“now you do”
I don’t see having more than one account here as inherently dishonest. If resty used multiple account to mislead someone, that is another matter, but you should keep in mind that we believe in repentance and forgiveness too and you are in no position to judge someone’s temple worthiness. Even if you know of their flaws, you don’t know if they have sought and recieved forgiveness.
“you are now an “affiliate with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”, as there are individuals who would persecute you for your faith, malign the BOM, and / or Joseph Smith.”
No, because I am opposing them, not joining with them. If I was taking their side, THEN I would be affiliating myself with them and there would be an issue about temple worthiness. My kids attend a Catholic school, so do many others in my ward, including one of the Bishop’s counselors, and the kids of a previous Bishop. You do not understand the question, it isn’t about avoiding contact, it’s about where your allegiance lies.
“I was asking legitimate questions - perhaps youd like to address them ?”
Scanning the thread, it seems the gist of your questions is asking why access to temples is restricted. We consider them to be sacred places, literal houses of God, and God has set a standard for those who want to enter into his house to meet, just as God has a standard for those who wish to enter heaven to meet before they can enter there.
When Moses was called to come talk with God on top of Sinai, the children of Israel had to wait down below and were not permitted to go up. Same principle.
“When Moses was called to come talk with God on top of Sinai, the children of Israel had to wait down below and were not permitted to go up. Same principle.” Um, by your standard, how do you reconcile the veil in the Temple being ripped from the top down at the giving up the Ghost on the Cross? Once God ended the separation between man and God through the Atonement, how is it that Joseph Smith re-established it thus setting aside the Atonement?
