Very timely for me personally.
The one about Faith in Christ?

Mine was the 1st presidency´s answer to my question:

Are my wife and I correct in refusing male doctors and nurses to violate my wife´s modesty because they are doctors, just because she is pregnant. I feel it is a violation of the law of chastity.

The reply came from Dieter F. Uchtdorf, who said that irrespective of the worlds decadence we should say: "I am doing the Lords work, and I cannot come down."

In other words, DO NOT LOWER THE STANDARDS. DO NOT SELL YOUR MORALS AND STANDARDS (OUR SYMBOLS AND TOKENS) FOR MONEY, by paying some male to do a task, that women did in the Bible, just because MORTAL MEN (Natural men (God´s enemies)) who serve the destroyer (of marriages) say "It´s all right" - We aren´t that "old fashioned" anymore.

We are LDS, We have Morals and Standards, and are proud of it.

I'm scratching my head over this one... How exactly is it breaking the law of chastity? He's not asking your wife to bare herself for sexual means.

IMHO, too many doctors, are in it for their own voyeuristic satisfaction, HENCE a violation of the law of chastity, as if one person gets satisfaction out of it that is enough. Becoming a doctor, is like becoming a certified peeping tom. Just like people who are addicted or prone to pornography or other forms of decadence.

You have my thanks and gratitude for your query. I know, that a lot of members, find it "alright", because they are "doctors", but this is how Satan wants us to think, and slowly and surely reduce The Church from the inside, as has been prophisied.

Helgi,
I'm totally baffled by your attitude towards doctors. Are you just targeting OB-GYNs or all doctors?

I've worked with doctors and I know many LDS doctors who are not at like you describe. The always have a female nurse with them when examining patients, they never express any satisfaction of the type you imply. Both my sisters and my mother are all RNs. They would say the same thing.

I'm not saying there aren't bad people in medicine. I'm saying there are bad people everywhere. The majority of people who go through 10+ years of school don't do it to get a "peek"

Elder Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve would take exception to your characterization. He's a Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

EDIT: You highjacked the thread. Start your own.

i think we might be a bit off topic here. if one wants to discuss if the law of chastity is broken by a woman using a male dr then a new thread needs to be started.

IMHO these men, albeit "nice" should have more respect, and we should have female drs for females and vice versa. It´s not as if there were a shortage of drs.

I guess we´ll just have to agree to disagree. Irrespective of some drs being GA´s, BUT, since you did mention OBs and GYNs, Yes, I do feel very strongly about why Males, should seek such a profession, especially LDS.
