The Punishment of Eternal Marriage

[_Runtu]

Reminds me of this clip from Stephen Fry:

I really love my wife. She's brilliant. She's the reason I actually do want to think (pretend?) there is an Eternity.

I'm lucky that way too. She's everything you could want in a partner. And bonus: she rejects the supernatural as well.

Imagine the embarrassment of those poor wives who suddenly start to look like young guys. Then there is that one that turned into a sheep.

The old joke about a Rumanian shepherd --- who comes down from the alps twice a year ---

To his fond sheep:
- Even if you could a little more to cook!
- Baaa!
- At least you don't cheat me with the bellwether...

And to counter the Seminary teacher's lesson, remember Alma 34:34

34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.

Hmmmm. It says "same spirit"...but it doesn't say "same body". Hmmmmm.

Ever wonder why Supermodels and Celebrities get divorced? Crazy, Shrill, Abusive, Cheating, Nasty, Selfish, Obnoxious, Rude, Divas in a pretty wrapper are still, Crazy, Shrill, Abusive, Cheating, Nasty, Selfish, Obnoxious, Rude, Divas on the inside.

Think of living with that for ETERNITY

Joseph Smith recognzed that polygamy was the answer to marriages that sucked. drop the wife and hook up with a submissive babe, no penalty price to pay.

maybe he really was a prophet!!!

Oh, and an interesting take on Russell Wilson and a motivating factor ($$$$$$$) for his divorce - http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/russell-w ... -contract/

Ah, but sadly, in the ever changing Mormonicious doctrine, even this belief has been sacrificed to the PR department of the Corporation.

"The Mormon Church is pushing back against the notion that members of the faith are taught they'll get their own planet in the afterlife, a misconception popularized in pop culture most recently by the Broadway show 'The Book of Mormon.'

A newly-posted article affirms the faith's belief that humans can become like God in eternity, but says the 'cartoonish image of people receiving their own planets' is not how members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints envision it.

'While few Latter-day Saints would identify with caricatures of having their own planet, most would agree that the awe inspired by creation hints at our creative potential in the eternities,' the article says."

So, no planet, no need for Polygamy in Mormon heaven.

Russell Wilson seems like too cool a guy to pull a dick move like that. Besides, couldn't her lawyer argue that she is entitled to half of his next contract since his upcoming monster contract is based on his performance the past few years when she was his wife. I guess it depends on the prenup.

I agree. But wow, I guess if things aren't going well and the writing is on the wall...better to pull the trigger now.

Update on our Poor Dumb Bastard Mormon Engineer.

His loving Eternal companion is upset that he is spending time on his hobby and wants him to quit. Reason given for him having to quit, "he is enjoying it too much."
