Temple names

[jay santos]

I am not sure what you are asking in this thread, but I am confused by the absence of any sort of heavy-handed behavior on the part of your bishop or stake president.

I'm also confused. Did I miss the part about the illicit sex?

I think the answer is quite simple but IMO requires viewing husband/wife Adam/Eve not as male/female but as spirit/flesh. The endowment is the story of spiritual recreation that teaches us to forsake the physical(Eve or represented by the breasted participants) and to be reborn as spiritual Gods. So a question to your question, why does the spiritual 'new person' need to know the name of the carnal physical person? The names themselves are unimportant, the symbolism behind this practice is the purpose of the pageantry.y

Hasn't the church leadership learned the damage from too much pageantry!?!??!!?

My bishops and SPs have always been pretty cool to me about the temple. I always kept a recommend until about 2 years ago.

The only thing I can think of to satisfy your curiosity is to tell you that my SP prior to my endowment used the criterion of masturbation within the last 90 days to determine whether I could go to the temple, etc. If I could abstain from masturbation for 90 days, then I could serve a mission. (Little did he know that I never would have confessed it anyway.) I think the real purpose of the question was to find out if I could handle 60 days in the MTC without self-gratification.

Thanks.

I'm sure many will find this offensive and disrespectful, but while reading this thread all I can think about is that scene where Bluto is giving the pledges their Delta Tau Chi names.

How did you know mine was Flounder?

EDIT: DAMMIT, PAC. THAT WAS MY JOKE. I"M THE FAT GUY.

Oh, and Sooner, didn't I just bring this up the other day? We're thinking alike, just more people pay attention to what you say.

I've always thought it was because the man needs the wides name to resurrect her. After reading this it kind of fits in since the spirit could call forth the body to be resurrected.

I have never (and still don't) understand the purpose of the 2nd name. Like many things with the church, I just roll with it.

If you want to find out someone's name, first find out their endowment date and then do a session on its anniversary. Every temple follows the same calendar of names every year.

I wonder what they do on leap year.

At some point, the earth will become like a crystal (computer server) and you will receive a portable computer (white stone = urim & thummin) to access the main server. To access the server you will have to register. You will be asked basic questions, and upon verification you will be asked to provide your password into the system (the new name). Since your wife will not be smart enough to follow the instructions, you'll have to help her - thus you know her new name.

The new name is the keyword.

Look closely. I never deviate from the theme.

Sometimes I'm unsure if you are a funny guy or if you really believe what you say.
