Hyohko... You certainly have given me food for thought. I think you are correct. Considering that our goal is to return to our Father in Heaven, it would certainly be a form of Hell for me.

I appreciate this answer. It is thoroughly and expertly researched. I hope you don't mind that I print it for my own references. Thank you. It does NOT however comfort me in cases where family members have made bad choices.

Well then I welcome you to REjoin us anytime! :)

Well, I think it is so much more important to remember that no one is perfect. I go to church for my own salvation... don't worry too much about anyone else's. And certainly a pet peeve is a small reason to avoid church, don't you think? :)

This thread has me smiling!

Bottom line.... We better do our best!:)

I posted before I had read your comment. Sorry..... kind of asked the same 'ole question that was before. But I cannot think for the life of me why there would be no more progression... It kind of defeats our purpose, doesn't it?

This is a deep subject. Possibly one that we need not speculate on but know that we cannot know all things at this time. However, it is my own personal belief that progression is eternal. Why would it not be? Afterall, our Heavenly Father has created all things on an eternal basis. I am stumped though on this: The second degree of glory is the Terrestrial Kingdom and its glory is compared with that of the moon. Those who inherit this kingdom of glory are they who were good people during life but "were blinded by the craftiness of men." (see DC 76:75) They are also those who: "died without law; "Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it. "These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father. "These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God" (D&C 76:72,74,77,79.) The part that makes me pause is this ~ "Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it". I have family that have never truly received a testimony in this life. Therefore, I know that they will not be held accountable in the same manner as I. But so does this mean that even if they gain a testimony in spirit prison, they are consigned forever to the terrestial kingdom? Believing in eternal progression, this makes little sense to me as a mere mortal. I know that God is merciful, kind and loving. I know that He will do ALL in His power to return ALL his children to Him. So... Just food for thought. Would be wonderful if someone else knows more about this... Just Me

....and then went into breast exams. Specifics, specifics....whateva! :-)

Well, the thread began talking about breast exams so that is what I was referring to specifically. Guess I wasn't too clear.

Nikki, I thought I was losing my mind when I began reading this thread. Because I too was taught that the garment should be directly next to your skin. But seems as if many wear their bra under the garment. Your reply assured me that senility has not set in yet! :-)

Interesting topic! Hope the guys are reading other things... I don't know what "boob pockets" are? Enlighten me. ...and my OB/GYN has me take off everything (at least from the waist up).

Maya, I always play nice and never pull out the 'ole stinger! Bring sweetness to the forum.... y'know? like honey!

From one newbie to another...Welcome!
