Updated: 8:20 AM- The FBI was testing an envelope mailed to the Salt Lake City LDS temple Thursday to determine if the white powder it contained was dangerous.

At 4:05 p.m., a recorder's office employee working in the temple's annex opened a manila envelope that contained a smaller envelope with powder in it, said Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Scott Freitag.

"As soon as he saw it he put it down," Freitag said.

LDS security was summoned and put the envelopes and powder into a plastic bag. Security officers called 911 and the Salt Lake City Fire Department's Hazardous Material crew and FBI agents arrived.

The man who opened the envelope and two other employees were kept in the annex for more than an hour.

1. Whatever...

Who knows who did such a thing. Regardless, it won't hurt our side. LDS smartly tries to keep a relatively low profile. The more that a laser-like attention be focused on the LDS organization, the worse for them. Fundamentalists see it as a satanic cult, and secular people are annoyed by it.

2. Knowing them, they probably sent it to themselves

for a publicity stunt. Lying for the lord and all of that. That is what they do.

3. Exactly.

These are not honest people.
