and maybe someone posted this question and I missed it, but what's the point of practicing polygamy if obtaining your own planet is not doctrinal? Man, the church sure back peddles, changes, flips ideas, and out right lies. I thought practicing polygamy was to populate your own planet? That's what I was taught anyway...

We have always been at war with Eastasia.
That's probably why they're now back-peddling on the "man becoming a god" thing too.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

"..and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever."
You see where it says "a continuation of the seeds forever and ever." ? Well, it doesn't really say that. You only think it says that. You need to read it with your "spiritual eyes", not your "natural eyes". The problem here is with you. You're not reading this properly. Try not to be such a problem in the future, unless you want extra bathroom cleaning duty.

Bruce R. McConkie, The Millennial Messiah, p.708:
Of those who enter the Lord's order of matrimony and who keep their covenants ..., the Lord says: "They shall pass by the angels, and the gods, ...to their exaltation and glory in all things, ...which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever." That is to say, eternal life consists of two things: (1) the continuation of the family unit in eternity, which means a continuation of the seeds or the everlasting begetting of children; and (2) the receipt of the fulness of the glory of the Father, which is all power in heaven and on earth.’

Today's message from the Ministry of Truth:
"Polygamy is long in the past. Only a small percentage of the church practiced it. We don't know why God commanded it, but we no longer follow that practice. Anyone today will be excommunicated for it."
Future message from the Ministry of Truth:
"Members of the COJCOLDS Church have never practiced or allowed polygamy. While some groups that have apostatized began (and continue) the practice, the COJCOLDS has never practiced, allowed, or condoned polygamy. Anything to the contrary about members of the COJCOLDS having ever practiced polygamy are merely folklore, hearsay, and untrue rumors."
