    The apostle Paul wrote these words "Do you not know that we shall judge angels?"

    When writing those words, he was directing them to Christians, both men and women.

    Not necessarily so. Simply because there were also women in attendance who HEARD his words doesn't necessarily prove that Paul was including them too in what he said about judging angels.

    Well, it's commonly perceived that angels have no genitals. Since they don't reproduce they wouldn't have any use for them. Though such is true it doesn't mean that the angels can't have a masculine disposition. So, by reason of having masculine dispositions the angels are spoken of as an "he" (even as noted by someone above).

    I once said to JW that the pictures of God in the WT (one where God was sitting on his throne with white beard) was ridicoulus. If God looks just lika a man then he probably have a little house with a garden where he lives, probably he just now goes around in his garden and picks flowers, and then maybe he want's to go to the bathroom? That JW doesn't speak to me anymoore.

    Then, is god of the opinion that woman angels would not be capable of helping mankind/womenkind to perfection during the millenium? What about their nature would god find lacking, so that he would disqualify them from his kingdom? In the ot, women were considered inferior, just a little above cattle. Women were bought, sold, given as gifts, taken as booty, used as wage payment. Why was jesus so pro woman, allowing one of his first preachers to be a samaritan woman, having women as the first to see him after his resurrection etc? It would seem that jehovah and his chosen people, except for jesus, had a low opinion of them.

    well its being "commonly percieved" doesnt make it true sunshine, it merely makes it "commonly percieved". how do you know its "true" that they have no genitals?? or the appearance of something "like unto a genital"??

    Mayhap, as you suggest, they are like in appearance to superman in the comics, fine looking and very well muscled, except in the crotch region...where there is no hint of a bulge to mar the smooth front of his pantaloons.
