Summary
Join Mike and John as they discuss Mormonism’s early connection with Masonry through Joseph Smith and the unique problems it creates for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to grapple with today.
Covered topics include the timeline of Joseph becoming a Master Mason before introducing the similarly-themed rituals of the Temple Endowment Ceremony, why many members and apologists claim Masonry to be of ancient origin despite evidence to the contrary, the many parallels between the secret rituals of both organizations, and whether or the Temple Endowment involved false doctrines.

| 0:12.4 | with Mike of LDS Discussions whose content can be found at LDS Discussions.com. Today's episode |
| 0:19.3 | is the connection between the Mormon or the LDS Church Temple ceremony and Masonry or the |
| 0:25.5 | Masonic Lodge. For those of you who are just joining us for the first time, we are about 24 |
| 0:31.4 | or 25 episodes into an amazing series where we discuss essays written by my friend Mike at again |
| 0:38.2 | the website LDS Discussions.com and the focus is all around examining Mormon Church truth claims |

| 1:51.2 | these are all available in a sequence wherever you get your podcasts. And I'll also say that sometimes |
| 1:56.7 | we have intros that are a little bit longer at least in YouTube format. If you go to YouTube and if |
| 2:01.9 | you pay for the premium account, especially but even if you don't in the description, we have time |
