Just wondering if Mrs. Osmond is in her heaven yet, or does she have to wait until her husband passes on? (really, I am quite curious about such things). Also, what happens if Mr. Osmond decides to remarry - then which wife does he spend eternity with when he does die?
One theory is that she is just outside the entrance to Osmond Heaven, which is known as the Pearly Teeth.
Excellent! Free floss for all eternity! Love it.
I’m not a guy, but I can speak for the Mormon part.
If you really wanna know … if a Mormon man marries more than once – and both marriages take place in the temple, he gets both women. Don’t ask me how that works, but that’s the doctrine.
As for those who pass on, they go to spirit prison or spirit paradise and just all hang out. Those in paradise go to the prison and teach others about religion and they all wait for the second coming of Christ when everyone gets resurrected and then comes the judgement, which determines if the Osmonds will go to Heaven.
Seems like they should get at least the same 29 virgins as the Muslims do…
you guys are funny.
Only God knows if Olive is in Heaven, her husband has nothing to do with it.
What happens if a widow is married again in the Temple? Will she then get both husbands?
We believe everyone goes to the same place after they die, even Mrs. Osmond. Cite. Mrs. Osmond is in the spirit world where she and everyone else gone before her will continue to learn and progress. If Mr. Osmond had passed on first. He would be in the same place. * Everyone *goes to the spirit world after death.
We believe families are the central unit for the eternities, not just for this mortal life and that the family unit as they are on earth can remain intact after death. Cite.
“Heaven” for us is where God lives.
At some point there will be a resurrection everyone who has ever lived on this earth will be resurrected (see 1 Corinthians 15:22). Our spirits will be reunited with our bodies.
iamsmurfette isn’t quite right and clearly doesn’t know about the ordinances that take place in the temple or the doctrines that they pertain to.
We call the binding together of families for eternity “sealing”, being sealed is not the same thing as being married, though a man and a woman do have to be married in order to be sealed. It is possible to marry in the temple and not be sealed, they are separate ordinances. Not all marriages take place in the temple and it is not necessary to be married in the temple to be sealed. Sealings take place in the temple.
A man does not “get both women”, unless they both want to be gotten by him. Women are not chattel. He can extend the invitation to both, the women choose if they want to accept.
A man may marry in the temple more than once and still only be sealed to one of the women he married in the temple. The same applies to women. A woman may marry in the temple more than once and still only be sealed to one of the men she married in the temple. For us the sealing is the part of the ordinance that is eternally binding.
If a man’s wife dies and he chooses to marry in the temple again after her death, they may or may not decide to also be sealed.
If a woman’s husband dies and she chooses to marry in the temple after his death, she will not generally be sealed to her second husband. There are cases where sealings of first marriages were revoked so that a woman could be sealed to her second husband rather than her first. They are rare and have extenuating circumstances. A woman would not be sealed to two men. Sealing is not slavery, it is a covenant. A covenant is a special promise between the individuals, the couple and God. In order for the sealing to be binding all parties must be worthy and honor the covenant.
Oh and just to be clear. A man or woman may only be married to one person at a time. So in order for a person to marry again, it must be after divorce or the death of his/or her mate.
