I keep hearing that phrase outer darkness,

If there is outer darkness I wonder if there's inner darkness. I think I've seen it in most of the morg members that I've met. I think I prefer the outer darkness. When I was trying to find truth in the mormon church, I felt like I was trying to find a black cat in a dark closet. So much for darkness.

Outer Darkness is where the Sons of Perdition will be cast. Those wishing to audition for "Sons" should report to Outer Darkness. Please bring a brief resume, photo and visa, if applicable. Sorry, resumes and photos will not be returned.

Is there a role for a black cat in a dark closet?

The role of a black cat in a dark closet is to hide those things no one in power wants you to know. The only way to catch the cat is to follow it's shit, but each time you find some shit the cat has already moved again...Kind on like finding true mormon doctrine. It keeps moving even after you find shit.

I thought I already had the audition

I'll be in outer darkness with plenty of people I know.....having a party!! They never said outer darkness didn't have strobe lights and loud music with an open bar! I can make this up as I go too (just like the LDS church). :)

Mormon women are denied even the prospect of outer darkness - nobody ever heard of a daughter of perdition...

Re: I keep hearing that phrase outer darkness,

I wondered about women being sons of perdition a few months back and I asked my bishop and he said as far as he knows the LDS believe that women can be "equal opportunity perditionizers". I found his answer to be quite amusing in it's own way, but he is a very different kind of bishop to begin with.

I always heard that, since women don't hold the priesthood, we don't have complete enough knowledge or understanding to truly deny the spirit. Or some such nonsense.

Re: I keep hearing that phrase outer darkness,

I haven;t heard that term "outer darkness" outside Mormonism but I suspect it comes from the ideas that God is light and only darkness exists where he is not present. In the Exodus story God's presence with Israel was demonstrated by a pillar of fire.
