Faces of hate aka LDS church security

Just some pics showing the disgusted hateful looks these mormon security guards wear as they patrol their fortress. Taken during "kiss in" protest. I'm not sure if they are all constipated or what but boy do they look miserable. On a side note they seem to be pretty camera shy..which is odd because when you step foot on temple square and they sense something fishy they have cameras all up in your face. Most would try to turn around when you take their picture. I'd be ashamed if I were them too!

Say cheese!



cryptkeeper and pal (look I'm cool I'm adjusting my earbud...wanna be FBI but all I could get was a lousy security job position)


This one in the suit is definitely a ringleader..I call him the cryptkeeper

Mormon Temple Square Kiss Surveillance Video

The following is surveillance video from the harassment which occurred when a gay couple sitting peacefully on a bench kissed and were swarmed by a group of Mormon security guard monkeys. The charges for trespassing against the couple have been dropped. Read the full story here.

This is a perfect example of the Christlike love mormons pretend to preach.

Back up and running.

Hey everybody, sorry my blog was down for a few weeks. Some technical difficulties took me offline but they have been addressed and now I will be able to continue my quest to bring light to the reality of what is the LDS church. Stay tuned for more posts! ;) There is plenty in store. More temple ceremony info, book of mormon facts/contradictions, as well as updates on current events involving mormonism.

Thank you all for your comments and support.

Sincerely,

HBO's "Big Love" Takes a step inside Mormon temple ceremonies

Mormons are making a stink in the media once again...are any of us surprised?? The hit HBO series "Big Love" announced plans to show a sacred temple endowment ceremony. The basis of the series focuses on a polygamist family living in Sandy UT. Although mormons claim they have nothing at all to do with polygamists...the fact of the matter is Mormonism grew from polygamists. Sure its a dark chapter in the history of mormonism, just like when they denied blacks from holding the priesthood until the civil rights movement prompted leaders to magically "receive" revelation changing this policy.....um more like pulled revelation out of their ass. Yes these topics among many others are some of those things that just never seem to be explained when growing up mormon. People just magically seemed to get "revelations" when convenient.

While I find it amusing mormons contiuously make efforts to explain they are in no way connected to polygamist teaching or lifestyle I can only laugh out loud. Joseph Smith creator of mormonism, was the one who once again "received relevation" instating polygamy. This continued with Brigham Young while the mormons made their exodus to Utah. In fact, the only reason mormons ever gave up polygamy was to expedite statehood....this is backed up by the fact that Mormons still believe in Polygamy in the afterlife. See Mormon Doctrine Bruce R. Mcconkie).

I am excited to see just what will be shown on the upcoming episode. Apparently an Endowment Ceremony (for entire temple ceremony script click here) will be shown. HBO reports that an expert familiar with mormon temple ceremonies was available and advising during the entire episode to validate and make certain the ceremonies were portrayed as accurately as possible.

Mormon owned KSL newstation had as their top stories on March 9 and 10 articles about the airing of the upcoming contreversial episode. Not only was I amused but I was actually extremely excited. By making such a big deal and featuring so much on the story it will only cause more and more people to tune in and watch the series. And I am pretty sure that once they see what happens in the temple they will definitely realize how fucked up mormons really are.

I myself have personally witnessed and taken part in these ceremonies. Having grown up mormon and surrounded by it living in Utah, it wasnt until I actually stepped foot in the temple that I ever had any clue what went on inside. Mormons are extremely extremely superstitious when it comes to talking about their temple ceremonies. Part of that comes from fear, part of the temple ceremony discusses the consequences possible if the secrets of the temple are revealed. Up until the 1980's part of the ceremony actually consisted of symbolic movements of drawing the hand across the throat and then up the abdomen...symbolizing having your neck slit and your bowels withdrawn should you reveal or talk about the secret ceremonies. The other factor that stops people from discussing temple ceremonies is the same power the LDS church uses in every aspect to control its members...that factor is GUILT.

Mormons try to gain sympathy for their participation in prop 8


Well the mormons are at it again. Using their media analysts and creative team to try to turn their image from participation in the proposition 8 passage from bigoted tyrant to picked on victim. This couldn't be farther from the truth. The LDS church has issued many statements, each cleverly worded describing their participation in the passage of prop 8 as "part of the democratic process" and they continue to make references to democracy, freedom of speech, and that it was the church members who made this happen not the "church" itself. All of this clever language attempting to draw sympathy to the LDS church does not surprise me. They have the money and the manpower to influence media and many many people, LDS members and nonmembers alike. With so much emphasis on democracy and tradition and rights I am reminded of one of the most famous articles which formed this nation. The Gettysburg Address in which the first line
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Now I may be mistaken but I believe that says all men are created equal, leading me to believe that regardless of color, nationality, religious belief or so many other ways that men have devised to seperate themselves from one another, at the core we are all equal. Equal meaning deserving of the same rights. Oh thats right, it must mean all men except the gays right? Just like the mormons declining blacks the right to hold the priesthood in the 60's, only this is different. They needed to change their "doctrine" in order to appease their growing multicultural congregation which came in the form of "revelation". I guess unchanging god, the same god the is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, who is the same today and yesterday and will be the same tomorrow, must have changed his mind. Did god make a mistake? The difference between the issues of the past and the issues of the present is this....homosexuals DO NOT want or expect to have mormons accomodate them and marry in their holy temples. They probably do not have any interest in anything that remotely deals with mormons. So why does the LDS church feel so threatened by proposition 8. What special interest do they have in banning gay marriage besides carrying on their tradition of being a bigotous hate monger of a church, intollerant of all people and all beliefs but still spouting out teachings that they claim are "christian" in nature. Sure they are christian in nature in the same way that the crusades spread christian love. So really Thomas S. Monson my question to you is..What does it matter to you? What is your personal investment to this? How does this affect you at all? and How does this undermine the "traditional" family? It doesn't! Not anymore than your secret temple ceremonies with practically naked people wearing shields get washed and annointed and felt up by your temple workers (for more on temple ceremonies see my post on secret temple ceremonies) I say we take a vote on temple marriage, mormons shouldn't have a problem with that. Why don't we just open that can of cultish worms to the media and have a hayday with it. Im sure you won't mind if we destroy your families, expose all your secret signs, tokens and handshakes. So how about it?

The LDS church is not a victim. Neither are the supporters of prop 8. They knew what they were contributing to and supporting and now search for sympathy following the backlash. Well I have something for you. The LDS church can fuck right off! Stop your pouting and take responsibility for your acts of hate, power and downright disgusting behavior!

As for me, I will continue to convince as many members as I can to remove their names from the LDS church records and continue spreading my gospel of truth which is you can't trust mormons, or any other organized religion for that matter.

Peace!

Prop 8 Protest. Salt Lake City Utah

Yours Truly with my funny sign




I was lucky enough to be able to attend the prop 8 protest at the mormon church headquarters on Nov 7. The turnout was amazing. There were hopes of maybe attracting 1000 protesters...however the spokesperson for the Salt Lake City police said they estimated a whopping 2,000 to 5,000 showed up! It was an absolutely amazing experience! Hopefully those dumb motherfuckers got the message, we are many, we are proud, and we will not settle for 2nd class citizenship. I have a few photos of me and my friends, and as soon as I get more I will upload them! Enjoy!


Me doing what I do best.....mocking dumb mormons

My friends and their signs!



The March took over the streets...forcing traffic to turn around, police had no choice but to watch.



The Mob chanting in Unison "Seperate Church and State" Shadows of figures came to the windows from the massive church office building to peer at the angry mob outside!!
