All good points but they won’t register.
You are talking to someone who said polygamy is beautiful.
He repeatedly argued the temple is a holy site protected by the First Amendment's religion clause, and that the state should have taken care to make a search of the building as limited as possible.
This brings up the possibility that one reason the mormons here are so vehemently defending the FLDS is because if this case is successful for the State of Texas and the federal government, the secrecy of the SLC LDS temples may be questioned.
THAT, in effect could end the practice of the mormon church of forbidding entrance to "unworthy" people so they could attend the weddings of their children, family members and friends.
An added problem for the LDS church would be that these "unworthies" who are members, (non-members are still not allowed entry) could no longer be coerced into bringing "up to date" their tithing donations, a requirement for a temple recommend to enter the temples. I think the practice is questionable for a tax-exempt organization, anyway.
A double slam to the LDS...loss of control and loss of money.
Explains a LOT!
