Cody Quirk calls my attention to this article, which was published on 15 January:<\/p>\n

\u201cGolden statue of angel Moroni placed atop Philly Mormon temple, marking \u2018significant milestone'\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

He says that the anti-Mormons are running wild in the comments section. \u00a0I wasn\u2019t able to find<\/em> the comments section, though. \u00a0Which may well be a divine blessing to me, a \u201ctender mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n

We completed a temple in Kirtland and in Nauvoo; and did not the bells of hell toll all the time we were building them? They did, every week and every day.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
