AVOW is the only source I have heard with this story. I'd like to see it verified from some other source. AVOW is spurious at best.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
The report would seem to originate with the NBC affiliate in San Diego. They in turn got it from some unnamed terror related website.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
If it is credible, is it against San Diego City, the temple, the Church or multiple? Kind of hits you in the gut?

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
I wondered if it was San Diego as a target and they used a well known landmark in the poster. If they were targeting "mormons" you would think the SLC temple would represent that?kittycat51 wrote: ↑December 1st, 2017, 7:22 pm If it is credible, is it against San Diego City, the temple, the Church or multiple?

It hasn't hit me in my gut...yet. We know that the saints will not escape the persecutions that the early saints faced.
Good will be a target of evil and that group is evil, but their goal is to create fear and chaos by any means in any place against any people.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
I wondered as well if they won't eventually be more focused on Christians like they have been in Syria etc. Perhaps they view Americans as christians? However Mormons are not considered "christians". Our church has also reached out to the Muslim world and to the refugees.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
The ones who say we are not Christians are usually evangelical protestants. I doubt people of other religions care to make such a distinction, especially Muslim extremists.MMbelieve wrote: ↑December 1st, 2017, 8:36 pm I wondered as well if they won't eventually be more focused on Christians like they have been in Syria etc. Perhaps they view Americans as christians?

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
Mormons is not how LDS should be refering to themselves, you are the true Christians, be the saint your meant to be. Are thou ashamed of Christ? If the whole world turns against you the Lord God is with you, is that not enough?MMbelieve wrote: ↑December 1st, 2017, 8:36 pm I wondered as well if they won't eventually be more focused on Christians like they have been in Syria etc. Perhaps they view Americans as christians?

California is a "sanctuary state" so it would be far easier to get into southern California and remain hidden while planning any terrorist attacks.MMbelieve wrote: ↑December 1st, 2017, 8:33 pmI wondered if it was San Diego as a target and they used a well known landmark in the poster.

I agree, I lived there for 12 years! I liked my time there but am glad I left and won't go back.Fiannan wrote: ↑December 2nd, 2017, 1:20 pmCalifornia is a "sanctuary state" so it would be far easier to get into southern California and remain hidden while planning any terrorist attacks.MMbelieve wrote: ↑December 1st, 2017, 8:33 pmI wondered if it was San Diego as a target and they used a well known landmark in the poster.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
So, some station said it was on "an unnamed terror-related website"... Is that all?

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
ISIS can make all the threats they want. It is His house. He will protect His house if that is His wish to do so. We know He visits His temples as do angels and those in the Spirit World. The temples are dedicated to Him and in all the dedicatory prayers it is asked to protect the building from evil and the elements.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
Let me begin to say that I know God has all power but if the church members are not doing what they're supposed to be doing, then I don't see why this cannot happen. Especially if the House of the Lord has been polluted. I had this vision when I went to the temple last month. So yea, It truly wouldn't surprise me

To clarify...you had a vision of the San Diego temple being affected as implied in this threat?LdsMarco wrote: ↑December 4th, 2017, 9:05 pm Let me begin to say that I know God has all power but if the church members are not doing what they're supposed to be doing, then I don't see why this cannot happen.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
Not specifically San Diego. In general.
I just received an email that I was not the only one who saw this in vision. In fact, this person has more details of the vision and still works in the temple in Salt Lake.

Re: ISIS just threatened an LDS temple in California
okay thanks for clarifying. I actually am not sure that the temple in San Diego was specifically targeted. There were three other posters made as well, France, rome, and NYC
