Latter Day Saint movement[edit]
Main article: City of Zion (Mormonism)
A similar metaphoric transformation of the term "Zion" occurs in the modern Latter Day Saint movement, originating in the United States in the 1830s. In this interpretation, Zion refers to a specific location to which members of the millennial church are to be gathered together to live. During that time the ancient city of Enoch, also named Zion, that was taken to Heaven will return to the Earth. A Temple is to be built unto the Lord for a sacred work to be performed and for the Lord Jesus Christ to reign when he returns at the Second Coming. Until the gathering of Israel (Gentile and Jew who have accepted Jesus as their savior), when the second coming of Jesus Christ.[clarification needed]

Latter Day Saints also believe their location congregations to be the stakes of Zion, where they gather weekly to renew vows and covenants made to God the Father and to the Son of God.

Anyone feeling smitten?
To me fighting for your beliefs by repressing the truth and profiting from false beliefs makes an organization ripe for being smitten.

Naw. Ain't wicked. All I do is fight against Zion, and that is never addressed in a hymn.

Aw, nuts! I thought you had fallen in love.

Ohhh... I thought you were talking about Zion, IL. Which has one of the most unique histories of any city I've known.

It's founder John Alexander Dowie was equally as unique and worth taking a peak at.

I'm with Tiny...thought this was going to be a sweet love story. come to think of it, here, it might have been a horrible love story where someone fell in love with TBM and thought everything would be hunky-dory because after all, he was in "the church" and wore garments, but he turned out to be the world's most gigantic douche...oh, wait a minute, that happened to me...never mind.
