No disrespect to the mormons, just curious if anyone else has seen them. I went to utah a while ago, and I noticed them all over the place. When I got home, i did a little web surfing, and there were a whole lot more pictured that I missed. I did not provide a link, as to be respectful to the mormons. I just want to know if anyone else had noticed them, or if it was all in my mind.

You have to know that I try to keep an open mind to all things. I have known a lot of praticing Mormons and none of them seem in the least bit demonic (then again I am from Utah so I don't have a choice but interact with them.) You seem to mention that the Mormon temple has demonic pictures (I did go check out some web sites) but all I see is things to ward off evil spirits and stars and moons which could be demonic but also could be just that, stars and moons. The other thing is that the Mormons believe that they are the true church coming back from Jesus's time. If that is true then many religions may have split off from his church or possibly borrowed them. i.e. Mason's, Satanic or whatever. If I were Satan I would try to keep my church similar to the true church (not that I am saying that Mormonism is the true church) to keep other people from joining it. Just a couple of thoughts.

From the link you provided:
"The Big Dipper (Ursa Major) constellation symbol is found on the west tower of the Mormon Temple and was known by the Egyptians as the "Dragon of the Seven Stars." It was also known in the second and third centuries A. D. as the "Seven-headed Beast" of Revelation 13:1 - the arch enemy of the church of God!"
BWA HA HA HA HA
A constellation is the arch enemy of the church of God? A GROUPING OF STARS (and only "grouped that way because of our perspective from the Earth, and because of some poetic imagination)????
Tell the author to get better meds!!!
It also had both me and my hubby shaking our heads that the site said that people who practice witchcraft would be familiar with the symbols - t'aint so, between us we've been practicing witches for over 45 years and 1. we have NO idea what the author of that nutso site is talking about in 90% of the symbols, and 2. the author is just plain dead wrong about those we recognized.
Seriously, that person needs better drugs, or to get off them completely!!!

Wow. A lot of those really are Masonic and O.E.S. (etc.) symbols -part of the main reason people believe those organizations to be Satanic. I NEVER noticed that they were linked to the Mormons but I've also never seen a Mormon temple or ever known any practicing Mormons.

Well, occultism has been around longer than most other religions, and their symbols are often burrowed by other, newer, religions. I've never gone to a Mormon temple, but at least this should help you understand more the symbols you saw. Enjoy!!
Here is a website that has pictures of most religious symbols, and if you click on the pic, it tells you more about the symbol and what it represents. http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/blsymbols.htm
If you notice, alot of the symbols are the same, or very similar, or have one symbol inside another....I think it's interesting, and makes me wonder about the validity of symbols in general...
----Oh, so no one thinks I'm biased or trying to be mean, I have a celtic trinity knot (or triskette) tattoo...I have it to help me stay centered, and focused, and to remind me of part of my heritage (Irish).

Demonic? Occult? How about providing a link to the pictures? Otherwise your statement is only a statement of opinion, not fact.

Stars, Moon and Sun are symbols used by Paul to describe the degrees of heavenly glory. So would depicting them in the Bible make Paul a follower of Satan? Try reading the scriptures before you read and promote internet trash.

Have you actually read what we believe about our temples? See link below for what the symbols really mean. Remember, Jesus Christ is the center of our faith and teachings. I love Him with all my heart. Have a happy day.

The symbols you see are not a figment of your imagination. What you see is a summary of what goes on in the temple. If you want proof of that, have a look at a video and book series done by Chuck and Dolly Sackett "What's going on in there?" It will explain all that you need to know and more about the temple ceremonies.

many different cultures and religions use the same symbols. they are long ago created and no longer are the same meaning of what they were.
in 500 years there will be different means for all of the same symbols used today.
it means what the viewer wants them to mean.

I've been there too, but missed the demonic and occult symbols. What exactly are you referring to?
