Given our teachings on those that die before the age of accountability and the infant mortality rates in the third world, sounds like those of us that ended up in middle class North American mormon families got screwed. 
I tend to believe like you do about our sojourn here on earth.
Thanks for the help on the Terrestial and Telestial Kingdoms. A little seminary teacher trick of the trade.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
