Closely examined, the promised rewards of the temple ostensibly gained by patrons are akin to buying a share in the Brooklyn Bridge. It is all tin foil, mirrors and gross B.S. ....promises that can never be kept and will never be kept. So if the patrons feel they have actually gained anything from committing to temple requirements, let the church at least pay back to local governments a portion of its gain from the temple scheme.
I would advocate that very soon local governments wise up to the scam that has been dumped on them and claim their fair share of the enterprise by assessing real and personal property taxes on all Mormon temples not only in the United States but through out the world.
In a future article I will deal with AFTOR, Americans For Taxing Organized Religion, it's past and future efforts to remove Federal tax exemption from individual income donated to organized religion.
A test flight of AFTOR was launched 13 years ago and it is time to bring it on again.
