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.

Color, this is really beyond the pail! You accuse me of deception when I clearly stated the facts. And you also rail on me because I can't read minds (what greyfoxx SHOULD have asked)
I didn't' start with a dodge, I told the truth. If you honestly think readers will read 1 sentence and leave the thread without reading the next sentence, then you have absolutely no respect for the majority of FReepers, lurkers, or otherwise. Let me say it again for the 3rd time, so EVERYONE can understand.. Wait, wait for it, it's coming, just past the next sentence...
Are you all still here? Here it comes...
Don't go away, it's right here, after this first line...
Ready, ok, I'm letting it roll! 3rd times a charm...

Now, sorry to get all rousted up, but that really gets my goat! It is one of my responsibilities in my calling to get prayers fro Sacrament Meeting each week. I usually alternate between men and women during the same meeting, and it makes no difference what sex says the opening or closing prayers. Likewise, countless other times, Sunday School, Relief society, Ward Council, etc, etc, etc., women say the prayers.
Color, would it surprise you to know that our Relief Society President comes to our Priesthood Executive Committee meetings too, even though she technically isn't supposed to? We value her insight and judgment, and perspective and spiritually that she can and does bring.
Please stop trying to paint me into your already defined discriminatory corner. Thanks!
