(all LDS temples ever since have been open to the public in the weeks leading up to their dedication).

but AFTER the dedication you are outta luck.

I'm not 'outta' luck and neither would you be if you had a sincere desire to go to the House of The Lord. The temple is a remarkable place. It's as close to heaven on earth that I've ever found. It's difficult to adequately describe the sweet spirit that I find there so I wont make an attempt. I do wish everyone could have that experience. I think the world would be a much better place.

If you’re not a worthy member of the LDS Church, Elsie, you’d better believe it. You see, we’re trying to keep the Lord’s house -clean.- I’m not speaking in terms of dust and grime.

You should see how efficient the crew are that come in and install the sacrifice and sacred rite chambers after the dedication.

So is any Mormon who does not meet all the requirements to attend temple. Like me, currently. I’ve missed a lot of meetings, fallen behind in my tithing, and just generally not had a good last few years religiously.

If you want to go into a Mormon temple, do what I have to do. Tithe regularly, attend meetings, develop your testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon (and the Bible), confess your sins, and demonstrate your worthiness to go to a holy place. That is what a temple is.

It’s not a matter of luck, its a matter of meeting the tenets of our faith.
