When I first heard of this incident, my gut reaction was anger and disgust at the streetpreachers. However, as I thought of it, I told Bob that what should be done at the next Conference (figuring that they will be there again, being offensive again) is everyone going to Conference should buy a single flower - one per person - and tape a message to the stem, saying, "The Lord loves you.". Then, walk by these people on purpose and lay the flower at their feet and smile sweetly at them. Can you imagine these people with mound of tens of thousands of flowers around them?! Let them be the irrational ones. Let us rise above it and be the examples of Christ. That would be something to take a picture of, wouldn't it?
I don't know if the media would pick it up, but one can only hope. Even if they didn't, it would be very satisfying to know that we didn't descend to their level. And, as has been noted, the Lord will deal with them in His own time. We just need to be patient enough to let Him do that. As offensive as it is to see someone desecrating temple garments, the garments themselves aren't what is sacred - they are a symbol of our devotion to God. But they only have any real significance when actually worn by someone that is true to the covenants made with God. Rusty >Well, here I might agree with you.
