Kyle says I've heard from another xlds that there are a ton of explicitly Masonic rituals and imagery involved in the temple is this true or is this conspiracy theory nonsense this is absolutely 100 True wow so um Joseph Smith at some point around the time he was a navu was initiated into the Freemasonry and he Advanced pretty quickly through the ranks and he writes in one of his journals that he was he was inducted in into the ranks of Freemasonry and became a Master Mason and so the what happens within the freemasonic lodge is mirrored
really closely to what the LDS church is doing not not necessarily in the baptism for the dead but the other part of what takes place in the temple which is called the endowment and the endowment is this initiation into the secret origins of the creation of the world and what happened in the garden and what transpired between Adam and Eve and Lucifer and God and part of this there are secret tokens and signs that are given which is exactly what takes place within the Masonic Lodge so there are there are handshakes there are new names
and passwords given and so for the LDS person these things um I'm just thinking now that maybe I don't want to continue on this vein offend somebody um because I mean that this is held as as pretty sacred among the LDS people so okay in short and sorry for that to derail but in short yes the connection between Freemasonry and the LDS temple rituals is very very close and where it came from was Freemasonry because Joseph Smith had been initiated into it and historically chronologically the temple ceremony came post wow his induction into Freemasonry so
