Say It Won't Be So

I was perusing one of my favorite funny websites this morning, Awkward Family Photos, when lo-and-behold, the new picture for June 1st, 2010 happened to be of a more-than-obvious Mormon family in their temple-whites. They’re all ready to be taken up, as they engage in familial chit-chat without anyone actually looking at the camera.

Apart from the obvious awkwardness of looking at the picture itself, and reading the comments that quickly point out that this had to be Mormons (doesn’t any other religion like white clothes?), the thought struck me: spending my eternities in stark-white will not only be an eye strain (if you still get eye strains), but incredibly boring and dull.

Is anyone aware of the proclamation that there will only be white attire available in heaven? Perhaps the whites are only required in the Celestial Kingdom, and the lower K’s will get to have some flavors to choose from? If this is the case, along with no eternal child-rearing, chalk me up for the Terrestrial K.

And is it just me, or does the goofy family standing in the boxes (picture also from June 1st) also look like they're LDS with the father's celestial ring around the neck. Two awkward pics in one day. Sheesh!

Any other suspected Mormon families in Awkward Familly Photos? Post the link in comments!

  1. I thought the people in the boxes were Mormon, too!

  2. I'd go for the Special K. Not only do I not have to wear white, it's much more nutritious.

  3. Well, this is one of my favorites, and I suppose they could be Mormon. Maybe the lady underneath is a potential investigator.

  4. Aside from the perpetual white clothes being a drag, I can't go to the Celestial Kingdom....none of my friends will be there!!!

  5. Donna - That one took me a minute, but whoa! I'd rate that a 60% likelihood for LDS, without any tell-tale signs that I could see, apart from general appearance.

  6. Looking at this picture made me throw up a little in my mouth.

  7. The family in the boxes IS LDS...they're my cousins, and honestly, we have NO idea where that site got that picture. :-) It's a classic, though.
