A Mormon reference?
It is part of Mormon temple rituals. They don't phrase it like that but it's what they are doing. Luckily I got out before I participated in any of that.
I'm curious. The temple has 4 rituals
Mormons dance around temple and associated rituals being sacred, not secret, so the command to not cast pearls before swine applies; but certain promises are not to share signals that show you made the extra promises, so just to be sure, mormons treat it all temple info as secret unless they actually thought about the words of the rituals.
I have been able to talk to Mormons outside of temples in pretty deep detail because I was respectful (not mocking).
Please be specific, what part seems to pantomime suicide? I'm thinking baptism on behalf of ancestors?
Shrug

I learned something today about something removed 35 years ago.
Planning my additional research, for someone alive to have gone to the temple and have done these, they would have to be at least 55ish. I'll try to find someone to talk about it.
I would encourage you not to write out the word “shrug” in your comments.
If you’re mormon you have definitely pantomimized it before.
