Look what happens on youtube when you type "Mormon" into the search box.

Just last week, there were a number of postings of a video someone had filmed inside a Mormon temple, showing one of their un-Christian-like ceremonies (it did have some resemblance to Masonic rituals). But now any search including the word Mormon looks like this:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mormon&oq=mormon&gs_l=youtube.12..0l10.1062.1947.0.4656.6.4.0.2.2.0.78.236.4.4.0...0.0...1ac.1.FKv4ILGghTQ


One of the things that makes them a cult (like Scientology, for example) is that, unlike mainstream religions, they have this extreme insistence on the secrecy of their rituals. Anyone can walk into a Catholic Church or Jewish Synagogue and see people at prayer; and non-Catholics and Jews are welcome at other ceremonies (like weddings). But even family members aren't allowed to witness a Mormon Temple wedding, unless they have special approval.

Edit to add:

This is what happens when you just type in "Mormon" or "Mormon Temple" -- but you can type in "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" and still see videos.

So these guy are totally ur-Scientology.

I like how they come up with outer space election COMPLACENCY as the reason for 'the negro race'.



Better not tell Georgia and North Carolina!!!

When I click on your link I get a page full of videos, the first one being the Behind the Veil video that was all over DU last week.
