I've stayed out of this thread because I think it's so self evident that this is a bad idea that it was not worth discussing. That said I would like to point out that this comment by you is highly unlikely. The number one thing that the church has going for it is controlling access to and information about the temple. This is their primary means of controlling the masses and milking them for time and money. Why do you think they are increasing the rate they are building them in the spite of decreasing growth?
They are not going to make access and information about the temple more common. They will just use idiotic stunts like this as an example of why members should not look at the internet for information. Stuff like this makes it more difficult for those of us who are still looking for constructive dialogue with our TBM friends and family.
This remains to be seen. We don't know what the changing of the guard will do to modernize Mormonism and keep up with the world. The past is in the past, the present is now, and the future is on its way. Let's see what comes of it. I think Mormonism will continue to evolve and change just like everything does. You know me, though, I like to think outside the box. I like to explore the possibilities.
Point A as a bigot versus Point B post-bigot: what are they in between A and B?
Heads or tails?
People flip and shift throughout life. It's a process and also an event. If one is a bigot that means they are bigot. If they aren't a bigot that means they aren't a bigot. That makes sense to me.

FS says it well:

Yep. Some of us are seeking to coexist with Mormons.
I look forward to your commentary on the first release of Mormon Temple Porn.
But, you have to view it with 2 eyes open, not just 1.

Fap yourself silly. It's your right as an American.
Another asked what the backlash will be from the claim that "gays defiled the temple." These are examples of only some of the vulnerable people Jersey mentioned.
While there are multiple examples from the same thread, I'm choosing to share this series of exchanges copied right off the page because it also represents a vulnerable person (the public face of many) and by essentially posing the question,
What about Savannah?
“What would Savannah do?” That’s a question Mike should be asking himself. I feel like this stunt is a backwards step for people Mike claimed to be helping. He’s lost it completely. Even if the act itself was never intended to be done but rather this is a “stunt” by words only, his ego just took it way too far already. A monster apology needs come out ASAP. permalinkembedsavereportreply
[–]totomaya 33 points 17 hours ago As far as I'm concerned he needs to stay the “F” away from Savannah, forever. He's completely betrayed what she's bravely fighting for. He isn't worthy to be in the same room as her. permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
[–]freedomgivenandtaken 15 points 14 hours ago Which is exactly why I have asked him to remove her video from his channel. We do not want to be connected to this in ANY way. It's just not ok. permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
[–]trueorderofplayer 20 points 17 hours ago I’ve said elsewhere. It is inherently creepy that after connecting himself directly to a little girl coming out in the context of Mormonism his next big public move is to become a producer of lesbian porn in the context of Mormonism. It’s just so “on the nose”. permalinkembedsaveparentreportreply
[–]totomaya 14 points 16 hours ago Yeah it's gross. So gross. How can he look her in the eye after showing her that her attraction to her same gender is something salacious and "defiling"?
Savannah's mother is one of Mike's Facebook friends. I don't know that my expressive vocabulary is extensive enough to fully convey how I feel about this.
Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up.

It may be that several Mormon Girlz are friends with him too.
Those babes know how to sport temple robes with green aprons flopping all over the place.

What about her? I don't know. She can choose her own friends -- she's a big girl. She's an amazing girl, for sure. I know that Mike Norton idolizes her. She is courageous and fearless. So is Norton.
