President Newsroom puts his foot in it....

The poster advertising a Sept. 9 "Sisters Meeting" for all European Mormon girls and women — ages 12 and older — features a pink-pastel background with lavender type.
It invites the region’s female Latter-day Saints to watch the two-hour meeting — which will be streamed live from Offenbach, Germany — at their local Mormon meetinghouses.
Who are the speakers?
The poster lists and pictures only three men — LDS apostles M. Russell Ballard and David A. Bednar, and Donald L. Hallstrom, of the Presidency of the Seventy.
No women are mentioned, but church spokeswoman Jessica Moody said some will be involved.
"The list of speakers for the meeting has not been finalized," Moody said Tuesday, "and will definitely include female speakers."

"Rocks don't speak for themselves" is an unfortunate phrase to use in defense of a book produced by a rock actually 'speaking' for itself... (I have a Question, 5.15.15)

I love Peggy Fletcher Stack. Every once in a while I think she really gets it wrong, but for the most part her reporting tends to be as charitable as possible toward the church while still managing to allow it to appear arcane, out of touch, authoritarian, etc.

They don't the women to miss the message through spending the session trying to imagine Dieter in his flight suit walking in slow-mo towards their waiting, pre-puckered lips.

Just saw this on another message board. Is this video real?

Edit: I think there's video on the lds.org website. I'll see if I can find it (but any help is appreciated).

of the women of this church. We need you. We need your voices. They need to be heard. They need to be heard in your community, in your neighborhoods, they need to be heard within the ward council or the branch council. Now don't talk too much in those council meetings, just straighten the brethren out quickly and move the work on.
Trimble, you ignorant sack of rhinoceros puss. The only thing more obvious than your lack of education is the foul stench that surrounds you.

“A scholar said he could not read the Book of Mormon, so we shouldn’t be shocked that scholars say the papyri don’t translate and/or relate to the Book of Abraham. Doesn’t change anything. It’s ancient and historical.” ~ Hanna Seariac
