Try reading this again Droopy. It it the view of these young women that I am sharing. Here it is. Read real slow this time:
Well fast forward to today. All three of them wonder if they have worth in God's eyes beyond wife and mother. All three want to pursue careers. My oldest has 30 year old friends who all cringe at the misogynistic patriarchy of the Church (past and still present).
I read it real slow the first time, and the way you phrased it here implies explicit identity of agreement with their views.
They tire of the oft repeated message of wife and mother being their main job and the culture that paints those who differ as apostate. They would love to have more opportunities to lead.
And again the denigration and trivialization of the role of wife, mother, and "homemaker" and the entire argument flowing from the assumption that church callings, spiritual leadership, and the divine calling of both father and mother (and governance within the Church) are about competing power relations between men and woman and official ecclesiastic status within the Church.
I am starting to agree with most here that you are incapable of serious discussion. Anytime someone disagrees with you you fly of into your paragraph length sentences that end up meaning nothing other than some far right uber conservative rant.
I rest my case. You are too far gone, and life is far too short.
I am starting to perhaps agree with Kevin Graham about your intellect and you ability to comprehend. I never did anything of the sorts.
Yes, you have. Its called "sentences" and "paragraphs." The fact that you are so unaware of the philosophical/logical implications of what you write and the impressions you create through the language you use is utterly astounding.
And by the way I personally have no problem if a woman chooses a different path than what the Church teaches. Personally I still believe that marriage is very important and when children come one parent at least should be in the home and typically the mother is the best choice though not always. But I honor peoples choices to work through their own paths and desires with out heaping loads of guilt on them. Here is the rest of what I said. Try responding like and adult otherwise don't bother.
And now you back-peddle - furiously - once called out. This is, again, typical and true to type (there are many others here of similar persuasion.
These are not aberrations Droopy. They are what women of our generation to some extent, really want. Certainly the generation behind us want such things even more so.
Do you dispute this Droopy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OagFIQMs1twThat is why I asked before what does the Church do with a Brooks. You view her and those like her as the tares. Maybe so. But there are a lot more tares then coming up in this next generation that shouted hurrah when Julie Beck (who took a very hard line about a woman's role in the Church) was released at the last conference.
Then there are other churches, other belief systems, and other paths to walk. The Church is Christ's, not theirs.
