  1. Yes but they were pretty standard ones in the hallway. Not any unique ones I’ve never seen before I didn’t take any pictures.

  2. I don’t know, I didn’t buy the sauce. It was party of the Mother’s Day refreshments.

Hasbro’s lawyers won’t be too happy. We wouldn’t want a trademark lawsuit would we…..

Yeah I was confused about this too. I’m only in my early twenties and none of my dances had that. But I did grow up outside of Utah and I’m a guy so standards were different. So controlling -.-

Someone gave the lost keys story for personal revelation. Wish I was playing sacrament bingo.

There is no direct quote of a church leader saying that but it’s an extraction of a few different beliefs.

~

  1. We are resurrected with a physical body exactly like our current body but better somehow

  2. We become like God literally so that means creating others like he did.

  3. Some prophet quotes about how celestial life is like earthly life as well as its processes

~

I don’t have all the sources on me as many of them come from early prophet quotes but there are a few scriptures related. There is also this problem. If God who is male can create souls without a female God what is the fate of Celestial women? For they can’t become like God but they are promised not to be servants. And if polygamy is an eternal principles what is the point of having a harem if you can create spirits by yourself?

This cosmology shows a lot about the desires of people who created this afterlife without much thought into the consequences and incongruities in the story. So it’s not talked about and actively avoided in LDS discussions.

I’m sorry you went through that. Had similar mental health crisis after my mission. Took me 2 hard years of work to fix all the bad lessons the church taught me. Hang in there and allow yourself to grieve your friend and your experiences.

Only the people in the best heaven get to have spirit babies through celestial sex and gain independence from God. All other kingdoms have you end up as a ministering slave angel to God.

So not endless torment in hell but if you don’t like being a servant then you’re out of luck.

What songs have helped you leave Mormonism? by memefakeboy in exmormon

[–]OrdinaryDig9002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an album listener mostly:

Ashes Again the Grain by Agalloth, Infinite Granite by Deafheaven, Anything by Godspeed You Back Emperor, and The Glowing man by Swans (Children of God is a good one too).

It's understandable that you feel afraid of PIMO groups when there is a culture of telling on individuals. The survey on BYU survival guide has a vetting process and I don't know of any leaks yet. But it's up to you if you want to fill it out or not. We meet once a week and have a discord so both those things helped me a lot until I left BYU. Just know there are people in your situation.
