WindRiver Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 It looks like this whole "Burn the Mormons" thing is catching on, sadly. So far this year Attempted Arson - torching of the LA Temple (the arsonist started a fire outside the temple when he was unable to get in, attempts at entry caught on camera) Successful arson of an LDS chapel in Washington LDS "youth" setting fire to their own building Successful arson - LDS chapel in Utah Marginally successful arson - LDS Chapel in Utah If the trend continues we will see 30 or more LDS buildings burned over the next year, possibly more.

MarginOfError Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Update to story. Now includes an uninhabited home.ksl.com - Suspicious fires now include 2 church buildings and a houseDo you know if my assumption is correct that the uninhabited home was next to the meetinghouse? Collateral damage, so to speak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 The first fire was at 3219 S 300 East 2nd fire at 2702 S. Main street House fire: 2983 S. 500 East So not on the same streets. Therefore could not be collateral damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Apparently he is a returned missionary who attended BYU recently. He told authorities he was angry at the church, but it wasn't over Pres. Packer's recent remarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdwlkr Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 It is sad that a member would burn out meeting houses but a returned missionary? I hope he can now get the help he needs and that in time he can move forward with his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 This morning the news reader said he had recently been excommunicated. This is pure speculation on my part, but perhaps he was unrepentant and angry over being excommunicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
