Verse 18, and 20, the Lord states it two ways in fact, he recommends walking and running: 18: "walking in obedience to the commandments" and later 20: "And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint." Now, isn't that interesting how he puts it considering the topic he's discussing?

I'm serious. IF this is really their standard, then fat overweight people (and I've seen them in the temple), should not be allowed in. If they are really honest about it, can they really say they are keeping the WoW and treating their bodies like that?

I completely agree with you. A measure of temple worthiness should indeed be a persons BMI. But such a measure would devastate temple attendance and tithing income.

Would you deny these ladies a TR?
The funny part is this, yes, they would get one today in the church if they said yes to the TR interview questions.

Well, the TR interview doesn't specify the time scale required for each of the questions. For example "Do you live the Word of Wisdom?". These ladies could, in theory answer in the affirmative " yes" without adding the qualification that they had only been resistant to non moderate intake for the ten minutes it took to winch them into the Bishops office for the interview.

And when these verses were given were "walking in obedience" and the promise to be able to run and not be weary looked upon as advice to engage in daily exercise programs?
I think not. You are reaching.

Too bad the WoW hasn't prevented LDS from losing the use of their legs.
