To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Sis. Barbara B. Smith mentioned 5 Points of Emphasis That Make Mormon Women Different From Other Women. I am fascinated to understand why she picked these five when she could have picked so many others. I don’t know any answers, but I would like to walk through this list of five to figure some things […]
This talk, given in 1976, teaches the role of womanhood. For too many years, women have questioned their place in society. This is the work of Satan and evil-designing men. President Kimball, as a prophet of God, speaks the truth here and tells us how God only wants happiness for all of His children. “Our women […]
I ran across a talk, given by Chieko Okazaki, called Healing From Sexual Abuse. This talk was given way back in 1992, taped and sold by Deseret Book, and given again at a BYU Conference in 2002. I think her talk is important for us to know and understand. She gives eight strong messages: 1. […]
Back in 1985, Pres. Hinckley gave a talk on “Ten Gifts from the Lord”. As I read through these gifts I was reminded of the spiritual purposes of Relief Society, and my blessings of its membership. YOU HAVE THE GIFT, THE OPPORTUNITY, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING GOOD. Our charge, according to Jesus Christ himself, […]
This talk, given by C. Terry Warner (back in 2001, at Ricks College) is something to think about, ponder, then move us into action. I present it to you as a challenge. One day, Bro. Warner decided to arrange his scriptures by topic. This was of his own volition, without assignment, and was clearly an […]
I’m going to depart from my normal post format and talk about life—my (new) viewpoint of life, that is. Okay, I admit, this is another pep talk to myself, made public this time. I just saw Julie & Julia and I have some serious deep thoughts about it. Now what in the world does this […]
The Women’s Exponent is full of articles about the greatness of women. I don’t think we can talk too much about the subject. Too many women still think they don’t have much to offer in this world. And there are women who think they are so amazing, they deserve more than what they’re given. We […]
When Joseph Smith said, “The best measure or principle to bring the poor to repentance is to administer to their wants. The Ladies’ Relief Society is not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls” , the women understood their first responsibility as they organized themselves for the work of Relief Society. Yes, as […]
The Mormon women, who first lived in the Salt Lake Valley, were persecuted for their devotion to polygamy. To us, polygamy is pretty distasteful, and we avoid the subject. But to them, it was their lifestyle, their belief, and their choice, and they wanted the world to just leave them alone. In the Dec. 1, […]
Another article found in the Women’s Exponent (1878), gives us an idea of the times our sisters were living in. Mormon women wanted the right to vote all for the purpose of keeping their freedom to live in polygamy. They felt this lifestyle, not only came from God, but allowed them freedom to become their […]
