Seriously, the house of the Lord is always closed on the Lord's day?

Has anyone ever wondered why?

Because Mormons don't go to the movies on 'the sabbath'...

1. The temple workers and attendees are needed to populate the Sunday sacrament meetings. Otherwise, the church buildings would be even emptier than they are now. It's the same few thousand adults that work in the temples, go on missions, populate all of the Sunday sacrament meetings, fill all the callings, clean the buildings, and take care of the church yards

2. 'cause Mormons can't ever miss church, not even to go to church.


I just got a good idea how to keep Mormons away from your funeral, a party, a family reunion, a book club, and from anything else. Plan it for a Sunday!

But for some reason, it's okay to keep the bishops, clerks and ward leadership in meetings all day. And missionaries work on Sunday, don't they?

I personally would have LIKED to be able to go to the temple on Sunday, because it would be an approved Sunday activity and I would have had time to do it. I would imagine temple workers wouldn't have thought of it as "work", since they don't get paid.

I think it's odd that it's closed. If I had been a temple worker, I would have preferred to have worked on Sunday, and gotten a better day off (a day without restrictions).

So an apostle can sneak in and give the elite their Second Anointing.

Because people hand over their tithing checks in church buildings on Sunday. Opening the temple on Sunday would distract from this most holy ordinance.

If they were open on Sundays, temple attendance would improve big time for the morg!!

In Christiandom, Sunday is God's day. The CULT is anything but interested in God since they are pure EVIL. It is a not so subtle statement that they are NOT into God but are into EVIL.

The CULT has many not so subtle things it does that TBMs fail to notice for some reason... like the handshakes are on the side of the temple for all to see (some secret); the Jesus in the visitor center on SLC's temple square is casting s shadow over the earth. THAT'S A BIG ONE THAT CULTers STAND ALL AMAZED WHILE LOOKING LIKE THE MORONS THEY ARE..
I could go on and on

Because the angels and heavenly visitors need a day they can play tag.

I think it is because they really aren't as serious about temple attendance as they claim to be. I used to wonder about them being closed on Sunday too. If they opened the temples on Sunday, they would definitely have more people show up.

Temples are for guilting the members and pressuring them to pay tithing. If they really believed that they were doing work for the dead and it was urgent, the temples would be open 24/7.

Well we know the Kirtland temple was definitely open for business on Sundays.

So those deceased people can play hide and seek in the temple on Sunday as they celebrate. Also it allows the deceased to take swim and frolic in the baptism font! In the temples that still serve food they get to have a heavenly meal. And for the deceased elite they get to sit in the Celestial Room and play cards.

Seriously, can SP or higher ups go to the temple on Sundays and just sit in the Celestial room and meditate. Is this the time the prophet goes to the "special room" in the Salt Lake Temple?

Well, gosh, because the members are supposed to go to Sacrament Meeting and others on Sunday. What kind of temple workers would they be if they didn't attend the Sunday meetings? ...
