Torrent: 3 MP3s of the Mormon Temple Endowment Ceremony

I just created a new bittorrent file for downloading three different versions of the secret endowment ceremony performed in Mormon temples. According to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this ceremony is sacred. You can’t help but wonder how “sacred” it is when it is constantly changing… The audio quality is poor due to the difficulty of secretly recording a secret ceremony.

If you download this please seed so others can download too!

Please beware of inappropriate ads on the bittorrent index site. I strongly recommend using an ad-blocker or downloading the torrent file directly through the second link below:

You know you found a Mormon book when…

… Adam-ondi- Ahman is this large on the tag cloud. The book is here if you were curious.

For the record Adam-ondi-Ahman is a place in Daviess County, Missouri that Joseph Smith named and taught his followers was near the Garden of Eden (link). Yet another indication that Joseph Smith was not a prophet of God as a true prophet (or anyone familiar with geography) would know the garden of Eden was located somewhere along the Fertile Crescent (See Gen. 2:10-14).

By my best estimate, and with the help of Google Maps, the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers (modern day Iraq) are located approximately 6,748 miles from Missouri. The question I pose to my readers is who do you trust more, Joseph Smith Jr. or Genesis 2:10-14? Before you answer, look at a map:

Secret mp3 Recording of the LDS Endowment Ceremony

Ex-Mormon Sandra Tanner displays the endowment ceremony clothing, 4/15/2004

I was sent this link that lets you download an mp3 of the most recent version of the ever changing (yet divinely ordered) Mormon endowment ceremony. The sound quality varies at times, but you have to expect such things from secret recordings.

Christians, don’t miss this. Mormons leave Mormonism. Not just those on the edges of their belief system, but also ones who are temple worthy. The fact that this recording was made and published online is evidence of that. And this is certainly not the first time a recording of the endowment ceremony has leaked (I believe this is the 3rd one I’ve come across).

Well pass it along to whoever might be interested.
