People are told not to discuss the temple ceremony, not because its sacred, but because they are trying to hide the similarities between it and the masons. They figure the less people talk about it, the less exposure the similarities will get. Its all just part of the sneaky little plan.
I have purposely avoided going to the temple for the simple reason that all the videos I have seen about it on youtube scared me-- I saw some teaching the mason-like "handshakes", and personal accounts of the pre-1990 "penalties" gestures which the masons also practice.
Then I read most of the details of it here. This page highlights the details that were taken out of the ceremony after 1990, because some considered them "disturbing or offensive". they basically cut out a lot of the "women obey the men" and penalties parts:

Then I went and watched a few mason ceremonies, and.... The nearly identical gestures and routines just blew me away.
It nausiated me to know that the ceremony was NOT inspired by any vision Joseph Smith (or any prophets) had... It was simply borrowed from the masons.. And Joseph Smith WAS a mason, here is some info about why and when he joined:

That church is just a cult, built on lies, and masonic rituals.
