OK. So you are only going to find out whether the ceremonies performed were in fact valid and efficacious after you are dead.

Re: "Midnight Mormons" Profanes Temple
I find myself sympathetic with the very different views of both MG and Dr Exiled. I will respond to both in reverse order.
To Dr Exiled I would say that you have really put your finger on a problem that does filter down to the average members. People can become disillusioned by the apparently materialistic priorities of the leadership.
To MG I would say yes, in my view it is the faith and devotion of the average patron or temple worker that makes the temple a sacred experience. Many thousands of people are spiritually nourished by their temple activity.

If a true blue Mormon couple had worn their Temple clothes to the America-themed Met Gala, they would have received applause, even after labor day. Take that so-called "critics"!!!

Re: "Midnight Mormons" Profanes Temple
For the purposes of discussion...
I think that's a bold assertion with probably very little beyond anecdotal examples to support it. I'm equally sure many thousands of people are creeped out by their temple activity. Just because one person finds a thing sacred, is it then a requirement that other people must treat it as sacred?

Re: "Midnight Mormons" Profanes Temple
I am aware that some people are creeped out by their temple experience. Most of those elect not to go if they can help it. Those who go regularly probably get a lot out of it. Hugh Nibley was effusive about his experience, well, effusive for him. Being creeped out is, I think, largely the LDS Church’s fault because it fails to prepare members properly for the temple.IHAQ wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 10:32 amFor the purposes of discussion...

Indeed! Probably indirectly by the LDS Church itself.
