I couldn't find another topic discussing this.
There is a video from RFM that recently popped up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6TA707YeWcIt says it is a transcript of the 2nd Annointing. I read a LOT faster than I can watch something like this (an hour long...sorry, I suppose I'm from that "younger" generation with no patience. An hour is just too long for a video about a subject that...while interesting...is not something I want to really invest that amount of time into).
In the comments others ask for an actual transcript and they say there is one...but I cannot find it (I assume they are meaning it is subtitles written in the video...I don't want to spend THAT much time just watching a video).
Can anyone find an actual transcript or the supposed transcript they say they also have where we can read the thing out?
Or, does anyone want to type it out?
Thank you.
On a secondary note on this, it is this type of stuff that kind of makes me peeved about the LDS church at times. Members seem to say that it is open to all, but this seems to point out that only a select few get to actually go to their heaven. This ordinance only seem to go the rich and powerful of the church (didn't Jesus teach that you should be more like the poor and humble and it was nigh impossible for a rich person to get to heaven?).
It seems to me (the Widow's Mite) that according to Jesus, the poor actually sacrifice far MORE than the rich in the worship, yet, this ordinance seem to ignore those who sacrifice the most (the poor but faithful and active of their church) and promote those who seem to be the opposite of what was described in the New Testament (the Rich and Powerful) as the only ones to get salvation.
I may be wrong though. This ordinance may actually say something very different. It would be very useful to actually be able to read what it says. That is why I would like to read the actual transcript wording rather than try to watch an hour long video.
