My sister in law Jen sent me this information today, and I'm really glad she did. I would never disrespect someone's beliefs and I don't want mine made fun of either.
Here is the info:
Next Sunday March 15th the HBO show Big Love is showing a temple ceremony on national television. I checked it out and it's true, even on the TV Guide the picture shows a girl in complete temple clothing. This is pretty appalling: They hired an ex-member to help create the ceremony, rooms, and clothing. I know you are probably feeling sick to your stomach as I was, but let's do something about it.
Tatum gave me this important link to the church website. Here is what the church is saying about this mess.

Please send a message to HBO asking them not to air the show by clicking on the link below.

Thank you for letting me know I wrote to them already. That makes me so mad.
Sad isn't it? I am endlessly frustrated at how the media mis-represents the LDS church and tramples on what we hold sacred. Unfortunately it seems to be a recurring theme since oh, 1830ish?
After reading your post, I checked the Church website to see if there were any comments on the issue. I found this article which helped put things into perspective a bit for me. Maybe you've already read this? Here is the link http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/the-publicity-dilemma
Anyway, I admire you using your voice to defend what you believe and hold sacred.
I loved the article on the church website! Everyone should read it. Thanks Bethany, for the HBO information! Hopefully it won't happen this time!
Someone's going to hell.
Thank you for the links and letting us know about this! I clicked on the links and sent complaints. Sad what this world is coming to.
I agree with Dory. At least I won't be the one burning. Thanks Beth for passing the word along. :)
Big Love is Big Lame!
