MustardSeed Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 4 hours ago, JLHPROF said: My doctrinal belief - Priesthood is an eternal order with specific offices and callings, limitations and restrictions of office, potentially originating in premortality. Ordination to offices like Deacon, Teacher, Priest, Elder, High Priest, Apostle aren't given to women not because God doesn't currently authorize it, but because they are literally not able to hold these offices. God himself actually can't authorize it, any more than he could approve of adultery. Certain offices and callings are axiomatically male and certain ones are female, not discretionary. There are priesthood offices women can and do hold. But you can no more ordain a woman a Bishop than you can ordain a man a Queen and Priestess. It simply doesn't work. I believe in this in a way. I also believe there are positions a woman can hold that have not been considered or created yet because humans can't fathom anything but a patriarchy. Even many women, for that matter, cannot fathom it. IMO. no CFR to offer. 4

I believe that there are offices for women, but that they are limited to the higher temple order, not to the lower Church administrative order. I believe that Queen, Priestess, Matriarch, and Eve are all offices, just like Heavenly Mother. But I do not believe there are priesthood offices to be revealed for the Church for women. In the same way I'd like to see Mother's blessings brought back. It goes back to the various orders of Priesthood that Joseph taught on. He specified three. In my opinion only the highest connected with eternity, the fullness of priesthood will feature female ordinations. Those offices related to this fallen earth will not. Edited June 9, 2021 by JLHPROF

My brother says in Singapore if they traveled, they would have to stay in the assigned hotel, stay put in the not particularly great room and would not even be able to open the windows. And it would cost them several thousand dollars to pay for it.

But 104 hours/week shakes out to a hair under fifteen hours per day, seven days a week. Or seventeen and a half hours per day, if you give them an “off” day once a week. It’s not impossible, of course; but I find it highly unlikely—especially given the Church’s emphasis on family life and work-life balance. With all due respect and admiration, my money would be on the “104 hours” figure being the result of a miscommunication. If you remove having to do maintenance and other home care assuming they have people taking care of that for them, count travel time which may include when they sleep (overnight plane trips or naps in the back seat) or doing work on the phone, have a lot of business meetings while eating, and count personal study time as part of it since they probably are thinking about talks during that time, if not writing them, I see it as possible...but I hope he was pushing the high end of a work week when they are having to travel and not typical.

You suggested fortnightly meetings. How do you propose single members have the sacrament in the weeks not at church if not by asking / imposing on others? 2

Church leaders were not wrong. There was a time when it was right because women were mostly uninterested in what was being said in the Priesthood session. Also the general public would not understand nor care what was being said. Times change and interests change, so it was made more accessible to everyone. I think they were able to reach a bigger audience of priesthood holders with live broadcasts.

I've mentioned this before many times, but my branch in the Caribbean showed up en masse to watch both the priesthood session on Saturday night and the women's session the Saturday before (as it then was). Men, women, children all came together. When I asked about this, the response was, 'Why would you miss an opportunity to listen to the prophets?' I still quote Sherri Dew from the talk I heard her give in the women's session that year! Edited June 10, 2021 by Hamba Tuhan 3

And it's interesting that your leaders never thought they needed to prohibit women and children from being there. 1
