[Donuthole]

The storage shed behind our church was burned to the ground on Friday. The Lord's Church will always be persecuted.

[old_gregg]

wow. arson is pretty serious.

[Viking]

you're making a serious statement when you use candle wax

[All-American]

I guess they ran out of sidewalk chalk.

I like how he drew a big dong. I've seen variations of that dong in graffiti all over the world... dude is the Zorro of dong, and seriously gets around.

[TripletDaddy]

declasse, SeattleUte. You have crossed the line this time.

This is faith affirming. Even the emissaries of the adversary recognize us as being the modern house of Israel by marking our building with a swastika.

I was laughing about that too. It seems like this one is a gun too because it looks like gunfire coming out the tip.

Oh, is THAT what that is? Silly me: this whole time, I thought that the young ruffians were Civil War buffs:

Found some candle wax grafitti on the windows of a couple of the church doors tonight while doing lockup... the kitchen door (attached) and the primary room door.

Classy.

Duthie Hill?

[DU Ute]

Duthie Hill?

You think Sister Hill had something to do with this? From what I've heard about Brother Hill that would explain the strange looking penis.

I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Yea, consider this story where a guy burned down an LDS church in Roswell, NM about 12 years ago (See US vs Grassie):

http://www.justice.gov/crt/crim/selcases.php

An investigation into the arson and desecration of Mormon churches in New Mexico revealed that defendant Grassie had committed the crimes because he believed that the LDS church was responsible for keeping him from being with the woman he loved. For eight years preceding the vandalisms and arson, Grassie had carried on an affair with a married member of the LDS church in Roswell. Grassie and his paramour, Shirlene Jensen, sang together in a professional yodeling group and carried on their affair when they traveled around New Mexico for performances. In January 1998, Jensen confessed the affair to her husband and broke off both her romantic and professional relationships with Grassie. On January 26, 1998, Jensen told Grassie that her Mormon faith did not permit her to continue the affair and that she and her husband would soon be moving to Arizona. Shortly after that conversation, Grassie began harassing the Jensen family by breaking into their home, stealing from them, and vandalizing their home and property.

After several months, beginning in May 1998, Grassie turned his anger toward the Mormon church which he blamed for the break-up. On May 2, 1998, he vandalized the Roswell LDS church for the first time by throwing paint on the exterior. Over the course of the next two months, as Grassie traveled around the state for various yodeling performances, he vandalized churches in the towns he visited. Over time, his vandalisms grew more involved and extensive, until they culminated in late June with the arson of the Roswell church to which Shirlene Jensen and her family belonged.

I wonder if the burning of the meetinghouse is indicative of a problem with society in general or only of a problem with professional yodeling adulterers?
