You might ask this question of Tzusuki at the MAD forum. He has a handle of that type of information.
I'm for a brand new season of The Blackadder. I've gone through my complete collector's set too many times now. I'm for some new episodes already.
God . . . "who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, . . . and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him ..."

Westboro has a long list of people they claim are going to hell, but I cannot imagine a hell worse than being a bigoted, angry, hate monger, like those supposed Christians.
Here is a link announcing their plans to picket Mr. Hinckley's funeral:
If you really want to be sick, take a look at their website. Apparently, God hates America, Catholics, the Marine Corps, Sweden, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Fags, Fag enablers...and that's as far as I got. I'm sure there are many more people supposedly hated by God, and I'm sure I'm one of them.

Equally disgusted. Where do they get off thinking that they and only they are justified in their view of the Christian faith? How can these people be happy? If anyone deserves the label of "cult", it is these people.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances. -Ghandi

More seriously, don't you think that sometimes being against something is sufficient? One can be anti-porn but call it pro-decency. Then all we have is a semantic argument about being pro instead of anti which ultimately boils down to nothing. Shades said he ws pro-truth, not anti-mormon. It's quite easy to play word games like that. From one perspective it is anti-. From another perspective it is pro- something positive.
I went to the Temple during my Goth phase so I'm guessing not. Also, the LDS faith is fairly liberal in regards to belief in vampires and have no official policy. The Church is like that on a lot of issues. I have a friend who sincerely believes that many pantheons of gods exist as actual spirit beings (Greek, Norse, Persian, etc) though he does not worship them. It has never stood in his way. His Bishop knows all about it.
So yes, vampires can attend the Temple though they better check the schedule and plan in advance and will probably find it easier to fit in an all-dark session in the winter.

Unfortunately later scripture recants that rule. I say unfortunately because I can't eat shrimp and if I can't enjoy the tasty little things I don't see why anyone else should be allowed to. ;)

You know, I didn't think they would appear. They were rumored to appear where I live and never showed. I suppose the "threat" of their appearing was the point.
