Thanks for rudely posting a video of rituals which are one of the few things Mormons want respected. Really nice of you.

Also, while the stuff in the video may be true, the maker of the video has either done illegal things to get that footage, or he's engaging in vicious propaganda and bigotry.

You're welcome Cheesy

Seriously, why is showing the world what happens in secret (which I knew of before this video thanks to a former Mormon friend of mine) 'vicious'. How is it 'bigoted?' You may want it respected, I understand that. Scientologists want what goes on behind their closed doors 'protected', so do Masons. If you've got nothing to hide then what does it matter that the public get to see it? Surely if a church wanted to convert as many people as possible it would let it see it's inner workings.


First of all, I would note that some groups, perhaps primitive cults of a backward and morally degenerate society, do not like their ceremonies televised.  I've heard of one group of inferiors that, in a politico-religious ceremony, refused to televise part of the religious aspects, a smearing with some sort of oil.  I am, of course, referring to the anointing with holy oil during the coronation of Elizabeth II.

Some groups wish to keep their ceremonies private, and many, including my own religious group which I think we may share, have ceremonies and rituals that can seem strange to nonmembers. 

Second, Freemasons have the modes of recognition secret, but not anything else.
