It appears two LDS members are suing the town of Fairview for preventing their right to worship. https://www.kltv.com/2024/08/08/rea ... t-denied/ . I wonder if the church urged a few members to do it. They did something similar with one of the Hofmann forgeries. They had a member buy them then donate it to the church.
Can the Church really have members do their work for them? Don't plaintiffs need to have some standing in the suit?
The plaintiffs claim their right to worship is being disrupted.

Can Temple goers claim that for any town without a Mormon Temple?

The Dallas temple height is a pretty easy rebuttal to that argument.

I guess only temples that get shot down by the zoning committees. When covid started shutting down public meetings Bednar seemed to be gearing up for mass legal strategies.

In a stunning show of magnanimity, the LDS church has decided to re-locate the Fairview Texas temple to a new location.

The Fairview temple will now be known as the "Interpreter Foundation Temple" as it is conveniently located right next door to the mailing address for the Interpreter Foundation.

This move will allow the temple to retain its residential charm, and also allow The Afore easy access to practice his religion freely.

Let’s say for arguments sake that the church wanted the spire to be 1000 ft tall.

Would it be just as bigoted to protest that height?

I seem to remember a similar conversation like this in the Bible. Will the temple be built at 500ft, oh Lord? How about 250ft?
