This is Appalling! Let's do something about it!

Today I received an email that hit a few nerves. I know I sent it as an email to some of you but for those of you I don't have an email for I will share this through this post. On HBO on Sunday March 15 they will be showing a Mock Temple ceremony on the show Big Love. This show is about polygamy. Anyways this show will be showing the Celestial Room, and a few other rooms that are very sacred to those of us who have been sealed in the temple or who do endowments. There are a few websites that I want you all to look up. This is serious. If you get the TV Guide you will find and very sacred picture of a woman in her temple clothing. HBO hired a excommunicated member of the church to help with the rooms, clothing and even the convenants we make in the temple. Please spead the word and stand up for what you believe. There is a picture that is on the TV Guide magazine that I do not think needs to be passed around, but it is a woman in her sacred temple clothing. This is out for everyone to see!

Please consider writing to HBO. I just did.

This is pretty appalling: On Sunday March 15th, the HBO how Big Love is showing an episode containing an excommunication as well as temple ceremonies. They hired an ex-member to help create the ceremony, rooms, and clothing. HBO is owned by Time Warner. Send your emails, snail mails, phone calls, to both companies to show HBO that we won't stand for the use of things we consider sacred on their show Big Love, which is using a replica of an endowment room and celestial room to show what happens in the ceremonies there! Just keep it within Church standards please!

This link allows you to respond and specifically shows "Big Love" as the subject instead of "General Information".http://www.hbo.com/apps/submitinfo/contactus/submit.do?title=Big%20Love&questiontype=biglove

If you would like to protest, I recommend complaining to both HBO and the FCC:

Here are two things your want to RESPECTFULLY say in your own words to HBO:

-I believe it is wrong for HBO to publicly air portions of sacred ceremonies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints without permission from the church and based on information given you by someone who has left the church and may harbor bad feelings toward the church and wish to do it harm.

AND THE BIG ONE THAT WILL ALWAYS GET THEIR ATTENTION:- If you air such an episode, I will cancel my subscription to all HBO channels (if you have them), and will not purchase HBO DVDs or any other HBO entertainment products or packages ever again. Furthermore, I will encourage my friends and associates to do likewise.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO:The FCC is the government agency that regulates all broadcast and cable television. File a complaint expressing your shock and dismay at HBO treating the sacred ceremonies of any religion with such mockery and disregard, and that it is shoddy work hiring excommunicated members/enemies of church and giving them a public pulpit to hurt the church.

To File a complaint with the FCC go to:http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

-Choose "Broadcast (TV and Radio), Cable, and Satellite Issues" and then click "NEXT."

-Choose "Broadcast programs showing obscene, profane, and/or indecent material" then click "NEXT."

- Click on "ONLINE FORM" Fill out the form with your complaint and submit.

PLEASE STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE!!!!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has also commented on this very beautifully and respectfully! Please read!
