Andrew: Hello, my name is Andrew.
Andrew: How may I help you?
Me: what is Kolob in relation to the mormon faith?
Andrew: It is an example to show that there is order in all things
Me: i see. so what, physically, is kolob?
Andrew: A star
Me: i see...speaking of space, imagine you were standing on the moon with a pen in your hand. You then let go of the pen. what happens to said pen?
Andrew: It would probably float since there is not much gravity on the moon
Me: but you acknowledge the moon does have a gravitational force, so why wouldnt it fall to the ground?
Andrew: Because it is not very great since the moon is smaller than the earth
Me: in order for it to float, that would mean there would have to be a force opposing the gravitational force of the moon. in your theory, what would this force be?
Andrew: I'm not sure
Me: that's because there isnt
Me: the pen would fall to the moon's surface

Braden: We do believe in a creator
Braden: That God created the Earth and all the things on it
Me: awesome. Then how do explain Stephen Hawking's hypothesis that if you allow for time to be represented as a complex number then the need for a beginning disappears, and thus the need for a creator. A beautiful symmetry exists in five dimensional space which allows us to travel through four dimensional manifold on the surface of a five dimensional sphere, and that these theoretical predictions so closely match the observations made by modern astrophysicist that it almost seems too beautiful for an intelligent designer.
Braden: What do you mean?
Me: There is no beginning to the universe, it has been and always been here. No creator. The Big Bang Theory allows for the possibility that time has no beginning, it approaches a place where we can't get through, but it takes on imaginary values and continues none the less.

Latter-day Saints have a long standing criticism of our ministry because when teaching on Mormonism, we often reveal portions of the secret Mormon Temple ceremony. While they don't like anything we say, this sometimes seems to upset them the most. At one seminar, about fifteen Mormon missionaries stood in unison and walked briskly out of the auditorium when the subject of the ritual was discussed.

The temple ceremony is one of the most important events in the life of a Mormon. To participate, the Mormon must go before his Bishop and Stake President for interviews to determine his personal "worthiness." To pass, he must be a full tithe payer; must not smoke, drink coffee or tea; must not possess any "anti-Mormon" literature (like the Watchman Expositor) and if he has already "received his endowments," must wear the authorized Mormon Temple undergarments constantly. Those who successfully comply with these and a host of other questions, receive the coveted "temple recommend," a card which certifies their worthiness and allows them entrance into a Mormon Temple.

The vast majority of Mormons never reach this level of commitment and can never receive their endowments and be married and sealed to their spouse for "time and all eternity," in this life -- an important part of the ritual.

The Temple Ceremony
Those that do reach that goal are exposed to a ceremony similar in many aspects to Free Masonry. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were Masons and "borrowed" a number of blood oaths, and secret handshakes from the Masonic Lodge (see Mormonism, Magic & Masonry, Jerald and Sandra Tanner; Mormonism & Freemasonry: The Illinois Episode, Mervin B. Hogan).

First, the men and women are separated and go to their respective dressing areas where they remove their clothing and place over their heads a white sheet open on both sides with a hole for the head in the center. They then are lead to the "washing and anointing room" where various parts of the body are ceremoniously clean¬sed and anointed by a temple worker while a corresponding "blessing" is said over each area of the body that it may function as God intended.

Also, once inside the temple, the participants or "patrons" are lead through a series of blood oaths of secrecy. In these oaths they promise that the ritual will never be divulged even under penalty of death. The sign or corresponding penalty of the First Token of the Aaronic Priesthood involves the Mormon cupping his left hand while placing his right thumb under his left ear then drawing it quickly across his throat to his right ear and then dropping both hands to his side. This represents having one's throat cut from ear to ear.

They make covenants with God and the church, basically agree to live the commandments they already do. In return they receive signs and tokens (hand gestures and shakes) that must be given to the keepers of heaven to pass into God's presence. Most important is that they must do this to have an eternal marriage. And have their families be forever.

>> No.1419467

Another portion of the ceremony presents Satan trying to deceive Adam and Eve by hiring a Christian pastor who preaches "the orthodox religion." This is a not too subtle attempt to link orthodox Christian doctrine and ministers directly to Satan. The Christian doctrines of God being Spirit (John 4:24) and of a literal Hell (Luke 16:22-26) are particularly singled out at this point for ridicule. (see What's Going On In There by Chuck and Dolly Sackett)

With just this very brief description of a small portion of the Temple ritual, it is little wonder why Mormons prefer to keep the ceremony "in house" and why it is not a featured part of their vast public relations campaign. If I was participating in a ritual like this, I would want to keep it a secret too.

Me: Hmm I see. But what if all modern religions are actually the work of Satan to distract us from discovering the one "true" religion?
Elliott: There are some religions that do that
Me: What if Mormonism is one? Have you pondered this at all?
Elliott: No
Elliott: Mormonism is not one
Me: How can you be so sure though?
Elliott: Because there is no other religion that has a true belief in the Bible

Elliott: Satan will never tell us to worship God and to do good
Me: But aren't right and wrong completely subjective? Like say something that seems right to us mortals might be completely immoral to someone of a higher thinking i.e. Satan.

Elliott: Because that is why the Bible and the Book of Mormon were written to show us what is right and what is wrong

As incredible as it may sound to non-Mormon ears, Latter-day Saints believe their temple ceremony is a restoration of those practiced in the Old and New Testaments. They think that Moses, David, Isaiah, and even Jesus, performed these same LDS ordinances during Biblical times in the Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, Herod's Temple, etc.

However, near the end of his earthly ministry when brought before the High Priest, Jesus said, "I spake openly to the world, I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort, and in secret have I said nothing," (John 18:20). Jesus never participated in secret rituals. His teachings, including those "in the temple" were spoken "openly."

>> No.1419486

>>1419467

Also bullshit

>> No.1419498

True, portions of the Jewish temple were closed to the Gentiles, women, and even most Jews. The Holy of Holies was reserved for one man only, the high priest, and then only once a year. But the difference is that everyone knew exactly what took place in the Jewish Temples. It was no secret. A detailed step-by-step description of each temple activity is recorded in the Bible for everyone -- Christian, Mormon, or Atheist to see. And it bears no resemblance to the Mormon Temple Ritual!

Mormons often answer that the reason the Temple ceremony should not be discussed in public is not because it is secret but because it is sacred. They maintain that theirs is not a secret ritual at all but simply a "sacred ceremony."

And the internt has a real strong filter so you cannot get anything the chruch doenst wnat you to see. You can't watch MTV, or go online to cnn.com! It is like they are fucking living in CHINA! You cant get information about the world!

3) You cannot go to get a drink if you are mormon. This is expected, the real starnge part is how they inforce that shit. At every "bar" you find in Salt Lake City you have to register. EVERYONE HAS TO REGISTER. Even if you are not mormon! This is to make sure the morons dont go. The Bars give the list of names to the Mormon Chruch and check for mormon on there.

Blood Atonement Doctrine: The belief, taught by the second Mormon Prophet, Brigham Young, that for certain sins the blood of Christ will not atone and for which the sinner’s own blood must be shed to receive forgiveness (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, p. 53). No longer taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the belief is often preached and sometimes practiced by members of Mormon Fundamentalist splinter groups. To this day, Utah allows condemned murders to face execution by firing squad rather than methods that do not shed the criminal’s blood, such as lethal injection or the electric chair.

1)
Everyday for about 2 hours, the mormon prophet speaks. This talk is broadcast thougout all of BYU. Like through the fucking intercoms! Everyone slows down what they are doing, and they listen to it like sheep. It is some scary shit.
They do this around most of the area as well.

2) You are not allowed to have beards or facial hair. This is unmormon.

3) The apartment situation is fucking crazy. Apartment buildings/complexes in the area are organized by gender. Hence an apartment complex that is all Male, is only rents to Males. There are certain rules if you want to bring guest of the opposite sex over. They cant go into your bedroom, can only be there for a couple of hour, it has to be during the daytime. THIS IS JUST FOR REGULAR FUCKING APARTMENTS! THE MORMON CHURCH CONTROLS EVERYTHING!
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT MORMON!

MORMONS SHOULD BE EXTERMINTED!

Yeah, it is highly censored, and everything is controlled by the church. It is Chruch run government.

Yeah, they made me shave my mustache and gotee when I went, EVEN THOUGH IM NOT FUCKING MORMON! I raged! I hated the whole fucking summer, I didnt learn a thing (it was an REU)! I just took there money, and stayed in my room waiting to get back to the "USA".

That means they can tell you to cut off any facial hair they want. They often say mustaches are allowed, but will tell you to cut em off anyway.

if you go to provo you should expect somethings, especially byu. Since there is no reason to go to provo other than byu. I don't know why any sane person would go there. I only argue because you are over exaggerating their problems. They are bad enough without the exaggeration.

The point is still the same, they all sit around "interrupting" there work to listen to the fucking prophet. Seriouly, that is bat-shit fucking insane. It makes perfect sense why Mormonism used to be outlawed, its too fucking stupid. Are you a Mormon by an chance?

Agreed, I just wish I knew how fucking terrible it was before I went (but no one tells you that shit). I would have never gone, no matter how much they paid me, if I knew how backwards it was.

It's sort of a hypothesis he posed in A Brief History of Time, noting prefacing this with a "I have zero evidence but wouldn't it be cool if..." then noted how several observed properties aligned nicely with the theory and could be explained well. The idea gets started on page 117.
