Don't take my word for it. Ask your parents. Ask your stake president or bishop. They'll call them "sacred" and they'll say, "we don't talk about sacred things outside the Temple." The only way you learn about them is by going through these secret rituals.

Son, we recognize the Church of LDS no longer preaches polygamy, but your insistence they never did is easily corrected by looking at history.
Look at the history of your own church.

Nor should you, dear. Look into the history of your church and let it speak for itself. Look at the claims your church makes. Hold them up against the facts we know to be true. Let the evidence lead you, but don't give up on the Truth, and
don't give up on learning about the faith claims of your church.

I missed where you said this earlier. I've never heard this idea. Can you point me to some information on this? I find that fascinating that a homo would be welcome in your church so long as he kept his filthy little diddley-winks to himself, but the founder would not. In your opinion, which Celestial Heaven do you think Smith is currently in?
