For those of you that don't follow my personal blog,
I posted some information about the HBO show Big Love and an upcoming story line about rituals of the LDS temples. Warning: there are spoilers for this season, so be fair warned.
Details of how this particular rite is performed, by whom, etc. etc. abound for those that want to learn more about the LDS temples and their ceremonies.
There is some further discussion about LDS dogma in comments, as well.
