 years.....

[Huusker]

A Mormon temple never displays a cross. It never displays Jesus.

It does put a statue of an "angel of light" on the tallest point of the temple.

The "angel of light" appeared before John Smith and told him that God was originally a man, and that man could become like God.

What fallen angel of light would want to push that idea? Hint: 2 Cor 11:14.

The next time you see a picture of the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, look for his statute standing at the highest point.

[Neanderthal]

"A warrant officer in the Navy with 28 years of service, Hulse said he would never cause a scene and risk being charged with conduct unbecoming an officer under the Uniform Code of Military Justice."

Is a warrant officer a real (commissioned) officer? Excuse my ignorance, all warrant officers out there, but is a warrant officer required to be a "gentleman?"

[donozark]

Cannot believe all the misperceptions of Mormonism as well as their history, the comments on this thread represent. People, you have a PC in front of you, USE IT!

Study the Gov. of Missouri's EXTERMINATION RULE! How do you think the Mormons ended up in Nauvoo? And why did they leave in the middle of winter?

Their flight from Nauvoo was no less a suffering than the Russians fleeing St. Petersburg. History people, history. Ya, I know, painful...

[TC Rider]

The Mormon Temples are not for everyday or even Sabbath worship. They are 'high' Temples used for administering the sacrements only.

There are only a few handfuls of Temples in the entire United States. One was built recently in my hometown of Apex, NC, to serve the entire Eastern NC region.

They too had a open house period before the Temple was consecrated.

This joker was way out of line and an embarassment to the Armed Forces.

As Buba would play his Jackie Robinson card to prove he wasn't racist.

This guy probably thinks the Procter and Gamble trademark is satanic.

[Illbay]

Can you imagine if Christ had been HANGED? The guy'd be asking "hey, where's the noose on the temple"?

[Salvation]

At the end of the tour, he said, he asked a temple official where the cross was located in the church.

Sounds like a reasonable request to me.

And now for a post actually about the article!

I'm surprised this is in the news. Temple open houses always attract a few jerks like this.

"He is a man very well announced in his agenda, who was asked to leave because of his aggressive behavior," said Ann Orton, a media specialist for the church.

Yeah, Ms. Orton, I have no idea what you just said there. Learn to speak English correctly please, instead of trying to sound smart.
