I think woman ordination is inevitable, and it has nothing to do with spirituality, it has to do with the ratio of women college graduates to men. 60% of graduates are women.

It seemed good to the Holy Ghost, so we decided to send the letter out to all stakes, wards, and auxiliaries heralding this momentous development in the fullness of times. The restoration is ongoing, Brothers and Sisters, and the Lord has granted us our humble, longsuffering petition to recognize and bless all loving unions among our brothers and sisters. We are so blessed to be lead by a living prophet who communes with the Lord and cannot lead us astray."
That will be the day that I ask my Rottweiler be sealed to me. He is more worthy that some people I know. ;)

(Of course, I would need to ask my husband if he minds sharing a union with me and the "bucket-head"

I never really associated priesthood ordination with a college education.

💯 It is happening on purpose.
💯 Gay marriages and sealings will happen in the temple.
a few years ago, I wouldn't have ever believed that. Now... it's hard to not see it in the works.
The final nail in the coffin was driven when the church joined the fight against prop 8. If they would have adopted a universal "sealings only" policy and given up ecclesiastical marriage rights we would have avoided this eventuality.

The Church never fought against Prop 8. The Church supported Prop 8. Prop 8 was a state constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage in California. Prop 8 was successful and was passed in 2008. Ir was eventually overturned and deemed unconstitutional.

My error, I meant supporting prop 8.

Unless they reincorporate as a for prophet MLM.

I am pretty sure they will have to at least marry same sex couples.

Sealings are a real possibility.

A 5O1(c)3 must follow the lead of the reigning sovereign.

I think the lord is making them show their true colors.

Strange work, strange act.
