I served as a missionary in the Nevada Las Vegas Mission 1977-1978 under Ronald M Patterson. That hymn Called to Serve still touches my heart.

[@DarronSanderson]

Why only 1 year? 🤔

[@zHollow]

I love when large groups sing in tune 😌

[@DarronSanderson]

I like when large groups of the Lords church sing praises to Him.

[@academyofchampions1]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@parisfox5826]

Build it and they will come.

[@shireecox122]

Love it! 🥰

[@henryponnefz1444]

Beautiful!

[@CalledtoShare]

Amen!

[@PaultheCanadian]

I haven't seen such a peaceful crowd gathering on youtube for years. Very nice respectable people. Let them build a temple this is the USA not a banana republic.

[@bryancsimmons]

The locals don't oppose the temple, they oppose the height. Be a good neighbor and respect the zoning laws. If a large synagogue were built in Utah LDS members would oppose.

[@Glen.Danielsen]

@@bryancsimmons Bryan brother, let us reason together. Your reflect is incorrect on each point, friend of rend. Listen to the media interviews of those who say nay; their common croon is that an LDS temple is not appropriate on the site at all. Zoning laws are not germane to the issue because none are being violated. Latter-day Saints would never oppose a synagogue being built. Guy of sly, can’t we be friends? Latter-day Saint temples are beautiful; this one would be a diamond in your desert. God bless you good neighbor! 💛🙏🏽

[@CryptoCPA]

@@bryancsimmonsthat’s patently false. There are synagogues and a very large Hindu temple in Utah. Do some research before you throw out false arguments to support your opinion. People in Utah are some of the most religiously tolerant people in the world, given that they experienced terrible religious persecution in the 1800’s at the hands of not only private citizens but state and the federal gov as well in a country that was founded on the right to religious freedom.

Vegas needs more light, (spiritual light.) 💡

[@sandraferagen5235]

[@CalledtoShare]

Amen!

[@robertsolomon1841]

Just build it without a spire (at first), like in Boston.

[@DaveGarber1975]

"Sin City" needs less casinos and more temples. Kudos!

[@carolyearsley]

I'm sure that the sin city mafia has its fare share of secret names, handshakes, signs and tokens. No need for any more

[@ijk1783]

More temples for what? I understand what they are used for, but for everyone else they are useless unless they can use them as well. Cool, we built a really neat temple, but our friends can't join us because...

[@davidfrey5654]

amen to that!

[@weirdsweetcoolplants]

I wonder what they would do if we tried building 4 temples around there like we are doing in Mexico City instead of just 1, heehee.😅😂

[@Terminatorguy34]

Some of the strongest members of the church live in Vegas

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Utterly odd that the media didn’t include this spontaneous wonderfulness in their reports. The karens got all their mention and attention.

[@reneenolan3163]

It wasn’t spontaneous, come on. All dressed in blue blocking the way of citizens.

[@Glen.Danielsen]

@@reneenolan3163 Renee, sister of sullied whisper, of salacious solution! The presence of the delightful Latter-day Saints was not spontaneous, but the singing appeared to be. Joy was not a ploy! Sister Nolan of foreign residue, matter from lanced boil, ooze from squeezed pustule: why utter false mutter, wrong song, sly lie? The Saints in blue were not there to block anyone, distress access, clog arteries! You seem to have a bit of hate in your spate. Sister of sour nipple, orb of bitter juice: why not smile a while, be friends with our sends?

[@reneenolan3163]

@@Glen.Danielsen all I was hoping to demonstrate was both sides are eerily similar. Both sides feel like they are fighting for right. The harder the Church pushes the more they will be disliked. The church needs to back off. A spire is not worth losing the good name and reputation of the church for! The rituals on the inside are what you want . Take the win!

[@Glen.Danielsen]

@@reneenolan3163 Renee, you pack so much untruth and ignorance into a single paragraph that a conversation with you has no point. If it makes you feel good to defecate on the internet, then have at it. Our church is being bullied by area Karens, whiners, sad pygmies, that’s all. You’re muted.

[@weirdsweetcoolplants]

I dont try to get into poltics or anything like that too much, if at all sometimes, but I just gotta say, if the non lds people can build gambling and strip clubs in a city founded and started by lds people, then why cant the lds people build a temple in a now majority non lds city? We let them in and overrun the city with filth, now let us have our bit of holiness too. I mean its only fair. I dont think most of us enjoy having all the clubs around, but they get to have them there, so why not let us build a temple even if they dont enjoy looking at it? Also, for any sideliner non lds people who dont enjoy the clubs either, well thanks for your support. We hope you dont get too annoyed by a having a temple here either. At least it is something good that will be built here though, so you can take solace in that at least.😊❤

[@CalledtoShare]

Thanks for the comment!

[@reneenolan3163]

All those members or a vast majority approved of the job and zoning in the past. I just wanted to see it where it legally fits! I would do likes for the Church to follow the laws and quit asking for exceptions, they always seem to want more!

[@CalledtoShare]

Asking for an exception for a steeple, correct? Is that really going to negatively impact the neighborhood?

[@weirdsweetcoolplants]

@@CalledtoShare I think it has more to do with the building height limitations, but I could also see some people saying it could impact the scenic views or something..... I do want to say that I agree with the church more that it's a special case specifically because it is a temple, not just a casino, theater, or mall. I do wonder though how much it would impact the temple look and significance if they did actually take 20-30 feet off the steeples of temples they wanted to build in smaller cities to let the temple still stand out but maybe blend into the overall look of the rest of the city a tiny bit more. I mean, we are used to temples being tall, but if you got something the size of Notre Dame (for size comparison) built in Orem, St George, or Logan, I'm sure the residents would be a little iffy on it too....

[@CalledtoShare]

Thanks for the comment.

[@greententacle22]

You know, this whole thing is ridiculous. People aren't opposing the building of the temples here and in a few other places, they're just opposing the height of the steeples because of city ordinances. The church members have turned out like drones because they want to make sure the church gets what it wants no matter what. But as someone that was born and raised in the church and is a seventh-generation member, I can tell you the height of the steeple has absolutely nothing to do with the function of temple at all. In fact, some of the temples, like the Paris temple, don't even have a steeple. The steeple is purely aesthetic. So if the church really wants to build temples in these locations rather than turning it into a big fight and trying to make it a referendum on the religion itself like many of the members attending these meetings are trying to do and like many in the comments are trying to do, which it's not, just remove the steeple and call it good. Use common sense for once instead of letting the church control your each and every move.

[@The_Man_Chidi]

What if God insists on the Steeple for this Temple?

[@greententacle22]

@@The_Man_Chidi Chidi, I'm sure you're a very sweet person, but as you know, the steeple on a temple serves no function, it's just aesthetics. God is also a God of knowledge, wisdom, and logic. It's not logical to go to war, so to speak, over something as superfluous as a steeple on a temple. In fact, the greater wisdom would be to get along with the neighbors and follow the law of the land. However the church just wants to push this through because the church and the leaders are used to getting what they want so they'd rather fight over this issue than take the more reasonable, logical, and wise approach.

[@davidfrey5654]

Don't be fooled. If they could, they'd have the whole temple scrapped. But they know they can't. So they're trying to do the next best thing, change the traditional shape of it.

[@greententacle22]

@@davidfrey5654 The church itself has already done that in many instances, with some temples having unusual shapes and some not having any steeples. The church knew going in what the various city ordinances were but they would rather fight them than follow their own teachings. While members usually try their best, that's not really too unusual for the church itself.

[@DavidPeel-fo9xv]

I don’t see why someone else should dictate what a building should look like if they don’t own it.

[@ijk1783]

You realize that you are not making friends with your neighbors? Haven't we learned anything from Kirtland, Missouri or Nauvoo? This usually ends really bad and that's NOT how it's supposed to work.

[@carolyearsley]

In Kirtland it was Smith's illegal fractional reserve banking scandal. In Nauvoo Brigham Young had to leave suddenly in the dead of winter because the Feds were going to arrest him, and others in his inner circle, for counterfeiting. It has always been about money.

[@CalledtoShare]

How are they not making friends? They were singing a song. Also, part of civic dialogue is having dialogue.

[@carolyearsley]

Smith did illegal fractional reserve banking in Kirtland, and Young was a counterfeiter in Nauvoo. You deleted my last post about this. Can't you handle your own history?

[@CalledtoShare]

Nothing was deleted.

[@carolyearsley]

@@CalledtoShare OK, well I'll include the rest of what I originally wrote. The reason Brigham Young had to escape Nauvoo mid winter was because the Feds were after him and his inner circle of friends for their counterfeiting operation. He had to get out of the U.S. to avoid arrest. They weren't driven out.

[@Trit7]

*Latter-day Saint Temple, not LDS 😊

[@hpagalla]

such a show off.... The Lord never taught this.....a total lack of empathy for anybody.

[@CalledtoShare]

What are you talking about? Participating in the civic process is exactly what God would want us doing.

[@hpagalla]

@@CalledtoShare by singing in the crowd??? Hmmm do you guys also fight in court against Porn Industries, Gay Marriage, Governtment Corruption, War industries, Cigar Industries, Alcoholic Beverages Industries, etc. ??

[@CalledtoShare]

They were singing before the meeting started and then went into the meeting to make public comments.

[@hpagalla]

@@CalledtoShare i know, so all people can see, am I right?

[@CalledtoShare]

Oh boy

[@reneenolan3163]

What about “ Obey. Honor and sustain the law? Sheer numbers are great from the city where the Temple is to be built but all these people were not from there! Such a show of force only further alienates the neighbors. If you claim they are all from the temple district you are proving the point-it doesn’t belong in this residential area. No one bought their homes knowing all the traffic that will come AFTER 3-4 years of construction. Just pony up the costs and put it where it belongs!

[@me5768]

The Law of God supersedes man's laws

[@CalledtoShare]

Going to your council meetings is under the law. They are work with elected officials to seek the proper approvals.

[@johnnyonthespot1665]

Renee, I don't know that there is anything unlawful about showing support for something you believe in. We don't know where all these folks are from, again its simply a show of support. Also, Vegas is a tourist town, its good to give a reminder that not everyone who comes there is attracted by alcohol and gambling, they come for other reasons as well, and thats important to impress upon the council.

[@drew123saulpaul]

There has been no breach of law. They are working to build the Temple within the Law.

[@DavidPeel-fo9xv]

The law wouldn’t have been an issue if governments would just stay out of regulating properties and arbitrarily deciding what works and what doesn’t. In my humble opinion, if someone or an organization owns land, it should be theirs and theirs alone and no one should interfere with it unless an individual’s rights are infringed upon.
