      My Father-in-Law was on the temple construction committee and his last assignment was the Redlands temple in CA. So on a trip out that direction we stopped by and visited the temple grounds. No sessions.

      25 years ago we went to NZ and stayed with friends in Temple View. My Mom was there with us and wanted to go on a session to see how much the temple had changed since we'd lived there. I was interested in seeing what it looked like inside - so we went.

      About 6-7 years ago my wife and I were in Hawaii and she really wanted to see the inside of the temple in Laie - so we did a session there. Had a nice visit with a member of the temple presidency, who took us on a tour and showed us some of the changes they'd made during the remodel prior to the rededication.

      So I guess I've been to the temple on 3 of my vacations. I haven't made it a point to do so, but I haven't necessarily avoided it. When we've been interested in seeing the inside of the temple, we've gone. When we haven't been, we haven't. If they had open houses and you could just go in and look around, I could see doing that a little more often maybe. But if you want to see the inside, it feels funny to pull on the white clothes and take a walk around without doing any temple work.

        I'm mostly with the stripper. Though we did visit the exterior of the Temple in Laie when we went to Hawaii.
        I always count this as going to the temple.

          How close do you have to drive by for it to count? My temple attendance just went way up.

            It all counts! I drive by the Oquirrh Mountain Temple every day to and from work. It makes me think of good things.

                Does it count as temple attendance if you go to the temple grounds with the express purpose of standing around with a bunch of weirdos to furiously tap the screen of a cellular telephone in an effort to defeat and catch a legendary Pokemon? Asking for a friend.

                  Funk, it is hilarious how you keep trying to use "orthodox" as some kind of slur.

                    Yes. It's more likely than not that good things will happen for your friend.

                        Our Bishop got some tickets to the dedication in the mail with the names of a couple of new members of the ward on them. I guess they are planning to go to the dedication? I didn't know you could request tickets like that to various dedications - pretty cool. They are super excited to be going.

                          If you have a temple recommend you can go to any church the dedication is being broadcast. My brother went on a business trip to Canada during the redidication of the Montreal Temple. Found a church and watched the dedication. Some recedications though are very low key.

                              I know what’s supposed to happen when 2 apostles go to Jerusalem, so I’m sure something momentous is in store when 15 go to Rome!
