Now we know deathbed repentance will not work, but what about deathbed Marriage?
According to D&C 132:16-17 if one is not married one is forever screwed or damned to be an angel, never to become a God. Never ever?
One would view this as hell or damnation. For all eternity one would question why marriage never came around in mortal life. Surely they could have found someone. If only they weren’t so picky.
There should be a list for poor unfortunate souls as myself, worst case scenario, to be allowed to marry another on the death bed. This would fulfill this quota and allow one to obtain all the blessings.
What about those who died without being married? They could receive the gospel and have the saving ordinances done for them with the exception of celestial marriage. Doesn’t seem fair, but I suppose some would like it.
For me, I want to create worlds and play around with SuperNovas and destroy galaxies, for testing purposes of course.

I do not deny that it is my “doctrine” – which by nature makes it false.
I was asked to delete a comment, but frankly it has merit.
One could use the argument that if you wait to marry on the deathbed, you might be trying to repent of something and therefore it is false because of the scripture in Alma.
Anyway, a more inclusive disclaimer would state:
