In 2000 the Adelaide temple opened (only one suburb away from my place, and our car had a crash with the truck delivering the marble) and there were tours for the public, but I didn’t go. The temple seems to draw strongly on the OT, and there was much criticism about the $9M price.
I’ve been in a regular LDS church building, which was nothing strange. I knew a few of their members, who were much like the typical mainstream church member. They didn’t work or play organised sport on Sundays.LikeLike

We have the Melbourne temple just down the road from us. It never ceases to amaze me how huge and imposing the building is.
Other than that, my only experience with Mormonism is Big Love 😀LikeLike

Thanks for your comments. There aren’t too many LDS temples near me, only Hindu and Buddhist ones, so I have never been in an LDS temple myself. Thus my interest in the video. I am aware of the strong OT focus, which I find odd, but I try to understand.LikeLike

I think they follow the model of synagogue & temple. There were lots of synagogues for regular worship, and one Temple in Jerusalem where people went for special occasions.
Likewise, there are dozens of LDS churches in Australia, but until 2000 Mormons would go to Sydney or NZ to get married.
I just found the world list of temples: http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/chronological/
Half of them have been built in the last ten years, including four in Australia.LikeLike

What is my experience with Mormons? 😀
They are my sisters and nephews and nieces. They are my grandpas and grandmas. They are my uncles and aunts and cousins. They are the fighter pilot that lives to the south of me and the car dealer that lives to the north of me. They are my bosses and workmates. They are the cops and the firemen and sanitation workers. They are my neighbors.
All that being said, it is sometimes hard not being a Mormon in a state full of them.LikeLike
