pam Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Recommends should be issued only to those who are worthy and faithful. A sufficient time should elapse after baptism to prove worthiness." - James R. Clark[9] "One of my concerns is that not enough of our people are making the efforts to get a temple recommend, which becomes a symbol of their worthiness and the righteousness of their desires." "Temple worthiness affords a great spiritual protection even for sisters who do not have regular access to the blessings of the temple. In His infinite wisdom, the Lord requires worthy brethren to wear the mantle of the priesthood in order to enter the temple, but He permits the sisters to enter solely by virtue of their personal worthiness." -James E. Faust, "What It Means to Be a Daughter of God" "Blessed be the priesthood leader who conscientiously interviews each candidate for priesthood office and receives from that candidate a report of prior honorable service, an affirmation of personal purity and worthiness, and a confirmation of magnified effort and future intent to willingly bear and fulfill the great responsibility of priesthood office." -Ray H. Wood, "Made Like unto the Son of God" Being morally clean Sustaining the Prophet as the only one on earth authorized to exercise all priesthood keys Living according to the standards of the ChurchHaving no unresolved sinsBeing honestBeing an active member in good standingPaying a full titheHaving a righteous relationship within the familySustaining local and general Church leadersKeeping the Word of WisdomHaving no apostate affiliations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelPAGuy Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thank you very much Pam...Let me know if my idea becomes a reality. I know jus tthe thought of myself once again being able to enter the temple makes me very happy. One step at a time. It does give me something to look forward to.

I've been a member all my life and have never been inside a temple except during open houses. One my goals for the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethie Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 These are so beautiful!!! I've seen (from the outside) alot of the Utah Temples, and I toured the Idaho Falls Temple during the Open House. Amazing feeling inside and out! I'd love to visit the San Diego Temple and the Hawaii Temple. I wonder if anyone has ever visited every Temple in the world? Have you ever heard the song "The Power of Heaven"? It's about the feeling you get from the Temple. One of my most favorite songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenderFan Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Wow Pam, thanks for the link. I love to take photos of temples - for my own pleasure, I'm sure they're not good enough to share. I wonder if I could ever afford to travel and photograph all of them... I think I already NO the answer to that one...Thanks again...FF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeb Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think the Manti is my favorite even though I've never been there. However, no matter how many times I drive by the Jordan River it always takes my breath away. Whether its the freeway view or from the main street. I just love it!

Bethie Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I can't wait until the new Draper, Utah Temple has their Open House! I love to visit the Temple! I'm at the library today and just got the new book by Truman G. Madsen, "The Temple, Where Heaven Meets Earth" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Where was this slideshow when I was in Primary oh so many years ago? I can't even remember the year- it was at least 6 years ago and the theme was: I Love to See the Temple. (2002-I looked it up) For our year end presentation, I downloaded all of the pictures of the Temples from LDS.ORG- and printed them on transparencies in full color. At the beginning of the presentation, as the Children were singing I Love to See the Temple, I was showing the temple pictures from the overhead projector.

Truegrits Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks pam...what beautiful architecture, all of them. I have had the privilege of attending three of our Temples...the Orlando Temple (for my Endowment)...the Atlanta Temple...and the Salt Lake Temple, which was my first experience with a live Session. All are breath-taking AND awe inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven up there a few times as well. I for one will be going to the open house when it's ready. Also I can see the Daybreak temple being built from where I work as well.

susieSA Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Beautiful pictures.... I must admit though that I am rather dissapointed with the picture that was used for the Johannesburg South Africa Temple... I have seen much nicer pics...

Moksha Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I was just thinking how nice it would be if some technologically savvy team of LDS digitalizers would take pictures of the Temples from different angles, then put them together in an interactive 3D composite that could be viewed by rotating the Temples on the screen. Perhaps putting this idea out in cyberspace may one day make it come to fruition. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
