My mormon mom and I talk every weekend and it so happened that she was really enthused to tell me she had finished all her sealing and endowing, all the ancestors of her family she could find were no longer dead Catholics, they were all dead mormons now, all the unmarried dead people were now married to other dead people, all the dead Catholic men were dead mormon priests in the cult now...although they can't be gods at least they could go to the slum area of mormon heaven (terrestrial kingdom?) and now she could be at peace, she's 82, and she thinks everything's signed, sealed, and delivered, and she's ready to join my dead father to be a god's wife.
All I could do is listen and make affirmative sounds. At some point you have to let it go.
Does she claim like a lot of Mormons do that she has completed her genealogy all the way back to Adam? Even when I was LDS, I couldn’t believe that people bought that ‘faith promoting’ rumor.
I was lucky, I got out of the LDS church before I married, but only because my Returned LDS missionary fiancee decided he was gay a few weeks before our temple wedding.
And since I was a convert, I don’t have any LDS family. I still have LDS friends and I understand the grunts of affirmation, I do that sometimes when they start going on about thier kids going on a mission, or Relief Society, or a temple trip. UGH.
LOL, those can’t be fun phone calls, but at least you still get to have them.
You may not have meant it to be, but your post is hilarious. No longer dead Catholics....now dead mormons. LOL
