Subject: [TruthTalk] Mormons and
Women
Here is another unhappy Mormon woman
who is saying the same thing
about having to be sealed to a man in a
temple to get to heaven... Judy

It Was NO Mistake
Dear David,
Thank you for confirming the suspicions I
have had for many years about the Mormon church which I've been in all my
life. Just thought I'd like to add an example of how unfair their rules
are for women without going back to when I was a young girl since they
will claim someone just made a mistake in my case (it was NO mistake).
Several years ago my uncle was going around to homes campaigning for
the job of county commissioner here. He met a woman he visited regulary for
sex and then decided to move in with her. He and his wife had been sealed in
the Salt Lake City Temple. She divorced him because of the adultery. He
married the woman who is about the age of his adult sons, she joined the
church, and they were sealed in the Orlando Temple.
The church
cancelled the marriage performed in the Salt Lake Temple. If the rules had
been applied fairly, he would have been excommunicated according to church
rules. Now if you keep in mind that they have
indoctrinated women into believing they cannot reach the celestial kingdom in
heaven unless they are sealed to a man in one of the temples while here on
earth, you can see why women are unhappy with the system.
Blaine: Woman as
well as men may achieve the Celestial Kingdom without being married;
however, they remain separately and singly in their saved
condition. Marriage is an earthly ordinance, and requires proper
authority for it to be binding beyond the grave. As far as we
know, no marriages are contracted after the resurrection. (See
D&C 132:13-18 )
(See also
Matt 22: 23-33; Mark 12:25; Luke: 20:35 ) Note that the passages in the gospels dealing
with marriage are inconsistent, hence the need for new revelation for
clarification of what the Lord meant.
This is a completeThe relatives here protect one another. His
first cousin is a Patriarch and a big percentage of the members are related
since it's a small community. The church boasts about how they begin teaching
children at age 3.
Blaine: The
younger the start, the better development of the skill, for anything--champion
Ice skaters are usually started at age 3-4; same with almost any skill or
talent. Consider the alternative--waiting until Satan has had a chance to
get the child into his grasp, then try to teach them?
I hate to admit it, but I've taught the 3-5 year old group,
the teen-agers, and the adult class. I've been a history teacher in Miami so
when I taught the adult class I didn't follow the manual exactly and used
additional resources causing one woman who graduated from BYU to question my
information. Last time I went to a class I noticed the teacher who is a school
principal here, follows the manual exactly. If you
question anything you're accused of being influenced by Satan.
Blaine: This may
happen in any Church, not just LDS--there are always people--I call them
pinheads, or meanies might be a better word--who will do anything to get in
the limelight. If the Bishop is involved, I'd say the person teaching
might need to be worried, otherwise, you should have just ignored this smartie
pants BYU student--I have seen them do this myself. They are sometimes
little know-it-alls, for sure. I graduated from the University of Utah, a state operated school
(:>).
How did you find out about the connection to the Jehovah
Witness and Satanism at the top level? I've always read and questioned things
but that evaded me until I read it on your website. Thank you again. It's been
a struggle for me but I'm feeling more free by the day.
Love,
