Good point. Aside from work, I'm always writing down everyday stuff that I'm afraid I'll forget. Looking at my reminder list right now, here's the name of a mechanic my friend recommended today, the time of my grandson's basketball game Saturday, the title of a movie I want to see ("On the Basis of Sex), a grocery list, including ingredients for a new recipe, and below that the detailed recipe.
Yeah, you would think that I would write down the recipe for Eternal Salvation, wouldn't you. I vaguely remember being admonished to NOT write anything down, or record it, or talk about it to anyone--even my husband or parents. (Yes, the cult knows that in comparing notes, and speaking logically to someone else, would organize people's thoughts. That's what language is: thoughts organized into words. In order to communicate with someone, your thoughts and words must make sense to that other person. When we describe the temple rituals in words--that's the end, at least for me. Busted! It's all idiotic mumbo-jumbo, and it certainly does not come from God!
I did memorize the handshakes and names, the first time around, by repeating them over and over in my head, and for the next few days, until they were fixed in my brain. But I never spoke these things out loud.
Hey, you minions, the Mormons aren't going to talk to you, or help you remember the secret handshakes. You have to pay tithing and GO BACK to the temple, over and over, until it's memorized--suckers!
Unless they change it, and everyone has to keep returning to learn the new stuff....
Deep down, I knew. I also knew that my parents didn't believe in the temple, though they pretended to.
It's really snarky and creepy that Mormons were "forbidden" to talk about the temple, under the threat of their lives being taken. I had the penalties memorized, too! That'why no one can ever tell me, "I don't know that we taught that."
The Mormons are busy confiscating and destroying old diaries, such as my ancestors' diaries from the early days of JS and BY. They are back-pedaling, revising history and scripturs, re-publishing new "more accurate" scriptures. Huh, God changed his mind? God wasn't clear in His important revelations to the world?
The Mormons will have to kill off all the old folks, and thus erase their memories, before their Brave New Church can really move forward.
