      The Purpose of the Angel Statue on the Temple

      What is the PURPOSE of the angel statue on the Mormon Temples?
      2 Tim 2:1-2

      Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

      Moroni symbolizes the Restoration of the Gospel.

      Do Mormons wear jewelry depicting or representing this angel?

      According to the latest episode of The Simpsons, it serves as a warning indicator that Lady Gaga is approaching--it starts spinning.

      religious conversation dwells chiefly, or even frequently,
      on the faults of other people's religions, she/he is in a bad condition."

      It's not on all of them. The Hawaii temple that looks like an attempt to recreate Solomon's Temple doesn't have Moroni on top.

      I've seen several cuff links and tie pins......I personally don't have any.... I have my Young Women Recognition which is a pendant with the Salt Lake Temple on it.



      And sheesh....I give you a straight, honest and kind answer and you give me the third degree?! That's gratitude for you!

      Why do you want to know?

      a) Because you are just curious and wondered.

      b) Because you plan to do some mocking.

      c) There really is no "c" unless you can come up with a "none of the above," but this way you can't say that "a" and "b" constituted a false dichotomy.
