It's described as a place where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, but where do you ever see this? Only with the little folks.

Are they acting as if they are being dragged off to be fed to lions? Their favorite shirt is in the wash and they have to wear a different one. Or it's nap time and they aren't done playing. Or bath time. The horror.

If outer darkness is just a minor inconvenience, why did I pay all that tithing? No matter, as an apostate I should expect to endure similar horrors such as getting a 1% smaller slice of pie than my sibling.

The mere guilt and regret of letting Sky Daddy down is supposed to be the ultimate worst punishment. Sounds like a fantasy written by a father.

True. Though according to their own works, Sky Dadda could be, at best, described as an extremely abusive parent.

Son, I told you over and over to clean your room. If only you had listened. Now I'm going to have to destroy the place with you in it.

  

Ah, yes, the Outer Darkness Premium upgrade... All it costs you is your soul.

It would depend on if your girlfriend was pretty or ugly dpn't you think

Heaven wouldn't be heaven with a hell--it would just be everyday life. . And the worse the hell, the better the heaven! That Outer Darkness thing is genius. Everybody else's hells are so generic.

All the best scams come with a threat.

I love Outer Darkness! But do bring a flashlight.

Sparklers are probably not the least bit fun in the CK...

Precisely! 2 Nephi tells us there can be no light if there is no happiness; no joy without pain.

Who wants to live in a place where sparklers don't sparkle?

I still have my Star Wars laser sword, light saber, or whatever it was properly called, from when I was a very young child. Do you think I'll be allowed to bring it?

The great thing about the Celestial Kingdom is that you get to keep your light saber.

It's the bishop's office

"I still exist..."

I hope not since the Lord will use Rfm to decide who goes to outer darkness. We are all on the hit list.

One yuge upshot is no TBMs there. I mean, there is that, and that is more than kind of a win. :p

If there is such a place it is suppose to be a relm where there is no light, to me that means a barbaric situation, something pre Babylonia, before Moses when there was no Witten language, so a place where there are no news papers, books, technology, no tribes, everyone is at each others mercy, stealing shit all the time, like that great old movie with arnold scwartsneiger, called Conan the barbarian.

Does arnold scwartsneiger speak Witten?

>> no news papers, books, technology, no tribes, everyone is at each others mercy, stealing shit all the time <<

If there is nothing but darkness and those cast into it.....there isn't anything to steal......or do they get to bring stuff from the grave, like swords, horses, slaves, jewelry, food?

Sounds like a boring movie.

Roll Intro Credits.....fade to black.

Tortured Soul 1: Man it sure is dark.

Tortured Soul 2: Sure is, lets go steal some stuff from that dude over there.

Tortured soul 1 walks through the darkness: WHACK! Ouch! I just walked into something really hard, I think I broke my toe!

Tortured Soul 2: Watch where you going man!

Tortured Soul 1: I can't! It's Eff'ing dark here!

Tortured Soul 1 finally reaches the soul they are about to steal from: Ok, give us your stuff, or else!

Tortured Soul Victim: I don't have any stuff, no one here does. Its just darkness, nothing else.

Tortured Soul 1 and 2: Well, he does have a point.

The End....roll Final Credits.

Since the river Styx is involved, it would be Conan, the Riparian.

I’ll let myself out.

Initially, I groaned . . .

But then I stood with all the others and joined in the applause.

Yes, Cerberus, but did you moan with one, two, or all three of your mouths?

... Jealousy is such an ugly thing ...

Was never really told what "outer darkness" was other than the place sons of perdition go to. Anybody have any links/information about outer-darkenss??

Curious.

HH =)

Its worse than inner darkness, but not as bad as double secret outer darkness.....that's a little known codicil in the celestial kingdom bylaws.

Plenty of light where I am.

It's just another name for the unknown.
Just like other churches or viewpoints...
Working, playing, or spending on Sunday!
Not putting TSCC first. Tithing...

Mormons' closet.

Outer Darkness says don't trust yourself, don't trust God, or Nature... it's so ridiculous.

Mormonism wouldn't/ doesn't know THE FIRST THING about what occurs after death. It's all heresy-

> It's all heresy-

I suspect you may have intended to write Hearsay?

Of which there is plenty.

But there have also been quite a few people who get on the stand and, under oath, give testimony regarding what befell them on the other side of the veil, so direct testimony, as it were...

In such instances, we are each a member of the jury.  I keep calling all these witnesses deluded, at best, if not outright liars.  But no one listens to me and religion continues to be a very viable source of income.
