I didn't catch the "blood of the prophets" where's that? Huh?

"You and each of you do covenant and promise that you will pray and never cease to pray to Almighty God to avenge the blood of the prophets upon this nation, and that you will teach the same to your children and to your children's children unto the third and fourth generation."

It was removed in 1927. You can read about it here:

And yes. When people refer to 'temple polygamy', they're referring to the fact that men can be sealed to multiple women (although only 1 currently living).

While you're looking through this stuff, check out 'pay lay ale'.

I saw that - looked like the "Adamic lanuage" for the normal stuff I already knew about and didn't think twice about. Am I missing something?

Anyone have a link for the preacher?

Whoa - can anyone confirm that this is accurate?!

I can see why other preachers were offended.

It's accurate. I was married in 1986, and have gone through both the old and the new sessions.

Yep, the preacher, the oaths, and the infamous "shield" were all there for the first 7 years I attended the temple.

The first time kinda freaked me out a little, but I got used to it.

You know, the thin, poncho-like thingy you wore when they did the washing and anointing. It's called a shield.
