The Mormon Church Finally Tells The Truth
The Mormons Admit That Families Can Not Be Together Forever!
For those readers who are not familiar with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, more commonly known as Mormons, their PR message from their worldwide network of missionaries and the church itself has been that if you join our church, you can be with your family forever. Even eternity! The children’s song, Families Can Be Together Forever, has been sung at church for generations. Along with church magazines and videos, this theme has been a central tenet for all new and established Mormons. And yet even the most famous Mormon song offers clues to what was to come.
Families Can Be Together Forever
I have a fam’ly here on earth.
They are so good to me.
I want to share my life with them through all eternity.
Fam’lies can be together forever
Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.
I always want to be with my own family,
And the Lord has shown me how I can.
The Lord has shown me how I can.
While I am in my early years,
I’ll prepare most carefully,
So I can marry in God’s Temple for eternity.
Fam’lies can be together forever
Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.
I always want to be with my own family,
And the Lord has shown me how I can.
The Lord has shown me how I can.

I sang this song, I sang this song to my children, my children sang this song, and now, no doubt, my children sing it to their children. The recent statement from Mormon Prophet and President Russell M. Nelson confirms my concerns over many years.
Yes, you can be together, but only through “Heavenly Father’s plan.” Meaning, of course, if you do what we say you must do. And the only way to be with your loving family through all eternity is by marrying in the Mormon Temple. To do that, you must be one of only a minor percentage that qualifies for the Temple. In other words, total obedience and money are central to whether you qualify to be with your family.
And finally, a confession from the 98-year-old Mormon Prophet. “The time is coming when those who do not obey the Lord (meaning the Prophet and the other old white guys who determine the course of your life) will be separated from those who do.”
After a 35-year membership in the Mormon church, it seems to me that Heaven is going to be a lonely place. Few people will be there, and most will be without their loving family members. What kind of place is that? Heaven surely can’t be a place where you are constantly sad, and those you love are not with you.
As with all scams and cults, the long-term damaging issues are straightforward to see from the outside, but for most on the inside, the slow trickle of brainwashing techniques slowly blinds the minds of its members. So much that church members would be the first to point to all those on the outside who, in their mind, Satan is actually deceiving. But, of course, you must feel sorry for Satan, a perfect artificial scapegoat whose existence ensures the Mormon Prophet can tell you anything he wishes, and your cooperation is ensured. By fear for sure, but still, cult leaders will use any means possible to force their followers to be obedient to them. Oh, sorry, I forgot, to Jesus, not the Prophet. Mmmmm.
