Senator Reed Smoot, Reed Smoot Case, vol. 3, p. 185 “…the endowments have never changed and can never change; as I understand it; it has been so testified, and that Joseph Smith Jr., himself was the founder of the endowments.” — 1906

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

The verse in Chronicles is what I pray for my people all the time. How I hope they’d open their Bibles to see Jesus! They don’t need to know about Reed Smoot or what others have said but I pray they wonder why things keep changing.
To read a list of how they’ve changed things see Temple Endowment Ceremonies, Clothing and Oaths. Scroll down to Scripts of Each Ceremony.
Ask a Mormon if they think Jesus wore garments and if He had to know all the signs, tokens and secret names. Also ask why Smith contradicted what he wrote in the BoM.
Please, don’t forget to pray for these dear people!
With Love in Christ —

My mom is about the same. She hasn’t ate or drank since friday. She is unresponsive most of the time. Opens her eyes once in awhile, but they are all glassy. My great neice turned 8 today, so they are gonna baptize her soon in the lds church. Prayers for all of them. I guess that’s the normal thing in the lds church.

Oh dear MJ – I am so sorry to hear this,
Equally sad to hear about your niece.
Praying, praying, praying.
Not sure if they still hand out a KJV Bible on confirmation day which is the day after they’re baptized. You could share your favorite verse w/ her after the baptism. 😉
