This created a furor with more than 14,500 comments pouring in immediately to the official LDS instagram account where the statement was made, almost all of them saying what a joke the claim that the Mormon church empowers women is.

I myself have heard Mormon women make this claim with a straight face, knowing full well that ordination to priesthood in the LDS church is restricted to men — so some equality and empowerment this is!

Ruth Graham reports on a backlash that occurred recently after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day issued a statement celebratingf the LDS Relief Society which said,

“There is no other religious organization in the world, that I know of, that has so broadly given power and authority to women."

@Frances_Larina Religious diversity is a good thing, as long as people aka #Christians, don't try to force it down other people's throats. Yes, we get it, you love God. There are more religions than just your own. Read the Tora or the Quran and learn about other people's ways of doing things instead of making it sound like your way is the only way. I'm looking at you #Mormons. Oh, and #Catholics too. Not sorry about it. Burn me at the stake if you want. Oh, and i'm technically Mormon too but inactive so I know what I'm talking about. this is especially true with missionaries. Just stop with that whole idea honestly. It's just super old school and creepy IMO.

My hateful, bigoted Mormon mom tried to reinvent herself on Facebook by posting under one of my posts of the No Space for Hate poster by saying she had a Hate Free Zone sticker on her window years ago. A blatant lie. I’m torn between calling her on it in the comments, ignoring her for the umpteenth time to keep the peace, and flying to Alberta to burn her house down. #NoSpaceForHate #mormons #WWJD

Following #MountainMeadows massacre of 7 Sep 1857, #Mormons hastily buried victims. Local families took in surviving children. Victims' possessions were auctioned off. After Civil War & blatant #obstruction, investigations resulted in a mere 9 indictments during 1874. Only John D. Lee went on trial. Legend has it that a curse fell upon the families of all the murderers who were never brought to justice - including Brigham Young, who ordered the killings.
