Amazingly done. This sends a powerful message. I only now have to ask myself how I didn't see this kind of damaging language/messaging until so late in my life. 12/15/2014 05:58:46 am
Andy, thank you so much for taking the time to watch, and a special thank you for commenting here. It means a lot to me.

Wow. Someone just shared this in a private FB group. I can't decide if I want to punch someone (A MAN) in the face or roll on the floor laugh-crying. It's so sad to think of how many years I listened to those voices and how they influenced my thinking. It's disgusting. Your blog is beautiful, by the way! I like the piece you did on your parents sealing. Very powerful. 12/15/2014 07:07:32 am
Joi, thank you so much! And (as you might guess) I have similar feelings. It is so hard to reconcile some of this, but I guess this is my way of trying. Thanks again! 12/16/2014 04:24:53 am
Hi Nicole. Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your comments. This is my way of responding to the question, "Sexism in the church? What sexism? What are you talking about? You're just sensitive."

This is brilliant. I've never found anything that represents so perfectly what it felt like to be a female raised in the church. It has taken me years to do undo the damage that messages like this left on my psyche. Thank you! 12/16/2014 06:43:22 am
Kate, thank you so much for watching. I'm not happy you've had the damage, but it does feel nice to know I am not alone!
My favorite part and I quote “Some sisters indicate that they do not want to consider marriage until after they have completed their degrees, or pursued a career, this is not right” 12/16/2014 10:42:17 am
Kris, thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. My website has never seen so much action! :)

I think this is why, after I did what they asked at great cost, I felt so depressed when CES decided that they would employ women with the reasoning that 'families can decide what's best for them, with regard to women working outside the home'. I'm glad they did, but for the rest of us that took the church seriously against our better judgement, there are no reparations. 12/16/2014 10:44:31 am
Naomi, my heart goes out to you. My mother started working as a nurse after my parents divorced. She would feel such guilt every time anything ever went "wrong" with me... thinking it was her fault because she was not home with me. It breaks my heart that someone so wonderful would feel anything less than amazing. Anyway, thank you for watching and for commenting. I appreciate it so much.

I was just watching this with Maud and when she saw Spencer W. she said, "That looks like you, Mama!" AHHHHH! 12/17/2014 09:04:11 am
Hahaha, oh my gosh!!!! I can ASSURE you, you look/sound nothing at all like SWK. <3 <3 12/18/2014 03:39:32 pm
That was some great editing.... 12/18/2014 03:56:25 pm
The PDF of your source material is nice, but it would be much better if you had the time, the Minutes:Seconds, into the talk that the statement was taken. 12/19/2014 02:45:42 am
Hi Perry! Thanks for watching. If you are curious about particular phrases, I suggest going to the talks of the person speaking and doing a text search for the words. You can find them quite easily (hold down CTRL + "F" for a search or Edit-->"Find" on your menu). You can also find most of them by doing a text search on LDS.org.

Even if they might have been cut short for humor, the message was really clear. I have enjoyed re posting! Thanks again Colleen.

Wow brings back memories of when I was 21 years old and my boyfriend and I got turned into the Bishop for not being so "chaste". At the church court I was disfellowshipped from the church but they didn't do anything to my boyfriend. They explained to me that they did this because it was my fault. I was the woman and had too much influence and he could not control his physical responses as well as I could. WTF! OK that just shows the mentality of the priesthood men in the Mormon church! 1/24/2015 03:24:54 pm
Oh, Anna. Thank you so much for sharing your story--I absolutely hate that this happened to you. I wish I couldn't relate, but I can, unfortunately. My heart is with you. Thank you for watching. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
