Changes to the Mormon temple endowment: a historical and personal perspective. (Long episode)
The LDS temple is one of the most distinctive aspects of Mormonism. It excites controversy, and even some members of the LDS faith are not comfortable with it. I stand out a little from the pack of ex-LDS people in that I always enjoyed the temple. I try to help everyone understand the temple a little better, and especially why it may be that it causes discomfort. That discomfort may contribute to ongoing changes to the ritual. Sorry it's long, but this is a complicated topic.
I apologize for it being long. It lays out some of my big picture views on the temple and Mormonism in the context of Western history. Of you stick with it, you will definitely learn something, but it is a long episode.
