Mormon Feels God Told Him to Wear Temple Garments with Painted Face Outside of SLC Temple
Meet Nick. According to Nick, he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has a wife and kids, and his father is a bishop. Nick says that God told him via feelings to paint his face white, wear temple garments, and stand outside the Mormon Temple. He’s been out doing this for four days. The gloves and the face paint deviated, as those aren’t part of the temple garb, and he was missing his green apron. But he insisted that God told him to stand out on the corner like …

Besides the strange face paint, the white gloves are not part of the temple garb. Also, he is missing the green fig leaf apron.
Yeah, that part confused me. At first I even thought it was a mocking mime.
Odd!
Good way of illustrating how the LDS emphasis of feelings can lead astray.
When the guys get all together singing, they believe they are Joseph Smiths soldiers conquering the world.
The sound in the background is fitting for a clowns atire,, “cuckoo, cuckoo.”
mainstream lds people still are completely unwilling to listen to the multitude of documentations on Joseph Smith’s constant woman chasing ways..How many of them realize he “commanded” polygamy (saying God commanded it, in order to terrify Emma into accepting it.) There is a verse in Mormon writings (book of Jacob?) saying it is wrong for a man to have more than one wife. So Smith BYoung, etc constantly disobeyed their own writings.- WHEN are more lds going to face reality? So much confusion!
Go go nick show the world what mormonism is all about!
imo nick is doing a great job of showing the lie that is mormonism
good job!!
Mormonism pretty much = a branch off of freemasonry.
Aprons, secret ceremonies.
Craziness.
Nick is Awesome!
you dont know that those are temple clothes aaron! because you are not an LDS member & you are not allowed to know about temple clothes! MORmONS say so! Its sacred ….to the point of being secret ! Nick is LOOKING GOOD! GO NICK !
AS ” can you think of any objective standard to test your feelings against ? ”
Nick “yes! blah blah blah ( more of my feelings) ”
Hilarious!
I would’ve liked to see Nick and a Mormon have a discussion about their feelings … like, why is Nick’s feelings about God wrong and the Mormon’s feelings about God are right? That would be interesting.
Very nice statement Nick is making … whether he’s aware of it or not.
Did Nick engage conversation with anyone or just stand there? Did fellow Mormons consider his display to be antiMormon? One would not know if he was Mormon unless they asked. This is such odd behavior. Especially with the face paint. unless they’ve changed the rituals I don’t think they paint their face.
He wasn’t actively engaging others, just standing there singing hymns. I assume other Mormons considered it “anti-Mormon”.
ODD indeed.
>”you are not allowed to know about temple clothes[...] Its sacred…to the point of being secret”
There’s nothing sacred or secret of temples made by human hands!
“the light has come into the world and men loved the darkness more than the light because their works were evil. For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light lest his works be exposed.
But he who does the truth comes to the light that his works may be revealed that they’ve been done in God” Jn3:19-21
When God tells you to do something you don’t ask questions, you just do it. Whether it’s slaughtering Midianite children (Moses), bombing a stake center (Addam Swapp), taking teenage girls as secret plural wives (Joseph Smith), Kidnapping Elizabeth Smart (Brian David Mitchell), chopping off a sleeping person’s head (Nephi) or being baptized a Mormon (lots of people), you do it whether you understand or not. Nick has learned to be obedient to “The Spirit” just as he was taught at church.
I really don’t mean to poke fun… but I couldn’t help but notice that the sound of the stop light beeps for the blind behind him… kind of sounds like “coo-coo-coo-coo”.
Sorry, but I couldn’t help but laugh. But yes, this is a very sad situation.
I’ve got no problem with God telling people to do violent things, including holy war. What’s important is to have a system of epistemic checks and balances so we aren’t deceiving ourselves.
The question for Nick is, Do you believe the Spirit would contradict himself? No matter his answer, hes painted himself into a corner. A god that would contradict himself is a god who cannot be trusted. And if God cant contradict himself, then either the prophets who claim the temple ordinances came from revelation (sacred) are lying, or Nicks lying when he claims that the Spirit told him to defile his temple clothing outside the temple. Whos lying—the mormon god, the prophet, or Nick?
Or all three are lying, and the God of the Bible alone is telling the truth.
does anyone notice the coo-coo noise in the background?
