Lest we chuckle, Mormon women eargerly await the day that the First Presidency might rescind the fatwah on more than one piercing per ear.

Would you like to also compare what happens in both situations when the woman is out of compliance?

Gosh, Indy, I'm actually not even sure if the one-earring rule is doctrine or just the opinion of the former prophet.

Do you know?

Well, I can tell you what happens to a western woman in Saudi Arabia that doesn't wear clothes that goes down their their ankles or shirt sleeves that extend to at least mid-forearm or neckline that shows the tantalizing region between the land of milk and honey.

I'm not even sure why we have a prophet anymore. Their counsel is oppressive, and we are all pretty good at just figuring out stuff ourselves anyway.

Actually, when I heard Pres. Hinckley say this, my interpretation was that it was his opinion. I was later surprised at how seriously all the women took it, taking out their second earrings and making a big deal about it. I don't wear earrings at all, so I guess that was why I didn't think much about it when he said it.
