I find it interesting that a faith can be promoted but a critique of that faith is actively suppressed.
Since the temple ceremony was supposed to have been given by revelation to the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, some members of the church are very disturbed that the current church leaders would make changes in the sacred ritual.
Although some Mormon apologists would have us believe that the changes were really very minor or were only made so the ceremony could be shortened, the evidence we present in Evolution of the Mormon Temple Ceremony clearly demonstrates that many of the changes were major and affect very important Mormon teachings.
In the 1990 version of the temple ceremony the Mormon leaders removed the "penalties" for revealing the secrets. These penalties had previously been considered "most sacred." We have always felt that these penalties were not compatible with Christian teachings and have strongly opposed them in print for over twenty years.
The evidence shows that the wording with regard to the penalties was originally very strong, but has been altered over the years. In the book, Temple Mormonism, published in 1931, p. 18, we find this information concerning the First Token of the Aaronic Priesthood:
"The left arm is here placed at the square, palm to the front, the right hand and arm raised to the neck, holding the palm downwards and thumb under the right ear.
"Adam'We, and each of us, covenant and promise that we will not reveal any of the secrets of this, the first token of the Aaronic priesthood, with its accompanying name, sign or penalty. Should we do so, we agree that our throats be cut from ear to ear and our tongues torn out by their roots.'...
"SignIn executing the sign of the penalty, the right hand palm down, is drawn sharply across the throat, then dropped from the square to the side."
Your "critique" soon turns to Mormon Bashing.
Most do it for the express purpose of insulting Mormons.
Just like Governor Boggs who issued the extermination order in Missouri. That was finally repealed about 10 or 15 years ago.
