According to a recent Facebook post by our beloved John Dehlin, Boyd Packer said in today's world-wide training broadcast:

"The most important thing for a woman in this life is to be the wife of a worthy priesthood holder and the mother of his children."

I'm waiting for the follow up:

"The most important thing for a man in this life is to be the husband of a worthy Relief Society member and the father of her children."

What is most important in life?

To crush the Little Factories before you and hear the lamentations of those naughty hands.

Hao! Dai ye!

It would be good to note the context of what Packer said:

We are sometimes charged with being unkind to the sisters in that they do not hold the priesthood and therefore do not hold the offices that the brethren do. But it is well understood that whether or not we are exalted depends upon the sister who is at our side—the wife, the mother of our children—and no holder of the priesthood would in any way depreciate or mitigate the value and power of his wife. When I hear those comments that the sisters are less than the brethren, I wish that they could see inside the heart of every worthy holder of the priesthood and understand how he feels about his wife, the mother of his children—a reverence, not quite worship but a kind of worship, a respect for the companion in life that causes it to be that he can be exalted ultimately.

........

That gives me a lot of comfort at my young age when we have been married for 65 years, and I think that could come to an end. Then I realize that the gospel is true, and it will never come to an end. I have been very careful, and am very careful, to treat my wife with that respect and reverence that is due her in performing that thing that is of most worth for a woman in this life to live the gospel, to be the wife and the mother of the children of a worthy holder of the priesthood.

I think Boyd-boy would consider the most important thing for a man in this life is to control his sexual urges by not masturbating and when married only perform the missionary position while in bed.

I think zeezrom and/or John Dehlin are lying as all anti Mormons are wont to do.

I for one was gratified to note Dallin H Oaks continue to support what the Church has said about it's own doctrine and refer to the Handbook as "Doctrinal" about 4:20 into his talk.

BC,

Your religion must be devoid of passion. That sucks.

Sucks to be caught again and again in a lie doesn't? I don't point it out much, but most of you are actively engaged in lying about the Church (the definition of anti Mormonism) and NONE of you is actively engaged in helping to "reform" the Church or "help" the members as is often the claim.

by the way, did Packer actually speak in this training session? I watched it myself and now I await your answer (zeez?)

President Packer spoke of the roles and responsibilities of priesthood holders in the Church by saying, “As a holder of the priesthood, we respond to every call that comes to perform every service that will come, the most important of which is within the walls of our home. The last few Presidents of the Church, conscious of what the adversary was doing, have centered their teaching, their preaching, on the home and the family. …

“Any elder holds as much priesthood as does the President of the Church or as I do as an Apostle—different offices. But the priesthood is not delegated out and parceled a little here and a little there. It is given all at once. In the ordinances where ordinations take place, the priesthood is conferred, and then the office is conferred.”
