Is this Mormon in trouble?

Post by _Boaz & Lidia »

The owner of http://ldsendowment.org is a active Mormon?

Yet, he has revealed the ceremony and history on his website????

From the Whois record, the owner is: http://www.unc.edu/~jcduffy/

Someone call up Wade, bcspace, Jason, harmony, liz, zak or even DCP so they can rat him out and get this terrible site shutdown!

According to the WayBack Machine(web archive) his site has been active since early 2002.

Why should I rat anyone out? That makes no sense. (but then, you rarely make sense).

He's had that website up for ages. If someone were going to kill it, they'd have done it by now.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Interesting site. I was surprised in reading the history section by all of the changes that have taken place in the ceremony.

As to the OP question, I think many members would be offended by the contents. I know many on the FAIR board would be. I was once banned for two weeks for mentioning the an oath of vengeance was once part of the ceremony.

Yeah, talking about the temple ceremony in any form is like being on a Santa Claus research site and asking what happens to Santa when one of the reindeer takes a dump while in flight.

So then would you say the Mormon temple ceremony is not as divine as LDS Inc wants you to believe?
Do you think it is nothing more than a masonic rip off by the early leaders?

Hmmm...it appears that Professor Duffy is in my neck of the woods. He teaches at UNC Chapel Hill.

To answer your question, no, I'm not inclined to research and find out who this guy's bishop is, and report him.

I was correcting your obvious misinformation about something you attributed to me, not opening the door for a discussion of the divinity of the temple ceremony.
