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.

My Mormon Patriarchal Blessing

Ok so let me see if I can give a quick run down on patriarchal blessings. I don't really feel like finding and quoting references so I'm going to go from the best of my knowledge and memory. Patriarchal blessings are usually given to "worthy" teenagers or young adults. The main purpose of a patriarchal blessing is to give you your ancient lineage, or in other words, tell you which tribe (of the 12 tribes of Israel) that you belong to. They usually include promises of blessings if you live your life in accordance to church teachings. They are given by a Patriarch, a man ordained just to give these blessings or revelations as they seem to be. Much of what is included is very general, some specific, all of which is FAKE. To receive the blessing you must meet with your church leader to make sure you are "worthy" and "ready" to receive this blessing. It's very hard to explain to a non mormon but it's almost as if its looked at a fortune telling blessing you are entitled to. You are not supposed to share your patriarchal blessing, it is supposed to be very personal and private. I however, obviously think it is complete bullshit. That is why I have posted my original blessing below, just to give people an Idea of how assinine they actually are.

Mormons, Polygamists and lots of stupid LDS shit!

Have no fear I have not lost my disgust for Mormonism!! I have simply been too busy with work and school to sit down and write a few things. The ideas have been cooking. I realized I haven’t posted any drafts of the letter template I used to remove my name from the church records. Below is a copy of the letter I used. Keep in mind that it takes months for them to actually get off their asses and remove your membership information. In my specific case it took about 6 months, and I sent 2 reminder letters and one letter threatening legal action. I will also be working at scanning in a copy of my patriarchal blessing. This is a blessing given to either teenagers or adults which is supposed to act as sort of a guide for your life…..not necessarily like fortune telling but kind of. At the moment I don’t have the information but when I have it ready I will post a copy of my blessing along with the official church definition of what a patriarchal blessing is for.

As for those polygamists in TX. Well they are obviously fundamentalist whack jobs, no question about it. My favorite part of the whole saga is that every time I look in the newspaper or TV or anything I always see discussions with Mormons wanting to clarify that they are in fact not associated with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ. On a technical note sure they might be right, one says “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” and one decided to add the word “Fundamentalist”, same difference in my opinion. They both stem from the same seed. That fact is irrefutable. We all know what bigoted pigs founded the church. Joseph Smith being the key player of course. It is a fact that Mormons still do believe in polygamy in the afterlife. The only reason they ever decided to “stop” practicing it was to expedite statehood, that was the ONLY reason. Well and of course we know that back in those times Viagra wasn’t invented so how was a dirty old bastard like Brigham Young supposed to make love to 40 wives when he couldn’t even get it up??

Hmmmm what else do I have to write about. Oh yes, I remember, at a family BBQ a few weeks ago my all mormon brainwashed uncles and aunts were sitting around discussing church as usual. Somehow I heard someone get on the topic of how we were in the “last days” a term I had heard my entire life, how the millennium would come soon and the world would end or be cleaned with fire and Christ would once again reign on his earthly throne. LOL. Ok so anyways I heard some family members talking about how there were sooo many wars, and natural disasters, and people starving and all these types of calamities happening which certainly signified that “the end was near” I started to chime in and share my 2 cents but stopped myself because I couldn’t remember the exact reference to back up my argument. After a little research I found it. I remembered that somewhere in the mormon scripture of Doctrine and Covenants that Joseph Smith had prophesied the end of the world. In section 130 of the doctrine and covenants Joseph talks about what will happen in the second coming of Christ in verses 14-17 Joseph says he was praying very earnestly when a voice came and told him that if he lived until the age of 85 he would see the face of the son of man. Joseph said he didn’t know whether this mean the end of the second coming/destruction or the beginning or whether that would be when he would die and then he would see christs face. Either way he was dead wrong…lol…no pun intended. Obviously the second coming did not happen when prophesied. Joseph did not live to be anywhere near 85 years old (thank goodness, he did plenty of damage in his short life). So what explanation have we for this mystery?? One mormon told me that since joseph didn’t live till the age of 85 the prophecy is not valid. What do you mean??? A prophecy is a prophecy, fate is fate, in their minds these are things that are not variable, they do not change. Hmmmm, guess that means that he was not a prophet. DUH.

Mormon Missionaries - Fucking idiots

Well I just happened to run across this video on mormon missionaries. Let me tell you from personal experiences that my mission experience was by far the worst experience of my life. I have never ever before in my life seen such manipulation at work than when I was preparing for my mission and even worse in the MTC or missionary training center. It is pretty hard to explain this unless you actually experience it, and most of the people that have experienced it are still under the influence of mormon indoctrination and will tell you it was the best 2 years of their lives filled with such faith building and wonderful experiences. Believe me, going out day after day and being forced to harass people isn't as glamorous as these ex missionaries portray it. And whats worse is that every single missionary is paying $450 a month to be out there converting more members just to have the church make a little profit off of the new member tithing money. No wonder Provo Utah is the multilevel marketing capitol of the world. They get good tips from the biggest multilevel marketing scam in the world...The Mormon Church. Well I'm sure you believe me when I say I have much much more to write on this subject...all in good time. For now enjoy this clip I found.

My affair with Brigham Young

Well who knew that Brigham Young was such a good kisser....or that he liked guys. Maybe he had all those wives to cover up his secret sexual identity...who knows! LOL

Mormon Church fundamental flaws

Well here I am not in the mood to write much tonight. Seeing as it's 1:30am and I have to work tomorrow, but there has been something on my mind for the past few days. First off, I just don't comprehend how anybody that claims to have "morals" and brains can rationalize the obvious flaws with the Mormon church. First off speaking of prophets, since there has been soooo much talk about the recent death of the prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. Somehow Mormons missed the memo about their all great leader and founder Joseph Smith. I mean first he makes up some bogus story about angelic figures and plates of gold and blah blah blah. Tonight I would like to focus on the latter part of his life. I have written about this before but feel it necessary to expound. Somehow people miss the fact the he was a criminal. He was wanted by the president of the united states for charges of treason. Somehow people also forget how he landed his prophetic ass in carthage jail. Well lets talk about that. There was a publication at the time called the Nauvoo Expositor. They just happened to run a story on polygamy and ties with Joseph Smith Jr. He became so outraged at the article that he ordered the printing press and facilities where the Nauvoo Expositor was created, destroyed. That is how he landed his lousy ass in jail. Now if he had nothing to hide and polygamy was "ordained" from god to him, why would he be so mad? Was he afraid that the people would start to catch on and expose his personal harem? Was he afraid that fact that he was a no good womanizing bigot who used his so called "priesthood authority" and "revelations from god" to coerce young women into marriage? Those few tidbits and FACTS about his life are more than enough reasons why any sane person would realize that he was no more than a complete fraud and common criminal. Sounds like a paralell with modern day Warren Jeffs. Lets reflect on Smith's personal bodyguard Porter Rockwell. A man who killed many, many enemies of Smith.(sounds real christlike to me, since jesus killed so many of his enemies right) And lets not forget Smith's personal army. The Danites. His very own personal battalion of brainwashed souls prepared to lay down their lives for a lier and fraud. Well I think writing all this tonight has just disgusted me, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MORMON PEOPLE THAT THEY SEEM TO PURPOSELY TURN A BLIND EYE TO SUCH DAMNING EVIDENCE. You fuckin got me... Well until then I suppose I can only offer support and insight to those poor poor souls who are trapped in this lie. Until next time.. Cheers. and God Bless Atheism!!
