My Mom Discloses Secret Mormon Temple Rituals

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormon Church), has long been known for their secret temple rituals that only the worthy saints can participate in. Shelise grew up in this mainstream Mormon Church, learning that going to the temple was the ultimate goal, that if she could only be worthy enough, she might even get to see Jesus himself walking the halls. The picture that is painted to it’s members (because NOTHING is disclosed ahead of time) is vastly different than what actually happens when you finally get to go. Shelise’s mom Lisa, describes the ultra secret temple rituals that happen inside the tall, castle-like walls.
