What I find interesting is that the was no statement regarding that the wife MUST be brought through the veil by her husband -

- - - - —
Nope, but IIRC it is still part of the temple ceremony and only the husband knows the wife’s ‘new name’, she cannot know his. Very telling.

It would be a shocker if it WASN'T a part of the ceremony. What article was it earlier that stated that lds women didn't need the priesthood because they were more spiritually 'pure' or something to that effect?

and another one...

Is he smart enough to remember her name ???

Or righteous enough to even be told such a “sacred” item ???

She should know his name instead....

and he should earn the privilege of being called out of the grave ...

The needy mormon men...so lacking...

Ah yes...there is that domino feeling...

“Women have a sacred role in the sanctification and purification of men,”

“Mormons believe men and women are equal. In fact, we believe women are naturally more righteous than men. This is why the Priesthood is given only to men since we need it in order to approach the spiritual level of women.”

I find it ironic that this article/talk comes out on this topic while taking into account the temple ceremony where the woman/wife is dependent on the husband to get her through.

Now this article/talk that implies the man is dependent on the woman. I suspect that this article/talk is nothing more than an attempt to quantify the role of the woman so that she doesn't feel inferior in her current role. Building up her sense of worth so to speak.

The mere fact, that according to LdS teachings, she is to be subservient to her husband in all things "as long as the man is worthy" is indicative of the position mormon women really have within the LdS hierarchy.

Where once before(or actually currently?) the woman "was dependent" upon her mate to get her to the celestial kingdom, now they're saying that they're intertwined and the man cannot achieve the celestial kingdom without his woman.
