Why waif for the afterlife? You can still go to the International Star Registry or Name a Star or any of those and pay to have one named after you to be your own. And, although there is a fee, the cost is way less than tithing!
I'm thinking of applying for Pluto since it seems to be the one no one really knows what to do with--always chosen last for the team. Besides, it's very low maintenance.
My daughter won a contest in her local astronomy club. She used trigonometry to calculate the height of a peak on the moon. The prize was having the peak named after her. (for that club and all in fun).
I'd come visit. Sounds like The Big Rock Candy Mountains....
"In the Big Rock Candy Mountains You never change your socks And the little streams of alcohol Come trickling down the rocks The brakemen have to tip their hats And the railroad bulls are blind There's a lake of stew And of whiskey, too You can paddle all around 'em In a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"
My planet would be Don's Hawaiian Islands World. All islands of many sizes throughout the temperate zone. The frozen poles would be left alone. Wind power would dominate. No cars, but many golf carts. All electric. No meat other than birds and fish. Fruit bearing trees everywhere. Automated production with recycling and reuse. Handcrafted beers. The god would be Dionysus and the goddess Eros. The annual feast would be the Great Luau.
"I don't know that we teach that." Well holy crap, I guess I dozed off and dreamed all that get your own plant stuff during gospel doctrine and priesthood meeting.
Do I have this right? You have to enter the CK with your plural wives to gain exaltation, whereas some people incorrectly believe that when they enter the CK, gain exaltation, they then get their plural wives.
I only pretend to love and adore those psycho middlemen who control our lives because Mormonism promises that our next life beyond this one full of trials/tribulations will be one where we get to have our worlds without number as gods and goddesses. If it wasn't for that hope then I'd shove all our chapel toilet scrubbers down the throats of those sanctimonious pompous jerks who have been called to micromanage our lives.
Parsing words, LDS inc can say this because this was never the doctrine.
The doctrine was that we would become gods,equals of Elohim, and a partaker in all of his glories. Elohim isn't a god of just this world but of all of the universe.
The highest order of the Mormon heaven means that you create a universe of your own. That is the doctrine.
