He says they are in way over their heads and are possibly 3 to 5 years behind schedule. They keep having to rework things. So that is going to increase the cost even more.

Far as most of them are concerned, any money spent by the brethren is done at the Lord's direction. <br /><br />I stand by what I think: most of this is done to further Nelson's ego.<br /><br />It's funny how active Latter-Day Saints will consider Brigham Young to be a prophet, but apparently he wasn't good enough to prevent damage to the temple via a dedicatory prayer. Apparently, we need modern engineering to handle that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-88669821463433015992023-02-01T08:25:15.076-08:002023-02-01T08:25:15.076-08:00I googled how much renovation of down town church ...I googled how much renovation of down town church buildings is costing and this is what I found. Mind you, this is only the cost to renovate the temple. Add onto that the Joseph smith building, Lion house, beehive house and the new construction of a building shown<br />Google comment below<br />That was in 1890s dollars. In today's dollars you would have to miltiply that figure by 30 or so. The following site estimates the cost in today's dollars as nearly $90 million. The Church used to report the construction costs for temples around the world prior to 1982 in the Deseret News Church AlmanacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-8442719411090556572023-02-01T08:20:41.217-08:002023-02-01T08:20:41.217-08:00I can’t think of a better way for the LDS church t...I can’t think of a better way for the LDS church to spend their 100 Billion dollars to stay tax exempt. Think about it, if a company with that amount of accrued wealth had to spend so much per year to stay tax exempt, this is the perfect project. It would be interesting to know how much this “renovation” is costing the church. Would members be outraged if they knew that the church was putting more tithing money towards construction cost of the down town buildings than on feeding the poor. In my opinion, the buildings don’t need to be renovated, but the LDS church found a way to spend a big chunk of money to stay tax free.

One of my ancestors was a superintendent in the construction of this temple and it's heartbreaking to witness the destruction.

Feels like leaders are reeking of unbelief. I read this prayer and see how every portion of the temple was loved and respected. So much sacrifice went into building it - where is the respect for it now? Where is the sacrifice? I don’t think I will ever set foot into it - I want to remember it how it used to be. What an absolute tragedy.<br /><br />https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/temples/details/salt-lake-temple/prayer/1893-04-06?lang=eng<br /><br />Daxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016065601947360006noreply@blogger.com
