Families Forever?
Mormon doctrine presents the Latter-day Saints with a
challenge: What will they be doing in eternity? Many find themselves stuck in a
strange predicament. They imagine the eternal family as the typical young
household with a number of little children that can never grow up. Yet many a
patriarch had sons and grandsons whose ages surpassed his own; are they always
to remain daddy's little men? So what will we do forever? The movie studio
imagines something like an eternal family reunion held in the city park with
everybody sitting or standing around in old-fashioned nightgowns in an exchange
of insipid smiles and small talk. After twenty minutes of that, anyone would
settle for inferno. ("Change out of Control", Approaching Zion)
