0:28.7 | enemy lines. Tonight's episode, the exaltation complication. What do I mean by that title? The |
0:35.7 | exaltation complication. Well, let's deal first off with the term exaltation. Now, we know in the |
0:41.7 | LDS Church that exaltation is defined in a very specific way and it is defined as the family unit, |
0:49.7 | the nuclear family unit being exalted to live together forever in the celestial kingdom and not |

2:07.0 | is the fullness of joy found. Well, that sounds wonderful. Well, I mean, presuming that you actually |
2:12.3 | want to be together with your family forever. In a situation where a child has an abusive parent |
2:17.7 | which unfortunately happens all too frequently in this world, both inside the church as well as |
2:22.8 | outside the church, such a child may wonder about the fullness of joy that will be had by them |
