Because of his big mouth, Mittens is going to become the lightning rod that leads to the exposure his cult to the entire world. What has been allowed to go on in the dark corners of the desert for generations, will soon become main street conversations. Keep your ears open.
Thanks for asking. The term "magic underwear" is based on what people think we believe, not what we actually believe.
What the temples are for is to provide a place where we can make covenants with God, which basically boil down to "I will be a good person and serve God." The garment is a symbol of those covenants designed as a daily reminder. It's very similar in purpose to religious garb of many religions, except we choose to wear it under our clothing.
As for Salt Lake, what can I tell you? It's a big town. Every big town has bad parts. Next time you're around, take the time to tour some of the Church-owned sites around Temple Square. The Conference Center is quite impressive just from an architectural standpoint. Go inside, they offer free tours. As long as there isn't an event going on, everybody's welcome.
Huh....well, I can get behind your stated motivations, and I do respect the moon commitment to community. But its "different" to me. And you know how that goes.
Sure, things we're not used to always seem weird. All we're asking is that we're extended the same courtesies as everybody else doing "weird" things for the right reasons. Thanks for the question, Anon!

You can keep dreaming, won't happen. We've nothing to hide.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has survived far worse. It'll survive Mitt's stupidity.
Nothing like what you're talking about will come to light because there is nothing to come to light.
