I'm surprised by...

the Moses Lake Temple announcement. It's only 75 miles/90 min from the Kennewick temple. Are there that many members in the Moses Lake area? 

[Guest LiterateParakeet]

There is speculation that the Seattle temple will have a long shut down...like 3 years....to do some much needed repairs, so Moses Lake could take some of that spillover???

My husband was surprised by this too. He served his mission in this area and felt that Moses Lake was close to another temple. 

But, I thought temples (at least the ones here in the US) are based on general membership as well as priesthood membership. If that's true, then Moses Lake would have a need for a temple (general membership) and have the manpower (priesthood membership) to support the running of the temple.

I'm guessing that with this temple being in Seattle, at least one of those three years will probably be for cleansing and purifying.

Maybe it is in preparation for the inevitable tsunami that will make attending the Seattle temple problematic.

That would be one heck of a tsunami.

Lit, it looks like you need to find another nine people in order to stop the tsunami. Given the difficulty of that task, I suggest you start pretty soon.

Well, you got @Vort, so you just need 8 more.  Check out @prisonchaplain's congregation.  Bet you can find 8 converts there.

I actually have 7 congregations...but since we're on federal ground, I'm not sure if we can be counted in the Seattle census.

I'm sure Stake boundaries cover federal ground.  And we can probably get the feds to bus 8 prisoners to the temple once a month.   It'll be like the movie Conair!

I suppose you could tell the authorities they were going to an alternative court, and that the ultimate sentencing is for much longer terms. On the other hand, this tact would have worked better back when privatization and faith-based programming were all the rage. 👳‍♂️

This would make sense. We attended the Seattle temple last month when we were in town visiting a new grand baby. It was so hard to find our way around and very few temple workers to help direct us. Very odd experience. Yes, it needs to be re-done!

Perhaps Tsunami was the wrong word. It should probably be inevitable eruption of Mount Rainier.

Has there ever been a more appropriately named mountain?

Oh, not really. If sacrificial virgins can jump from the Salt Lake Temple to the safety of the Great Salt Lake, I'm sure a tsunami can reach the Seattle temple.
