Elder Packer taught that men are and ought to be dominant over women. I'll find the quote.

That was meant to prove something?

(Since this is starting to hijack ... maybe you should start a new thread if you really want to discuss it.)

You're right Tex. We should discuss in another thread whether "dominant" means "superior".

I think the definitions are very similar. They both mean "elevated" and "higher".

You were sure quick to pounce on what you considered false doctrine. Of course these days, I don't hear GAs saying it is the natural order for the man to be dominant, although we do get a strain of that when we hear that men should make decisions in consultation with women and children.

When men are expected to hold virtually all positions of leadership, and are expected to be the final word in group decisions, it's hard to argue that men are not dominant and superior, when you are an outsider looking in.

Ok, done with subject.

I think what Packer meant and what you are implying are different things.
