I suppose you are trying to be funny, but you make no sense. If women did not wear pants in Church (which I am guessing most don't) why would this help attendance?

I have just been informed that women in liberal wards outside of Utah wear pants to church all the time. So Tobin's comment is irrelevant. Church attendance in California would be even lower if such ridiculous standards were applied there.

In Helaman 6:39, we see the Badmintons, so similar to Skousenite Mormons, taking over the government and abusing the rights of many.

Just Me, I figured this was how his mind was working, but his thought was not a direction I wanted to travel! :lol:

On the serious side, I just do not get why anyone cares? I have attended many other Churches in my life, and not one has cared if a woman wears slacks, or levi's, or skinny pants. Is this purely a Mormon thing? Is Mormonism so backwards that it cares what a person wears to Church?

I realize my words are rhetoric, but I am shocked that people give a damn about this issue? It makes no sense to me.

Actually, I was referring to the quote below:

This is up to them. They're free to choose whatever they want. The Lord will accept them with pants or with no pants.


It would help if some of you would actually read the thread sometime.

Yeah, rhetorical or not, the church is about control and conformity.

Ahhhhh, Mormon Jesus at his/her/its best. What is he/she/it concentrating on teaching the Child'n of Mormon Man god? Global Warming, nah. Starving Children around the World, nah. Democrat in the White House, nah. Increasing Secularism in the World, nah. Greedy Corporations, nah.

Women in Pants at Church. Must be a sign of the times.

MB,

This really is the crux of the matter. For years I was able to rationalize that it was one of the fifteen who had gone rogue and come up with hateful ideas or teachings, that as a whole, they were great and loving men. Then I learned that never does one of the fifteen (last seventy years) do something that the rest do not approve. When Packer or McConkie go after people, they did/do it with the approval of the fifteen.

Then it all came tumbling down and I realized these guys are fifty or more years behind on every social issue as a collective body. They are not leaders, they are not prophets, they are not reformers, they are just a bunch of old men who want to keep their world as Pleasantville.

Actually....[tapping finger on chin] the cotton style with lace trim? Yeah, that could be nice, depending on the rest of the ensemble. Maybe a drawing?

It looks like the Facebook group is down. The event admins are saying it wasn't them.
If I had to guess it was probably reported as a hate group.
