Stop quoting other quotes from other quotes from other quotes to the point where it is ridiculous.
The pioneer women of my Church were persecuted every bit as severely as the men of my Church. And to this day we have to put up with it, which we do, as it is proof that our Church is true. Persecution comes with the territory. Keep it up if you must.
Jesus is my Savior, Soon-Coming King, the Great Jehovah, the Creator, my Redeemer. I love Him. This is Heavenly Father’s plan by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Huh?
Quoting ORIGINAL Mormon statements does seem a bit ridiculous; to a TBM: but to LURKERS who have little knowledge other than what the Great Spin Machine located in SLC tells them - they are INVALUABLE!
Yeah, the poor multi-billion-dollar-Corporation-Of-The-Prez of the LDS church...is SO, SO "persecuted"....
Report: 3000 Chinese Christians Killed Since 2000
Thousands of Chinese Christians have been killed for their faith since the year 2000, according to an investigation of senior Christian rights officials published Monday, September 3. In the last seven years 3,000 Christians were killed, said Ulrich Delius, the Asia expert of the German-based Society for Threatened Peoples, which campaigns against all forms of genocide and ethnocide. The allegations were expected to further increase international concerns that Chinas pledged economic reforms are not backed-up by more religious and poltical freedoms."
Those are just a sampling of the testimonies (aren't you big into testimonies?) of those women of that era. Those are quote from your prophets DOCUMENTED in mormon writings. The only thing ridiculous is your wilful turning of the eye away from true mormon history.

Thought you were just saying were did not have feelings of superiority. YOUR problem is that the persecution of the pioneer women were by mormon men - NOT outsiders Saundra - go back an read who was making those statements. It wasn't us gentiles forcing women into polygamy, but it was us gentiles who pushed to end that practice.
