I agree with you. It's wrong for me too. The hardest part for me is I can barely even bring this stuff up with my own TBM Dh. I am ruining his eternal life plan because I can't get over this stuff. I feel trapped "

Sounds like she is struggling with her Plan of Slave-ation. The perfect eternal crystalline spheres of Kolob are coming crashing down around her and she is bringing the Bull into God's China Shop (of Horrors.)

Poor woman. I can't imagine how this kind of cognitive dissonance can be lived with. Does Michael Ash's "Shaken Faith Syndrome" book help?

Find a good church that was bible based

Do a lot of fishing

Well sure. That's why we were sealed in the temple, so we could all go to the magical Celestial Kingdom and live happily ever after. That's sort of the whole point of being mormon.

I guess I never had one. :(

I never thought of planning for eternity. I guess it is no surprise I'm on RfM.

Nope...never believed in the need for one...

Having an eternal life plan is similar to creating a birth plan. It's all dandy until the first real contraction hits and you realize the baby has its own birth plan.

After my childhood I could imagine no worse fate than extended life.

Funny, in my childhood I developed a fear of the eternal. I tried many times as a child to comprehend no end to myself. Not just a concept of it but a true extension of my short life at the time out to where time was a meaningless concept.

The coldness of dragging the cares of my being from a starting point to attempting to cover infinite time messed with my head. I was frightened of living forever. It seemed like a form of hell. I tried to conceive of my end and I can't but I know it is possible. I think I will be easily able to do it near my end.

But there is comfort in knowing you have an arch in life that never comes to people for whom death is merely a "twinkle" in their eyes and they are onto better "things." But nothing lasts forever - not even inanimate things.
