For example, the Relief Society, which the essay tries to imply is equal to the Priesthood, was created by Joseph Smith. And any authority the essay claims the Relief Society has is delegated to it by men who hold the priesthood. The women in leadership positions of the church are still called and set apart only by men.<br /><br />And similarly, the best lip service to motherhood found in the LDS hymn book is in a song entitled "O My Father."Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724409661360473452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172451149432147710.post-20683092743685142032015-10-31T12:02:39.935-04:002015-10-31T12:02:39.935-04:00Last Mother's Day in my ward, the opening hymn...Last Mother's Day in my ward, the opening hymn was O My Father. It's the only hymn in the entire LDS hymn book that mentions mothers, and that's just a speculation that if there's a father it only stands to reason there would be a mother. Women are only valued in the LDS Church, because they have a womb.NearKolobitenoreply@blogger.com
