that's good....however, i'd like to know why they used to be there before. i want an answer to this question....i know its not comfortable, but i want to know.

Hi, i am a new member of just a few months. i have had a couple of beautiful opportunities to do baptisms in my local Temple- wonderful experiences!! recently, i have found out that the Endowment has changed in the last year or so and that previous to the latest changes, it was changed prior to 1990. The 1990 included "death penalties", which frankly, scared me and traumatized me when i found this out. i have been having nightmares. i have past domestic violence and other abuse issues and the idea of anything related to violence in the Temple...well, i am just totally confused as to why something like this would be there. were these penalties removed b/c members objected? i mean no disrespect at all. i am just really scared and don't know what to expect. i don't know who to talk to and am seeking answers. i am feeling overwhelmed. thanks. Pressing Forward....mostly with faith, sometimes with a little fear!
