....... and your post was sarcastic and derisive [I say to myself] .

I did some internet searching since that last post and wasn't able to glean any more than the original OP, however I did come across and reacquaint myself with the LDS food calculator for long-term storage, as well as a couple other related goodies: www.millennium-ark.net... (click on food storage on the left)

I apologize to anyone I offended by my earlier comments. It's not my way to make fun of people, particularly their religious affiliations. I went on a trip down memory lane at the first post to a time when I was going to college in Utah, and making extra money beyond my part-time job by smuggling booze from Idaho to the campus. It was the difference between going to school or not. That's a reason, but still a poor excuse for poking fun at the garments.

Again, my apologies.

[edit to fix bad link]

Cheers

Thanks for the quote.

I guess that I don't understand WHAT about this "vision" provoked such a controvery or conflict for the Church (unless there was some component that did not sink in to me, when I read it...)

It seems like something that any other "Prophet" or "General Authority" might "see" or say, to me!

I am also curious to know whether you, or others who are familiar with this "White City" controversy grew up in Utah (or places close to, or like, Utah), and whether it is possible that this discussion was something rather localized? I did not grow up in Utah--but did live there, and have found that there are many (at lease cultural, but also variants in interpretation of doctrine, and even practices) differences btw what Mormonism looked like on the East Coast, vs. what it looked like in Utah.

I wonder if this controversy occurred BEFORE or AFTER the time that I would have been aware of it (was I not born yet? a little kid? did it happen after I left the Church?. etc...). I would appreciate knowing the time frame, if anyone can provide it.

None of this is really pressing...I just find myself quite curious, as I was a very active, practicing, Mormon for a long time and have no recollection of hearing about anything like this...

Thanks!

Thanks!



I never heard about the White City vision in the context of controversy - I believe I took it as a vision of the Celestial Kingdom or something like that.

I grew up in Southern California, but spent a year in Utah for college - there was a big difference in the culture of the church there, but not much that I could see about the teachings going on. The culture difference within the church makes sense when you think about it - going from the minority to the majority. I really began to find things were not sitting right with me at all during this period, and soon afterward I made my exit.
