A place to love and accept the people who think about and live Mormonism on their own terms.

Only those who have had this second anointing really understand this, so they are the only ones who understand why the church cannot ordain women in the way feminists want. Yet the church does not dare explain why women are not given the priesthood of Jesus Christ. Because there would be a revolt as all the women who imagine themselves as equal to their husband leave the church.

Well, that makes sense, in a weird, sick sort of way...
So if a woman is invoking her husband's priesthood power, then when she gives him a blessing, then he is basically just blessing himself. Would we call this "Priesthood Masturbation"?

These are exactly the kinds of jokes that are going to get repeated as long as the Second Anointing remains in the realm of "too sacred to talk about".Just This Guy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 6:35 pmSo if a woman is invoking her husband's priesthood power, then when she gives him a blessing, then he is basically just blessing himself.

It does kind of strike me as some man thinking he should give Jesus a blessing with Jesus’s priesthood. But they sell the priesthood as women shouldn’t want it because “you can’t give yourself a blessing” and just forget to mention that your wife CAN with your own priesthood.Corsair wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:25 amThese are exactly the kinds of jokes that are going to get repeated as long as the Second Anointing remains in the realm of "too sacred to talk about".Just This Guy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 6:35 pmSo if a woman is invoking her husband's priesthood power, then when she gives him a blessing, then he is basically just blessing himself.

On a related note, I am slowly making my way through Mormon Enigma these days. I'll find the actual reference later but it does talk about Joseph revealing the possibility of women one day receiving the endowment (up to that point, it had been only men). Later, Emma asked why no women had received it yet. In response, he taught her that the endowment was necessary for exaltation (not salvation), and that only those men who had proven to be 100% obedient to God (or God's prophet by keeping his polygamous secret) were allowed to be endowed. Women, could only be allowed into the endowment once they had proven themselves 100% obedient to their husbands. Women obeying God wasn't an issue, they only had to be obedient to their husbands.alas wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 3:49 pmIn the temple endowment a women is told that she will be a priestess “unto” her husband.

For the record, my husband doesn’t consider himself “more righteous” than any other man, or me, but finding out about the second anointing is what did in my testimony of the temple. Poof, it was gone. The first anointing was suddenly marred by the second anointing. The ordinance struck me as so demeaning, and I sense the sort of ghostly presence of Brigham Young and others in early Utah days. To know that this is considered the absolute pinnacle of the temple experience....
