He gave me a temple admit

- - - - - -
Usually called a “temple recommend”. It is a card that shows you are ‘worthy’ and a faithful Mormon so you can go into their temples (the big buildings) to do baptisms, endowments (masonic rituals with secret names, handshakes and oaths) and sealings (marriages) for dead relatives.

The first time you go through the temple you take out your own endowments and you have to have been married (sealed) in the temple before you can do it for others.

What makes one worthy and faithful and who decides? Do they take attendance at church or rather a temple? So they say, we go to temple and not church?

sealings (marriages) for dead relatives.

What is that about? Like a funeral?

you take out your own endowments

What does that mean? They sure have their own lingo - so having secrets wouldn't be so far fetched. As you can see, I'm ignorant to the Mormon religion and just reading this, I consider my ignorance a blessing!

I see the thread has brought many out of the woodwork today. Time for my salvo....

Mark did work in the Reagan Administration under the expert training of the great Ed Meese. So that qualifies him to attack perceived anarchy and those who profess it. And I’ve heard Glenn mention it on several occasions.

And anyone that wants to tell me that Michael Savage is a conservative, I have 2 words for them, JERRY BROWN
