Those who actually value the Priesthood -- i.e. believing Latter-day Saints -- disagree.

 

A lot of this was just humor..lighten up Russell!

There is no substantive comment worth making for the godfather's sidekick.

How about I try then.

PaPa, there are a lot of things that are uncomfortable in our ordinances (for me it is the veil over my face).  I have never heard a teaching that we should allow discomfort to get in the way of our service to God and to our fellowman as well as our own seeking out of God.

These reasons you are giving seem to me to only diminish the value of the ordinance as something that should not be wanted to be involved in simply because of minor discomfort.  There are better ways to answer the desire of women to have the Priesthood than to try and make it look like those who serve in it are having a rough time or get little out of it.

As far as calling witnesses last minute so it is no big deal, that seems to indicate a perception that women only desire to participate for the recognition and that is not what the majority of women who desire the priesthood or something like it are motivated by in my experience.  Plus just because it is a last minute consideration in many events does not mean that it should be treated that way.  Perhaps the men should be treating that part of the ordinance with more respect.

OK thanks, but I think it's not best to continue, at least for me to do so.

I am interested in any substantive comment you want to contribute, Russell.

Should you ever care to make one.

You put a lot more thought and effort into your TrailerPark posts than you do here.

Perhaps if the moderators here allowed me to start threads, you would observe a discernible difference.

And I find your reference to "TrailerPark" objectionable and in bad form.

Instead of whining about you being limited here, why don't you use more than 160 characters in your drive-by responses? Especially since you are asking others to be more substantive?

Objection and offense noted.

Would you prefer "the Sty?"

No, the place where the swine are most at home.

The infection on the eyelid is called a stye. Just so you know.

Thread closed.

My views are these: If the prophet Joshua could declare to the Israelites, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God," (Joshua 24:27), then women should be witnesses! 

Now who's willing to get behind me and be excommunicated, and to cut themselves off from all the blessings of the gospel to support this worthwhile organization??!

Anybody?

Anybody at all?
