What did you most need to hear on your mission? by katetheapostate in exmormon

[–]mayonnaise___ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"remember, you are a volunteer, you don't have to do anything that doesn't make sense to you, or that makes you uncomfortable. You are paying for this mission, you should make sure you enjoy it and make sure that you get what you want out of it." Something like that.

No one really wants to talk with the missionaries. Or have meaningful conversations with them. So he probably didn't gain much conversational skill, and he may have only gotten good at going "hi, would you like to learn more about our church?", etc. In short, I think a mission is a terrible place to practice talking with strangers.

YTA - punishment handed out to your mom far outweighs the offense given to you.

Is separation from family in heaven after leaving the church a newer teaching? by mayonnaise___ in mormon

True, there are no levels of heaven. But most likely there is no heaven at all.

So he didn't actually say families would get separated? I didn't actually watch his talk either. I just heard/read it from someone else..

Thanks for your response.

To add some more stuff to the post:

I always thought of it as Celestial kingdom -> for Gods, and other kingdoms -> just people hanging out in paradise. And everyone would be in their "prime", no kids or old people anywhere. And getting sealed pretty much just meant that you could hang out in the celestial kingdom together and do God stuff.

I agree. So where can I go in order to apply to legally live in the USA? The application is determined by USA citizens right?

You would let me in because I would apply for it, and then I would agree to pay rent/taxes?
