Mike Norton to sneak into temple to film porn?
This looks like a genuine effort and I find it incredibly dissapointing.

I hope NNN listens to other exmormons who are imploring him to stop such a plan.

In before the apologists portray this as something ex-Mormons want / cheer for, even though almost every comment on that thread is ex-Mormons saying "That's wrong, don't do this."

It looks like someone is drinking too much coffee or on other stimulants.
This is clearly a bad idea and he needs to back away from it.

Mike Norton is going to keep escalating his abhorrent behaviour until he gets put in prison for breaking the law. I'm inclined to think that's his intention, and it may be the safest place for him. I wonder what Bill Reel thinks now of his decision to allow Mike to audiotape his Church court and therefore choosing to associate himself with such a character. I find Nortons behaviour appalling and spoilt bratish.

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

Fine by me!
Go Norton, go! The church has temples all over the world -- I foresee foreign copycats exposing the temple and putting it to shame. This is just the beginning. Norton is leading a charge to keep the church in check. The powers of the cult to maintain secrecy are over.
Until Mormonism apologizes for its war against gay marriage and stops worthiness interviews all bets are off as far as I'm concerned and I don't give a rat's ass what vicious antiMormon campaigns take place to discredit the church. Norton is taking it to a new level. War is hell. It is a war! The church fought to keep gay marriage illegal and to impose its personal club values on all others. The church sexually abuses children on a massive level. The church kicked the beehive and now it's getting stung.
Go Norton! Go!!
The rest of the antiMormons need to sit down, shut up, and watch a pro do the job. For God's sake!

I hope Mike Norton has enough people around him to stop him making a fool of the image of being exmormon.

About Joseph Smith.. How do you think his persona was influenced by being the storyteller since childhood? Mastering the art of going pale, changing his voice, and mesmerizing his audience.. How do you think he was influenced by keeping secrets and lying for his wife and the church members for decades?

Not gonna. I'll ask him to stop and I'll spread awareness.
I understand that you wanna see the church burn, but there are people inside that I care about.
I could appreciate Norton's undercover videos of temple rites because they served a whistle-blowing purpose, considering the manipulative and coercive nature of temple ceremonies. But this is an unforced error, even a catastrophically stupid thing to do. It likely represents a spiralling down of Norton's mental health and it will in my opinion hurt him the most.
Please, Mike, if you read this, please don't do this.
Furthermore, this is very likely to backfire on him and prove to push doubting LDS back in. It will not help. I wouldn't be surprised that if the First Presidency see this that they'll be grimly satisfied by the favor NNN is doing them.

Welp. That's degenerate and incredibly beyond anything that's conceivably ok. I 100% denounce this, even if it's some sort of odd practical joke. I don't think this is acceptable. At all.

Such is the beauty of doing what we want and having the freedom to do so.
I wonder if there have been porn flicks made in a Catholic setting wherein their sacred religious places and rituals have been shamed? Probably, I'm sure it's all been done and one could Google Catholic church porn shows.
Next, Mormon temple porn shows! Yee haw! I think it's totally funny.
Go Mike, Go!
Temple PORN!

Please consider changing your vote to 99% to give yourself a little wiggle room. You're being too concrete with zero flexibility.
PS. Porn is fun!
