Sister rebellions? I only know of one "sisters 'rebellion, '" ever, which occurred in 1977, and this has been debunked. Are you referring to something specific?

Hi Nell, by “rebellion”, I mean whenever a sister is censored for her views or voice. I know that the LC sees them as “rebellions” but they are not so. More like sister whistleblowers. I started one in CA and Jo started a letter exposing truths.

And by pride, I think this may be different based on context. For me as a millenial, I see the pride and lust of the leading brothers not wanting the sisters to have a say in anything, this can just be due to my own experience in the specific localities I was in. Like I was 19 when I started the mini “rebellion” and for the elders to want to censor me was ludicrous. If you ask anyone I met what happened, they will deny or say they dont remember me. After all, I was just speaking to other sisters about the wrong things we saw in the local church. But then the elders step in and tell them not to associated with me anymore. So yes, I guess I’m basing it off my own experiences. They were very afraid of me.

Seriously naive here. I have seen far more brothers censored for their views. The authoritarian LC system I knew was far more brutal and abusive to the guys than to the ladies. YMMD. I never saw a sister shamed in public.

just because you never saw something doesnt mean it didnt happen.It may be back then when they were more brutal to the brothers or your personal experience, but times have changed and LC has gotten strict with sisters as well, has always been. And Good, I wouldnt have wanted you to see me shamed in public. Also stop being rude to me on the main forum. UntoHim is unto us.
