I can't help it, You all won't correct my misunderstanding with any evidence otherwise. One person a long time ago on this forum thought he'd give tours. I could use that one if you like. The point is, I don't think you all have a clue what will happen.
That wouldn’t be honest.I think it's about time you admit that you were never a Mormon.
With the respected positions of Abraham and King David described in the Bible. I have a hard time seeing polygamy as a perversion as homosexuality. Not that I'm as justifying polygamy and saying it's perfectly acceptable. If Abraham or King David were homosexual, there would be a different story in the Bible.
And while I agree your point is valid to Mormons in general, I've already stated that I believe eternal polygamy will be platonic.
Agreed.
I cant imagine being in more than one marriage. But if I was called to take care of other women in a platonic sort of way, then I'd do it.
Ummm...yep.
"Eat our own bread, and wear our own clothes" implies they will be self-provident. And marriage is more of a formality.
Agreed. I made that argument earlier.
Ditto.
Is that what Mormon men were “called” to do? There was nothing platonic about it.
You are the most compassionate person. This is getting tiresome. Believe what you want. I'm not trying to change your personal beliefs.It doesn't make any sense at all.
There are a lot of Christians who would disagree with you on both points.
Again, you completely misunderstand our doctrines. I find it hard to believe you were a member of the church, especially if you don't the difference between a married couple, man and woman and a married couple man and man or woman and woman, where it relates to our doctrines.
Not a problem. You don't have to. It's not a requirement for salvation or exaltation.
That's the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard. I have to wonder, based on that logic, why women don't always have twins?
No need to feel sorry for me. I have Jesus and that's all I need. I would come back with some snarky retort, but I'm really not trying to be mean. I really don't like discussing when it's with defensiveness and anger. I'm going to just say goodbye for now. Have a good day BoJ. Talk to you later! Maybe we can both relax and approach our differences with love and openness later
I can understand your thought on that I just don't think that the majority of members think some eternal marriages will be platonic. But honestly if that were the case I would consider it. But if marriage here is for making children and bringing waiting Spirits to earth then wouldn't you think it might be the same in Heaven only having spiritual babies? Not that I agree with that, just had that thought
Why even bother getting married. I mean, if the marriage is pretend, why not pretend every part of it?
Marriage is the means of being a part of the celestial order. Maybe it's the 2nd degree of the celestial kingdom.

Christ said there is no marriage after death.
And there isn't. It has to be performed here.
Not very fair for all the people in history who died without marriage. Unless you want to talk about the Mormon belief of being assigned to a spouse in the millennium, which is another repugnant idea.
No such "Mormon belief" exists. All marriages can and will be performed here on this earth or in a terrestrial world, but not in heaven. Adam and Eve, married in the garden of Eden. When the Lord has returned to rule during the Millennium, this world will be a Terrestrial world and just like we perform marriages for those who are dead, we will be performing marriages for those who have died without the opportunity to get married.
I said during the millennium. That’s here on this earth. That is mormon belief, that marriages will be performed then. In a meeting with Harold B. Lee in the temple when I was in the mission home, someone asked him what will happen to single women who can’t get into the celestial kingdom. He said they would be given to husbands during the millennium. It always reminded me of early mormon leaders who compared wives to cattle.
You said "assigned".
So, I got one right?
And, of course, that means assigned.
“Given to”... same as assigned. Herded around between owners. Stand in line, and when it’s your turn, you’re given to some man to have spirit babies forever and ever. It’s a glorious prospect mormon women have to look forward to. Or else you can become an eternal servant to those who are far more worthy because they’re married. That is what Joseph Smith said.You said "assigned".
