MORMON TEMPLE ENDOWMENT CEREMONY (SLC "LIVE" VERSION w/ Closed Captions)

There are only two Mormon temples in the world that perform what is known as a "LIVE" endowment ceremony; Salt Lake City and Manti, Utah. This video was filmed in the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple. It was filmed on two occasions in 2011 and 2012.
In place of the movie that is seen in the rest of the temples, volunteer temple workers act out all the roles in the ceremony.
If you have questions that require personal attention, contact the creator of the video at: [e-mail] or you can follow me on Twitter: @NewNameNoah
Donations to continue this effort are appreciated. They may be sent through PayPal to: [e-mail] but they are hardly mandatory so save your bitchin' for a cult that REQUIRES your "donations" for salvation. Donations to me are 100% VOLUNTARY.
(You'll notice that the endowment in this video was done on behalf of a "Preston Burns" but then at the veil the name given was different. Keep in mind, the part of this video filmed at the veil was filmed on a different date however, the "new name" is the same. That's because both visits were made on the 14th of a month. The "new names" are the same on any given day of the month with only 31 mens "new names" and 31 womens "new names". These "New names" are switched around about every ten years.)
VERY special thanks to Larry Greenwood for providing the closed captioning. It is a VERY slow and miserable process. And now, if there are faults in the Closed Captions they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of Larry, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ. ;-)

The first time I went through the temple, I had a bad feeling about it. Something in my head yelled run, but I was in too deep in to back out. I had to take out my endowments in order to get married, it was my wedding day. Non of my family was "worthy" to attend our wedding. I thought this was supposed to be the most wonderful day of my life.

You got a bad feeling , yeah! I dont doubt it, This video is nothing more than a freemason masonic ritual, secret society, fleecing the people, so obvious, no god in there, but Lucifer us is. That is who the LDS worship LUCIFIER! DIVORCE HER AND RUN

I had the exact same experience 24 years ago. I cried and cried. Not because it was special, but because it freaked me out. I’m so sorry I was so brainwashed that my parents had to sit downstairs while I got married. They weren’t Mormon. They drove all the way from Kentucky to SLC. So messed up!

[@Moose46316]

Why did you have a bad feeling about it? My wife and I were married 40 years ago in the Provo Temple. Some of my family couldn't attend because they weren't worthy. It doesn’t mean they are bad people they just weren't able to attend the temple. It was the most wonderful day of my life. We are still happily married and attend the church and the temple regularly. I understand the first time can be overwhelming. I am not judging you. I just want to know why you had a bad feeling when millions who attend have the opposite experience.

[@Moose46316]

@janetstephens9563 I know the first time can be overwhelming. It was for me. The reason you have to be a member is to ensure you are worthy to have a temple recommend. Have you earnestly prayed and asked the Lord to increase your understanding. My grandparents couldn't enter the temple when we were married 40 years ago, so we had a huge reception to make sure everyone felt welcomed

Now I understand why Freemasonry is so highly discouraged amongst momon communities. A very large part of the endowment is derived directly from masonic degree work.

Actually, it is delivered as revelation direct from God. It was lost over the centuries and then restored again in this dispensation. It actually started with Adam and Eve. People leaving the Mormon church is not new. It has been going on from day one. If you don't want to stay, fine. We will see who is right on Judgement Day. I say to those who leave; which commandment did you not want to live? I wish you all well and a life full of happiness. Have a good day.

@@Hesaidbebelieving respectfully, its only been 190 years since the book of Mormon was introduced to the modern world, 1,830 or so years after Christ's crucifixion.. if through faith in Jesus alone is not enough, your religion being fairly new.. this endowment requirement was unknown, what do Mormon's say about the souls of those born before the 1830s?? Upon Christ's death & resurrection the faith/church was preached, established then and there.. if it weren't enough why would God wait 1830 or so years to correct/add to it? & lastly, "The great battle" thousands & thousands of casualties and not one fragment of anything, bone, spearheads, horse bone.. something!

[@firstbaldwin]

DMF MD and How many people did the supreme example Jesus baptize himself ? -NONE. not so much as single one. Jesus' "baptism" -the one where He had his outlaw cousin perform the act in the Jordan river would be the modern equivalent of somebody having OJ Simpson baptize them in a fountain in front of a Las Vegas Casino and then demanding to be considered a member of the MORmON church as a matter of protest. Jesus' baptism was an act of REBELLION and CONTEMPT for the Jewish establishment. Jesus was killed because He was a REBEL, NOT because He was a conformist. You STUPID ASS MORmONS just can not comprehend that. and then you rush in to say that Jesus got baptized because he was so obedient. You are STUPID made of STUPID. You are MORmON !!!

[@firstbaldwin]

DMF MD MORmON QUOTE : " The old testament has many references to temples and temples ceremonies." FACT: The MORmON (Masonic) temple ceremony and the OT Judaic temple ceremonies can be examined and compared. They are NOT the same. NOT even close, In spite of Smith throwing in some non related OT creationist content into the (ridiculous) MORmON Temple endowment ( that Smith just cobble together as Smith just made stuff up as he went along) to try to suggest other wise. You are a MORmON = some one who can not tell a PERVERT (Joe Smith) from a prophet.

[@firstbaldwin]

DMF MD There is a LOT that you do not know, MORmON. I'd suggest that you shut your MORmON mouth, but I like seeing you make a fool of yourself and so aptly display the idiocy of MORmONISM. I could never do the damage to MORmONISM that you MORmONS do, but do not expect me to stop ridiculing you.

[@jlewis8145]

@@JoeontheInside When Lucifer appears in the Mormon temple ceremony he is wearing an apron. When Adam asks him about it, Lucifer boldly replies: "It is an emblem of my power and priesthoods." So, there is no ambiguity here - the apron has nothing to do with God; it is an emblem of Satan's power and priesthoods. A few minutes later, when they hear God, Lucifer tells Adam and Even to make themselves aprons and hide. Adam replies, "Come, let us hide," and at that point in the ceremony everyone is told to put on their aprons. And they do. So, for the rest of the ritual, on top of their temple garments with the masonic marking, and on top of their white temple clothes, temple patrons wear a dark green apron - in obedience to Lucifer and symbolizing his power and priesthoods. ***** Contrast the LDS teaching with God’s testimony found in the Bible: “he [God] saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy” (Titus 3:5). “For by grace (unmerited favor) you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). The Heavenly Father of the Bible invites you to make a trade. You give Him your sinful thoughts, your selfish actions, your imperfection, your murder, adultery, and all the other sin that blackens your soul, and in exchange He will give you the perfect righteousness of His Son Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul said it like this: We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he [God] made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:20-21) It’s a package deal: you get Christ’s perfection credited to you, and with it you get all your sins forgiven (past, present and yes, all the future ones too), adoption as a child of God, total worthiness and acceptance by God, and the promise-yes, the guaranteed promise-of eternal life in His presence. What can this mean for you? Jesus was perfect, and he was perfect so he could give his perfection to us as a gift. Consider the completed action in this Scripture: For by a single offering he [Jesus] has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14). Will We Listen to Lucifer or Jesus? Lucifer says, “Make you aprons.” In effect, do some of it yourself-it’s the only way to preserve some semblance of pride, dignity, and self-respect, and to gain for yourself what you need. That is quite consistent with the instructions every Latter-day Saint is given before going through the temple endowment ceremony. Your Endowment is, to receive all those ordinances in the House of the Lord, which are necessary for you, to enable you to walk back to the presence of the Father, passing the angels who stand as sentinels, being enabled to give them the key words, the signs and the tokens, pertaining to the Holy Priesthood, and thus gain your eternal exaltation. (7:05) Jesus said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). In effect, “I’ve done it for you, all of it. Now are you willing to humble yourself enough to simply take it?” As long as you are trying to contribute anything of your own to merit God’s provision of eternal life in His presence, you are rejecting the gift of Jesus Christ’s finished work on your behalf. Jesus said: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Mt. 11:28 Nowhere in the Scriptures does Jesus say anything about an apron.... or grips.... or signs and tokens. You can trust Jesus.

VERY FEW Mormons will seriously investigate the origins of their temple endowment ceremony. Many Mormons believe that they do indeed resemble the ancient Jewish rituals as they were performed in Soloman's temple as well as in Moses' portable tabernacle he took with him through the desert. Very few Mormons have even the slightest clue what rituals were performed in Solomans temple. They accept what they are taught and will rarely question it or dig deeper using non-Church approved material.

I grew up in this religion and most of my family still practices it. I went to the temple to be baptized for the dead when I was 12 years old. I was told growing up it was the most wonderful place in the world. That was the only time I ever stepped foot in a temple and from that moment on I had the creepiest feeling about the religion I was raised in. I just knew something about it wasn't right. I'm glad god enlightened me at a young age. Really, all any mormon has to stand on with this religion is faith. Faith in things that make no logical sense whatsoever. It is all about some positive emotion being developed, feeling a spirit and gaining a testimony through these emotions / feelings. I'm glad that when I went into the temple at 12 years old it made me sick. I never went back, as much as my parents pleaded with me to return. One year of seminary and I quit that as well. As soon as I was 18 I was done with the church. I just attended a sacrament meeting for the first time in a decade with my sister.

@John Smith I don't care what you think about Bible Jesus. I don't care if you believe in an impossible Trinity view that has no logic.

As Christian as anybody else that believes that Jesus is any level of divine and that his resurrection has a meaning, it doesn't matter what specifically.

[@leoguarizo2]

@John Smith, You didn't understand. I said that YOUR opinion or even the position of your Church about Jesus doesn't matter. What you believe is totally irrelevant if you want to set if a group as a Christian. If they believe that is a divine being, and that he resurrected, they are Christian. Where is your opinion here? Nowhere. Let me ask: 1. What is the trinity for you? One god or three gods? If it is one god, how could Jesus be on the water being baptized, while the Spirit is a dove, and you hear a voice from above... How is one god in... three different places??!? 2. How do you explain Acts 7:55-56: (But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”) How can one guy be seen in two different places, with two different bodies? 3. God is invisible? What about Hebrews 12:14 (Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.) and Exodus 33:11???? (The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.) 4. Also, in this "inspired book" called Bible, in Judges 6:11-12, 22 (The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” -- When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the Lord, he exclaimed, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face!”) we see THE SAME expression, and in one of them (Judges), Gideon uses the expression FACE TO FACE as literal. Why shouldn't we interpret FACE TO FACE as the same way in Exodus? What is different? Did God slip a little bit and forgot about these passages? Ouch! I am not a Mormon anymore, and I am no longer a Christian. But in this Joseph was right: The trinitarian view makes no logical sense. That's why he "corrected" it, so it would sound plausible for his audience, because it's a logical way of understanding, so he could get more followers. Joseph knew his Bible, do you?

Although most WOMEN only go through the temple for their endowments when they are getting married, most MEN go through when they are going on a mission. In the past that was at age 19 but the age limit has been lowered to 18 for guys and now 19 for women (previously 21). Because of this, MANY more women are serving missions and, to the best of my knowledge, they are going through the temple for the endowment ceremony before going.

[@andybee1381]

What exactly is the point of all this? Growing up Mormon, I was always frustrated that nobody would tell me what an Endowment was. All anyone would ever tell me is that it's when you make special, sacred covenants with Heavenly Father. What covenants are made in this ceremony? The only thing they did was promise to be chaste, and give your time, money and talents to the church. These are covenants that all teenagers already know about. These aren't secret. It seems like the entire purpose of this endowment is to learn to secret handshakes. And what's the point of the handshakes? Is it supposed to be the key to get into the Celestial Kingdom? Is there going to be a literal veil where God tests everyone on whether or not they know the secret handshakes? If you forget, are you going to go to the Terrestrial Kingdom? And how on earth are you supposed to memorize all that your first time through?

[@NewNameNoah]

Miss Adjusted they also swear an oath to "avoid loud laughter" and to consecrate everything they have or ever will have to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The "point" of all this is to show potential converts to Mormonism what they're getting into.

[@andybee1381]

NewNameNoah I was actually asking what the point of the temple ritual was. What is their reasoning for the secret handshakes? That's really the only part that isn't talked about outside the temple because it's "sacred, not secret" (bullshit). People in the church rarely talk about Heavenly Mother because she's so "sacred," but yet they still talk about her. Outside the temple, people rarely refer to Heavenly Father as Elohim because it's so "sacred," but they occasionally still do The handshakes and silly password rituals at the veil are the only "sacred" things that no one talks about. I get the feeling it's because it freaks people out (and rightly so; it's pretty creepy). But what is the church's reasoning behind the masonic initiation rituals? They have to have some answer, even if it's a bullshit answer.

[@NewNameNoah]

Miss Adjusted they actually believe that when we die we will approach some sort of heavenly veil where we will be tested on our knowledge of the "sacred, not secret" Masonic grips that are taught in the temples. They believe the endowment ceremony is required for exaltation.

One of the most disturbing parts of the ceremony is something that has since been removed (Why was it removed? Did God make a mistake to put it in there in the first place?). The part that was removed was during the oaths in which you had to swear that you would not reveal the signs. The oaths would end with, "Rather than do so, I would suffer my life to be taken." As you said that part of the oath, you had to make a slashing motion on different part of your body (your neck and bowels are the ones I remember). Wow!

The only other sacred text I’ve ever read is the Bible, but it doesn’t have an intro used to justify itself. Also it seems to skip around a lot and new character get added out of no where without any context.

The fact is, the Book of Mormon says: "Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth." -1 Nephi 14:10 Before 1990, LDS Inc. portrayed a Protestant minister in the temples as a hireling of Satan.

@@dallinbissett1992 because i was born and raised LDS and served a mission and have been through the temple and was sealed in the temple and have served in many, many time consuming callings and sat through countless pointless council meetings and devotionals and have been berated by multiple stake presidents about not shaving my beard, amd even a temple sealer, he mocked my beard while i sat under a picture of jesus with a beard. So with those among other experiences (many of which were also good) with the mormon church, amd the fact i have never had any other life long devotion to another church, it is only fair that I rail against this church. I camt speak for anyone else, but likely the people who, like me, made it 37 years believing only to happen upon the gospel topics essays amd other sources of historical information which show cover-up and deception from the apostles and prophets from joseph to Russel, after that realization that I have devoted my life to a lie, yes, I will rail against it. And it wouldnt be right for me to call out any other faith system for lies because I do not know they are lies. It is my opinion that the LDS faith is based on lies and deception which opinion i have formed through a life time of practice as a devoted Mormon. You dont have to agree, you can rationalize my opinion away by thinking I was never truly devoted, I never actually studied, I never prayed with real intent, but if you judge me in that way you will be wrong and you will be condemning yourself to erroneous judgment. Assuming you believe what the scriptures say about with what judgment you measure out will be used against you. So I think thats why people go against the church, because we werent guilty of the first offense, or the second, or the third, which means by book of Mormon justice we are justified in fighting against the church. No ill will towards you. Just sharing my opinion and offering an explanation. My beef is with the church administration, not any individual person.

[@valeriegriner5644]

I've heard about that....the "blood oaths" for revealing the "temple secrets"....slashing of throats or drawn and quartered(entrails ripped out). The Jesuits liked to do this to people! The LDS Church has had to "revise" MANY things that were very...."weird"....like the 5 points of fellowship....where women had to bump "breast to breast" with the "Lord" through the temple curtain.....and the full body "washing and anointing"....very humiliating and kinky in the old days. This is just for starters. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were perverts.

[@paulgregersen3570]

Recently a liberal college professor exploited the fact that Christ told his followers to pluck out their eyes and mutilate their arms and lims by cutting them off rather than sin against God taught in the Bible. Better to die a horrible death than deny Christ. This teaching is in the Bible universally accepted by non Mormon Christians who had no way in the college class to defend Christs teaching as the other students mocked and laughed at their religion, evidently teaching mutilation. Actually these things were symbolic because Christ never had this done to anyone neither did the Mormons. If Mormons did such then where? If mutilation ever happened even once a thousand church critics would have spread it worldwide. Obviously it is only biblical symbolism. However, Christ was literally mutilated horribly and so were his apostles, being beheaded and skinned alive and obviously crucified in the most horrible fashion. I'm sorry dieing for the gospel was always part of the religion. If you cannot except milk how will you ever stomach meat? Well I guess you decided to quit when the challenge became too personal.

[@gwennethschibany890]

@@paulgregersen3570 You're twisting facts,the blood oaths were taken rather than reveal what goes on in the temple,not rather than deny Christ.And Christ said it would be better for someone to have their arms cut off or their eyes plucked out,not that they should swear an oath to actually do that.

[@paulgregersen3570]

Both are about Christ obedience. An oath to Christ is a life and death commitment to follow his example. Rather than save himself he sacrificed his own blood. "Father not my will but thine be done." His apostles then likewise followed him to their own death. They gave their mortal life! Peter was sacrificed upside down because he insisted he was not worthy to be killed as his master. He who loses his life for my sake shall find eternal life. Plucking out eyes or limbs or destroying the whole body is better than losing his kingdom even if you never have to physically prove it. Christ also died for what he valued more than his earthly body. How sacred is your oath to Christ if you cast your pearls of most value up for public ridicule like someone obviously has done posting it above? It's what you are willing to commit and sacrifice for rather than surrender and quit. Either you value his kingdom to come above your own life or death or you donnot? Obviously, the Bible is also talking about an oath of total commitment challenging every believer with a symbolic challenge of bodily bloodshed. Why? Christ would not have described bodily mutilation recorded in the Bible rather than willingly surrender to evil. Think about it? The entire gospel is based around selflessness or else it means little else to you. Even if you are of another Christian faith and fully commit your whole life to him. Dont they also silently take a similar inward life and death oath of total sacrifice for his kingdom regardless if you voice it as an oath or not?. It's always there. The entire temple ceramony itself is about surrendering everything of most value to his kingdom first and foremost above all else even if that oath is silent today or not. Like all truly committed christians who make an oath to God and willingly surrender it all to his will. The person who posted this video is saying loudly to public how this commitment means nothing to him anymore, Simply go ahead and mock this commitment I once made to Christs kingdom by running it all through the mud publicly for the sake of public mockery and open ridicule. Instead of desicrating the temple he desecrated his own temple, himself.

Each thing has a meaning. Every tiny detail. They solemnly pray in gratitude for the opportunity and for God's blessings upon them and those on the list and their posterity. Looks like a short but a very solemn prayer! They follow a certain structure: first instruction, then practice (at the Veil). Their posture symbolizes unity (circle) and mutual support between men and women. They emulate Adam who fell to have this necessary experience and is now asking the Lord for instructions how to return home. To tell the truth, looks like very deep philosophy, absolutely in line with the Plan of Salvation.

Most temple workers, including those acting out the roles of Adam & Eve, Lucifer, Elohim & the Apostles are volunteers. Many of them have "received callings" to these positions by their Church leaders. However, virtually every temple has numerous PAID employees (Cooks, Engineers, Groundskeepers, Custodians, Security, Secretaries, etc.) but the volunteers far outnumber the paid folks.

[@navinewolf]

first last Well first of all when the LDS church allowed polygamy the wives wouldn't really have more than one husband. (There are reported cases of wives getting new husbands i.e. someone more important in the church but that wasn't the norm). According to their theology the brides get called up by their God husbands sealed to them in the temple. So therefore they couldnt have more than one husband or theyd be boucing around between celestial realms every day. too much juggling. So if you were to focus on any one point the "husbands" things is a silly point. -- Secondly (and most importantly and obviously) he clearly says all the titles (priests husbands wives kings queens) in the plural denoting that he is simply talking to everyone there. I think using a bit of basic common sense you should have been able to figure this out for yourself but hey, thats what Im here to help you out with.

[@craigschy4823]

Grammatically, it would be correct. Queens and priestesses (many) would have husbands (many).
