But instead of missionaries asking questions on the streets, there'll be reporters wondering what lies behind the church's many veils. It could be Mormonism's moment of truth.

Did Woodward buy his "religion reporter" credentials at a fire sale? If he thinks Mormons haven't been willing to share their faith, he's not paying attention.

I'm not Morman, so I speak from significant ignorance. But, from my understanding with friends and co-workers who are Mormom, those "many veils" involve practices of the church for members. Become a member, you'll find out what's there. Whether I agree with the LDS church or not, that makes sense to me.

Totally off-topic: One of my favorite movie lines,
Jim Kirk to Jillian in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, referring to Spock, Kirk says "He was at Berkeley in the 60s, he did a little too much LDS."

You may be interested in the expose' book of former Mormon Deborah Lake's Secret Ceremony(1992-3??). Then again you may not find it as the 'missionaries' have been given permission to steal the book from bookstores. From what I can discern from former Mormons...this author's experiences with the Mormon hierarchy, practices parallels their own.
