    You would love it. It's called The Endowment Ceremony and it's super secret. You even get a new name that is your temple name.

Then you wear an apron like a mason but it's not a masonic apron it's like green fig leaves. Ha! ha! It's totally asinine.

    Ok so you get these signs and tokens which are secret hand shakes that mean different things and you have to memorize them to get into the holy of hollies of the temple. There are four secret handshakes and when you are shown them you swear a death oath that you will never divulge them. One penalty is having your tongue ripped out by its roots. The other one your throat is slit. The third one your are disembowled and I forgot the fourth one.

    Anyways all this super secret stuff is on the internet and anyone interested now knows so so much for secrecy.

    The official name of the church is: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Great Britain was one of the first countries proselyted so you have had Mormons over there since the 1830's or 1840's. Most of the foreign converts who migrated to the US came out of Great Britain or Scandinavia. That's why there are a lot of tall blondes in Utah. There are a lot of Scandinavians there. There is a temple in London. I think there is one or more others in the UK. There is a chapel in the Hyde Park area of London.

    Mormonism is pretty heavy religion. It's pretty demanding. I would say that's why a lot of Mormons are successful because you have to have a hell of a work ethic to stay on the church treadmill and like jews, education is pushed. It's a "Chosen People" religion. Basically the jews blew it so God made Mormons the "Chosen People". If you believe it you really get a confidence boost. You also tend to be overbearing on people outside the clique and they tend to get pissed off. That's why the Mormons got ran out of everywhere and they eventually settled in the Utah desert. Once in isolation it grew.

    The tea & biscuits Anglican church is known as the Episcopalian church over here. Actually have one about three blocks down the street. Never been there for services, but they had some sort of a block party/open house thing a couple weeks ago, so I dropped by for the Hell of it. Nice enough people, but I think I was the only person there who was between the ages of 10 and 60, so despite the easy walking distance, if I were church shopping it probably wouldn't be at the top of my list.

    They weren't serving tea & biscuits oddly enough. They have a "multicultural" congregation, so they were cooking up hot dogs, egg rolls, and taquitos. Tragically, all they had to wash it down with was lemonade. They could have busted out the communion wine, maybe?

    Someone snuck a camera into the Salt Lake City Temple. This is the prayer circle. You can put the name of someone you want to help on a scroll and it goes on the alter and they have a group prayer over it. You can see the funky temple clothes. You would think with all the hocus pocus and having to give all these hidden signs and tokens to get into the celestial room there would be some kind of reward. Nope. You go into a really nice room that is supposed to represent where God lives and you just can hang around there. It's like sitting in a really nice hotel lobby. LOL! No Rolex. No 72 virgins. No party in the baptismal font. It's pretty boring. But you can make killer business contacts if you know how to network. The thing is, you have become one of the group. You are on the inside and as Gordon Gecko said in Wall Street. You are either on the inside or you are outside.

    Also they watered the ceremony down. They used to speak Adamic. The language of Adam when they called upon God. In another 50 years they probably will just wear T-Shirts and eat cookies and punch. It's getting watered down folks. It used to be weirder.

    Under all them temple clothes is the holy under garments. Yes indeed. Like a super hero with the priesthood robe on you are ready for action! You got your signs and tokens and have all the keys to open the door to where God dwells and you become a god yourself. Owwwwwwwwww! Screw the rolex. You can make universes and planets. You can have as many women as you want. You can make as many Rolex's as you want. Mormons think BIG!

    Unless I get a 36mm rollie with a fluted bezel then I don't care. Universes and womarns are great. But when I'm making planets I want to be sure there's a rollie on my wrist.

    I can relate to Mr. Geddy Lee on this. Growing up in a strict religion kinds of makes you want to go the other way.

    Ah but everyone is supposed to be equal in the temple. You remove your bling and go in real humble. In the temple Mitt Romney or John Huntsman are no more important than a poor person from Guatemala. It's not really a show off your bling kind of place.

    A Chinese friend of mine is Methodist. I go to the big fundraising diner he puts on for the great chinese food. In Salt Lake I used to go to the Greek Orthodox church. They threw a killer Greek festival every year.

    Well here's the deal. They take this temple business quite seriously. Before you make any commitments they explain everything in detail to you. They are real thorough. Endowment is a legal term. Basically you go into the ceremony and make certain commitments to God and if you honor those commitments you become a god yourself. There's a male/female part to godhood so you have to be sealed to a member of the opposite sex in the temple to get the big pay off which is godhood. Once a god I'm sure you can have as big of a dick as you want. I mean talk about a payoff here. Most religions offer entrance to heaven. In the Mormon church you become a god. Oh it's a lot of commitment. You lose a lot of freedom in this life but boy howdy! damn! The payoff is the mother load times a thousand!

    I think successful religions have a lot of hocus pocus, traditions, and symbolisms. You just have to have some funny hats. It's a must! You get the members so lost in the hocus pocus and they are so busy trying to get through the maze you made that they don't have time to figure out it's all bullshit.

    That sign at the Bohemian Grove is the name of a famous pirate. Them oligarchs must see themselves as pirates. Wherever there are Bush's there are boneheads. A guy who was hired to work there said there are skull and bone symbolism all over the grove. The same with skull and bones. All clearly based on germantic death cults and of course that is what the Nazis were tied into.

    Now here's some conspiracy food for thought. Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead attends Bohemian Grove. Now was the Grateful Dead a CIA operation? Was Ken Kesey an operative or being used? Skulls, Bones, and roses. Roses are a roisicrucian symbolism. Then you have Hunter penning lyrics like "Here I am. Uncle Sam. Hiding out in a rock and roll band."

    Was Hunter working with the Stanford Research Institute and using The Grateful Dead to string people out on LSD? The band could have been used along with the whole Acid Test thing without the participants knowing.

    Let's face it. There was an anti-establishment revolution in the 1960's. Why it failed was the revolutionaries got strung out on drugs. Could the CIA have been behind it all and the skull, bones, roses, and egyptian symbolism the illuminati flipping everyone the bird? Think about it?



    Me thinks all them hippies have been had in hindsight. I wonder if Bob is friends with the Bush family? Did the Bush family run a so called opium war on the hippies? LOL!

    When I was at a masterclass with Jack Casady he mentioned when the Jefferson Airplane started everyone was just playing clubs in San Francisco. To promote your gig at the clubs you rented a flat bed truck and did free concerts in Golden Gate Park. He said these free concerts became really popular and everything in Haight Ashbury was great until 1967. He said people from Berkley came in and made the whole scene political. He said they were aggressive and had an agenda and took over. Who was running this group out of Berkley?

    Goddamn it, don't ruin the Grateful Dead for me by tying them to the BCE. It's bad enough that Stewart Copeland's dad worked for them

Nice enough people, but I think I was the only person there who was between the ages of 10 and 60, so despite the easy walking distance, if I were church shopping it probably wouldn't be at the top of my list.

    They weren't serving tea & biscuits oddly enough. They have a "multicultural" congregation, so they were cooking up hot dogs, egg rolls, and taquitos. Tragically, all they had to wash it down with was lemonade. They could have busted out the communion wine, maybe?

There's a male/female part to godhood so you have to be sealed to a member of the opposite sex in the temple to get the big pay off which is godhood. Once a god I'm sure you can have as big of a dick as you want. I mean talk about a payoff here. Most religions offer entrance to heaven. In the Mormon church you become a god. Oh it's a lot of commitment. You lose a lot of freedom in this life but boy howdy! damn! The payoff is the mother load times a thousand!

    Ever heard of the King James version of the bible? The Mormons use that version. They might interpret it differently but they do have the bible.

    Miles Copeland Sr. not only worked for daddy Bush. He said he was the best director of the CIA ever.

    The mother load is becoming a god. See the baptists just believe in being saved and entering heaven. That's pretty boring. Mormons believe you become a god and create your own universe. They believe Jesus created the earth and then came down in the flesh to save his creation. So we are living on Jesus' planet and in Jesus' universe right now and he reigns supreme. He's the big mentor. Yeah he opened the way to salvation but there's more. He's going to show you how to do miracles yourself and become a god yourself so you can make planets like Jesus did. That's the mother load and to get it means you have to do everything the Mormon leaders tell you to do. LOL!

    So there is this glorious payoff but you have to die to get it.

    In a way, religion is like buying lottery tickets. People send money to this organization that promises a big pay off. The thing is, Lotteries can offer more proof people really do get paid.
