The officiator of the ceremony politely asks if anyone is not here of their own free will and choice to raise their hand, they will be invited to spend time elsewhere in the temple, where there are some really nice quiet waiting rooms, no-one will say a thing.

I guess the 'this' part was not adequately defined:

Who asks you...

NOT TO TELL WHAT GOES ON THERE?

NOT TO TELL WHAT GOES ON THERE?

Elsie, you are there to learn of God, he asks you.

First the officiator, who is leading the session tells you that you will need to keep the things of the temple sacred, then they ask if you are willing to do so of your own free will and choice, then they ask you to covenant with God that you will do so. The covenant is made and everyone who is to continue with that session has covenanted with God.

Why is this a problem for you?

Do you think you are entitled to know everything that happens in the Vatican?
Monasteries?
Nunneries?
How about Jewish synagogues?

There are plenty of things in this world you will not learn unless you join the group teaching it to their flock, why the obsession with us?
