This is Getting Out of Hand

My friend Heather just posted this and I was shocked to see the audacity of some people just trying to make a buck.

Matt and I downloaded the .pdf of the TV Guide and on March 14th HBO is scheduled to air an episode of Big Love that depicts the temple ceremony, the temple clothing, etc etc. You can download your copy at:

http://www.tvguidemagsales.com/WeeklyIssues/TVG030909.pdf . . . .it's on page 48 of the pdf or page 46 of the TV Guide. The show's consultants actually hired an excommunicated member to help them in replicating the temple rooms, clothing, and ceremonies. This episode will be airing on Sunday March 15, 2009 on HBO.

I recommend complaining to both HBO and the FCC:

HBO is owned by Time Warner:
Time Warner Inc.One Time Warner Center
New York, NY10019-8016212.484.8000

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.

Thanks again Heather!
