Good idea?

[aynrandfreak]

I like Mormons generally, but I think he’s got to come up with better solutions than singling out a gender for action.

Kind of a misleading title. He didn’t “tell them” or command them (as the article puts it), he “invited” them.

That’s probably good advice for anybody who gets online every single day. Maybe it doesn’t have to be 10 days, but for a while.

When I stop making excuses and drive myself to a 24Fitness Gym, I’ve begun to turn my cell phone off and leave it in the car. I close the car door, and walk away, just like that! I have to remind myself that I don’t need it near me all the time. I’m not THAT important, that I need a Red Batphone always at the ready!

For some old fart to tell women what to do?

[sissyjane]

If he told men to stay off of social media as well, then I wouldn’t have a problem with it. This however is about as sexist as it comes. Not a fan.

[Secret Agent Man]

A real good idea would be forever.

Russell Nelson, the 94-year-old who became president of the church in January,

I'm generally not a fan of the doctrines and history of the LDS church, but it's kind a cool that they let a guy have the top job at 94. Most anyone who's ever had a parent or grandparent in their 90s will tell you that it's a very tough age to be. The overwhelming majority of 90-somethings are physically and/or mentally incapable of handling control of a large, international organization.

For your consideration, FRiends.

A [big] church elder calls for 10 days of darkness for his female congregants.

Maybe a good idea to back off social media for ten days. But only the chicks.

You women need to stop being informed. And socializing. And...stuff. According to the LDS/Mormon Church Elder.

He’s 94.

Does he Tweet? ;)

FReeQ on,

[ Good idea? ]

I would do it if he could guarantee me a planet to rule over after I kick the bucket on earth without having to wear the magical under wear.

I kinda like the idea of running my own planet, I think I would duplicate the earth only I would enforce a standing order to kill all communists and any religious cult resembling Islam.

But no planet, no mas

[RooRoobird20]

He should have told both the women and men to take a social media break. The fact that he was addressing the women only is very patronizing.

Unfortunately this strongly feeds the perception that Mormon women are regarded as being beneath men, their main purpose being banging out as many babies as possible.

[myerson]

This “prophet” is nutty as a fruitcake.
