kBoy: I extremely appreciate your reference to the “Kingdom of God Within.” The older some of us get, the less motivation there is to go to three or four church services a week. But even more important is the fact that there is no reason under the sun to get jacked around by anything external when one of the greatest concepts ever presented to each individual was for God to live in their own spirit (Gospel of John).
There are four Mormon temples within ten miles of my house. Fine, I am not losing any sleep over what may be occurring in those grandiose buildings. The center of the universe is with each individual, making them immune to the feeling of exclusion and the need to be perfect in order to obtain a Temple Recommend.
The true freedom of the gospel does not lend itself well to the enrichment of a few at the expense of the many.
