Putting on my tinfoil hat here.... The beards are only worn by those in leadership when they are engaged in polygamy, as a tribute to Brigham Young. No extra wives means no extra facial hair.

Unless the afterlife consists of suffering from amnesia, any kind of eternity eventually becomes hell.

Of course through the priesthood power, anything is possible including moving mountains and raising the dead. However, you should never do that. If they're dead, obviously god wanted them dead and if you use your power to raise them you are going against god's intentions. You're just supposed to have faith that you have this great power, that is so powerful you must never use it. It really

So you know how parents are all embarrassed at church and don't want to talk about or acknowledge that one of their children have fallen away? Well, they get to have that feeling for the rest of eternity while they wonder where they went wrong and failed you as a parent. Isn't it marvelous?

D&C 132 It is polygamy. Verse 7 also seems to say that it must be sealed by Joseph Smith or it's not valid. So I guess no mormons are actually married.

What I've seen done on a few occasions is that the corpse is dressed in the temple clothes, but the hat, apron, sash etc are kept in the lower half of the casket with the split lid closed. After the viewing is over, someone will go up and pull up the sash, and put their hat on and then close the casket.

What "trouble" can you get from a bishop? He has no power or authority over you, and the only thing he could do is ask you not to come to their meetings.

I remember almost all of my dreams, and from this I can say that they don't mean anything. I can usually piece together the "why" of a dream by thinking about what I did during the day. What I watched, what I was thinking about, concerned with etc... Your brain is just trying to sift through all the inputs and toss the irrelevant out, store the important stuff.

It may be healthier for you to just remain blissfully ignorant of many of the mormon things. Unless Mrs.Piper said specifically that she wants you to understand mormonism better, I'd leave it be. Why do I say this? My wife is not religious at all. I prefer that. I like being able to talk to her without her attaching mormonism to the topics. It is greatly helping in my recovery. When

Brainwashing is one of those evil thought terminating words that automatically put mormons on the defensive. I've found it's not a good launching point for any dialog with them. It's difficult to talk to them without calling a spade a spade, but you have to play around the words to keep the conversation going.

Well, the 144,000 would be polygamous and probably have 50-72 virgin wives each...uh...don't want to do the math. But if you're a woman and a virgin, look out!

Awesome. Thanks Kimball. This doesn't say anything about who achieves the highest levels of the celestial kingdom. On another forum, a poster was trying to tell me that only 144000 would inherit the highest kingdom...become gods etc..

So I've been out of the church for over a decade, so it's possible that my mind has actually forgotten this. I always thought that the 144000 talked about in revelations was only a belief held by the JWs. Are there any mormon doctrines on this?
