If there is a Heavenly Mother, why does she play no role

Would you really want women passing the sacrament. The way they pick each other apart over their clothes and hairstyle, I wouldn't want them watching who was and wasn't taking it. I don't think the men would love being bossed around in ward counsel by a woman...neither would I for that matter. It just doesn't work that way. I don't know why this is a big deal. I like men that are take charge make it happen. I figure the church gives them good practice. I don't women really need to be like that. I like men that have a very take charge attitude, the accept input, and are open to advice from others, but then step up and make things happen. I don't think I'm brainwashed for feeling that way either.

If you ever want to confess your chastity issues here, that is just as good as any bishop. Requiem's dad was a SP and Tex wants to be a Bishop so bad his teeth hurt, so that has gotta count for something.

I'd never want to be a Bishop. Power/time spent ratio is way too high. I'd much rather be Prophet, where I can excommunicate people indiscriminately according to my whim. If you're going to slander me, go big!

I don't know. I think you would all want a play by play of exactly what happened, when, where and with who. I don't have anything to confess right now, but I've noted that this forum is an option. I'll keep it in mind. I guess you never can tell, I might end up a fornicator before the year is out. Not likely, but in theory it's possible.

If you're going into details a few photos or videos wouldn't hurt. We might not be able to understand exactly what you mean without more evidence.

You might be one right now, it could explain the relative calm of your demeanor...others of the Sisters in Zion on the other hand......

This is true, I could be. I'm not though.

I can remain calm on this particular issue because I determined a long time ago that regardless of what anyone in or out of the church says, and regardless of how few times women are mentioned in the scriptures, I am not a second class citizen.

As to the original question about a Heavenly Mother. I think there is more than one. I can't imagine a loving husband allowing his wife to come under the kind of ridicule and disrespect from her offspring that would undoubtedly be afflicted on her if she were to be discussed in any detail. I believe that our Father in Heaven was chivalrous enough to spare our mother(s) that offense.

BDB, I would make sure there was no undue heavy handedness by the religious extremists and zealots here. You could expect a humanely secular humanistic assessment from me. I would, however, need to understand the facts in detail. You could boardmail me to ensure privacy.

Okay, we're moving further and further away from kind of funny, and closer into the creepy zone.
