The Ward Newsletter wrote: You've seen it in train stations, during wedding proposals and at several sporting events. Youths from the South Jordan River Utah Stake decided to add Temple Square to the list of massive flash mob locations.

Last April, more than 300 youth participated in a flash mob on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. A video of the event was posted to YouTube on Wednesday.


One of the really big trends in flash mobs these days is to post a "making of" video on YouTube.

Another big trend in flash mobs is to record yourselves in a studio and have it professionally mixed, instead of just using the microphone on your cell phone or camcorder.

If it was truly a flash mob...kids would have put it online immediately.

The flash mob video was in post-production, while the score was laid down by the BYU orchestra, the CGI segments were finished, that bit where Polygamy Porter ran out in front of the camera in his garments was edited out, etc.

And also, one of the kids bore his testimony about the gospel and the church not being the same thing, and how we should find an appropriate balance between the two in our lives, which had to be rewritten by Boyd K. Packer, re-recorded by that kid out on Temple square, and then re-inserted back into the original video stream.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

H. sapiens Deserves To Go Extinct
Episode #45,232,109

Julie gluten free mother
SALT LAKE CITY, UT
Everyone is different, my body shook with sobs as I watched this. I was over come by the spirit. I even liked them being in casual clothes. Shows the spirit can be there anytime, not just at church when a person is dressed up. I LOVE OUR YOUTH

Isn't gluten specifically endorsed by God for the use of man? I mean it says right there is Section 89 that wheat is for man, and wheat has gluten in it. I think that gluten free Julie needs to reevaluate her faithfulness.

Bearing testimonies for the video is a little weird, though. I mean, why do that? Why not let things speak for themselves? The testimony business was too "in your face."



I agree this was the weak link.
