When I have time, I'll summarize it better then, not trying to be snippy or snarky, so accept my apologies.

We have very few theophanies in our culture where we claim direction revelation from Deity, yet we speak so dogmatically. Now heretics claiming to know the attributes of Our Mother in Heaven should not speak dogmatically either. Despite what we claim, we have very little pure revelation. Most of what we have involves speculative reason based on existing canon. After JS, there is mostly silence.

Yesterday a young boy was ordained a Deacon by his father in priesthood opening exercises. He repeatedly referred to the boy being with "Heavenly Parents" and being formed into being out a sea of intelligence by "Heavenly Parents," and so forth. The father never mentioned Heavenly Father; only Heavenly Parents.
This is the same person who came up to me and said we shouldn't schedule a ward temple session on Saturday morning b/c that is when couples are most likely to get it on. This man clearly has an agenda.

And you believe temple visits should interrupt conjugal visits?

If I were ever put to the choice between temple attendance with my wife and conjugal relations with my wife, I'd choose the the temple of which Paul speaks in 1 Cor. 6:19-20. You know, the one to which only I hold the recommend?

I'd be happy to read the article, but I'm not going to pay for it. And my post wasn't really about a Mother in Heaven anyway.
