Re: [ZION] hand shakes
Oh, I don't know, Paul. I'm pretty particular, I suppose, but I just don't worry about making hand contact with the temple workers. Especially when it pertains to performing ordinances, I just feel like the Lord will protect us. And actually, the Lord is in charge; He is the one who has said how the ordinances are to be performed. It is just my personal feeling that when we are in the temple, we are where we are supposed to be and everything will be alright. I just don't worry about it there. Naturally, I wash my hands as per my usual practice (like after using the restroom and before eating) but beyond that, I just don't worry about it in the temple. But that's me...

The prophet runs the show. Wait! Could we wear latex gloves in the temple?? I'm dead, serious! Can we? Who is going to stop me from doing so? It's our business and our health-- besides latex gloves are white. This just might be a glorious revelation on my part!

Re: [ZION] hand shakes
Boy o Boy - talking about whether or not to shake hands for fear of illness and death makes a lot more sense than talking about doctrinal or news topics. What a lot of nonsense - I keep waiting for the punch line - but it seems to be getting more serious all of the time.
