Now, now, oaths of blood atonement have been eliminated from the Temple Endowment ceremony since 1990.

The Mountain Meadows Massacre happened in 1857, for goodness sake.

Compared to Islam, that’s real progress.

That is progress, I agree. Islam has not changed much in that way in the last 1000 years. I responded to Stourme’s comment of “Never”.

I also know several people who were upset by the removal of the oaths in the 1990 changes. That surprised me.
