-there is an exit as well as an entrance to hell and once the people have learned what they need there they will leave and there will be rejoicing welcoming him into a better state. –James E. Talmage, CR, April 1930, 97
(granted serious consequences exist for ignoring God in this life, like dropping down a kingdom. You won’t remain in hell, but you’ll miss out on the highest heaven. You can’t post pone repentance and qualify for the greatest eternal rewards. For more on that see the discourse “The 7 Deadly Heresies” by Elder Bruce R McConkie. We rejoice in the knowledge that hell is a temporary abode, like a prison sentence, this is a glorious truth of the latter-days! We also caution take the sons of perdition will remain forever in hell, however few of them there are; we also caution that qualifying for a middle kingdom instead of the highest, though it will be better than the lowest, knowing what you could have had but do not have will be a hell in and of itself. Lastly and foremost, rejoice at the grace of Christ, the great helper and giver of gifts! The righteous judge!)

-Repenting doesn’t deliver us from all suffering; sin brings pain. That is that. But if we repent, we won’t have to suffer the full extent of the consequence of that sin (“Sin and Suffering,“ BYU 1989-1990 Devotional and Fireside Speeches, 149.) .
