Can we think of some good protest signs for protesting mormon church tomorrow?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

I was thinking "If you can have your five underaged wives, why can't i have my one adult wife?"

however it might be considered bitchy and inflammatory.

[amdezurik]

1. how about...

You keep out of MY Holy Underwear and I will keep out of YOURS

[LisaM]

3. LOL, isn't it "magic" underwear?

I definitely think that should be worked into the theme. Along with a farewell to tax-exempt status.

[amdezurik]

5. well I sure don't claim mine is magic

:) just what's inside :P

[nichomachus]

2. You say "bitchy" and "inflammatory" as if they were bad things

How about

"Marriage is a civil contract" --Brigham Young

[Howardx]

7. BRILLIANT!!!!!! WINNER!!!!!!!!BINGO!!!!!!

as you may be able to tell i think thats a great idea, im sure plenty of statements of that type could be found and used on signs!

[GodlessBiker]

4. Bitchy is good. "Traditional Marriage: 7 Wives?"

Use their own history and their own evolving standard of marriage against them.

[Jamastiene]

14. Or "Traditional Marriage: 7 Child Brides?"

I like your idea best so far.

[jonnyblitz]

6. I like that one ! I am not bringing one.

:hi:

[JackBeck]

15. Hey, got your PM but my CrackBerry won't let me respond.

Was giving a workshop this afternoon so when I get home you'll hear from me...

[hvn_nbr_2]

8. "No tax exemptions for magic underwear" nt

[FreeState]

9. "Keep your doctrine out of my covenants"

The LDS Church has a book of scripture called "The Doctrine and Covenants" that ironically says:

“We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied.” Doctrine and Covenants 134:9

[Donnachaidh]

10. Something along the line of outing some of their celestial ancestors

might just piss them off to no end. :evilgrin:

Or a sign saying -- are you SURE none of your ancestors weren't GAY? Might be worth the time, too....

[norepubsin08]

11. Go choke on your secret underwear!

[norepubsin08]

12. Navoo Illinois had it right!

[Jamastiene]

13. Quit using the Bible as a weapon of hate. Jesus wept. n/t

[bluedawg12]

16. "Are you throwing a Fancher Party for gays?"

They will know what it means. The cult slaughtered settlers passing through their State, the settlers were the Fancher party. Nice people.

Role in Mountain Meadows massacre
A controversial issue is the extent of Young's involvement in the Mountain Meadows massacre,<11> which took place in Washington County in 1857.

Authorities in Iron County had sent a messenger to Salt Lake City, a three-day ride, seeking direction from Young. As governor, Young had promised the federal government he would protect immigrants passing through Utah Territory. But he had also allegedly told local Native American leaders that they now had his permission to steal cattle from these wagon trains.

Over 120 men, women and children were killed by the Mormons and, possibly, their Native American allies.

It is clear that local Mormons were the principal perpetrators.

United States Army officer James Henry Carleton was sent to investigate the massacre and was convinced that the Mormons were the perpetrators, most probably with the agreement of Young.

Only children survived, the murdered members of the wagon train (known as the Fancher Party) were left unburied, and the surviving children were farmed out to be taken care of by local Mormon families. Some of these children, who had seen their families killed, recalled seeing white men dressed as Paiute among the attackers.

Carleton examined the scene of the massacre and was convinced that the Paiute had played a minimal role, and that the attack had been planned and executed by the Mormons.

The remains of about forty people were found and buried and Carleton had a large cross made from local trees, the transverse beam bearing the engraving, "Vengeance Is Mine, Saith The Lord: I Will Repay" and erected a cairn of rocks at the site.

A large slab of granite was put up on which he had the following words engraved:

"HERE 120 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE MASSACRED IN COLD BLOOD EARLY IN SEPTEMBER, 1857. THEY WERE FROM ARKANSAS."

For two years the monument stood as a warning to those travelling the Spanish Trail through Mountain Meadow. In 1861, Young brought an entourage to Mountain Meadows and had the cairn and cross destroyed. As his men took the cairn apart, Young is reported to have said, "Vengeance is mine and I have taken a little".
