I don't think we should hope for singles, divorce(e)s, etc in leadership positions on marital status alone. But, having folks with different life trajectories in such these positions will go a long way, I think, in shading in some grays to the way we run things in our Church. At the very least, it goes to show members that non-marriage may be a valid state, too.aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433827353031591799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22933663.post-43735278806243562312007-10-04T07:30:00.000-06:002007-10-04T07:30:00.000-06:00First of all, that crazy Judith lady is right abou...First of all, that crazy Judith lady is right about a few things, but too self-righteous about a few too many others. And I have a hard time getting past my memory of the time I met her and she was incredibly rude to me about my clothes.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, Petra, should we really all be hoping to have or be divorce bishops or single RS presidents? I hope marital status doesn't define us quite that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22933663.post-60024017396656191572007-10-02T16:29:00.000-06:002007-10-02T16:29:00.000-06:00Those interpretations of why the Church is focusin...Those interpretations of why the Church is focusing on gays are just about the most cynical things I've heard--I hesitate to say ever--in a long time. I <I>really</I> hope you're wrong on those counts. <BR/><BR/>I, personally, would like to believe it's because the Church is realizing what to do about the gays is a problem, and a big one, that has not been resolved in a satisfactory way in the past (quite the opposite) and is trying to do so. The most current answer isn't optimal, but it's certainly better than, say, shock therapy. <BR/><BR/>By the way, my aunt, a single sister who has succeeded in the business world, is the RS president in her ward, and my current bishop is a divorced man. (Remarried, of course, but still. And his wife is previously divorced, too.) So there's hope yet.Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454911336796743360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22933663.post-70949656326598842472007-10-02T08:32:00.000-06:002007-10-02T08:32:00.000-06:00Jacob- I know I do!Jennifer- What troubles me abou...Jacob- I know I do!<BR/><BR/>Jennifer- What troubles me about this piece is statements such as the one that casual Friday is evil and there are designers "who are in the process of undoing what was done beautifully, harmoniously in decades past". Chronological snobbery, anyone?<BR/><BR/>Also, the advice here reinforces the notions of prejudging based on clothing. I can see the value of being modest and it is a principle I believe in, but to go into this sort of detail as to what is and is not appropriate is neither helpful nor necessary in most cases.aleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433827353031591799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22933663.post-1122908202963675312007-10-01T22:22:00.000-06:002007-10-01T22:22:00.000-06:00We take care of our cars, our toys and our scrapbo...We take care of our cars, our toys and our scrapbooks.

I used to live in a neighborhood where several families were Muslim. It was amusing to me to consider that by Muslim standards Mormon women dress like sluts. Muslim dress codes, like Larry-Boy's superhero suit, are so restrictive!!<BR/><BR/>JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
