...let me say just a bit more about...marriage. This may sound a little bit bold to urge marriage for those...past the marriageable age;...we are shocked to know that some men are delaying marriage until their later thirties or into their forties, and they have never talked of marriage.

...I have a letter here from a sister that pinpoints something...these girls are going through...There is a man who has been dating her for years and he comes especially at meal time...
Here is another one who says, “I am a 40-year-old single woman.” Another one says, “I am a 30-year-old single woman.”...they all say about the same thing...“For the past year and a half I have been dating a fellow who is 33. We see each other almost every day...I have tried to terminate the relationship, but it seems to drag on. There is no commitment; realistically, there is also very little hope.”

I think that is enough to give you the other side of the story from the girls who are frustrated. All women have a desire for companionship. They want to be wives; they want to be mothers; and when men refuse to assume their responsibility of marriage, for no good reason, they are unable to consummate marriage. Brethren, we are not doing our duty as holders of the priesthood when we go beyond the marriageable age and withhold ourselves from an honorable marriage to these lovely women, who are seeking the fulfillment of a woman’s greatest desire to have a husband, a family, and a home.

...remember, brethren, that only those who enter into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage in the temple for time and eternity, only those will have the exaltation in the celestial kingdom. That is what the Lord tells us.

Per Lds theology, the "Celestial Kingdom" is the highest kingdom of three supposed tiers...and ONLY those living in that kingdom live forever with Heavenly Father.
(The Middle tier can live with Jesus, but not Heavenly Father).
IoW, no marriage, no living forever with Heavenly Father, per Lds "prophet" Harold B. Lee.
Mormonism is a cult like the Moonies or Hare Krishna...it's just marketed better.
Mormons on these threads sometimes mock the claim that they believe that they will become gods, but this is from the BYU Encyclopedia of Mormonism.
“Latter-day Saints believe that those who attain the highest level in the Celestial Kingdom become gods, receive exaltation, and are joint heirs with Christ of all that the Father has” (cf. Rom. 8:14-17; D&C 76:50-70;84:33-39;132:19-25).
Great language, and in the religion section no less.
You should ask the mod to remove it.
Well babygene, the mods pulled your post, and I have no idea what this pretense of not having made it is about.
You sure seem to have gotten the ping when I responded to your post 3, so you obviously posted it.
You made post 3, why are you making up this strange lie?
No I didn’t... You screwed up somehow. At 6:00 o’clock sharp we eat dinner. And this evening the grand kids came by with desert.
You screwed up and need to apologize. Send me a private message as to the text of the post you are referring to.
You made the post and I posted to it, why aren’t you claiming all this to the religion moderator who pulled your post?
Up until the deleted post I don’t see anything remotely controversial to comment on.
Why are you pestering me, I only responded to your post.
Why are you not appealing to the religion moderator or Jim Robinson that someone mysteriously hacked your account and made post 3 from your account?
Because I didn’t post it and I didn’t read it. I don’t know what post #3 said.
If I had posted it and it had been deleted the posting would still show up on my screen, and it doesn’t.
Look, you have some mental issue going on, but all I did was respond to your post, you need to take up your personal issues and regrets with the owner of the site.
Quit pestering me about your post being pulled, I’m not the one who contacted the moderator, I assume the moderator read it and pulled it himself.
I still have everything up as it was posted thru post number 5...before post number 3 was deleted & can quote part of it back 2u...it was submitted exactly 158 seconds before post no. 4...and it strangely has your username babygene attached to it...either u posted it or somebody with access to your keyboard did...
“either u posted it or somebody with access to your keyboard did...”
Nobody would have access to my keyboard. And according to the time stamp my spouse and I were having dinner. From 6 until almost 8 Mountain time.
Religion Moderator What’s going on here?
