Why didn't she-angels visit LDS prophets?

Post by _zeezrom »

Given that God wants women to have the priesthood and all, why didn't any resurrected woman visit the earth to pass her priesthood on?

Is it because God knew these crusty prophets (i.e. Joseph and Oliver) would not respect the female authorities? Was it because these guys simply weren't ready?

Does this mean a woman angel might come to earth to pass the female brand of priesthood on to some LDS woman?

I think Joseph Smith banged all the she-angels that visited him.

Thus the origins of the story about the flaming sword.

I wonder if Smith contracted syphilis through one of his plural wives? That might explain his increasingly erratic behavior later in life.

Do we automatically start thinking of sexual jokes when we hear about he-angels visiting women?

Would men be too distracted by attraction if visited by a she-angel?

In other words, is the human race too immature to handle powerful women?

I think the sexual jokes are more connected to Joseph Smith than to she-angles.

We don't have a verified revelation stating that any angel visiting Joseph regarding the higher priesthood. Perhaps that is why?

PS- the posts on this thread are funny to me too so when I say "we", I'm including myself.

SHHH! The Danites will go after you for that one.

Although I agree that it is a possibility.
