The only closed meeting nowadays is Priesthood session. Maybe Levi's aren't considered fornication pants anymore. Maybe that's an exampe of Brigham speaking as a man.
Priesthood session isn't a closed meeting. It gets published.

It is certainly is closed. I can't get in. Neither can your mother.
Closed doesn't mean not published. Even Brigham's meeting was published. Closed means only open to certain people. For all I know, that which is published later was changed from that which was delivered from the pulpit.

Then we're using a different definition of closed. I do not consider the Relief Society General Broadcast closed.

This'll be the case hundreds of years from now; religious nutcases will be frothing at the mouth over the same kinds of things predicting the fall of civilization.
BY was a religious nut and a megalomaniac nut to boot. Why does anyone in the 21st century give a s*** what this moron had to say?
Brigham certainly had his problems and ruled with an iron fist. But he was not a moron and he was fairly successful in settling the great basin of the USA as well as establishing the sect he led after Joseph Smith was killed. One could argue that he had more influence on what Mormonism is now then did Joseph Smith.
And Levi's jeans are the Only True Jeans for men. I know 'cause when they fit just right, my bosom heats up just a little. (Hey-- perhaps BY was on to something. Maybe they are fornication pants!)
That's nothing. Moniker is horny and luscious. You've just been aced.
The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance.

First of all, the Relief Society General Broadcast is rebroadcast to the public, normally several weeks after the initial broadcast. Priesthood is never broadcast to the public. Also, as a Priesthood holder, you could walk into a Relief Society meeting and/or broadcast, and no one would say a word to you for being there. I doubt a woman would fare as well in a priesthood meeting of any kind.

That depends, are you bringing in refreshments?
