“Reid, Romney, and Beck, are all Temple Mormons, they all are allowed into the Temples and participate in the secrets within, secrets and access which is forbidden to outsiders and regular Mormons, who are not allowed inside the mysterious temples.”
Your statement is not factually accurate. First of all, there is no such thing as a “temple Mormon.” Any Mormon who is deemed “worthy” can get a Temple Recommend from his Bishop and participate in Temple rituals and ceremonies. And by worthy I mean simply that they can tell their Bishop that they pay their tithing on all their income and are morally clean (which I submit should keep Reid from having a Recommend).
Get real, my statement is absolutely factually correct, you say there is no such thing as a temple Mormon, and then describe how one becomes one, just like I said.
Typical Mormon lying, you say they don’t exist, and then say what I said, they are vetted by their Bishop and Stake president to see if they are devout enough, “worthy”, and if they are, then they are allowed to be Temple Mormons and they must then resubmit to that investigation every two years.
Harry Reid is a Temple Mormon.
...a Temple recommend" which in short hand is a "Temple Mormon", of course all it takes to be a Temple Mormon and be in the temple, is to be a Temple Mormon. That is what I said. (Ansel12)
Well, you're both right. (I'm not sure what's there to argue).
I suppose somebody could argue if the Mormon hierarchy deliberately went about to set up "classes" of Mormons, but that's kind of beyond the scope of the discussion.
Ansel12 is right in that a "temple Mormon" is merely "shorthand" for somebody who has a temple rec.
And, yes, Vette, you're right in citing the "worthiness" and tithing and other covenant-keeping hoops bishops ensure their members have in order to be "temple eligible":
Per Mormon.org:
"The primary purpose of the temple is to provide a dedicated place where sacred ordinances needed for eternal life can be performed. Because of its sacred nature, attendance in the temple is limited to Mormons who obey God's commandments and therefore are worthy to enter.
What is the difference between attending a church and attending a temple?
Of course, the Mormon church leadership is often very selective as to which commandments are being kept to provide temple entrance.
And what people don't know is the Mormon teaching that only Mormons with temple recs are eligible to live forever with Heavenly Father (if you're married, that is).
And given the common estimate I've seen that only about 15% of Mormons have current temple recommends, and that not all of them are married, that slices about 99.9xx% of the world's population out of living forever with the Mormon man-become-god figure.
