"In the 1950s there was a resistance from LDS Church leadership to having artistic portrayals of Jesus. For example, when Arnold Friberg created his series of Book of Mormon paintings, his initial portrayal of Christ visiting the Americas was rejected by LDS Church leadership. Friberg's final portrayal shows Christ at a distance, descending far from the sky.[24]"

Now Moroni lost his job to Jesus. I wonder which "prophets" objected to Fry guy's giant guns Jesus?

Probably J Fielding guy. He seemed to be an angry anal type of dude.

...this would help to explain what I flipped him the bird while at the SLC mission home.

At the time I felt a bit of regret, but no so much since then.

Back when I was a kid in the '50s and '60s, the prevailing LDS culture seemed to think it was tacky and too Catholic to have pictures of Jesus in one's home. No Joseph Smith or temple pictures, either.

... vouching for olderelder ....

I was in and out of my first Bishop's house all the time, cuz he was a neighbor,

and in and out of my second Bishop's house more than the average ward member because he would have the Aaronic priesthood and the matching aged Young Women over with frequency.

No Walls of Glory. There was a time when the church did not practice Idolatry.

In the late '60s, my aunt and uncle had on their wall, not only a picture of the SL temple, but pictures of the FP and entire Qo12, arranged by seniority.

What about Jesus?

Last Mormon Ward I was in you weren't truly part of the tribe if you didn't have Red Cloak Jesus' picture hanging in a conspicuous place just inside your front door.

I didn't have the picture and was not really part of the tribe.

The tribe is now called "Christus." Latin and so much more special.

These days you need as many LDS related app's as possible crowded onto the front screen your tiny smartPhone so that anything not sanctioned by Happy Valley can't get through and ruin you day, ruin your entire life, ruine your eternity.
