(1,185 posts)and to get the real story behind Mormons, one need only read the restrictions on getting into their special temples. Discrimination doesn't even begin to cover it. Not exactly The Vatican.
"The ordinances at the approximately 68 Mormon temples worldwide are not open to the general public. An LDS church manual called Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple explains that Latter-day Saints "do not discuss the temple ordinances outside the temples." Further, the manual states:
"It was never intended that knowledge of these temple ceremonies would be limited to a select few who would be obliged to ensure that others never learn of them. It is quite the opposite, in fact. With great effort the church urges every soul to qualify and prepare for the temple experience." (thus the requirement for a 2 year door-to-door missionary stint to proselytize and recruit)
