Seriously, they could solve so many problems by just going all in on this.
If, tomorrow, the church came out and announced that Tom Monson has officially received a new revelation from the lord. Something like:
"Thus sayeth the lord unto my servant Thomas (probably S., does the lord use his middle initial as well?) Monson. As you have asked concerning my will towards women having my authority to officiate and administer in the ordinances of the priesthood, I the lord say unto you the following: Not at any time have I commanded my servant that woman should administer in the ordinances thereof. I the lord wasn't that cool with black people for quite a while either, but I changed my mind on that.
(and then finish with the obvious stuff). And lo, I the lord am well pleased with my church, speaking collectively and not individually, And behold, I come quickly (he says that a lot, I bet Misses Lord is not cool with that). The field is white, etc...
Then, from that point on, when any woman asks, they just say: sorry, asked and answered. There is really nothing to be argued at that point.
Why not just go for it and wipe all those questions off the board?
