How can you be sealed to your children and live with them eternally unless they stay eternally children? That would be hell. If they become adults and gods of their own worlds, then how are you with them eternally?

But they are teaching it while living, and looking forward to it as a part of their conception of heaven. And then they shout to the world that this is no longer mormon doctrine.

Yeah I met a guy at the gym here who was on his 5th marriage. I didn't think the church went for that; it's like serial dating with legal/church complications. Not a testimony builder for sure.
