That's the part that stands out to me. My reaction is definitely "who cares". But then I think "Why the eff did they care about that?""It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."

Seriously?! Can you even imagine what sort of crazy ideas the sisters would come up with if there was even a shred of evidence that their little biannual get together was on par with a gathering of the holy priesthood?! It would take a lot of love courts to set that record straight.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI saw this yesterday and apparently the church have an explanation for it, which explanation was kind of ridiculous. Makes me wonder why they would go to so much trouble to edit the prayer. It's a meaningless edit. You'd think the correlation committee has bigger things to worry about.I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

It is evidently very important to the brethren that the women know their place.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI saw this yesterday and apparently the church have an explanation for it, which explanation was kind of ridiculous.

This article is so bad that I thought it could pass as an onion article.there's probably no greater evidence of inquality in the church then articles like written by the women of mormon women stand.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Because men who could have overruled her chose to agree with her, there is no inequality between her and the deciding authority. I'll make sure to test the limits of that argument next time I'm in court. I may need to pack a toothbrush, though.

When someone has to vigorously argue that there is no gender inequality, that's a good sign that there is."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

A good litmus test for gender inequality is the gender of who comes calling when you start complaining about gender inequality.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostWhen someone has to vigorously argue that there is no gender inequality, that's a good sign that there is.I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

Really? I feel like we would find this stuff ridiculous whether they were men or women.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View PostA good litmus test for gender inequality is the gender of who comes calling when you start complaining about gender inequality.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

Hmm. Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention, but I feel like there are a bunch of men and women in both camps.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View PostI was referring to more of the formal response i.e. Discipline and the Kate Kelly process.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

So how many of these are true and how many are an indicator of gender equality?Originally posted by Moliere View PostAnother good one:

I'm thinking the following are false:
3 - There are different questions asked to men in the TR interview - specifically if they attend their priesthood meetings.
4 - Women make some different covenants. In fact the minor difference of the person they covenant to obey makes this argument kind of ridiculous
6 - Men have different commandments in that they must attend Priesthood meetings. In fact, it's in the temple recommend questions as noted in #3 above. If you want to take it even more orthodox, men have the commandment to home teach and provide for their families.....but I think that's getting a bit too petty.
10 - What an odd and false statement. It's like asking someone to bear their testimony as a way to strengthen their testimony. This one would have been better if the author had advocated that women record their voices into a tape recorded as they constantly say "I am equal to men" and they could play it over and over.
As for indicators of gender equality I'm thinking only the following are good indicators: #1, 7, 8 (however this one is really ridiculous), and maybe 9 (but they'll spend it pumping out spirit babies
)
It's really sad that the church quasi-endorses this group as they are nothing but self-affirming the belief in a benevolent patriarchy.....whcih they are confusing with equaliy. I'd post something to retort this stuff on their FB page but I'm sure it would be deleted as any and all such comments on the above graphic were deleted."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
