I am presenting info that I think members and others might need to understand more fully.
Secondly: I stated my opinion about why this is happening.

Lastly, why don't these women understand how the LDS Church doctrine functions?
It is my conclusion, that if they did, they would not be making a plea for the priesthood, as they would understand their position.
My guess? Apparently not. I still think there is an underlying agenda here.
Doesn't make sense other wise.
Temple Recommend holding LDS women would have no need to make a plea to be ordained in the priesthoods.
If women want to be ordained to a priesthood, they need to join another church. That would be the wise thing to do.
