Kay. Umm, I'm a Mormon. Skimming this thread, I don't think there has been any Mormons visit yet, so I'd like to pop in.

Re: Accuracy??????
Actually, the Book of Mormon has not changed one bit.

schraf, it's not about secrecy. It's about sanctity. There is an area of the temple that only specific people can be in. I can't say much about this as:
1) It's a sacred subject that isn't discussed outside of the temple
2) I haven't been through the entire temple, (just the baptistry) so I can't really say.
If it makes you feel better, I've been excluded from weddings too. It's hard to understand, but trust me, we encourage family ties, even out of the Church.

Re: Reply Button
Okay thanks. I hadn't used my account for awhile, and I'd forgotten some of the features.

We didn't make the rule. God did. There are certain things that you must obtain before you may enter the sealing rooms, among these is the endowment, something that only baptised individuals may receive. I'm sure the daughter worked it out with her parents. I know my dad did, as he was a convert and my paternal grandparents did not attend my parents' wedding.

It just so happens that if we didn't change those rules, we would be breaking another rule: "We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and majestrates in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law."
Polygamy was also because there wasn't a need for it anymore, so it became a sin again.

If it is naivety, yes. However, I think that it isn't.
I can't answer questions that only God knows the answers to schrafinator. So, I'm not evading the question, I simply cannot answer it, and neither can anyone else on earth.
It became a sin because
1) Disobeying the government is a sin...so yes.
2) Mormon mobs were beginning to die down, which is the soul of Mormon polygamy
