You can have a Mormon for president, does that not frighten the fuck out of you?

Okay. Watching that just made me feel like I had the most normal childhood ever.
If this isn't a cult, I have no idea what is.

Anyone else notice the banner ad for Billy Graham, advising that you vote for "Biblical values"?
Apparently Graham's organization couldn't quite bring themselves to describe Mormons as "Xians" (!), but apparently the Book of Maroni" is close enough to the Bible to consider it pretty much the same....

Billy Graham endorses a Mormon Bishop over a black Baptist without skipping a beat.....
Romney has the hubris to claim his god is everyone's god
....and Romney is ahead in the electoral college count, oh geeez are we in for it.

I had heard from a former Mormon that things got weirder and weirder the higher you got in the church.
He even said that the officiant had sex with the bride before her wedding. Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but after seeing this video anything is possible.

That should have been the question asked Ann on The View. I believe a thin curtain seperates the priest from the bride. Some resident Mormon should address this rumor.

While that is way weirder than anything I personally experienced in the Borg, I am well aware that I was not privy to all the craziness that surely exists.

Interesting to see the Mormons are using the demiurge concept, differentiating Elohim from YHWH (which actually makes a bit more sense in Genesis, with a more detached deist God Elohim engaging in some creative works, but YHWH is the error-prone "trickster" God who displays a liking for practical jokes (eg the Flood, or the whole forbidden fruit prank played on Adam and Eve).
Note the golden-horned calves, too.....
Sure, lets give THAT guy codes to the nukes! Maybe he'll take us all to fall-out shelters on the planet Shish Kabob!

Uh, like where WOULD it exist? At the KH level? No way, not at the organizational level: there'd likely be accounts of it here, long before now. These Mormon Temple rituals have been KNOWN to be secret for decades, but rarely are they outed, as in this video.
I suppose you can imagine some whacky stuff going on behind the closed doors of the GB meetings, but the fact is Ray always exposed in print in CoC what happens: it's as fascinating as watching paint dry.
Do you have any specifics in mind, or are you just imagining some possible unknown ritual(s) that MIGHT exist?
