I received an email forward with information about this and here is what I sent as a "reply to all": I wanted to share with all of you my thoughts about the issue. This email that is going around has attached and linked depictions of the very pictures that we find sacred. By viewing and forwarding those things we allow sacrilegious images into our homes and help circulate and advertise for the very thing we're fighting against. "Big Love" has been on the air since 2006 and the church made a statement at that time about it. I would encourage you to file a complaint with HBO but be aware that they already know that much of the material they broadcast is offensive and it is very unlikely that the show will not air. If we succeed in being heard it will take time. The church has now made an official statement about the current matter. If you would like to forward something onto others please forward the link to file a complaint with HBO and the link to the official church statement. Please at least stop spreading the links to and attachments of the sacrilegious images and pdfs. Here is an example of an email you might want to send to your contacts and friends instead: "Dear friends, HBO is planning to depict what they understand to be sacred temple ceremonies in the show called 'Big Love'. Please respectfully stand up against this by letting HBO know you find this offensive and do not support the public broadcast of sacred things. Click here to view the official statement by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints concerning the matter. Send this on to people who will stand with us on the issue. Sincerely, So and So"
