Mormons would never let her into their temples.

Seriously?

If I'm not Mormon I can not enter their temples?

40% of the Mormons aren’t allowed in their temples!

Only the special ones wearing white robes or some such thing. Strange.

I believe this is largely correct. My sister converted to Mormonism and decided to marry another Mormon at the big temple in Salt Lake City. Nobody on our side of the family was allowed to enter the temple and my sister had to have church-appointed surrogates stand in as parents of the bride while ger real mother stood outside, unable to witness the event.

FWIW, I don't condemn the Church for this. Every religion has their rules. But I do know my mother and I know wild horses wouldn't have kept her from attending the wedding of her first-born but for the locked door of the temple that kept her out.

You can enter their churches — anytime, anywhere, just not their temples.

It’s no big deal — and no, I am not Mormon, but sick of people being so prejudice about a group of really nice people who have the same values as evangelical Christians.

Except on "Grand Opening" day...the new one in Fresno allowed the public in for guided tours "one night only".  The "stakes" (regular churches) no problemo.  Not even all Mormons can get into the Temple.
