What is the purpose of sealing a marriage for eternity in the temple? Do the individuals believe they are still married after death and continue with sexual relations to produce souls for babies? Yes you would still be married and together after death. I've never heard anything concerning "sexual relations" in heaven...

What is the purpose of the special underwear that are worn after a temple sealed marriage? What do they look like? I know what they look like but I don't think it's something I am supposed to talk about, they are considered sacred. I don't really know much about them as I haven't been through any temple sessions or anything.

Why is water consumed at communion rather than wine? Does it not represent blood? Consuming alcohol is against the Word of Wisdom. Thats about all I can tell you on that.

Was Jesus God's only Son or not? Yes and no..he's God's only begotten son in the flesh but we are all considered sons and daughters of God.

Do LDS's believe they will some day be god's of their own planet? I can answer yes to that in a degree but I don't know enough about that to fully answer it.

Do my LDS friends pray for my soul and research my anchestors in their geneology work? Is this required? I don't know? I know many people are involved in geneology work..it's not like required to be a member.

What is a "Jack Mormon"? Is it a Mormon who has left the church?? I *think* it's somebody like me..not absolutely sure...kinda like an inactive member.

Why do LDS members cross their arms in prayer? Is this significant? I think just in reverence to God, I'm not aware of any specific significance.

Can a woman get to heaven without being married to a mormon and sealed in a temple? What happens to her?? Isheaven the same as the planets? People who have already passed on are in the Spirit World which is a place of learning and preparation. They will not be in heaven until the resurrection. People who were not married here on earth have opportunities there. That's about all I know on that.
Thanks!!

Sorry I'm not much help, I'm not really qualified to answer religion questions lol.
