Day 20 approved and waiting for our baby through the miracle of adoption

As probably all of you know, I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In our church, those who live their lives in accordance with our standards have the opportunity to participate in ceremonies in our temples which we hold most sacred. Today I found out that on Sunday March 15th, the HBO show Big Love is showing an episode that explicitly exhibits these most sacred parts of my religion. I am extremely offended.

I found this article addressing this topic on the Newsroom Web site of our Church. I thought you all might find it interesting. Click on the link below to view:

If you are like me and wish to voice your concern, follow the link below. It will take you to the HBO website where you can file a complaint. I feel that the more people that let them know how offensive this is, the more likely they are to hear.

If you write, here are two things you'll 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's treatment of 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.
