Will the new temple have a Moroni statue? And how tall will be the new spire?

It was an unfortunate design. Excited for the new one

Or, you may want to turn the sound up!!

Thank you, James. I hope you will go into the other offerings by the FHTL--things that could bring family reunions alive--Jeneopardy, Wheel of Family Fortune, crossword puzzles, word searches, coloring pages, and match games, using pictures and data from your Family Search database!

How about helping people in the community that are trying to just get by p. S just curious what is the cost of one temple

Are you related to Sandra Tanner? I thank God almost every day for that wonderful woman.

The Provo and Ogden temples came about when David O McKay wanted an assessment made on how to make the existing temples more efficient. It turned out building two new temples made more sense than extensive remodels of existing temples. Money was tight and so David O McKay wanted the same design for both because it would be cheaper. They were the first temples based around multiple instruction rooms surrounding a central celestial room. They were very efficient temples and a lot of ordinance work was done in them. That’s the important part. The temples might be temporal structures but the ordnances performed in them are eternal.

Thanks Br. Tanner for the video! For those wondering I actually have an uncle who worked in the department of the church that decided the demolition of the Provo temple. So for those curious basically what it comes down to is the issue was when the temple was built in the 1970s it was made of novel materials and innovative materials of it's time, however, these materials later proved problematic. The issue that sealed the fate of the Provo temple though was that the foundation of the temple had gone bad and would have to be replaced, combine that with the fact the outside walls also had issues, and all the piping and wires, ventilation and everything had to be taken out too, plus the temple itself would not withstand a major earthquake. As a result when it came down to it, if you take out the walls, and foundation, and have to replace all the wires and pipes you start wondering what is left. Hence it was easier to tear it down and rebuild it than try to fix it. Plus with the new temple, design they are going to make it larger and give it more rooms for temple work which many temple leaders deeply wanted. The Ogden temple, which is this temple's sister had the same problems. In fact, plans for the demolition of Provo were known back in 2010 when Ogden was being redesigned as the temple are identical so they decided to do both at the same time. However, Salt Lake, Jordan River, and other temple renovations took priority as they were in more desperate need of repair and the church didn't want to close all the biggest temples at the same time for renovation (we had fewer temples back then). So Provo was put as a lower priority, especially as the Provo City Center temple took precedence due to the tabernacle burning down. The point I guess I'm trying to make is this wasn't a spontaneous decision, the problems with this design had been known about for a long time. It is sad to see it go, but also at the end of the day it is a house of the Lord and we must keep the lord's houses working so they can do their work for him. We try our best but sometimes we have to fix our mistakes. Once the new replacement is built it will help serve the lord in the same way the old one did. (Remember even the temple at Jerusalem has been rebuilt multiple times in its history too). The new temple is going to be great and will be able to do far more work than the old one was able to do and do it much better, we need the temples working for all the work we have ahead. It's going to be great, I'm looking forward to it.

Where did was it placed?

I don’t buy the excuses for why it’s coming down. There are way many more buildings in Utah County still standing that have worse infrastructure problems.

Despite massive loss of members, this cult continue to bleed the gullible out of their money to build and maintain these " Temples" in which they do rituals stolen from Freemasonry.

I still don't know why the Provo Temple needed to come down! What a sad day when a temple is destroyed. It was an iconic temple which showed up every time there was a BYU football game. It will be curious to see what shows up over the next few seasons.

No more wedding cake temples.

Why? 😪

I understand that the old building needed rebuild due to some poor infrastructure for its plumbing, electrical, and main structure and to meet current building codes.

I understand that most the main panels were carefully removed before the demolition rather than destroyed. Does anyone know if there is a plan to reuse them?

That is so sad to watch! I was there from the ground breaking through the dedication and beyond.

I didn't know it was going to be torn down entirely!

So sad. So unnecessary. I'm so heartbroken. 😢😢

Was the Provo Temple torn down with the intention of building a bigger temple?

The Ogden Temple was of similar design and the inner core was saved when it was remodeled a few years ago, I'm curious why the Provo Temple was not similarly remodeled instead of being completely gutted. ... thx for the posting!

I went to the Provo Temple Dedication. What a gift this temple has been to so many!

Can't worship the golden calf, not biblical. Maybe a cross would be more appropriate!

No one is asking, Why? What's the reason for the removal of this statue?

The second temple I’d been inside after getting my endowments. The end of an era.

Where will you go, Moroni? Stay! Wow that's really sad. Moroni is what makes these temples look special. He's always been there with that trumpet. Maybe he could join the ex-Mormons! Thanks so much for posting. 🤗

It's pretty moving for me to watch Moroni kind of spin around like he's flying through the heavens. Very beautiful, thanks for posting it.

I would have loved to have been there for this, but wasn't able. Thanks for video taping it and sharing.

Can you imagine staking that into your front lawn? 😅

I wonder if those men know how lucky they are to be apart of that!! 💜

Very interesting, thank you so much! Is there any possibility to edit my family tree?

Very unimpressive fireworks. You would think they would be better.

How true! For 150 years my paternal family proudly claimed ancestry to the King of Sweden. My research and DNA proved it NOT so. Many of the family hung on to their belief and refused to remove him from their family tree. Really? DNA does not lie and they would prefer to proudly claim a man who used his position, wealth and power to dance around Europe with his pants around his ankles? Just found your videos. Great info and presentation. Thank you!

James, I vaguely remember .....hopefully many years ago, that I made a comment to you about my possible royal ancestors which I likewise had done nothing to support the claim and you said some along the same lines as your presentation to debunk my supposition. 😥

I love this video of GR#1. Look forward to the rest. Thanks for this series.

If Robert had ever been interviewed in such a venue he'd have been more forgiving of her difficulties. It has been my experience that those who are able to give a clear focused and concise reply in such times are more often than not more regurgitating a canned presentation than they are giving reasoned reply to the questions posed. The only difficulty I had at all with this particular presenter is entirely my own shortfall in that I sometimes have problems with accents and in this instance fell into my worst difficulty of getting lost in the melodious timber and losing my own focus in my enjoyment of same. As to her physical attributes I hardly think they are at all germane though I'd agree with the observation and would offer apology if Mz van den Belt is at all offended.

Awesome thank you. Would there ever be an option to attach/upload files or documents in each persons box?

Thank you James, I am a retired title researcher of 45 years and have been looking at online genealogy web sites. So far I really like myheritage and Findmypast, I totally agree with you that you have to lock down the location where your ancestors lived before you do anything else. I find myself working out of myheritage and syncing to family search and using Findmypast and maps to verify the 5-6 mile rule. It has helped me accelerate my research immensely. In title searching you can’t make any mistakes, when we produce a title report and policy it had better be right, unless you like paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in claims. When I started my genealogy research I was appalled at the quality of records but is is getting much better now. About thirty years ago I purchased Salt Lake County’s database and re-indexed it so I could do fast and accurate search because the county was not properly inputting the data correctly. My company is the only one in the world that has this database. I enjoy your CZcams channel, keep up the good work. DJ Cope

Wonderful work! it makes a lot easier to keep track of names and roots and ordinances.

Thank you, appreciate the information.

This woman was found to be insane and schizophrenic following her having sent death threats to herself and to a magistrate, making them appear to have come from defendants she was prosecuting. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1989/03/11/ex-prosecutor-found-insane-in-case-of-faked-threats/b2ebc90f-0205-4949-847a-46019cc8ff1e/? www.upi.com/Archives/1988/03/21/Prosecutor-accused-of-faking-Sikh-death-threats/8047574923600/

I could boost the audio... but nothing can be done about the horrible screen capture. Note to all... if you expect to be efficient, if you expect likes or to be followed... then pay attention to your output. Zoom in while you're instructing... the whole page is not necessary. James: I like your teaching style, but your screen is UNreadable and therefore, your instructions are not clear. I could not follow your "standard" vs. "input" section regarding San Bernardino.

Just beautiful James.

Yes, there is a selection in the Photos part of FamilySearch. It is in the Details section of the individual photograph view.

James, is there no way to rotate a photo image within Familysearch?

Great instruction. I'm just getting into doing my family history and working with familysearch.org. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this video!

I always thought a GEDCOM would have a diagrammatical TREE', showing info boxes that could be added to or altered and updated, that could be copied and shared with other family members who could add their own stuff. My on line tree is like that, but without the ability to transfer to DVD--disappointing.

Not the best performance I have ever seen from a CEO. She seems easily distracted, continually looking off screen and the background noise needs to be turned down by the sound recordist. I'm not convinced she knows much about family history. Nice legs though.

I was so excited to find your presentation, sadly the visual appearance render it unusable--thought maybe you should know this from someone who appreciates the work and effort that goes into this.
