If any of you have people you work with, or friends, or family, or whoever that may have seen or heard about HBO's episode of "Big Love" on Sunday, the video below is a great explanation of what it is that happens in the temple and why we as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hold them so sacred.
For those of you who were not aware, Sunday night's episode features a very detailed portrayal of an endowment session. Featuring the clothing, words, and other sacred themes and actions.
What HBO and Hollywood did was highly upsetting and offensive. It is further proof of the tempest that rages against the Kingdom of Heaven. If you know someone that has questions about the temple because of "Big Love" or some other reason, talk to that person. Do not be embarrassed about our beliefs, our beliefs are God's truth. It is not necessary for them to know all the details after all it is not secret, it is sacred. Take the opportunity to explain to people that it was upsetting to you, that there are things about the temple which are sacred and cannot be explained, but the work performed there is beautiful and commanded. Turn this into an opportunity to help those outside the church to understand and hear your testimony. Open you mouth and share.
