Commentary: Mormon Women Have a New Heaven
Excellent article by Bridget Jack Jeffries in today's Salt Lake Tribune. I'm grateful that God finally decided on January 1, 2019 that Mormon heaven needed to be more equal. Cheers to the new Mormon heaven!! Who knows what other changes God will decide to make:

I'm glad you enjoyed my op-ed.

No question about that. But Mormon women have come a long ways since the days of polygamy.

Re: Commentary: Mormon Women Have a New Heaven
Are men still expected to resurrect their wives?)
MsJack,
Can you fill in a little more background on this?
TIA

Man alive, I didn't know women had daggers in the temple. First I've heard of this.

MsJack:
I enjoyed the oped. It's about time the Mormon master changed the arbitrary rules to bring in a little more equality. I wouldn't hold my breath on allowing women to be sealed to more than one man, though. I suspect there might have been some kicking and screaming regarding the current changes and not wanting to be seen as giving in to those devilish agitators from ordain women. Also, Nelson is advanced in age and probably can only handle so much movement to the left and away from the golden age of 1950's conservatism.
