I noticed a photograph of an LDS temple (not sure which one, but I might assume Gilbert) on the wall of the family room. Only decoration in the whole home! It speaks to what I've learned about the fringe group(s)--one foot in the mainstream LDS church, one foot in their own beliefs.
The rest MOO: I have always wondered if Charles and Lori were sealed in an LDS temple (some years after their marriage in Vegas). Charles converted to Mormonism, and Lori has been described as devout--a temple marriage would have been something she would have been striving for. But perhaps she and JAR were already sealed--he converted also. From my observation, a temple sealing can make people less likely to break up a marriage, even a bad one (thinking about why Charles dropped the divorce and he and Lori tried to reconcile in the spring). If they were sealed, and they fully legally adopted JJ together (which as far as I know, they did), then they likely would have had him sealed to them, also. But if Lori hadn't ever been sealed, I can imagine she could be on the lookout for a "righteous guy" who would take her to the temple someday. She wouldn't be the first pretty Mormon lady I've seen trade in a good-looking, wealthy, but perhaps less "righteous" husband for a homely sack of potatoes who spouts all the right religious lines. MOO.
