[TruthTalk] Street Preaching

[Caroline Wong]

From FAIR Defending Mormonism   Why We Should Love the Street Preachers by Lance Starr Another General Conference has come and gone. With it, came more disruptions from the bands of "Street Preachers" who regularly show up with their signs and slogans to berate and belittle believing Latter-day Saints. As one member of FAIR who attended Conference this year noted, "The good weather seems to bring out all the kooks and nuts." Unfortunately, the higher numbers of protestors also seem to bring out even more vitriol and hatred. Especially disturbing was the approximately five protestors who held up female temple garments and proceeded to treat them rudely by blowing their noses into them and rubbing them against their buttocks. Aside from the fact that these men show an unnatural preoccupation with women's underwear, they were able to provoke at least three confrontations with LDS attendees, one of whom was thrown into jail and given a $20,000 bond for trying to take the garments from one of the protesters.1 read the rest at http://www.fairlds.org/apol/antis/200303.html
