“It would be hard to imagine Heaven without children. It wouldn't be Heaven! It would be a pretty boring place without children. What are we going to do, all get to be old people and then stagnate and that's the end of it? Once all those that are already born grow up, the place would really lack life without new generations of children! If there were no children, it would be a dead society.” PeopleIfsChildrenEndsHardWould BeHeavenGrowsBornGrowing UpImagineGenerationsBoringHeavenlyOld PeopleNew Generation Author:David Berg

“The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like Himself; when we have been proved in our present capacity, and been faithful with all things He puts into our possession. We are created, we are born for the express purpose of growing up from the low estate of manhood, to become Gods like unto our Father in heaven. That is the truth about it, just as it is. The Lord has organized mankind for the express purpose of increasing in that intelligence and truth, which is with God, until he is capable of creating worlds on worlds, and becoming Gods, even the sons of God” WorldHas BeensPurposeFatherHeavenBornLordGrowing UpGrowingMankindSonBecomingCreatingCapableLowsCapacityAll ThingsPossessionFaithfulOrganizedEstatesManhoodOur FatherFather In HeavenBecoming GodCreating Worlds Book:The Essential Brigham Young Source: The Essential Brigham Young
“For me, heaven would be a lack of alienation. The whole time I was growing up, I felt comfort was inherently evil.

“God would not make me wish for something impossible and so, in spite of my littleness, I can aim at being a saint. It is impossible for me to grow bigger, so I put up with myself as I am, with all my countless faults. But I will look for some means of going to heaven by a little way which is very short and very straight, a little way that is quite new[...] It is your arms, Jesus, which are the lift to carry me to heaven, And so there is no need for me to grow up. In fact, just the opposite: I must stay little and become less and less.” WayNeedsLooksMeanLittlesI CanFactsJesusHeavenWishGrowsGrowing UpImpossibleArmsOppositesBiggerAimFaultsSaintLiftsSpiteGoing To Heaven Author:Therese of Lisieux
“Let us protect our children; and let us not allow them to grow up into emptiness and nothingness, to the avoidance of good hard work, to introspection and analysis without deeds, or to mechanical actions without thought and consideration. Let us steer them away from the harmful chase after material things and the damaging passion for distractions... Let us educate them to stand with their feet rooted in God's earth, but with their heads reaching even into heaven, there to behold truth.” ChildrenHardActionEarthPassionHeavenGrowsGrowing UpFeetMaterialsHard WorkProtectOur ChildrenEnvironmentalDeedsAnalysisEmptinessReachingConsiderationDistractionEducateSustainabilityRootedNothingnessIntrospectionAvoidanceSteersMaterial Things Author:Friedrich Frobel
“Growing up we were secular Jews, but what I got out of Judaism at that time in my life was questions. Everything was a question. "Dad, is there a heaven? Is there a hell?" You never could get an answer. That informed a lot of my reasons for getting into Scientology, because they had all the answers. They said I was not my body, not my mind. I don't have a soul; I am an immortal soul. I've lived many lives and I'll live endlessly into the future, and as an immortal soul I have no gender.” MindSaidSoulReasonBodyHeavenAnswersHellGrowing UpGrowingDadJewGenderImmortalSecularThey SaidJudaismScientologyImmortal Soul Author:Kate Bornstein
