Why the burial ritual with an apron just like the masons? Why did false prophet Joseph Smith just steal the rituals he learned in the masonic lodge and create a false religion? Why is it called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints why not a Freemasonic Lodge or The Temple of Hiram Abiff of Scottish Rite Freemasonry (Wouldn't that be more correct?) Why is it Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were both Freemasons and the Mormon religion is Freemasonry thinly veiled as Christianity use a search engine and ask your self about the compass, square, aprons, hand grips, rituals from god or masons? I thought Christ was sent to give us eternal life through god the father in heaven not establish a secret society on earth?
P.S. My G-Pa was a High Priest in the LDS church and my G-Ma was buried in her magic underwear with the symbols of masonry NOT Jesus Christ sewn in her apron and burial garmets.
Sorry have to call you guys out on it but interested in your answers Thanks & God Bless;)

i dont know if all things are the same identically. but my conjecture would be that since masons has lasted since the time of Solomon that it does have some bonafied historical fact.
however some things have been changed over the centuries so i believe that free masons are just another secret society that has no real meaning except apostacy.
All of my experiences seem to come from everything that has to do with Faith. I am not a mason. and never will be.

If you've grown up around the LDS church and the Masons, you'd probably know better than us if this is true.
P.S. Are you kidding about the underwear thing? Do they have special burial underwear?

This question is just another example of the intolerance, and misunderstandings the world has against The LDS Faith. There are no Masonic connections, Jospeh Smith and Brigham Young were not Masons, and the Endowment is a Sacred Covenant between a member, and Heavenly Father. We make those covenants as a way to better our selves and bring us closer, spiritually to Him as well.
Don't trust everything you read on the internet. 99% of it is usually FALSE!!! Ask a member in your area to explain some of the basic tenets of our faith, and you'll see that we are Christians, and we believe that our eternal salvation lies through Christ.

You have pretty much nailed it on the head. As you may know, the temple rituals DID appear ONLY after Joseph joined the Lodge on the trip west. There were no rituals of this sort until then. He claimed that he redeemed the rituals, but that is not the case.

Pretty good research. I was RLDS as a kid. They ain't evil people. They don't behead people that do not accept there beliefs. The Mormons are like any religious corporation, they make money. Thats kewl.
