Reply #29: I disagree - Mormon reps absolutely deceive to accomplish Church goals

[AVoiceInTheDark]

I live near a proposed LDS Temple site in Fort Collins CO. The temple was originally announced to be 17,000 square feet to "softly" introduce the idea to the general public. Then once the specific site was chosen it changed to 27,000 square feet (few outside the affected neighborhood now care since it's not in their backyard). At an HOA meeting for a neighborhood right next to the proposed site the LDS representative implied the Church was trying to work with the neighbors by making themselves available in early October, "far in advance of any of the City of Fort Collins hearings" -- yet all the while the most important meeting was at the county level, and that meeting was September 6. He also stated the largest room held 50 individuals and implied there would be almost no impact in traffic -- apparently, there are several rooms that hold 50 individuals. The parking lot size has also changed from 200, to 475 (loud outcry) to 275. As I experience the disparity between LDS developers and what I thought were LDS values, I have to wonder what an LDS presidential candidate would say to become president, then what he would do after becoming president.
