Re: LDS Endowment Website
There is also this one:
http://www.ldsendowment.org/
http://www.ldsendowment.org/
mormon temple
This website provides access to current and historical texts of the endowment, without exposing those few portions of the ceremony that are explicitly reserved for initiates. By creating this site, I hope to discourage researchers from using temple exposés produced by individuals and organizations hostile to Mormonism.
This website presents the temple ceremony with a degree of transparency that many Latter-day Saints will find uncomfortable. However, the site does not reveal any information that is protected by covenants of non-disclosure. For a fuller explanation of my motivation to create this site, read Why this website?
FOR NEWCOMERS: If this is your first visit, I strongly recommend that you read Site contents to learn how the site can serve your particular research interests.
This site is an independent initiative. It has no official connection to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or any other Mormon organization.

Re: LDS Endowment Website
I like what was posted there:
There is nothing in the endowment that is a great secret because the profound and deepest concepts are taught openly, and plainly, in the scriptures. There is a great irony here, that the secrecy and hidden things spoken of in the endowment are only such because we have been so good at hiding them from ourselves. Endowed members are often like the absent-minded man who searches his house for his eyeglasses without even realizing they are already on his nose.

Re: LDS Endowment Website
I just finished reading all the chapters on that site. (I had only skimmed some of it previously). Good stuff. I found it to be very interesting and worth consideration.totsuzen wrote: ↑June 22nd, 2021, 1:50 pm This blog reviews the Endowment in detail and is helpful for endowed members or those preparing to be endowed: https://ldsendowment.blogspot.com/p/abo ... bsite.html
There wasn't necessarily a lot that was new to me, but it was good to get a refresh on the temple symbolism and some different perspectives.

I hereby bump it and plug it.
Wonderful site.
If we only understood that WE are to be the temple. We are to be the dwelling place (tabernacle) of God's habitation. We are to be recreated with a new Name, Identity, and Covering - removing the Old. We are to be the living sacrifice on the altar. Our bodies are the veil. Moses' tabernacle showed these things with outward token and they didn't understand. The LDS show these things more explicitly, and yet we still don't understand.
