           Are you worthy to enter the temple ?

A Mormon-owned TV station, KSL, reported as the protest started that only 200 people had gathered near Temple Square at around 6 pm, but station KTVX (channel 4) offered its far higher estimate of the crowd as "thousands" in a 7:44 pm report.

Protestors and Mormon apologists confront each other at the temple.

Mormon church reports spending $180,000 on Proposition 8

B y   J e s s i c a   G a r r i s o n   02-01-2009

Los Angeles Times

Top officials with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints filed reports Friday indicating that they donated more than $180,000 in in-kind contributions to Proposition 8, the November ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage in California.

The contributions included tens of thousands of dollars for expenses such as airline tickets, hotel and restaurant bills and car-rental bills for top church officials such as L. Whitney Clayton, along with $96,849.31 worth of "compensated staff time" for church employees.

The church said the expenditures took place between July 1 and the end of the year. The church's involvement has been a major issue in the campaign and its aftermath. Individual Mormon families donated millions -- by some estimates more than $20 million -- of their own money to the campaign.

On top of that, some Prop. 8 opponents say church officials violated election law by failing to file campaign disclosure reports outlining church funds being spent on the campaign. Fred Karger, who filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission after the election alleging that church officials had not properly disclosed their involvement, said he thought today's filing proves that his complaint has merit.

"They said they reported all their travel ... now, when there is a [complaint filed] they disclose 25 [airline] tickets just in October," he said. "They were required to report this" in an earlier filing, he said.

Church officials could not be reached for comment.

Considering the source which admitted this wrong-doing, it's a sure bet that the real story is WORSE. The Mormons lie about everything that's important.   -- Also see PLANET KOLOB

 Mormon Opinion:  Overcoming Masturbation

 It's used like this:
 
       Here is THE Logic -  

 1   Suppose you meet someone and you think he may be the devil.  Shake their  hand the normal way.

 2  If they feel like noting -- like air, you know immediately that this person is the devil or a spiritual being!.  Act accordingly !

 3  If they feel solid, like you or I,  they may be probably OK,  but we don't  know for sure, do we?
   Try the secret handshake with this person   If they reciprocate -- if they know the secret handshake -- they are an angel!   If they don't know the secret handshake, they are surely a real person, because they feel solid. 

 4  If they refuse to shake, you can be certain you are dealing with a "Just man made perfect",  a male, who knows the secret handshake, but he nevertheless is not solid, and thus can't shake your hand.              Instructions given by Joseph Smith, Nauvoo, Illinois, February 9, 1843.
