A Well-Behaved Mormon Woman: Thank You, Jesus! LDS Church Responds to Ordain Wo...: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been put in the unfortunate situation of having to, twice now, use strong measure...
Here is my own response to Ordain Women:
The real questions for OW are: “Do you believe The Church and The Priesthood is Christ’s and has been restored by Him to the earth? Do you believe He has called the current prophet and apostles to lead His church today?” If the answer is yes, the logical course would then be to work beside them, to support and to sustain them. It would be to put your shoulder to the wheel and push along. The duty of a woman imbued with such knowledge is clear to her.
If the answer is no, the logical course is either to move on to where you see greener pasture, or to attempt to usurp what you see as power and authority and wealth as your own.
There are women who have truly been abused, neglected, and mistreated. However, their wounds cannot be healed by receiving ordination to the priesthood.
We live in a day when everyone feels they have a right to whatever they want. “I want” regardless of the consequences has truly become the sin of our day. We look not at how what we want will impact the whole of the universe, but at how we think it will make us feel better about ourselves, more important in the eyes of others, more valuable, more happy, more. We are all wanting something more. OW is simply wanting more. And demanding it from the messengers of The Lord isn’t going to get it for them, but it will make the church look to others as they are hoping to make it look. From the great and spacious building we hear their voices scoffing at the traditions of The Lord’s covenant people, making a mockery of things which should be sacred, and, when all else fails the age-old accusation will inevitable rear it’s ugly head. Since there is no reproach to be found, except with men, they will simply cry, “Liar!. You have taken what was rightfully ours!"
