My wife also attended yesterday (she attends about 1-2 times/quarter for me and the kids… Ironically that probably means she’s counted as active). Her description of Sunday school was pretty horrific (I was teaching another class). On the 3 degrees of glory. By the end of the lesson the conclusion was:
Telestial kingdom: forsook testimony in this life/whoremongers (this was actually written on the board…with the backslash)
Terrestrial: Umm… Everyone else?
Celestial: Mormons or people who go through pain and suffering in the spirit prison but had been baptised while dead by Mormons.
My wife said to me later that if was a choice between an eternity with the Mormons in that classroom or level 3, she’s already decided she’ll take her chances with the pimps. I tried to reassure I’d requested a mansion on the other side of ‘heavensville’ – but I don’t think she’ll be joining us at church for a while. It’s ok. She’s actually a far more balanced, fulfilled person outside of the church. I fully support her choices.
I wish I’d been in there. I’d have pointed out that our doctrine on infant mortality means that the Mormons in heaven will be outnumbered by about 1000-1 by African/Asian children who died before being 8 years old.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_mortality I suppose that might be a bit in bad taste. It’s not intended to. It’s to point out that the whole concept of eternal rewards in the minds of many Mormon is skewed.

Get the needle and thread out; this one should be embroidered on a pillow.
