To: DelphiUser; Colofornian

Why can't I leave the Church alone? I'm not so good as Colofornian. There's a part of me that rebels and keeps on rebelling.

Moses Chapter 5...
29 And Satan said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou
tell it thou shalt die; and swear thy brethren by their heads, and by
the living God, that they tell it not; for if they tell it, they shall
surely die; and this that thy father may not know it; and this day I
will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands.
30 And Satan sware unto Cain that he would do according to his
acommands•. And all these things were done in secret."

I took a blood oath in the Temple. I'm just daring you all to come and slash my throat. I told all your dirty little secrets and I'm still alive.

I consider the Temple to be holy. There weren't any "Dirty little Secrets" in there that I experienced. Obviously your personal experience was very different than mine.

There are Ordinances, Oaths and Covenants that happen in the temple. My brother explained it best to me before I went in. He said in some other religions like Judaism you see more symbolism and ritual. In the public meetings of the church there is some ritual like Sacrament and Baptism. So in the temple there is a lot more ritual and symbolism.

If anything the Temple in the modern Church of Jesus Christ is similar to the Tabernacle of the OT and Temple of Christ's time. The Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle was only entered into once a year by the prophet after he had gone through some cleansing and purification.

I wish your personal experience in the Temple was better for you. Even though you are not "Mormon" now though I am impressed with your Zeal for Christianity.

I’m a fairly stable person, but daring people to come and kill you on an open internet forum, it’s just not smart. (Please be safe)

So you are an oath breaker, OK.
So you are daring me to do something you know I will not do, Dare declined.
So you think the temple ceremonies are dirty?
What do you think of the Mason’s ceremonies? Are they dirty? (There are similarities, or so I hear)

And if you remember, the words were about what you would rather have done, not what we will do to you if…

I would not be advertising that I will break a covenant if I were you, I am a man of my word even if I give it to the Devil himself, I will keep it. You seem to find this as a badge of honor, I am embarrassed for you.
