The thought occurred to me as I was waking up this morning.
I was raised in the church and had been prepped by a nice bishop that the temple ceremony might seem strange (I don't know if strange was his choice of word), but to stick with it.
Anyway, it was weird to me. Having to put on a silly outfit. I'd never had to do that before. Having to remember a new name, a bunch of handshakes, a whole line of dialogue about me and my posterity, talking to an old guy through a veil.
I thought it was weird then, and thinking about it now that I'm out, it's just like this tacked-on thing (obviously ripped from the pages of Masonry) that my whole (dedicated) life to Mo'ism hadn't prepared me for.
Has that thought occurred to anyone else? It's like, church was a boring, normal affair, and then suddenly I'm playing dress up and role-playing. So out of left field, thinking back on it.
