From the article: The oath that Masons take “ to have my throat slit and bowels cut out of my body if I ever revealed any secrets of the Masonic Lodge” was, until recent times, (1990) a part of the oath of the Mormon temple ceremonies.

I've seen many Mormons asked on these threads where the Lds temple rituals even came from...(They are not from any canonized sources of their "Scriptures").

That means Mormon rituals fit the classic Latin definition of the word "occult" -- "that which is hidden."

Lds hide all of the temple shenanigans to their "prospects"...and don't reveal the sources of its impetus...which also means they can change it willy-nilly...like they did in 1990.

(They also took out the part about Christian pastors being agents of Satan -- a "drama" of sorts that was part of the temple process until 1990)

It comes from the Masonic Oath. Joe Smith was a Mason.

Yes; this means not in the ‘most correct book on earth’ either: the Book of MORMON.
