I am sick to my stomach...

This morning my sister e-mailed me and let me know that Big Love, a series on HBO, will be showing a sacred Temple ceremony inside of an LDS Temple, the religion that I belong to.  I am so sad that it's taking place, and I'm not going to let it happen without me taking a stand!  If you would like to, as well, here's what you can do.  I've posted my sisters e-mail so that all the links and info is there.  

On March 15, the HBO series “Big Love” will air LDS temple scenes from an endowment room, the celestial room and show the ceremonies that happen there.  This is outrageous to me that they’re doing this on television.  I am going to email HBO and the FCC later tonight.  I still expect them to air the episode but I want them to know that it’s wrong.

Also, what’s sad to me is that Tom Hanks is one of the producers for them.  I’ve always REALLY liked Tom Hanks but I don’t think that I’ll be able to watch any of his stuff anymore.

 

Below is info that was forwarded to me on who to contact:

HBO is owned by Time Warner:
Time Warner Inc.
One Time Warner Center
New York , NY10019-8016
212.484.8000

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.

To My Beloved Readers...

I am so sorry that I haven't blogged in awhile.  Unfortunately my computer has the flu and it passed it on to my camera and my scanner.  It's a bummer, I know.   So until I get rich and Jesus decides to by me a Mac, I won't be blogging as often.  I like to show my cute kids in all of my blogs and when I can't do that I get depressed.:)  They're just too darn cute!

So, my fellow friends, I'm sure this blogging thing will start back up in a month, or so.  No, I won't be rich by then, but maybe I can get Jesus to understand how essential a mac is.:)
