      I imagine he was attempting to link to the online prayer roll thing and inadvertently posted the wrong link.

            Yeah, it was a thing. One roll for your loved ones, and another for your enemies. It didn't last very long. Remember that the whole temple thing started during a time of intense conflict. Part of the old ceremony was to swear an oath to avenge the martydom if you had a chance. That part didn't go away until it came to light during the Smoot hearings in 1904-07.

            The original endowment was 10 hours. Can you imagine?

              There should be an option of a 2 hour version and you are expected to go back regularly for proxy work, or a one and done 10 hour session.

                Because what we need are news stories of fathers choking their kids for choosing the one-time version over a lifetime of slavery service.

                    The church should have a retro night where they do the original session. Would kill with hipsters.

                                How many of you actually used it though? You had a chance to put Bushman on the rolls and you couldn’t be bothered to type his name.
