Wow!
HAve you ever heard the stories told by folks going through their endowment rituals in the temple?
And how creeped out and appalled THEY were?
Were them crazy PENTACOSTALS touched anywhere NAKED??
If there is naked touching involved in baptising for the dead, I can understand why the LDS church would not want this to be accomplished on the side of a river. However, it seems as if the privacy of the people involved could be served with a modest building, rather than an imposing, mega-million dollar ediface.
