Thanks for starting this thread! I've always been interested in learning about different faiths.

OK, dumb question... You have to be a member to get a temple recommend. If you're about to be baptized, by definition you're not a member yet. So how can you be baptized in a temple?
Another dumb question: What usually happens if there's a wedding held in a temple, and a significant portion of the people you'd want to invite aren't LDS? Do you have a reception somewhere else and invite the non-LDS people to the reception only?
Yet another dumb question: I'm seeing a parallel between the temple recommend and the Catholic practice that you should not receive communion if you are conscious of having committed a mortal sin and have not yet been to confession and performed your penance. Would that be an accurate comparison?
A better question
: Any good online resources you'd recommend? I'm certainly not looking to convert, just to learn more.
