> choose our own form of worship. Make no mistake, Mormonism
> and much of it's dogma and doctrine and practice IS NOT
> Christian, but those who choose to worship in this manner

> To read more on this topic, the above information was taken

> There have been changes in this ceremony, this would

> made aware of these changes. The Mormon leadership has
> attempted to keep this secret. All of the changes have
> been documented in this book. To order:
> Utah Lighthouse Ministry
> 1350 South West Temple
> Salt Lake City, Utah 84115
> Later, these changes will be
> posted. May the light of our Lord Jesus Christ bless you
