Like the discussions about City Creek Mall, I cannot imagine that the continuation of building temples, which must cost fortunes to build and maintain, are actually cost effective in the terms of people staying "true to the faith" by paying tithing and growing their righteous family numbers. Even if the leadership just want to keep the members living near temples actively engaged in busy work to keep them from thinking, is it working? Are there any numbers that can be accessed?
I've also heard that temples are being built to secure prime real estate for LDS, Inc. since churches do not have to pay taxes. Any thoughts?
