  • No. ________________ For some reason, the system is not allowing me to post comments on this answer. So let me deal with this here. science_geek wrote, ".. but you know that it is a lie. Are you saying that it was not a part of the ceremony? When I asked the question, I did not know that the ordinance that had been in force before time, had been corrupted." There has never been a time when a person's genitals were touched as part of any temple ceremony. If you had been through the temple as a believe I remember you claiming to have done, then you would know that an assertion that it does happen is a lie. So, once again, someone here IS lying. Once again, I deny that it is I.
  • It is sort of true. I'm an exmormon. When you go to the temple they give you a thing like a sheet with a hole for your head that is open at the sides. Part of the ritual involves going into an enclosed space where a temple worker wets their finger in a faucet and then touches each of your body parts while reciting a blessing for that part and yes, one of those parts is your "loins" that you might be fruitful and overpopulate the earth. I hear they changed this part of the ritual a few years ago. I guess exmormons got the word out and they were worried that the weirdness of it might scare of potential new members.
  • NO! This is not true thats discusting! They have never done this.
  • i dont know if its true or not, but i wanna piece of that!!
  • No, it's not true. Previous to 2005, a white linen cloth covered the body and various parts of the naked body were touched under the cloth, but not the genitalia and not in a sexual manner. See this page for the exact text and a detailed description of the ritual: http://www.lds-mormon.com/veilworker/rituals.shtml In 2005, this was changed so that the temple-goer is no longer exposed, and during the ceremony is only anointed on the forehead. See this site for more details regarding these changes: http://home.teleport.com/~packham/endow05.htm
  • Yes, I was the official annointer for 12 years. We used olive oil, and occasionally a viniagrette. When I was annointed I requested ranch, but all they had was french.
  • I wouldn't be surprized, this is the kookiest religion in the world next to the Jehovah's witnesses.
  • How did you know about the tongue in cheek incident? I was picking a piece of pocorn from the inside of my cheek, when the hydrolic oil dispenser pressure wnto to 600 psi and poked me in the eye, hence my early retirement. I'm still waiting for my missionary fiance' to return from New Jersey. "I'll keep an eye out for you Elder Stephenson."
  • no it is not true.
  • no, it's not true. There is nothing sexual or obscene done in a temple, and there never was. It's a question like asking, "Is it true that Catholic Priests rub naked children with oil and water?"
