I don't know if this helps but I will give it a go.
We believe that God wants to bless us with all he has and we believe in eternal progression. Now......some have taken that idea and expounded on it. They have pondered and come up with ideas. This subject gets talked about like it is doctrine.....when perhaps it is more like educated speculation. And sometimes I think speakers like high counselmen forget who their audience is.
I don't know what becoming a God means really. Is it another word for spiritual adult??? I don't know. One thing I do know is that God our Father will always be our Father and Jesus will always be our Savior no matter what we progress to. I was told once that God the Father was also a Savior. This helps me......because no matter what I do or what level I progress to, I will never beat that!
These are questions for the eternities. There are no cannonized scriptures teaching this. Our manuals don't dwell on it. And our lessons place it in its proper context if it is mentioned. And I don't blame you for being uncomfortable. I wasn't there so I don't know what was said exactly but if you felt weird....that is ok. This is not a doctrine of salvation. It is something that some like to question and explore and who sometimes stumble because of their assumptions.
I am sorry that your H had to be there. Perhaps you could explain where doctrine ends and conjecture begins. That may help. And if the Spirit didn't support what this man said, chances are he departed from the true revealed parts.
