I doubt the men who asked you to move were actually Apostles. You probably won't asked to move because of anything you were talking about either, but were simply standing in a place that's not for standing. For example, if you were standing right in front of the Temple that is reserved for wedding photos, you would have been asked to move so people can take wedding photos.Most of what Ironhold said, simply isn't true. I was just standing outside in front the Mormon Temple on a public sidewalk one day and was merely discussing "general" theology with a friend (It wasn't even about Mormons), and was accosted by two Mormon "apostles" who came out of the temple doors in suits and informed me if I didn't move on the police would be called. We had only been there maybe ten minutes and were only talking between ourselves, but had apparently been overheard by someone and reported.
Got a reference for this?Probably 70% of the police force in Salt Lake are Mormons.
Iron hold explained this.The "recommend" church status can not be conferred by just any Mormon, and it certainly can not be conferred on any non-Mormon person (Christian, or otherwise). Only the Bishop, or an apostle of the church authorized by the Bishop can confer the "recommend" status, and then only to a particularly "devout" adherent to Mormon theology.
I'm sorry, but you sound very parnoidly biased here.As for their church organization in general, I would compare it most closely to the Mafia, or the Gulan movement in Turkey. They have their hands in almost every aspect of life in SLC, and have infiltrated every state and federal run institution, as well as dominating the local press media with their xenophobic and archaic slave based views towards women as equals.
The Salvation Army Food Bank, Public Housing, Local Businesses, Workfair Food Stamp Office and the City Police all answer to the Mormon Church.
