Spirit and Elements Seperated vs. Saturday's Warriors = Sunday School Drama

Any valiant church teenager grew up tormented with the low budget musical Saturday's Warriors. Fortunately I was only exposed to this horrific script plagued with false doctrine once or twice because my parents never bought it, however several ward friends did own the video and I watched it a few times, and was fed the vision of the pre-existance as written by the authors. For anyone reading that needs a refresher: A family in pre-existance loves each other dearly, knows each other fully, promises each other with all their humanly emotions to find one another on Earth no matter what. On child is almost left behind, but is fortunately brought to this Earth by an accidental pregnancy, no child left behind. We follow this family through their hardships, pain, joys, etc. Whatever.

I find fault with the pre-existance. Mostly because now a whole generation gives Sunday School comments based on this pre-conceived notion of human emotions, lack of free agency (our families were chosen in the pre-existance therefore how can we have free agency to choose an earthly companion and how many children we have?), and familial relations behind the veil. All of these thoughts are absurd. In fact, men will sometimes tell women that they feel that she is his "eternal companion" based on some prayer and feeling he knew her in the pre-existance. Disturbing.

Based on my rigorous study of the scriptures, science, etc. I've concluded that Saturday's Warriors is nothing but a whimsical fantasy that might as well be attached to a paegan religion. In fact, perhaps we should show it to terrorists rather than water boarding as it's surely more torturous. According to D&C 93:
bIntelligence, or the clight of dtruth, was not ecreated or made, neither indeed can be.

30 All truth is independent in that asphere in which God has placed it, to bact for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence.

31 Behold, here is the aagency of man, and here is the condemnation of man; because that which was from the beginning is plainly manifest unto them, and they receive not the light.

32 And every man whose spirit receiveth not the alight is under condemnation.

33 For man is aspirit. The elements are beternal, and cspirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;

34 And when separated, man cannot receive a fulness of joy.

I'll paraphrase in how I understand this. Man is a. spirit and b. Body. We know from D&C 76 that that is also the soul of man. Which we did not have in the pre-existance. We were soul less. So what were we? We were intellegence. What is a soul? A soul has a body - that is the defining factor? What makes a body the so important in having a soul and so important to the intellegence?

We know from science, brainmapping, DNA, and all the technology from the past 100 years, that we have hormones which make us feel emotions. Without our body we feel no joy, no pain, no jealousy or guilt, or remorse. In the preexistance we had no endorphines, dopamine, seratonin.

We were little bits of math and logic. We possibly had personalities and functioning capibilities. Perhaps little computers with cognitive capabilities that defined us seperate from one another. Our DNA wasn't expressed until birth so we didn't have form - not that Saturday's Warriors could have shown figureless spirits (they didn't have a Steven Spielberg budget), however, to show emotional attachment, or even familial attachement to one another is impossible. Of course, that ruins their entire storyline.

Our decision to choose Christ's plan was based on intelligence - truth and light. It made logical sense to these spiritual beings. We wanted a body so we could feel joy and pain. That was a reasonable plan. To the other third part, a forced plan with no choice and a dictatorship following lucifer sounded logical. We voted, and we won. And now, we got what we wanted, and sometimes we love our choice, and other times, we resent it because the pain is overwhelming. The paradox of choice.
Of course, you mention this in Sunday School and you're likely to get dirty looks from those who would like to continue to drink the kool-aide. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Brigham hugged all 58 of his wives before he headed to Earth.
