Uh, no. You asserted that women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are second class citizens. Do you personally experience that?

To: Utah Girl

I asked you

“Why do you believe that salvation is different for women than it is for men ???”

You said

“Uh, no.”

Are you saying that mormons believe that salvation is the same for men and women ???

That whatever occurs for men will also happen for women ??

In other words..women can be single and still experience the highest spot that men will in the mormon “celstrial kingdom” ????

Many Christian churches have women deacons, elders, board members, committee heads and pastors. They are equal to men in the important ways and there is no teaching that they have to marry or otherwise depend on the actions of a man in order to enter Heaven.

Women are equal to men in the blessing of the bread and wine and in the serving of it to the membership. Women are called to be the head of the church board, or governing body, are allowed as pastors to perform the sacred marriage ceremonies and baptisms.

Perhaps mormons don't look on this as being "second-class" when women are forbidden these privileges, as in the LDS church..that is their option, however...there are many, many Christians who would disagree.
