Sevenbaks answer: Women say prayers all the time in Sacrament meeting. The blessing of the sacrament is a priesthood function though, so no, they don't. It would seem your attempt to pigeonhole the LDS as discriminating would also work against the early Church. Are you sure you want to go there? The LDS do not hold these traditions like the early saints did, but you seem to be wanting us to go back to times of old!

Prayers in Sacrament meeting are different than "prayers over the sacrament." You know this very well and yet your answer was quite deceptive don't you think? Women are not and have never been able to perform the sacramental prayer (as greyfoxx put it - "over the sacrament") and you know it. Do you think it is honest to answer questions in a deceptive way?

Color, you are killing me! Again, where was I deceptive? Read my answer again, I made it clear. I talked specifically about 2 separate things, meeting prayers, and sacrament prayers. Here it is again, in bold so you cant' miss it:

"Women say prayers all the time in Sacrament meeting. The blessing of the sacrament is a priesthood function though, so no, they don't."

I didn't see an answer from you on the NT practices of discrimination BTW. How do you feel about the ancient Church keeping the women silent in the Churches, and only allowing the husbands to inform them on doctrine? This is exactly why I suggested you and others should go down this route, it is fruitless.

You were taking part in the practice of Millet. Answer the question greyfoxx SHOULD have asked.

You simply started out your answer with a dodge. To me it appeared that you were hoping most people wouldn't read farther than the first sentence. I am well versed in the many ways Mormonism presents its "truth."

Women say prayers all the time in Sacrament meeting. The blessing of the sacrament is a priesthood function though, so no, they don't.
