As I was growing up, my home ward was largely ran by a woman. As a young man, her husband had gone to Europe to fight in WW II. He was an American MORmON, She was a Dutch MORmON living in Holland. Somehow they met. no doubt, it is a story of wonder and awe and God's will coming about for the MORmON ages !!!! just
like the Joseph Smith saga. She came home to the Western United States as his MORmON war bride. At least that killed two birds with one stone as far as her having to travel to a MORmON temple to be secret handshake married.
He looked like Abraham Lincoln's really really REALLY homely dorky brother. She looked like, well, put it this way: none of the young men in Holland would be upset about her getting away with a Yankee .....or whoever, whatever!!!!
In true MORmON fashion, after being MORmON temple secret handshake married, those two odd balls started breeding as much as they could and ended up with 10 or a dozen kids.
I know that some here would be thrilled that a woman was running things at some MORmON ward at some time to some extent, as they see that as some sort of move in the right direction. It is very doubtful that those same people would be as fond of this particular woman, if they had actually had to deal with her. l
Let me say that it really was NOT that groovy as that bossy cow busy body social climbing European in rural Idaho saw fit to endlessly promote her MORmON brood at EVERY turn at any expense to the other far less assertive (PUSHY) more native MORmON ward members. I will say that she really had her crass routine of bombastic self promotion and self elevation down to a science and very well mastered. Maybe she could be called a master MORmON, she'd probably even like it. Her family was the very kind of people who are completely vapid and BORING to an agonizing extent, even as they feel they are really special and exciting and happening because they are certain in a MORmON kind of way that they are exemplary MORmON members......and they ARE, AS IF the world really does rotate around THE (MORmON) Church.
She pushed all of her kids several years ahead in school, which was not nearly as beneficial to them as she thought, as she was so certain that they were such super exceptional spirits, reserved for the latter days and sent especially to her for mortal bodies. Mostly they were exceptionally HOMELY so like their HOMELY parents, and quite socially backward, but Momma bossy cow just kept pushing things along anyway .....for the glory of MORmON Jesus, of course.
No doubt that momma bossy cow would have had all of her sons ordained to the MORmON Aaronic PriestDUD a year or two .....or three, or four, early as a sign to everyone else of their raging Spiritual superiority. She did boost her daughters into Mutual a year or two early just as they were a year or two ahead in school, and she got away with it, especially as my politically ambitious ass kissing utterly spineless gutless MORmON male parent was the mutual president also running for bishop (who NEVER had a chance, but) correctly saw her approval ( that was NEVER going to come) as absolutely essential. She would have tried the same thing with her male offspring but (AT LEAST) the LD$ Inc guidelines at the time on when a MORmON boy could get the extra special (exceptionally worthless) MORmON priestDUD were firm enough that she could not buck those .......
Momma bossy cow would have had a hey day with these latest changes in the MORmON youth program !!!!! ..... I don't know whether to wish that I could have seen such a thing, since I had to suffer through being raised in THE (MORmON) church anyway, or to be damn glad that I did not see such a thing and what she would have done with it.
IF anyone is asking me, I think that the MORmONS just jacked the THE (MORmON) door wide open for MORE problems because of the very kind of personalities and attendant issues that I just outlined.
