I have serious doubt to how important it is to my salvation. I just feel my time and energy would be better spent on things I feel are more important.

Much of the endowment is already in the scriptures; it is like hearing a Cliffs Notes version.
For example: And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place... -Isaiah 22:23 |

I think a Catholic mass is weird. I think contemporary evangelical christian worship with the rock music and raising arms and dancing is weird.

I felt gettting 5 seconds to consider the covenant made it less important than it should have been.
I've spent more time in my life reading spam from Nigeria than I had time to consider those covenants during my endowment before I said yes. Covenants not carefully considered are covenants that are not very important. |

I'm glad you had a good experience, BDB.

go to the temple a few times.....then go for a few years........then let me know if you wished the ceremony would slow down a little. The pace is already extremely slow, which is why you will see people falling asleep sometimes. You will pick up on the basics after even a few visits. And you will be glad that it is not even more slow. The cool thing about the temple is that you can just go back over and over again and focus on small portions of it. I always seem to notice something new when I go. For example......next time everyone goes, please note how prominently a COUGAR is featured in one shot during the garden sequence. There is one brief, beautiful shot in which a peaceful, law-abiding, virile cougar is shown lying down without any ire. Then tell me exactly how many Utes are given screen time? Answer: zero. Take THAT, suckas!
