Went to the New Temple TV show recently. My thoughts:
1) Biggest change is the disclosure of what covenants people are making before they 'decide to do this with their free will". This is lawyers getting rid of the previous unilateral contract method that had you decide you start before you knew what was going in. I'm 174% sure a lawyer at some law firm like Farton McDonkey cleared this.
2) you can now do Loud Laughter without breaking a temple Covenant.
3) The live officiater is removed, and it is all video now. Very deceptive Brain Training as they say follow God's instruction, and then the voice of God says raise your arm to the square and Covenant. This is on purpose.
4) When Peter,, James, and John are sent down, they are called Apostles (and not disciples) of Christ. More mormon-words brain washing.
5) They added a bit of the premarital existence. Satan gets banished for just one sentence of" hey, let's save everybody". God rebukes him to utter darkness with a calm voice. Very odd depiction. Later, they call it the gospel if Jesus Christ several times. I thought it was God's gospel? Satan got banished because he wanted his own plan, not God's. Now Jesus gets the gospel named after him? Whatever.
6) Women aren't going to like me saying this, but the morg is pandering to you. Eve's dialog delivered dramatically and slowly, while Adam is mostly deadpan. Eve appears to be the Smart One is eating the apple. Eve doesn't commit to serving Adam or God like in previous movies. Eve ignores Adam when the 3 apostles show up. Peter shaking Eve's hand and she looks solefully into his eyes a he says "we will probably visit you again". Eve getting last word in at the river Bank. The Veil demonstration with Eve going thru the Veil, and a long still shot of her lit up face seeing the presence of the Lord in the celestial room.
Look, I've been married over 25 years, and love my wife, and respect women. However, LDS Inc is aiming to keep you in the Company with straight up pandering. Do with it what you want, but don't blame me as the messenger.
7) new program is a slow pace of 90 minutes. The previous one was about 75 minutes. Get ready to doze off.
8) Temple put scanners at front desk, you scan your own recommend. Seems like they don't want anyone touching anything. No more handshakes in the endowment, it is all shown on the screen. Only time you touch is during True Order of Prayer., and going thru Veil.
9) it seems like the endowment changes every 3 or 4 years or so. Wonder why "God" keeps editing things in such a short time frame? Maybe because there are many that will preach the philosophies of men.. mingled with scripture.
10) 1.5 stars out of five. Not worth the entry fee.
