In the washing and anointing ritual done in the temple, Satin is asked by Adam what the symbols mean on this apron. (These are Temple workers doing a reinactment) Satin replies, "It is the emblem of my power and priesthoods." The same emblems that Lucifer claims are the emblems of his power and priesthoods are sewn into the Temple undergarments that each Mormon wears under all the Temple clothing. It is sewn to the navel, knee and breast.
Who is going to be the first Mormon to deny this happens along with other Satanic rituals done in the Temple such as taking an oath of death, where you pretend you are slashing your own throat and disembowling yourself? Real Christianlike huh?

These are all ripoffs of the Mason rituals that Joseph Smith saw when he was a Master Mason. Look up the Masons and you will see the oaths, vows, etc... match those of the Masons almost exactly. Coincidental huh?
As far as satanic symbols, I don't recall any of that when I went to the temple. I thought the apron was to hide the nudity from God or something along those lines?

Please do a little research before posting this cookie cutter rants.
First, you have confused two ordinances. Adam is not portrayed in the Washing and Annointing.
Secondly, the symbols on Satan's apron and robe are NOT present on the temple garments worn by LdS (btw, this doesn't happen in the Washing and Annointing either).
Thirdly, I have never made an oath of death in the temple.
Fourthly, Satanic rituals are not part of the LdS faith - either inside nor outside the temple.
You seem the type who would believe that one virgin jumped from the highest tower of the SLC Temple into the Great Salt Lake to escape her Mormon captors! (over 10 miles separate the temple from the lake).

I'm confused by your question. If you mean do we have symbols in our regular pants and vests the answer is no. I'm a woman so I really don't wear a vest but I wear the same pants that you do. After I buy them from the store I do not alter them in any way. If you are speaking about our underwear then yes there are small marks on them. There seems to be a lot of confusion about our under garments. They are not "magic" nor do they make me think that I am better then anyone else. When we go to the Temple we make certain promises to follow God and Jesus Christ. The underwear simply remind us of those promises and to hold those promises close to us. It may sound weird to those outside of the religion but it works for us.

I'm an exmormon, but I am going to defend them on this one. In the video, when satan says "it is the emblem of my power and priesthoods" he was talking about the power and priesthoods that he had through God and was most likely not supposed to be wearing. Most LDS/Mormons who read your question about the oath of death are honestly not going to know what you are talking about because that hasn't happened in the temple for almost 20 years now.

Interesting ideas - I don't know where you got your information, but it obviously lacks vital and pertinent information.
Do you see me questioning what and how you believe? I've been attending the temple for the last 10 years and never taken an Oath of Death, and the symbols and other information given to us during our time in the temple are sacred and I won't discuss them.
Before you condemn someone else's beliefs as being unchristian like, you should learn how to phrase it so as to not offend.

You are getting your information from the wrong sources. If you want to know what the temple is all about, you will need to take the missionary lessons, be converted, and then qualify for a recommend.
The endowment only talks about the apron, not any symbols. Satan declares that his apron symbolizes his power. It has nothing to do with the symbols that we subsequently learn and receive. We will not discuss these sacred ordinances in detail outside of the holy temple. They are not for common conversation.

We don't self-mutilate anymore.
Actually, if you're going to believe in something, sacred underwear is the least noticable (or should be). The Oguz Turks of the Russian Steppes (10th century) had a tradition of never removing their undergarments after reaching adulthood until they rotted off. Thank heavens Joseph didn't read oriental history, or there might have been another more unpleasant aspect of all this.

Actually there is suppose to be a moon and a...what is that symbol the circle witht eh star in it...pentacram in the temple, you should do some research and see what symbols are in the temple, I bet some are freemason and maybe satanic, maybe thats why they can't keep satanist from sneaking into the church and pretending to be mormons.

You are a little off. First of all, the whole slashing and disemboweling thing ended YEARS ago. I haven't found anyone that remembers an oath of death. Satan never says anything that I remember about symbols. And you should be ashamed of yourself, Christ would never have said something as rudely as you put it! You are no more Christ-like than you accuse us of being.

Is Satin the name of the temple stripper?
Repeat after me: The beliefs of the LDS are no more bizarre than anything I believe.
Keep saying it until you understand how absurd it is for you to be mocking another religion.
