Endowment Video is Up

Post by _Equality »

I know I can't post it in the Terrestrial, but it looks like our friend Noah has posted the endowment video on YouTube. Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I skimmed through it. Didn't see Mitt, though. The link is in the Telestial: http://mormondiscussions.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25723

Can LDS get that taken down? It is copyrighted material.

Would the Church want to call attention to this by legal action, especially right after Glenn Beck assured his audience that the endowment was sacred, not secret, and that there was nothing in the Temple endowment that could not be found in the Old Testament?

As with many take down notices, the Church could file one with YouTube, Noah then could challeglnge the take down and YouTube would have to allow the video to remain on YouTube....Noahs challenge though has to include his real name and address which is then shared with the party claiming copyright infringement.

It was a good movie. And it does make sense. I know of no other church with such a creation story. It was very moving. However, the person who posted the video on youtube had ill intent. Sad that he is messing with his own eternity. If Mormonism is correct and true, he will be very sorry indeed. He also broke the trust that someone in his position was aware of. And that is even more sad.

Also, even though faces have been blurred out, the people who were standing there would certainly recognize themselves and may have a law suit against Noah.

The comments will be mocking on youtube and that was most likely the poster's intent. To have the ceremony mocked. Certainly not to educate. That which others consider sacred should not be mocked. But it is a trend in our society. Mock, bash and betray trust. Nothing new there. It is all apart of that one big realityTV show called 'Life in the Twenty-first Century'.

I am sure that they are going to be very excited about it. :geek:

For what? What possible claim could the people with blurred out faces have against Noah?

I consider atheism, humanism, and anti-Mormonism sacred. You, therefore, must hereby cease and desist from any mockery or criticism of my sacred beliefs. They are now off limits to you.
