Why can't a man be primary president?

Good question.

Answer - because a man decided that he can't. And that same man can decide tomorrow to change it.

Also, who does the primary president answer to? A man. Who does the relief society president answer to? A man.

If Kate Kelly bugs you don't click, I just find her somewhat entertaining.

So singles wards could be considered death camps?

I'm really confused by this.

She just wants to be seen. She doesn’t mean any of it.

She’s an embarrassment in about 10 different ways including to lawyers, Women, Mormons, and ExMormons

Does Twitter hold contests to see who can tweet the stupidest things? Do they judge it by retweets or comments?

John Doe

1/23/19 4:27pm

the "ratio" is the best indicator. if it has very few retweets and likes in

riboflavin

1/23/19 4:31pm

So if they 'ratio' at about 1:1 they win the Twitterverse?

John Doe

She blocked me? Wow. Didn’t even notice.

Katie and I were close friends at BYU.

I'm sure she's a nice person. I'll continue to mock her online persona.

good perspective for those of us with our pitchforks out.

What if we don’t have “our pitchforks out”...

I do usually. It’s okay if you don’t.

I get it...

Her mom is Donna Kelly? I never made that connection. Yikes.

Yes

She may have been a wonderful person back then, but now she is a piece of crap.

Hate is hate. Her anger is not understandable.

thanks for defending the woman who just implied most Utah men want to kill women

It's unfortunate if this is an online persona.

Eddie

1/23/19 5:33pm

I agree with that.

lilpenny

She's like Ann Coulter... if Ann Coulter couldn't afford to buy herself a laptop

Well then, she went from wanting to influence change to wanting attention.

This is an interesting point, and not just for

It's sad that they never can remain in that everyone's advocate......

I hesitate to think of women’s equality as “out there.”

Jay Rick

1/23/19 8:02pm

They don’t have “the same rights as men”?

CoachSpeak

1/23/19 8:47pm

In the church? No. Obviously not. OW is church focused.

Jay Rick

1/23/19 9:13pm

Since when is doing a calling a "right"? It's a job, plain and simple.

RE: Since when is doing a calling a "right"? It's a job, plain and simple.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 2:42pm

I'm sure you think the "inequality" is based on the gender roles...

CoachSpeak

1/24/19 2:50pm

Some people oddly assign "prestige" to a calling

Richbyu

1/24/19 2:56pm

It's so true that people are individuals, not groups

Jay Rick

Why can't a man be a Primary President?

Richbyu

Why can't a man be primary president?

Jay Rick

"A man decided he can't."

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:15pm

RE: "A man decided he can't."

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:23pm

Not to side track but it is more prestigious to be Bishop.

Baron

1/24/19 3:16pm

Why?

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:17pm

Because he's in charge and gets to make the decisions.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:18pm

Sounds very "big deal'ish".

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:20pm

Really?

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:22pm

Prestige only exists if you think it exists.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:28pm

The fact that you don't care doesn't make it not prestigious.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:31pm

That’s a silly argument. If that were true each calling would go through the same scrutiny. Call me when a Primary

Baron

1/24/19 3:32pm

I repeat. Prestige only exists if you think it does.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:35pm

Some callings are more important and more prestigious. It is a fact.

Baron

1/24/19 3:37pm

Interesting. What if the gender restrictions were there to teach us that we

rcbyufan

1/24/19 3:44pm

What if gender restrictions are to teach us that being more prestigious doesn’t matter when serving the Lord.

Baron

1/24/19 3:52pm

Indeed.

rcbyufan

1/24/19 3:59pm

If it's a fact, prove it.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:47pm

Not individuals. Callings that are filled by people.

Baron

1/24/19 3:51pm

Just is. He is prayed for more, talked about more, does more, have responsibility, more sacrifices, holds keys, judges

Baron

1/24/19 3:23pm

And prestige is really only a small part of it. It's the authority that matters

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:26pm

Agree to Disagree.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:30pm

People are individuals and not groups?? Are you familiar with a pre-1978 temple

GSwarriorcoug

1/27/19 3:09pm

Yes. It's an obsolete policy---ended 40 years ago.

Richbyu

1/28/19 11:24am

The modern church... which still bans women, as a group, not as individuals

Jay Rick

1/28/19 12:47pm

As discussed, it also bans men from serving in a lot of callings.

Richbyu

1/28/19 12:53pm

Yes, men have banned themselves from those callings.

Jay Rick

1/28/19 12:59pm

Well if by "men" you mean "God"...

CoachSpeak

1/28/19 1:09pm

Yes, that’s sort of been my point throughout this whole discussion.

Jay Rick

1/28/19 1:37pm

Well authority is interesting in a situation like this...

CoachSpeak

1/28/19 5:03pm

Definitely. I like that insight.

Jay Rick

1/28/19 5:28pm

See I don't like the "banned" description....

CoachSpeak

1/28/19 1:06pm

Sure. I was just using the term commonly used to describe the race-based

Jay Rick

1/28/19 1:30pm

Not really

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:04pm

Wrong. Women DO preside over men.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:11pm

And who did that primary president answer to?

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:15pm

Dude, we all answer to a Male.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:18pm

RE: Dude, we all answer to a Male.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:21pm

I think you are going to continue to be frustrated by the structure, then.

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:33pm

Now we're sorta on the same page.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:43pm

Guess I'm not fulfilling my role as a male, then, since I don't have power

panguitch

1/24/19 7:14pm

I don't have power but I do have stewardship.

John Doe

1/24/19 7:39pm

I get that. Language often gets in the way.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 9:09pm

It's not about prestige. It's about structure.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:16pm

There are lots of "blessings" not everyone gets to experience.

Richbyu

1/24/19 2:52pm

I don't disagree.

Jay Rick

1/24/19 3:00pm

Men and Women are both categorically excluded from certain

Richbyu

1/24/19 3:07pm

You guys are missing the point. Kate Kelly is the worst
