What an unnamed general authority told Terry Tempest Williams?
“Just as a mother bird has no choice whether or not she will lay her eggs, she must. God insists. So the eggs you possess, over which your husband presides, must also come forth. Will you choose to become a Mother of Zion, or will you allow your womb to become empty and barren, defying the faith of the women who came before you.”
Kills me when they quote a GA and don't give his name. Actually, it pisses me off because I want to write it off now as just another "faithless promoting rumour".
How does one preside over a woman's eggs anyway? Do they issue you a little maglite when you get married in the temple that you use to look into her kooch and give little peptalks? "Hey, you eggs!! Squeeze out into that catcher's mitt on the end of the fallopian tube and get busy!". WTF?
just some local spouting his personal opinion....that is not doctrine! :-)
"The phrase that my religious leader uttered that I have never been able to forget was this: “Just as a mother bird has no choice whether or not she will lay her eggs, she must, God insists. So the eggs you possess, over which your husband presides, must also come forth. Will you choose to become a Mother of Zion, or will you allow your womb to become empty and barren, defying the faith of the women who came before you?”
However if I were married to a Mormon man I'd be happy to give him what's left of my eggs after they leave my body. Would that make him happy, you think?
