IS Mormonism occult? Yes. ... Magic and Occultic beliefs & practices are laced throughout the earliest Mormon origins.
The Mormon Temple Ceremony compares quite exactly with the Masonic Ceremony, signs, tokens and penalties included. Joseph, Hyrum, Brigham, and others, were Masons. (Cult experts consider Masonic ritual, when practiced as a religion, to be a Satanic Cult.)

Note:
Each of these terrible things is, or has been, an integral part of Mormon Temple Rites. The portrayal of pastors as satanic stooges, prayers for the overthrow of the US Government (as punishment for Mormon persecution) and the chanting of "Marvelous Lucifer" in Hebrew were eliminated a few years ago because of protests received after outsiders learned about them despite Smiths stern admonition that the ceremony was received directly from god and could not be changed upon penalty of death.

Every one, be careful with MHGinTN’s post about the temple.
There is a lot in there that are conclusions, offered as facts.
Like there are those who will not read and study the anti sights, there are many who will not read any of the pro-LDS sights.
For me, I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is God's Church.
Yet I know I might be wrong.
As I read the anti sights and then compare the teachings to the teachings at the pro sights, there have been times I thought their teachings were right. As I study more and found the answer, I have only increased my knowledge about why God's Church is truly God's Church.
There are a couple of things they have said that I have not yet found the answers to, so I keep studying.
So, if you want to know, study both sides for yourself, come up with your own answer.
