OK, I'll take the flaming if I'm wrong. They just announced on the local news radio station that the Moroni statue toppled off the SLC LDS temple from the earthquake this morning. I hope this is true.

I hadn't heard about that, but I hope it is true, too. I'm not going to flame you.

Could we take a message from this?

Moroni is still up there but he lost his horn LOL.

UPDATE: You are correct. Moroni IS still up, His trumpet fell down.

But his arm is up so he can still get your money.

But how can the statue serve as a symbol of Joseph Smith's church if it doesn't have a horn?

I won't laugh at the earthquake as that is unnerving at a time when people are on edge,

That said, moroni breaking IS FUNNY!!!

DIL said *experts* at universities expect a bigger one sometime today.

Yes. SLC has a significant fault line.

A geographical and a couple spiritual fault lines too

95% chance the quake this morning was the main shock.
Saw a repost on twitter of an image warning another big quake was coming today signed "Stake Officials". Well that's official!

Moroni lost his horn? Ok TBM's spin that into a faith promoting story!

The spin will be that people need to tithe more. Moroni dropped his trumpet so that he can use both hands to scoop up your increased tithing dollars.

Lori was married to Moroni in a previous life. If they check her jail cell, they'll likely find the trumpet. Moroni sent it to her as a sign to stay the course. She'll use the trumpet to signal "The End" and lead her 144,000 to the Hereafter come July.

We expect that she'll also be able to advise us as to the mystery of what happened to all that toilet paper.

They could replace the trumpet with a microphone, a beer bong or a cock.

Guess now Moroni will have to blow it out his ass.

The horn is going to be replaced with a cell phone as the modern communication method for Moroni...

yes, "cell phone" needs to be one of those brick phones with an extendable antenna from the 1990s. Or replace horn with a stock ticker or retail cash register.

Photoshop warriors unite! We need lots of pictures and memes of this statue! This is going to be HILARIOUS!!!

A gold-plated angel, a general, losing his horn.

Moroni, thou art a loser!

Looks like he is giving heaven a hand job.

Moroni is servicing the invisible man who lives in the sky.

The servants of ghawd now have a clear indication as to who will be saved and who will be burned as stubble:

Anyone who smiles at the thought of Moroni losing his horn;

Anyone who tries to make a witty post, comment or blog entry about Moroni losing his horn;

Anyone who suggests replacing Moroni with Dinah blowing her horn;

Anyone who hears or reads any of the above and grins or laughs or even worse, likes, approves or forwards it:

You're all going to be smoothies in the hereafter, later to be called the thereafter. Yeah, you're going to mormon hell!

See you there!!!

I'm addicted to smoothies now. Hopefully in the hereafter this addiction will move to my lower regions.

so much for discernment...they should have done the earthquake upgrades ~5yrs ago

Whose fault is it?

So if I understand the situation, ghawd is in charge of things so earthquakes can happen because that's how he built the world, or earthquakes can happen because he orders it.

So the mormon church gets to write the script, so that no matter what happens, it's ghawd's will?

Didn't lightening hit the Angel Moroni last summer on the Nauvoo temple? Am I seeing a trend here with Moroni.

Yes it did. Lightning also hit the Bountiful and Oquirrh Mountain Moronis.

Moroni never had the reputation for being horny like old brother joe.

I heard it got repaired/ re-installed already.
Good thing it didn't happen on a Sunday. Talk about embarrassed suits.
