If a female tried to get into the priesthood session of GC...

You aren't listening to Dallin Oaks, cougjunkie, and the guy in Sooner's Youtube. They want people like you urging evolution and reform the hell out of the LDS church. It's turning inward. It's radicalizing and playing small ball.

I haven't listened to conference in years, but the fact that caffeinated beverages are available for purchase on BYU campus stands in stark contrast to this claim.

Bro. Why aren't you listening to conference? It's a great way to build your testimony and increase your faith.

Kind of lame.....but the signature at the end was hilarious (they should have put "age 7" after the signature to make it funnier)

I thought the map of the free speech zones was rather funny...

When did that start? It was all supposed to be caffeine-free when I was there. Some chick even freaked out when she got a Barq's root beer from the vending machine, looked at the ingredients, and discovered that they had inadvertently stocked it with the caffeinated version. They came back and replaced the offending root beer.

There’s another reason the priesthood debate is different for Mormons than, say, for Catholics. The women who marched to Temple Square last weekend weren’t asking for the right to join a special society of highly trained elders. In the LDS Church, priesthood power is not held by career bishops, reverends and high-ranking officials. Boys are allowed to receive the priesthood at age 12—yes, 12. Little Bennie, the rascal who lives around the corner, has more power in the Church than the wisest older woman.

It’s a nuance that news outlets typically fail to make clear in their “Mormon women seek ordination” headlines. Priesthood-for-women supporters are asking for certain spiritual privileges that only men have. They want to be allowed to bless their children when they’re sick or need counsel. They also simply want equal footing with their seventh-grade sons.

It is actually a very fair and even handed article.

I thought so as well.

Nah.

What wasn't fair about it? Honest question.

For starters, that's far from how it is. The author talks of nuance, and then totally misses it.

Evidence of ignorance? Knowing sensationalism? Lazy journalism?

The title, for one. "What Mormon Women Want"? More like "What One Out of Ten Mormon Women Want." The Women's meeting from the week before doesn't get even a mention, unless I missed it somewhere-- surely that was relevant to the discussion. And in what world does anybody believe that a Mormon woman is subordinate to her seventh-grade son or little Benny around the corner? I'm all for a discussion on the role of women in Mormon society, but my goodness, let's start with what the role of women actually is.

In terms of priesthood, a Mormon women is absolutely subordinate. If a Mormon woman can have a prominent role in Mormon society without holding the priesthood, doesn't that diminish the importance of the priesthood in Mormon society?

Really? You guys are hilarious. A young man has the Priesthood and has the opportunity to serve in and lead the ward in ways that his mother cannot. That's a fact.

Say an LDS Ward met for a meeting and there were no High Priests, Elders, Priests, or Teachers present. Would the Relief Society President preside or would a Deacon preside? Can somebody ask DHO? I'm pretty sure I know what his answer would be.

Even the Relief Society President in a ward is just an appendage to the Priesthood. Her 12-year old son IS the Priesthood. You must have the Priesthood to preside over any Church meeting. Correct me if I'm wrong.
