Mormon News and general politics: Things going on in the world

The biggest thing to hit the LDS world in the last week has been HBO's/Big Love's decision to play a flashback scene of the main character's wife remember when she participated in the LDS temple endowment inside the LDS Temple. This is such a big deal to LDS members because even the most liberal of us (Me) find it a very private sacred ceremony, between ME and GOD. Now, many people in the world who watch this show, may not care about what they're going to see, however, in a show that isn't suppose to be about the LDS Church, this scene is completely unnecessary. People aren't really going to understand what is being shown, and they're not going to understand the meaning. Anyway, if you want to follow the ranting and see what people are saying about it, you can read here and here.

Some other interesting stories going on in the world: Elephant bones, from around the time the Book of Ether describes them in the Book of Mormon have been found in Mexico. To read more about it you can find it here.

Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol and her fiancé Levi, called it quits. Why do I care? Because I knew it was crap from the beginning. I have 0 proof about anything, but my feeling was they were forced into because of the political situation her idiot mother, Sarah Palin was in at the time. The fact they didn't even last an engagement period is proof positive they shouldn't have been together in the first place. Forced into marriage as a teenager, sounds Christian to me!

Besides Big Love, it has been a very boring week in the LDS world. When I see the episode I'll get back to anyone who cares, about my thoughts concerning the episode.

Until then,

Liberal Mormon.

    Tom Hanks puts this brouhaha into perspective (and waxes prophetic) at the 3rd season premiere of Big Love:

    I heard about this across the blogging world. I have to admit i felt rather angry and invaded the more i read. Im not one for a soap box audition but this one really hackles me because if we done this to any other faith we would be in court, strung up and more. What gives anyone the right to do this to anyones personal faith and practices?
    ok i'm going for a walk!! ;)
