I'm going to resurrect this old thread for the sake of our newer board members. SLDrone is a longtime board member who was a former LDS bishop and mission president. This thread represents his informed analysis that temple construction is all about the money --
"LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD,
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE TEMPLE IS AS A REVENUE GENERATOR.
I have personally seen the computer matrix analyzing increased revenues from temple districts where new temples are constructed. Even the grandeur of these temples is determined by a cost benefit analysis. It is evil genius. In areas where temples don't exist, tithing participation is very low. In areas were temple attendance and temple events such as weddings are common, tithing adherence is much higher. Tithing is the NUMBER ONE issue that keeps individuals from being able to get a temple recommend. IT'S ENTIRELY ABOUT THE MONEY."
