I watched the video, a friend of mine sent it to me.
Was the "Oath to Vengence" a actually real thing?... I smelt BS on that one. It seemed way too incendiary. Its clear the aim of the video was to discredit Romney.
Now I myself am Democratic but I don't enjoy these religious character assassinations. They're pointless... there's already way too much to attack the (Republican) ideology on. ...in my opinion. Its the type of stuff I would expect from the other party, frankly.

hahahahahah. Good stuff.
No it is not against the board rules. Does not change that it was a rude and inconsiderate to many of the posters here.
Being legally right does not mean you are morally right.
Didn't watch the video but there is no Oath of Vengence in Mormonism.
Well, I expected that it would be taken down. Because in the end, admins/mods can do whatever they like with content on their website.
Would I have gotten an infraction if I had just described the content of the video? (probably bad grammar)
I'm guessing we have a language issue here, and that you're really not THAT big of a douche bag. Right? It has been made clear, by many posters -- including at least one moderator, that posting the video would be extremely offensive, and that they would edit it. You must have read that, since you "expected that it would be taken down", and still posted it. And now you're asking if you'll get in trouble if you just describe the content? Seriously, sir? We can all be dicks to each other on this site, we can poke fun, toss insults, and flame away, but there are certain places you just don't go. You don't go after someone's religion, their wife, or their kids.
Stop being a prick.

What's morally wrong with curiosity?
What's the difference between the video being readily available on the internet or it getting posted on a general discussion forum that normally can have honest discussions on religion?

Typical trout. He will offend everybody else in the world about anything but once he gets attacked, its incredibly personal and
Uncalled for. Prick.
Spare me that load of crap. Curiosity is him watching the video. Fair enough. Curiosity had nothing to do with him posting it on an online forum. Especially when he knows it is a dickish move and will offend several posters.
The issue as I see it is posting it on a forum with a lot of Mormons who would be deeply offended by it. Sharing it on a regular forum where people expressed interest or curiosity would not be a big deal, and it is perfectly within acceptable moral bounds as the contents do not cause any direct harm. It is a matter of courtesy given the nature of the people who frequent these forums. Not because it is a sacred thing that shouldn't be touched. Just my opinion.
Typical pickle. Prick.

Who says we threaten to kill Legatus and then swing by the German embassy to kill some innocent civilians?

Its like Isaac Hayes (Chef) [RIP] quitting South Park only after they mocked Scientology... but not before they had systematically mocked pretty much everything and everyone else out there. Everything's fair game but what you're sensitive to... right

The claim in the video was that it was discontinued during marriage ceremonies about 50 years ago, or something. So any geezer Mormon's here want to set the record straight? I'm actually serious. It kind of pissed me off on principle because the claim seemed like such a blatant lie.
I said the same things about that stupid innocence of Islam video and I'm not Muslim. So no you're not right. Good try though.
My understanding is that the Mormon Temple Ceremony is an adaptation from the Freemasons. Joseph Smith joined the Freemasons and shortly thereafter implemented the Endowment ceremony.

I've even heard theories that Joseph Smith was killed by Freemasons, or that Freemasons incited the mob that killed Joseph Smith, because he essentially shared the secret ceremony with all of his religious followers.

So you objected to that video being posted here? I'm not being facetious i'm sincerely asking.
Would you object to Scientogist ceremonies being revealed too? Or only religions you decide you respect. It just seems like an arbitrary line to draw. And to act like its morally apprehensible to share the video seems like strange ground to stand on.
The advocate of the trolls! ... and the sanctimonious. Why not let other people reach their own decisions.
But really I have no beef with you. Do not want to start a flame war, that's for sure
