MorningStar Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just as women need to get our secret stuff from the Ensign or from lds.orgYep. Actually, Priesthood session video is usually available right after it's over. Link to comment
Kenngo1969 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Always good to know someone with firsthand knowledge...But it throws cold water on all of the conspiracy theorizing! Again, I wish no one would bore me or confuse me with actual facts, dang it! Link to comment
Stargazer Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You know, it just occurred to me that having women generally present in the Priesthood session would turn the meeting into a general session again, instead a session where the brethren are specifically addressed, as brethren, i.e. priesthood holders. But inviting specific sisters to speak at the meeting would not turn it into a general session; just as priesthood brethren speaking at RS session does not turn it into a general session. I imagine that if I decided to attend the RS session I might be politely invited to leave; and I see nothing wrong with that. Interestingly, at our last ward priesthood meeting, a member of the ward RS presidency made a few remarks, which I was unable to hear because I had to go take care of something. But she was there, and the roof didn't cave in or anything. Link to comment
David T Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Priesthood Session to be publicly broadcast live / online for first time. As part of a continued effort to make general conference proceedings more accessible to members around the globe, the priesthood session will be shown live for the first time through expanded channels, including LDS.org, the Mormon Channel and BYUtv.

David T Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Further: The women, who last week formally requested tickets to the Oct. 5 priesthood session, will not be admitted. “It is the hope of the church that the priesthood session will strengthen the men and young men including fathers and sons, and give them the opportunity to gather and receive instruction related to priesthood duties and responsibilities,” church spokeswoman Ruth Todd said Tuesday in a letter to the group, "much the same way parallel meetings are held for sisters, such as the general Relief Society meeting. "It’s for these reasons that tickets for the priesthood session are reserved for men and young men and we are unable to honor your request for tickets or admission." Todd also invited the women to “view the live priesthood session broadcast, as well as the other general conference sessions, on lds.org, The Mormon Channel or BYUtv.” This will be the first time the general priesthood session of LDS conference is broadcast live to a general television or Internet audience. In a pre-conference press release issued Tuesday, church officials indicated the live TV and Internet broadcast of the session is "part of a continued effort to make general conference proceedings more accessible to members around the globe."
