It would suit me if it drove away all those who think women aren't worthy of "power, honor and glory" like they lavish on men in high places. Your use of the word "womyn" shows your contempt for them as is evidenced by many posters on this forum, including even women who march lock-step with the men.

It would suit me if it would be recognized that there is no more important job in the church than the raising of the next generation. That was a task entrusted to women over the centuries and they performed quite well in that capacity. Mother was the one place of great honor in the New Testament. Christ gave His mother to a diciple.

It bothers me when this role is belittled, when it is the most honored and most important in anyone's life. Those of us who believe this are belittled regularly by those who don't. Christ honored his mother and motherhood, why shouldn't we?

Because it leaves a spiritual vacuum when men and other women treat you like you are only good for that which is the way it is.

Why don't the men nurture the children religiously? Why is this role expected primarily of the woman?
