Counter Attack: Think Celestial = Think Polygamy!

Post by Red Ryder » Tue Oct 03, 2023 6:11 am

Ladies and gentleman, Brothers and Sisters, humans and humanoids… are you tired of feeling beat down, betrayed, upset by the latest words of the Living Prophet, even Russell M. Nelson?

Are you tired of your loved ones shunning you, your home teachers preaching at you, and your instagrams and Facebook feeds flooding you with Think Celestial memes?

Well then I got something for you!

THINK CELESTIAL = THINK POLYGAMY!

Celestial Marriage = Polygamy
Celestial Kingdom = Polygamy
Celestial Underpants = Polygamy
Celestial Dessert = Polygamy
Celestial Porn = Polygamy
Celestial Poontang = Polygamy

The church can’t shake polygamy no matter how often they attempt to distance from their polygamist roots and past denunciations. They hate this eternal connection like President Nelson hates the word Mormon!

We can put an end to this two word caveat and force it to end just as quickly as it started. Every mention of “Think Celestial” needs to be counter attacked with a polygamy comment!

Mom: we as a family beed to think celestial

Us: great idea mom! Eternal Polygamy is going to be awesome!

You get the idea!

Now let’s go print up bumper stickers, T-shirts, and banners and let’s stand on the corner of every Mormon chapel and every Mormon temple and shout from the rooftops! Let’s post memes, YouTube comments, and flood the internet with a counter attack! Let us buy armies and navies, popes and priests, and reign with blood and horror on this earth!!"

THINK CELESTIAL = THINK POLYGAMY!

Mormons will drop it faster than granny’s pair of worn out garmies with a stretched out waistband hits the floor!

My first thought when I saw people using this line on Twitter was that Joseph Smith literally used this line of thinking to get teenage girls to marry (and have sex with) him - they didn't want to do it, but he asked them to 'Think Celestual' in order to get them to abandon their moral compass and agree to doing this for the promised treasures that Joseph would never have to deliver.

It is an incredibly manipulative and powerful tool to get people to do what they would otherwise never do and you could see it throughout GenCon as the church would say 'if you pay tithing, you'll be blessed' before later saying 'but if you're not blessed now, you will be in the eternities.'

It's all a long game of treasure digging - the only difference is that you can keep members digging their entire lives because you'll never have to deliver those promised blessings for eternity.

Could planet K2-18-B possibly be Kolob? The data for the atmospheric composition seem promising. More data will take about a year to analyze, but in the meantime, we could be sending them pinpoint high-frequency broadcasts of Music and the Spoken Word, as well as quotes from Russell M. Nelson.

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

If they find the atmosphere full of hot gasses, lots of methane and carbon dioxide, I'd say they found it.

Due to distances involved, by the time the signals get to K2-18-B, RMN will be a past profit and therefore only speaking as a man. He must be thrown under the bus in favor of the profit at the time.

Naw, the star it orbits is a red dwarf, not enough fusion to power the sun through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash. We must keep looking.

You've probably heard my theory about Kolob. In Joshua Sexias Hebrew, the word for dog is spelled Keleb. Sirius, known since ancient times as the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the sky. It seems likely that Joseph would have considered it a very special star, and with a bit of Smith-style riffing Keleb becomes Kolob.

Would that be the law firm of McFunguy and McCosmo?

The angst I feel over mormons abusing the word "Celestial" is probably equivalent to the angst conservative TBMs and their billionaire old guys feel about the gay community stealing the rainbow from Noah.
