They have you get completely naked and wear a "shield" which is nothing more than a towel with a hole in the middle for your head. They then touched you all over your body and blessed it, first with water (washing) and then again with oil (annointing).

One of the parts I found especially cultish was the "true order of prayer" where about 10 people stand in a circle around the alter and chat "Oh god, hear the words of my mouth," while raising and lowering their hands.

Being a never-mormon, it is interesting that you bring that up because Joseph Smith was a Mason and he basically plagerized the entire Masonic ceremony and claimed it was revelation from god. While the church has since removed the death oaths from the ceremony, they were given to the early saints and, in some cases, actually carried out.Mormon411https://www.blogger.com/profile/04113317471178740266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-37843249202046132192012-09-30T16:21:07.683-06:002012-09-30T16:21:07.683-06:00You have to remember that Mormonism was started at...You have to remember that Mormonism was started at a period when many "secret" societies being set up. what you describe is very similar to that of The Freemasons.

However, since the txt was set to red on an individual basis, I can't change it unless I go into the actual post and change it there. I don't mind doing that except that I don't remember which of my many posts used red txt. I have corrected this one.
