On Monday my son in law who is not Mormon said they were removing the angel today. I went over and it was back on top again. I asked a couple of workers who were doing some repairs to the concrete sidewak what happened today. They said they took the old angel down and put a new angel up. They said the old one was tarnished with age (20 years) and they could see the difference when they were side by side on the ground.
A couple of internal comments to self. So it was not real gold plated but fake gold plated because real gold does not tarnish. Is there anything in the Church that is not fake? We were all lead to believe it was a good plated angel on top of temple. Yes, I could see the difference with the new one there now.
It required a crane and a hoisting crew to do the whole renewal. That meant that some workers had to go inside the temple and up into the tower to undo the securing mechanism. It also probably required some electrical guys to deal with the grounding system and maybe have that inspected by an electrical inspector. Now I do not know many Church members who are hoisting engineers, electrical people or inspectors in Edmonton. So I guess it is okay for non members to enter God's house. Back in 1960's I was going through a divorce and the church took away my temple recommend because they said "I had bad feelings" and "no unclean thing can enters God House." That was from a General Authority directly to me. My, how times have changed.
I am always amazed at what goes on with the Church.
