Duncan Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Can you think of a reason why a Temple would have a catwalk? and before anyone asks, no cats are allowed in or fashion shows? I have a friend who is working on our Temple and they constructed a catwalk but doesn't know why? I have nothing!!! Edited August 5, 2019 by Duncan
Popular Post smac97 Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 5, 2019 Um, do you mean a "catwalk" like this? Or like this? If the former, then I can't imagine the temples having one. However, I could envision the latter type. The Provo Temple, for example, has projectors above the entrance door of each Endowment Room. These days, the playing of the film is automated, but years ago perhaps it took someone to be up there to stop and start the film. And since there are six endowment rooms, perhaps there is a "catwalk"-type of arrangement that allowed for temple workers to go from one projector to another. Just thinking out loud. Thanks, -Smac 5
JAHS Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Is it a permanent catwalk or temporary? Those are put up temporarily when doing construction or renovation work. Is it in the attic above the ceiling for access to various spaces up there? 2

Which temple is it? I have a brother-in-law who is working on an extensive project at the Denver Temple. He is a journeyman electrician, and also endowed, so they sent him to upgrade some of the electrical stuff (IIRC, something to do with upgrading to LEDs). I could see a need for catwalks for such work to be done. Which temple is it that you are referencing? Thanks, -Smac 1

It's those framed scaffolds workers use to stand on while working on the outside of the building. I call them catwalks but most people probably just call them scaffolds. They are temporary. 3

Popular Post The Nehor Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 6, 2019 “And next we have 70 year old Brother Ackerman coming down the catwalk showcasing the church’s new extra stretchy white pants. He has been a worker here for the last 8 years. He has augmented those elastic pants with the daring and rebellious choice of ankle socks. Better not let the Temple President see this brother.” Yeah, I am going to Hell. 10

Thanks for the confidence. 🙄 I saw it on reddit, someone that has signed up for their emails for casting calls. http://ldsavdcasting.blogspot.com// When I posted it, I wasn't making out like the church is doing anything wrong, just thought of it when people showed the catwalk, since I'd seen it only minutes before. What is everyone worried about? Edited August 6, 2019 by Tacenda

What is everyone worried about? When you post links to articles that do not support your summary of it here several times I am going to be dubious of future claims. It is not a moral judgement. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it. It is just odd. I could see some kind of presentation of designs but why would you need a full “show”? Then again I am not a COB employee and do not understand what this is for. I found the Reddit post but the caption is gone from the post. Presumably this is for a live and also possibly a remote audience from overseas is figuring out what dresses they should stock for rental in the temple? Only thing that makes sense to me. Don’t most women in the US buy their own dress? I found the reddit post and it was posted the day the ad on the LDS website would be pulled off the site. Suspicious and the way the ad was worded was horrendous but that does not mean it is faked. If I were Snopes this would go under possibly true. 1

Some dresses are offered through the Church store, they change styles from time to time. I was thinking they were surveying for which styles would be most popular. A fashion show because how it looks on a page may look different in 3D maybe they had different models of different sizes to ensure the dress worked for wide range I wonder if anyone used the way back machine to save the alleged casting call.
