They already have!
Later in a motel, Bill baptizes Barb on behalf of Ginger, and Nicki explains that no soul is ever lost. The family prays together and seems closer, for a moment.
I need a disclaimer right now: I have never actually seen this show, having not had TV since 1997. It does sound like it is doing a nice outing of stuff I already knew about regarding “lesser known” aspects of LDS.
Have they discussed the “holy underwear” yet?
How my heart aches for my family still caught there. If only they could find freedom and wholeness through the atonement of Christ. I pray for them all!
I am sorry to hear that. I will keep them in my prayers as well.
It is sad, they proclaim “families are forever” and talk about “eternal families” yet by their own acts and refusal to accepts the Jesus in the Bible and HIS atonement, they will spend eternity AWAY from loved ones who accept Christ.
Worse, when someone leaves the LDS and becomes a Christian, “families are forever” often goes out the window and the Christian is shunned by their family, and spouses are often counseled to leave the “apostate”. It is heartbreaking.
Thankfully I have no desire to either.
We are callingyou to teel you we are broadcasting pictures of your mother and father naked in bed. We apologize but we are showing it anyway.
Sick stuff.
You are better off not knowing.
You’ll miss the Mother Ship for shur.
In case you haven’t seen the episode, it depicts one the show’s main character’s performing a sacred ritual that is meant to be kept private,

Why “is (it) meant to be kept private” ????
Bible scripture ????????
Jesus did everything out in the open...
His baptism in the River Jordan and His death on the Cross were witnessed by hundreds of believers AND non-believers...
Jesus never commanded us to hide any Christian “ritual”...
Oh, silly me...These rituals are mormon not Christian...
Never mind
:)
1 Corinthians 4:5 (New International Version)
5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
I believe God is Sovereign. It is He that brings to light what is hidden in darkness. The darkness has been exposed by the Lord.

The Words of Jesus, Himself..
Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Jhn 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Jhn 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:19-21

Jesus said...
Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Mat 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:34-37
And Jesus said...
Mar 10:29 “...Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
Mar 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 10:29, 20
There is also the scripture...
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Psalm 27:10
Of course!
I don’t know if it is sick, but it is very different than mainstream Christianity.
Agreed, the Christian has a family in the body of Christ.
I was making a comment on LDS hypocrisy.
I wonder if any of the posters in the thread are going to be upset also because “the LDS church’s depiction in the temple endowment ceremony for more than 100 years of a Protestant minister being hired by Satan to teach false doctrines to people was insensitive to Protestants.” (Anon)
Waiting...
Ahhh, still waiting...
CRICKETS...
Yes, I know...
It’s horrible how the escapees from mormonism are treated by their own flesh and blood...
Nana! good to see ya. Yep, 'dem crickets are chirping all over here lately.
Below is the text of the scene involving the Christian minister, in a conversation with Adam and Satan. In the actual ceremony (live-action or film version), the minister character wore a typical black suit with clerical collar.
This was secretly tape-recorded by a temple-goer in 1984. Upon reading it, you can see why the entire storyline was deleted in 1990. In light of things like this, I trust that you’ll agree that Mormon apologists have little room to complain about non-Mormons being “insensitive to (their) sacred things.”
ADAM: Who are you?
LUCIFER: I am the God of this world.
ADAM: You, the God of this world?
LUCIFER: Yes, what do you want?
ADAM: I am looking for messengers.
LUCIFER: Oh, you want someone to preach to you. You want religion, do you? I will have preachers here presently.
(Lucifer turns his head as a sectarian minister approaches.)
LUCIFER: Good Morning sir!
SECTARIAN MINISTER: Good morning!
(The preacher turns and looks into the camera.)
SECTARIAN MINISTER: A fine congregation!
LUCIFER: Yes, they are a very good people. They are concerned about religion. Are you a preacher?
SECTARIAN MINISTER: I am.
LUCIFER: Have you been to college and received training for the ministry?
SECTARIAN MINISTER: Certainly! A man cannot preach unless he has been trained for the ministry.
LUCIFER: Do you preach the orthodox religion?
SECTARIAN MINISTER: Yes, that is what I preach.
LUCIFER: If you will preach your orthodox religion to these people, and convert them, I will pay you well.
SECTARIAN MINISTER: I will do my best.
(Lucifer guides the preacher to Adam and Eve, who stand nearby.)
LUCIFER: Here is a man who desires religion. He is very much exercised, and seems to be sincere.
(As Lucifer presents the preacher to Adam and Eve he steps back and observes the ensuing conversation. The preacher is made to sound sincere, although misguided and credulous. Adam appears humble, faithful and immovable in his determination to serve God. He is not swayed by the preacher, and is astounded by the doctrines espoused by the preacher.)
SECTARIAN MINISTER: I understand that you are inquiring after religion.
ADAM: I was calling upon Father.
SECTARIAN MINISTER: I am glad to know that you were calling upon Father. Do you believe in a God who is without body, parts, or passions; who sits on the top of a topless throne; whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere; who fills the universe, and yet is so small that he can dwell in your heart; who is surrounded by myriads of beings who have been saved by grace, not for any act of theirs, but by His good pleasure. Do you believe in such a great Being?
ADAM: I do not. I cannot comprehend such a being.
SECTARIAN MINISTER: That is the beauty of it. Perhaps you do not believe in a devil, and in that great hell, the bottomless pit, where there is a lake of fire and brimstone into which the wicked are cast, and where they are continually burning, but none never consumed?
ADAM: I do not believe in any such place.
SECTARIAN MINISTER: My dear friend, I am sorry for you.
As I said...

Creepy, and comical at the same time.
It actually was one of the most disturbing things I have seen in a quite awhile. Disturbing because even the LDS members acknowledge it is accurate, and thus frightening to know so many are enslaved by this cult.
The depiction - it’s not accurate! Don’t you know the aprons are GREEN not blue! Sheesh
