Lane of Immorality

No.
The legality of the target is checked during the Recruit action's resolution, which is after you have lost the honour.
From here viewtopic.php?f=59&t=113785 It says you wont be able to recruit a personality if you lose honor from lane of immorality if you go down the honor requirement
and here viewtopic.php?f=59&t=98050&p=1293871&hilit=temple+fortress#p1293871 It says you wont be able to recruit a personality even though you would gain from the temple fortress.
Is there a conflict in these rulings?

The older ruling is now incorrect, as the rules have changed since it was made.
Bowing the Temple Fortress (or Lane of Immorality) to produce gold, and gain (or lose) honour now happens before you choose the Personality to be Recruited.
