Need your help - Big Love, we are offended!

[Maya]

I been thinking of this a bit and thsi is my conclution:
It really dont matter! All we need to do is to keep on NOT talking about what we do in te Temples as we ahve promised we dont. I think we should NOT comment what ever the serie shows just say we dont talk about it outside the Temple, get yourself a Templerecommend so we can go in there to talk about it!
BUT we have the right to say where the line is, that we do NOT appriciate, that someone is making a film of OUR sacret things! Like we always have said they are sacret NOT secret! And I think we SHOULD let our voice be heard.
But what we need to understand is that it really is not secret, so IF some exmormons or such decides to drag it in daylight..... as much as they remember of it... we can feel at ease, as it is between them and God. God will do as He sees is best at every situation. Our task is to keep quiet anbout the Templeseremonies and say our opinion about the lot.
So it really is between God and the persons doing what they are not supposed to... and these guys making the film have never had any covenent with God, but we have.

They say they will do all that reverently... hmmm... sure... I just cant get that a film about a family that is not even LDS memberfamily they would show the Temple! Or was it so that they are living in a childish lie.

So after saying our opinion NO MATTER what comes, we keep low profile they, or anyone, dont need to know, if it was right or if it was wrong... we can invite them in the Church so theyn oneday can see themselves!

All things that may try to destroy will only bring more interest and more desire for people to know the truth. The fact-of-the-matter is, "No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing, persecution may rise, armies assemble but the work of God will go forth boldly nobly and independent…Until Gods work is done"

We all know part of the second coming is the greater division of wickedness and righteousness. Look how the division is occurring more and more, no matter what faith. The division is happening your either for God or against, and those that are for God are continuously being guided to the Gospel.

The Gospel is true the structure the doctrine. Unfortunately, or is it fortunate that we still struggle as individuals helping us to remain humble, meek and submissive.

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
