The LDS teaching of the Holy Ghost (who will leave you if you are not ‘worthy’) is completely unbiblical.
We must not pollute our mortal tabernacles in any way. We must live the Word of Wisdom;
Ha ha!
D&C 89:7
And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.
Except, of course, for this one - 1 Cor. 3:16–17.
“No member of the godhead dwells in us in the literal sense of the word, but all of them dwell in us figuratively to the extent that we are like them.”
(See Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith pg 275-76)
. ...”the Holy Ghost is now in a state of probation which, if he should perform in righteousness, he may pass through the same or a similar course of things that the Son has” (An account of a sermon delivered by Joseph Smith on 27 Aug 1843)(Words of Joseph Smith, p, 245, capitalization and punctuation corrected)...
“the Holy Ghost is yet a spiritual body and waiting to take to himself a body as the Savior did, or as God did, or the Gods before them took bodies” (Words of Joseph Smith, p. 382, capitalization and punctuation corrected)

Yes that same Millet...
I enjoyed the article. I wouldn’t have become a Mormon, without the influence of the Holy Spirit. And God continues to guide me and testify of truth through the power of the Holy Spirit.
you know eternal companionship is a crucial part of the gospel,

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
No mention of marriage...
the principles of celestial marriage
That by it alone can the iniquity of the world be eradicated, and women exalted in heaven? Do you not know that polygamy is to purify the world, and give birth to a holy race, worthy to receive Christ?” (Anon)
Society is much the same everywhere. However, there is one peculiar feature about the Mormon society. The men are all and always matrimonially eligible. Only the women are married and settle (Anon)
Love! we leave that to the Gentiles. Saints marry from principle: women to get to heaven, and men to amuse themselves (Anon)
Conference was the time of marrying and giving in marriage. Conference is also the time to pay up the tithing: that chief duty of a Saint, without which none other is meritorious. The tithing-office overflows. The theater offers its choicest attractions; thus prayer, business and pleasure, make Conference the two great events of the year. (Anon)
you feel frustrated because no worthy partner is available.

Wasnt this the reason given for polygamy amongst the early Utah Territory Mormons in the first place ???
Not enogh “worthy” mormon males out there in the desert to “marry”
The Mormon woman had to share the few available guys ???
Like always it is always about works. A Christian will testify as to what the Holy Spirit does in their lives. How Christ changed them.
For the LDS it is all about what they MUST do (in this case to ‘keep’ the Holy Spirit as if they are in control of God). For the LDS it is about the individual not God.
