Mormon Dilemma 193

Women are to usher in spirit babies 

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, pg. 546; “Since the beginning, a woman’s first and most important role has been ushering into mortality spirit sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven. Since the beginning, her role has been to teach her children eternal gospel principles. She is to provide for her children a haven of security and love-regardless of how modest her circumstances might be. (CR October 1981, Ensign 11 [November 1981]: 105.)”

Luke 10:38-42; “Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Matthew 22:36-40; “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

The Church zeros in on both males and females tricking them into believing they can take care of their own salvation within the means of what they can physically do. For the man it’s to provide for a family and for the female it’s to have kids. This will be the focus for the kids from an early age up until they graduate. Their youth groups held on weekday evenings are filled with teachings much like bible studies are done for the Christian kids at their meetings during the week. 

Notice in the LDS teaching there’s nothing about the Lord but all about what her duties are as a female. 

My goal by the time I graduated was to find a husband and start having kids asap. I had three kids within four years. My undergraduate studies and final graduate work/degree meant nothing compared to my need of having to bring those babies into the world.
