Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veil of secrecy surrounds Mormon temple worship. While officially intended to preserve the sacredness of the experience, the silence leaves many Latter-day Saints mystified. What are the derivation and development of the holy endowment, and if these were known, would the experience be more meaningful? Modern parishioners lack context to interpret the arcane and syncretistic elements of the symbolism. For instance, David Buerger traces the evolution of the initiatory rites, including the New Testament-like foot washings, which originated in the Ohio period of Mormon history; the more elaborate Old Testament-like washings and anointings, which began in Illinois and were performed in large bathtubs, with oil poured over the initiate's head; and the vestigial contemporary sprinkling and dabbing, which were begun in Utah. He shows why the dramatic portions of the ceremony blend anachronistic events--an innovation foreign to the original drama. Buerger addresses the abandonment of the adoption sealing, which once linked unrelated families, and the near-disappearance of the second anointing, which is the crowning ordinance of the temple. He notes other recent changes as well. Biblical models, Masonic prototypes, folk beliefs, and frontier resourcefulness all went into the creation of this highest form of Mormon Temple worship. Diary entries and other primary sources document its evolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Utah, or the Mysteries and Crimes of Mormonism: Being an Expose of the Secret Rites and Ceremonies of the Latter-Day Saints, With a Full and Authentic History of Polygamy and the Mormon Sect From Its Origin to the Present Time The vast majority of our people have founded their religious belief on theories not inimical to the public good; and the scores of varying sects which arise from year to year, generally do so only to run a brief and meteor-like race, and sink like dissolved exhalations in the bogs and mire of ignorance from which they arose. But occasionally we see one of these parasitic growths upon the body of religious freedom, which, from peculiar and special causes, extends its existence beyond what we would naturally look for; and a few, originally transplanted from Europe where the parent organiza tion has long since expired, maintain a sort of sickly life through two or three generations in America. Of such are the Shakers from England, and the Har monists from Germany. But where in contact with vital Christianity, they must sooner or later yield; their wild enthusiam is sufficient for rise and growth, but lacks the virtuous energy to direct and continue. To such, comparatively innocent and harmless, the public direct little attention. But there are a few. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Utah, or the Mysteries and Crimes of Mormonism: Being an Expose of the Secret Rites and Ceremonies of the Latter-Day Saints Beadle's writings were the most downright and convincing of the relentless antagonists of Mormonism, and the developments in the case of Senator Smoot will renew the emphasis of his severities and revive interest in his writings. Miss Kate Field also visited Utah, and had the advantage of being a brave woman with true womanly sympathies; but her warfare, though brilliant and forcible, was not fought to a finish, for she was called away to be historian of the Hawaiian Islands during the agitation that preceded the annexation of the Archipelago. Exposure in an exploring expedition caused her death in Honolulu. Her analysis, from personal observation, as that of Beadle, of the testimony found in the Senate documents, would have been an increase of electric light on a dark subject. The Book of Mormon was found, according to believers, in the "sacred soil" of Central New York, not very remote from the burial place of the Cardiff Giant. The origin of the book in which the divine spirit was declared to have been manifest, has not been quite as satisfactorily accounted for as the stony giant, which was the practical joke of a stone cutter, who hid himself with a big stone, created the monster, buried it himself "darkly at dead of night," and discovered it, when, with the aid of acids, it-became ancient. It was not a lot of golden plates upon which the word of the Lord was written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a historical book and it is divided into three parts: the history of Mormonism, the political puzzle of dealing with Mormonism as a theocratic entity, and the social puzzle of the Mormons' system of bondage. The first part discusses the origins of the religion, its growth and development, and its eventual move to Utah. The second part examines the political implications of Mormonism as a theocracy and suggests potential remedies to address the problem. The final part delves into the social issues related to the Mormons' system of bondage, including their strict obedience to the priesthood and their opposition to education. The text argues that the Mormon puzzle can only be solved through a combination of political and social solutions.

Download or read book The Mystery and Controversy Surrounding Mormonism written by Walt Scott and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mormon Church is the fourth largest church in the US. Though organized in 1830, and with a current worldwide membership of over thirteen million and annual growth rate of about three hundred thousand, it is without a doubt the least well-understood major church. Surveys show the public has good feelings and respect for members, but ignorance and even animosity toward the Church's beliefs and history. This timely book addresses ignorance, misunderstanding, and misinformation, providing a clear, factual, and comprehensive picture. It deals candidly with the issues and questions people are asking, with solid, documented reasons and facts. The hope is to increase tolerance, respect and good feelings. We may not see things the same way, but we can at least try to understand and respect each other. The book is in two parts, with different levels of detail, for different levels of interests, and easy reading. Walt Scott, a fifth generation Mormon, has twelve ancestors who crossed the planes. One joined the new church in 1837, seven years after it was organized. This book benefits from that legacy and the author's lifelong experiences in leadership and teaching. He has degrees in electrical engineering and management from George Washington University and MIT (Sloan Fellow). Walt, a "pioneer" himself, was part of a small team that built several of the U.S.'s first satellites, forerunners of today's GPS systems. He joined NASA at its inception, becoming a division director at age 34 (protocol rank of one star general). He was co-founder of a company that pioneered methods for early identification of leadership talent. When PC's were first introduced, he became a self-trained consultant. Later, he and his son designed and managed the construction of modular homes, a technology that was quite new when they began. Walt has served four times as a Bishop's Counselor, twice on Stake High Councils, and in numerous teaching assignments. He and his wife, June Langston Scott, have been married for fifty-three years and have six children, nineteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. From that group and their spouses, there have been twelve who have served fulltime missions for the Church, with another preparing to leave shortly, and more anticipating that experience. They have served in New York, Texas, England, France, Russia, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil and Taiwan.
