My grandparents have a little more disposable income, though. Their celestial room looks like the one of the sets of Trinity Brodcasting Network's PTL, the one that Paul and Jan Crouch host. It's multi-level with a winding staircase, a skylight (there are no other windows) and a white Bosendorfer piano tha's probaby worth over 100K. Only LDS hymns - not even Bach or Handel -- may be played on that divine piano, although I'd like it much better in black than in white. Some day I'm going to find a way to get in there when no oe's home and play Moart, Bach, Beethoven, and even a little Billy Joel and Bruce Hornsby just to get it out of my system.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-21136473663594472102013-01-17T04:44:41.818-08:002013-01-17T04:44:41.818-08:00When I was Mormon, the only people I can image who...When I was Mormon, the only people I can image who would have been in that Celestial category was probably the Bishop and some of his cohorts. Maybe a few others that were rich enough.In Southern CA - specifically San Fernando Valley and Santa Monica (the 2 places I lived and went to church at) the Mormons weren't as annoying of those who we visited at BYU for the youth conference. Not that I really visited all the members homes to see if they had such rooms, no thank you on that part. But the ones I was at were never freaky overboard. <br /><br />There were only a few of the young men that I am sure were forced into going on a mission. Ha, but there was 1 young man that I kinda prevented from that as well...<br /><br />I have sometimes wondered what happened to all the people I've gone to church with in the past, if they are still Mormon or not...Faery Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449195963458261640noreply@blogger.com
