Those mansions are huge...

3. dusting/polishing
4. kitchen/bathroom/utility cleaning
5. window/balcony cleaning
6. dish washing/drying

Gaz is referring to the concept that many GA's have referred to over the years, although it isn't official doctrine. The fact that those who don't make it to the highest level of the Celestial Kngdom will be servants for those who do.

Do unmarried men become chamber pot boys?

Honestly, why does heaven need servants anyhow? Does Heavenly Father ever use servant brother / sisters that didn't make it? If so, when and how? Last I checked, God's angels consisted entirely of His own children, not servants who didn't make it to exaltation.

Hinckley's likely successor, Thomas S. Monson, said in a speech last year that women should seek secular education — not to pursue careers, but because their husbands might fall ill or die.


Having read the speech, I would argue that Gorski is quoting Monson out of context and creating a strawman.

Do you have a citation for this talk? I'd like to read it.

There are women who have to leave their children to work, but any woman who does so without financial necessity is shortchaging her children and herself. Nothing that I did as a college teacher was better than what I did at home. Sure, there were frustrating times. But then being threatened by a mentally deranged student wasn't exaclty fun, either.


What about couples who have determined, for various reasons, that the father will stay at home with the children?

I thought these were the jobs for the wives?

Or are you saying that housecleaning in the CKHL will no longer be the job of the wives (who become queens) but the female servants who were not sealed to a man?

Nice choices for women... live in a harem or continue to be the housecleaner. Ohhh isn't your God great!
