Yes, it is. One of the guys who left the Church over same gender attraction. Glad to see he has a new bag now.

Mothers are quickly becoming an endangered species, hunted down by liberal idiots who are so short sighted they can't see the longstandign benefits of a woman in the home rearing good children.

What this woman said should be placed under the windshield wiper of every woman dropping her kids off at a day care center.

GAG. And I'm sure you're one of those Mormons who thinks that women are responsible for a mans sexuality. They are walking pornography for Christ's sake.

How about we just put burkas on them Gaz and forbid them from coming out of the home?

Of course I'm sure by the same token with you that if we took the "Mormon Equation" out of it, suddenly they wouldn't be rearing good children anymore, right? Because, of course, being Mormon is the key to it all, really.

Oh great. Yet another return of Infymus.

Are you going to wait a few days to fly off the handle this time or will you just do it from the get-go, followed by the expected promise to leave and never return?

I never left Merc. I simply decided the conversation wasn't worth any more of my time.

Fair enough. Frankly you need to stick around and comment more.

Well, what I was supposed to feel and what I actually felt were two completely opposite things. :-)

Hi thestyleguy, perhaps I'm being silly... but that sort of embarrasses me. :)

Really.

I'm sorry! I just saw other people's reactions on another thread that I posted on and didn't try to be mean or embarrass you. I'm often very naïve and sometimes just plain stupid. I apologize.

Oh thank you for your apology. I don't think you're stupid! Not at all... I'm just having issues right now and feel rather sensitive. I know you didn't intend to embarrass me or be mean. It's okay. :)

Distortion? Not even. When was the last time we saw a woman called as apostle? Oh yeah... Never. When was the last time we saw a woman called as bishop? Oh yeah... Never. When was the last time a woman had decision making power, without having to ask a man if the decision was okay? Oh yeah... Never.

What is the #1 job of women, according to the church? As mothers. What is the #1 job of men, according to the church? As providers. Not as fathers... as providers. The family doesn't mean zip, when it comes to fathers. That women could also provide is ignored; that men can also nurture is ignored. The church is stuck in a timewarp regarding the gender roles, and I count my lucky stars that my own situation is NOT the Mormon norm. I'd go nuts. I did go nuts, when I was in it for 20 years, but that over now, and I never advise my girls (whether my own or my daughters in law) to stay at home if they don't want to.

What other jobs are women supposed to do? Maid, Cook, Dishwasher, Janitor, Chauffer, teacher of children and other women, leader of children and other women, etc. Anything that doesn't require leadership over men. A woman will never lead a ward, lead a counsel, or lead the church. That alone tells me exactly how much the church values the input of women: exactly zippo.
