No one is denying it exists. It just isn't church doctrin but rather up to the members discression whether they choose to pay it or not.


Don't say anything about church's doctrine. There is no such thing. Even Bruce couldn't write one.
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco
- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

You might now the words and a description of the ceremony, but you don't "know" it until you are there for the right reasons. God knows your intent.


:D I think you are right.

Not only that, but you've misrepresented the teachings of other religions, which is a clear no-no. Horrors.

Weren't you baptized into any other faith prior to your conversion to Mormonism in early adulthood? Or were you a heathen?
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.
