jwfacts is so right about the helper part. That means she is inferior.
Chariklo: "Clearly they are totally non-equal. That's why so many JW women compete with each other to look pretty and smart, and at the same time are constantly on the lookout for an immodest woman."
God, I see that so much. It's depressing. Who has the best hair? The prettiest clothes? Who made the cutest comment today at the study?
Yes, JWFacts got the point. At the end of page 4 they do quote that Eve was created as a "helper" and complement" to Adam, and then deliberately focus on the meaning and implications of "complement" only. Absolutely typical Watchtower misrepresentation.
Also have a look at the box on page 9, about Paul telling women to remain silent and ask their husbands later. "Likely. . .some Christian women were so enthusiastic that they interrupted the speaker. . . ". A flagrant example of going beyond what was written if ever I saw one!
Of course women were not regarded in any way as equals to men in Biblical times. And this is clearly replected in the Bible.
