If the LDS organisations are led by God and Jesus, and God and Jesus is/are perfect,
then the organisations too, would be perfect, and if they were, there'd be no inequality, as all human beings are equal, and God is no respecter of persons.

And there certainly wouldn't be a need for changes in the ordinances and or organisational structure, as it would be perfect and not just evolving to suit the ever changing world in which we live in.

Get the Point/Goal?

yes, the point is quite clear - that many are called but few are chosen :biggrin:

No, I'm pointing out that the profile of the speakers at Conference still reflects an overwhelming dominance of white males.

I know I've asked this of you, before, Mktavish--but, what the hell does this mean?


It's where you assume that those mice and that pumpkin magically turned themselves into footmen and a carriage without the express consent of the General Authorities.

Equality at General Conference sounds wonderful. Wherever the greatest tread, let the least tread also with equal cadence. Wherever the greatest speak, let the least have equal voice since the Alpha will ultimately become the Omega.

(Even though it's plain to see the carriage is a fake! and the smoke obscures the view when the supposed magic happens.)

:sad:

Leave me be in my delusion, I am a good person, and the church I like many pay thousands annually into the church and in turn once they have excess over and above their commercial contracts
they provide bags of wheat with the church's name printed on the bags to the poorest people in the world.

We are good people!

Shatter?

Ballet is the pure evidence of the existence of Cinderella.
And the Nutcracker (!).

And that women may transform from and to swans.
