if you attend fast & testimony meetings for enough years, you're bound to hear some clueless member get up and strongly hint that they know their "calling and election" has been made sure, though they have no connection to Mormon elites and therefore no chance of having received the Second Annointing.

On a thread I was reading earlier today (as well as many other references I have read in the past on these boards), I read something that my dear friend Nightlion authored about Joseph Smith's "Calling and Election made sure."

After the many times I have seen this in written form over the years, I am still unsure as to what it really means? Where it originated? Who has it? (Or is it given/earned?)

And, is this topic something that is not suppose to be openly discussed? Sacred?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and peace,
Ceeboo

Basically, it means you can do whatever you want in this life, you are assured a place in the highest degree of Mormon heaven.

You can have homosex
You can masturbate till it falls off
You can post nasty things about liz

And still go to heaven!
