Should revelation be given to extend the priesthood to women, I'd be first in line to get my wife on the train. Until then, I'm perfectly happy with the status quo.

Is the priesthood the assignment, in effect, to administer ordinances, or is more along the lines of "the authority and power to act in the name of God"?
If the latter, then are we to say that women do not have the authority and power to act in the name of God? See, that makes no sense to me. Have we conflated the assignment to administer ordinances with leadership and governance? |

1. To administer the gospel 2. To hold the keys of the mysteries of the kingdom, and administer the corresponding ordinances Maybe you should spend less time posting and more time studing D&C 84.

I'm not sitting around waiting for women to be ordained. I'm living my life as best I can within the perameters that exist because I believe the gospel itself does not hinge on priesthood power. I think that last sentence it likely to be misunderstood or misinterpreted, but I put it out there nevertheless. When asked, however, I cannot embrace sexism. Being a woman is part of who I am but it does not define me, so I never like being defined by it. |

NO, he's not going to ban Tex. Like it or not, Tex is part of the fabric here, and banning him would alter the balance in the CG universe.
IMHO, the level of offense taken by each of you to Tex's input is directly commensurate with your level of insecurity. For example, in this instance, if MikeWalters didn't feel a flinch of insecurity about his level of understanding of the 84th Section of the D&C, he would not have felt the need to respond with, "...bye, bye Tex" Grow some skin people.

"...until (I) know something"? This much I do know after reading your posts for several months now, your self-absorbsion knows few bounds and you need to get off the horse that makes you the ultimate arbiter. The use of the pronouns "I" "me" and "my" in your posts is astounding.
