This story is a sad, but very illustrative, example of the irrational fear of women held by the celibate men who run this church.   The amount of police power expended to protect these fearful men from eight women is truly astonishing. One would normally laugh, but it is actually so pathetic that one wonders if the these "men" will ever grow up and be, well, ....men. Their actions  constantly demonstrate the reality of their arrested development at the level of  the "no girls allowed" 10 year old boys who fear letting the "girls" into their exclusive little all-male club.
