The description Saundra gave reminds me of the Temple scene in “Big Love.”

Peaceful....time stops....

It used to stop for me too, when I fell asleep during the movie.

Saundra went through after the 1990 changes, before then the blood oaths were almost enough to keep people awake.

First time through though most will admit they were freaked out a bit. It is just so strange. You are primed for this ‘superspritual experience’ and then the reality is “WTH is this all about?!?” Usually the response if you vocalize concern or dismay is “Keep going and you will understand it”.

I attended pre-1990. The actors used to make me laugh. At least it was entertaining and you never really knew what to expect. But come on - a 80 year old Adam and Eve?

I was such an ingrained old-school Mormon, the blood oaths didn't even cause me to flinch - to me it was just par for the course.....swearing not to "tell" upon penalty of death. Of course the Mormon God would demand this....or at least that is what I had been indoctrinated to believe.
