bluebell Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Does anyone know why they don't stream the session or show it on T.V. like they do the General Relief Society Meeting?
MorningStar Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I think it's to force them to be social so they won't stay home and listen to it.
MorningStar Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 You can listen to it pretty much right after it's over. 1
LDSToronto Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Because it's only for priesthood holders. Edit: Actually, no, that's not true... all males older than 12 are invited. One doesn't have to hold the priesthood to attend. Edited April 1, 2012 by LDSToronto
MorningStar Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 And the women's session is only for women, but they broadcast it live. I can listen to it at home and not go to the building. The men don't have that option.

The men don't have that option.That's because the Priesthood is organized into quorums. Women do not belong to quorums.H.

bluebell Posted April 1, 2012 Author Posted April 1, 2012 I'm thinking Toronto is just illustrating the idea that there is no good reason for it not to be watchable from home.
azlabguy Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Wish I knew the real reason. It doesn't make sense.
Stargazer Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I can't tell you the reason, because I don't know it, but there appears to be a policy that sisters do not attend priesthood meeting. No problem with sisters watching it afterwards, but not at the same time.Once in our stake the only members who could do simultaneous American Sign Language interpretation were sisters. In one stake conference that had a GA attending, there was a sister doing the Ameslan interpretation. After the meeting, the GA told the stake pres that while he was grateful for her service, it was necessary to have some brethren trained in Ameslan and use them during priesthood meeting.It can't be because they talk about things there that sisters shouldn't hear, because that which is discussed isn't secret at all. And as you know, the weekly lessons for both PH and RS are from the same manual. My guess is that men find women to be highly interesting, and presence of one causes us to go fruity. Or at least get distracted.I'm fruity all the time, though. It couldn't be because of me.
LDSToronto Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 And that means they can't broadcast it live because .......?Because women are prohibited from attending quorum meetings.H.
Cobalt-70 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Because women are prohibited from attending quorum meetings.H.Does that mean that men are allowed to attend Relief Society meetings? If so, then I might consider switching. Edited April 1, 2012 by Cobalt-70 1
KevinG Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Because women are prohibited from attending quorum meetings.H.CFR
Duncan Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I miseed priesthood session...so i will have to catch it when it comes out
rpn Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Or maybe it was simply that priesthood shouldn't be so lame as to have no one interested in learning ASL to serve their own quorum brethern.
LDSToronto Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 CFRMy experience - I've seen two stake presidents ask sisters to leave priesthood meetings. I've also seen letters that were issued to the stake presidency in the past 8 years that said sisters were not to attend priesthood meetings, including opening exercises. I can not produce this letter because I don't have a copy.H.
The Nehor Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I wish they had. My stake borked it up by only broadcasting it in one building in the stake. There ended up being no parking left and we had over a hundred cars in the surrounding neighborhood parked on the streets and no place left to put a chair as all of the overflow and the stage were taken. I luckily remembered that there was a speaker and a bunch of really comfortable chairs outside the stake president's office.
BCSpace Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I think it's to force them to be social so they won't stay home and listen to it. "They" is kinda like "you people" in this case.
blooit Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 I know that it would not have nearly the meaning to me on television. Something special going to priesthood session.I can also tell you that in my humble opinion, brethren will typically not hold relief society meeting over women's head as well as the sister may over the brethren. Flame me if you will, but that's my limited experience. 1
The Nehor Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Oddness. They put Priesthood on lds.org. I have never seen them do this before. I'm going to assume they knew I missed the first half. Thanks LDS web people. The gesture is appreciated.
Messenger Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Wish I knew the real reason. It doesn't make sense.Tradition .... Probably! LOL
