Sorry about that--I do remember reading that I just didn't realize it was from the same source.

I was wondering though if it would be possible to get a copy of the email that you sent him earlier in the thread? I would be real interested in looking at that if you don't mind.

Gaucho: Just a note on the link for the First Presidency letter regarding the alters--I got through to the link but not the actual letter. I did some searches but could not find it that way either. I have noticed that when the topic is an older one that theres a greater chance the link will not be available any longer. Did you by chance save it?

Thanks!

Sorry. Did I respond to your request AlaskanLDS? I think at the time this Thread started on the Public Board, but since we all here are covered I will just upload the image here.

That really is awesome-Thanks! Did he explain more about the other symbols and figures? I am trying to learn about these as I find them fascinating.

Did who explain more about the other symbols and figures? Next to those symbols within the facsimile are corresponding footnotes and keys to a basic interpretation.

Sorry JB--I was referring to your mission companion. I have read the footnotes and am in the process of re-reading them with some new light. I was just curious if he brought any other insights.

He did not tell me more than pointing to the symbols and then what the footnotes said about those symbols. However that taught me a few things:

1. The scriptures really do reveal all, in fact I have marked many instances in the scriptures that reveal the endowment teachings.

2. You have to read everything, it is there for a reason (footnotes and all), and so often we tend to ignore what may seem trivial, that's why I never noticed it before and I was a missionary at the time reading the scriptures everyday!

Lastly, every part of the endowment is a teaching, many parts of it are not available, but had it been there today I wonder if we would have all the troubles we see now with wayward endowed members.

Changes in the endowment ceremony have more to do with time and the number of people coming for an endowment and less about the message being transmitted which in general is the same.

SALT LAKE CITY - Many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who worshipped at an LDS temple this week saw something unexpected: a new film.

Since the 1970s, a portion of LDS temple instruction has been provided through pre-recorded media, including film. Beginning this week, a new temple film is being shown in several LDS temples. "The new temple film is the first update in more than 20 years," said church spokeswoman Ruth Todd. "There have been no changes to the script. English-language copies of the new film are being sent to temples over the next few weeks and will subsequently be translated into other languages." Ref. Source 8
