And why is it all such a big bloody cover up and a secret


Wynn, your posts are too general and sound confusing...I'm not trying to be mean but some people may not understand what are you talking about since you give too many thoughts all at once. Maybe you may want to give one or two thoughts then wait for the responses and then reply again so it will not be all mix up. wink.gif
Now, what is a secret and a cover-up?

This is apocryphal ----
Mosiah Hancock, in his autobiography, related a dream or vision that he had.  In it, he saw the Father, with a large group of wives (I think Bro. Hancock indicated that they were innumerable).  Early leaders also indicated that this was the case.  


So where do all these innumerable women come from? Since there are close to 50 percent men and 50 percent women on this Earth, I assume it would be similar on all worlds. So how does our Heavenly Father have innumerable wives? Lets say the number is much less, only 100 wives for each God. Now, I've heard there will be more women exalted than men, but it is difficult for me to believe that each man in the Celestial Kingdom will have 100 wives or more. I could believe five to seven maybe. If Heavenly Father and or other Gods have innumerable wives each, it must mean innumerable men must have no wives. Or am I missing something?

"Many are called but few are chosen," is my "first response" answer to that. Not many men are capable of the kind of Patriarchy as Heavenly Father has, although the opportunity is there for that progression.

In my opinion, of course.

Offtopic but,
Single Adult statistics in the church show that the ratio of active single men to active single women over 31 is 19:100. There are plenty of women to spare, apparently.

Again, from Bro. Hancock's vision, he explained that he was told that ONLY men rebelled with Lucifer.

When you look at the fact that, in more than a few cultures throughout history, there has been rampant infanticide of little girls (China being one of the most prolific), and the fact that even within the Church we see that many more women are faithful than men, we can see that there will be significantly more female than male spirits in the Celestial Kingdom.

Also, from what I have read, on the average, the birthrate for females is very slightly higher than for male babies. Something like 1.1:1

Maybe this is how such a situation as Bro. Hancock saw could occur.

I never heard of this before. Any scriptural evidence to support this?.

I think I heard this proposed somewhere once that only men rebelled but I doubt if i believe it. If that were the case, there should be many, many more women on Earth than men, unless they are all still in the pre mortal world. Besides, women can be quite wicked themselves. I've seen more than my share of them so it seems suspicious that no female spirits followed Satan.

I don't know of any scriptural support for the idea. As I said, this was from Mosiah Hancock's vision of God, including the interpretation that he received.

While it isn't scriptural, that doesn't mean it isn't true, or false. Take it for what it is worth, and if you really want to know the truth of it, take it to the Lord. For myself, it is only an interesting tidbit.
