Re: Gender inequality is alive and well at General Conference.
What about the gender inequality in the time of Jesus, huh? Are you gonna talk about that, social justice warrior? Why don't you ever talk about them?

Here's our friend and colleague Daniel C Peterson making just that argument on his wildly popular 5 star blog, Sic et Non!

Daniel 'C is for Cookie' Peterson wrote:As we reported in this newspapyrus three months ago, the controversial preacher from Nazareth known as Rabbi Yeshua recently established his headquarters in the poor, rustic, and largely uneducated Galilean fishing town of Capernaum. Now, in a further development, he has announced his choice of twelve leaders to head up a new religious organization intended to propagate his views.
Response from critics to those chosen, however, has ranged from disappointment to mocking dismissal and even indignant anger.
“The ‘apostles,’ as they’re being called, are virtually all backwater Galileans like Yeshua himself,” observed Caiphas of Jerusalem. “He missed a real opportunity with these choices.” “Where’s the diversity?” asked Bar Kosiba, a prominent authority on new religious movements. “Shouldn’t these men, who are supposed to direct international missionary efforts for the Yeshua operation, look like their intended audience? This strikes me as an absolutely epic fail. At the very least, Yeshua’s choices represent a striking lack of imagination on his part.”

30 to 2, just wow. But then, it is nothing but a giant wealthy men's club for formerly successful businessmen running one of the richest corporations on the planet.
Re: Gender inequality is alive and well at General Conference.
This is the same Daniel Peterson who also makes the argument in defence of Joseph Smith etc that you must consider a persons actions within the context of their day - which inconveniently for Five Star Daniel, applies forwards as well as backwards on the timeline. He must therefore agree (assuming intellectual honesty is a thing he values) that we should view the gender inequality at the 2022 General Conference in the context of 2022 human society, rather than 20AD.drumdude wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 7:02 pmHere's our friend and colleague Daniel C Peterson making just that argument on his wildly popular 5 star blog, Sic et Non!

Re: Gender inequality is alive and well at General Conference.
Careful there IHAQ. It almost sounds like you want apologists to be consistent and not just grab at any mutually contradictory arguments within reach to defend their corporation…
