No such thing as sealing yourself. Ordinances for living people take multiple interviews from church leadership and a separate physical recommend.

There's another glaring reason for being tired, going to bed early, and that's depression for which Tammy was on medication. Probably because she was treated so badly and knew her husband was having an affair. If you ever wondered why loving, nurturing mothers/wives treated like workhorses LEAVE their ungrateful families and start new lives, this is it. Poor Tammy. Emma and Garth, and Emma's husband betrayed any memory of their mother and came across as untruthful, bizarrely cultish and in denial. There's so much evidence against Chad it's absolutely shocking.
