Anyone else heard that Satan is gay? I had a companion who claimed it was doctrine.

As in homosexual? Or like,

-I totally hate Satan.

-I know. He's sooo gay.
-"I was gonna say something but I forgot what it was."
-"Well, it must not have been very important or you wouldn't've forgotten it!"
-"Oh, I remember. I'm radioactive."

but seriously, to the point that you're making, inconceivable. it's a somewhat interesting point that i hadn't thought about before. so yes, according to the wording used by "the satan" (i don't respect nor adore him), it is a way to conceal sin before god. so, if each temple attendee represents adam or eve, they are presumably going through the motions that adam and eve went through (just kind of thinking through it aloud here). i get what you're saying, at least i think i do, but i'm trying to understand how much it seems to have affected you. maybe i don't get its full import. could it be that it's just a symbol to remind us about our innate tendency to cover up our wrongdoing in order to help us keep an open relationship with the lord (and by extension, with our spouses)?

just riffin' here.

Or could it be that the Freemasons wore aprons, and this is the only mention of aprons in the Bible?

that they did/do. not sure what you're saying in the second part of your sentence. are you talking about the mention in genesis of adam and eve making aprons? if it's a re-telling of the garden of eden story, then the aprons fit right in.

on the freemason subject, (with which i don't mean to hijack the thread but it does relate), i know i still need to read some reliable sources about the origins of freemason rituals, but i've read that even though they themselves site hiram abiff as their "founder" (or if not, they trace their origins back to his time), but modern scholars say that their origins are much more recent, withing the last, say, 500 years give or take? and also that early masons got their inspiration from druids (am i way off here? sorry, i don't have time at the moment to look these things up).

what i'm getting at is the early brethren claimed that freemasonry was a degraded form of ancient/true temple worship (with either heber c. or brigham saying that even though it was a bit off, "menny [sic] things are perfect"). is there any conclusive evidence that freemasonry is definitely not of ancient origin? i need to go back to "mysteries of godliness" to see what buerger says about it. what say you all? where should i read (once i'm out of school).

You'll wait a hell of a long time for an answer.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
