 The Watchman Expositor: Is the Mormon Temple Ceremony Secret or Sacred?
First, the men and women are separated and go to their respective dressing areas where they remove their clothing and place over their heads a white sheet open on both sides with a hole for the head in the center.

Instead it is secret -- closed to even most Mormons where its occultic roots and anti-Christian doctrines can remain hidden.

Just try to follow this link to Google's October 25-27 conference with a guest list that includes representatives from the New York Times, the New Yorker, well-known tech-bloggers, and major corporation executives (and perhaps the extra-terrestrials that run this whole show), and you'll find a sore reminder that you're not in the loop.
But all 400 bloggers, reporters, and guests are invited on one condition: they have to promise to zip their lips (er, mitten their fingers).
Which basically means, this article and others you read on the topic can tell you nothing other than there's a secret meeting planned for October and nobody's allowed to talk about it.
