So I just wanted to write a quick note about the upcoming airing of our sacred practices on the HBO show "Big Love", the show decided to show their supposed "non-mormon", "fictional" polygamists couple going through the temple in one of our ceremonies performed in the temple. Our church has always taught that these practices are not SECRET but are very SACRED, and should only be part of a LDS member's spiritual journey. It requires years of study and preparation to comprehend and acknowledge the special work done in the temple. This is not the first time that this has happened to our church, nor will it be the last.
If you are really that curious please take the time to find correct and accurate sources:
Early Christian and Jewish Rituals Related to Temple Practices
or
lds.org
I also like the response/article in Mormon Times

I had alot of respect for Tom Hanks before cause he was a good actor. He was really mad at the "Mormons" and voiced his complaints that Prop 8 was passed, and he placed blame on the campaign funders, not the actual voters. So is he getting back? I personally think so, and in the wrong way.
BTW, Tom Hanks is the producer for Big Love, just in case you didn't know.
this makes my blood boil. it's not just that it's my own religion, i would hope that the airing of any sacred practice would make me this mad. being that it is so near and dear to my heart...that just adds spice.
