That's great. So is there anything in particular that you would like to discuss? or do you just want to finish up the kingdoms of heaven?

ok, we will pick up with talking about the telestial kingdom. to start with read D&C 76:81–90, 98–106, 109–12.
The telestial kingdom is the lowest kingdom of glory and the Lord compared its glory to that of the starts.
Who will inherit the telestial kingdom?

Yup.
so, what conditions or limitations will be placed on those in the telestial kingdom? (See D&C 76:84–86, 102, 104–6, 112.)

They won't be able to be in the presence of Heavenly Father or Christ and they won't be able to progress.

yup, which is kinda sad.
The next kingdom is the terrestrial kingdom, and its glory is compared to that of the moon. start by reading D&C 76:71–80, 91, 97.
Who will inherit the terrestrial kingdom?

yup, and Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve explained: “Those destined to inherit the terrestrial kingdom are: (1) those who died ‘without law’—those heathen and pagan people who do not hear the gospel in this life, and who would not accept it with all their hearts should they hear it; (2) those who hear and reject the gospel in this life and then accept it in the spirit world; (3) those ‘who are honorable men of the earth, who [are] blinded by the craftiness of men’; and (4) those who are lukewarm members of the true church and who have testimonies, but who are not true and faithful in all things” (A New Witness for the Articles of Faith [1985], 146).
now, what conditions or limitations will be placed on those in the terrestrial kingdom? (See D&C 76:76–78.)

They won't be able to be with Heavenly Father and they won't have celestial bodies.

that's right.
now how can we keep ourselves from being “blinded by the craftiness of men”? (see Ephesians 4:11–15; 1 Nephi 15:24; Helaman 5:12; D&C 3:7–8; 21:4–6; 52:14–20)

Listen to Church leaders, cling to the word of God, build your spiritual foundation on Christ, fear God rather than man, follow the commandments and any other revelation given, and be humble.

Yup. So now we move onto the Celestial Kingdom. The celestial kingdom is the highest kingdom of glory and the Lord compared its glory to the glory of the sun.
Who will inherit the celestial kingdom? (See D&C 76:50–53, 68–69)
