i've been hearing this from the 7 day advantist, church of christ and jws, and was show 1 cor 14:36 as proof.
but, i decided to read the context of the verse....and it paints a different picture, atleast imo (ps i am not saying that females should be heads of congerations, now that is out of order.
) i'm using the message translation, for clarity.
Gday Mr A Team,
In fact 7 day adventists do have a few ministers in the states and also have a long tradition of women lay preachers leading in the divine service.
In Australia females have taken theology degrees but I dont know any that have been ordained as ministers.

Gday Mr Ateam.
how have jws expressed their views as to the prayers of people that aren't jws?
do they think god listens and answers?.
for instance, one elder that was speaking of prayer said, "just think how wonderful it is.
I remember going to a Presbyterian Church service that was an ecumenical type service. The minister presiding prayed for all the religious communities in the small town including the Jehovahs Witnesses. No JWs were actually at the service.
when i was jw, i didn't know any vegetarians.
they had the teaching that god had allowed us to eat animals, so we just eat animals.
no questions asked.. just recently i started to consider being vegetarian.
Gday brentr, While I agree with you in some ways our ancestors didnt have refrigerators and they didnt eat meat every day. They did eat meat after a hunt or when something got fat. So meat eaten occasionally would probably more heathfull Also if you were to havedairy foods and eggs in youre vegetarian diet it would take care of the deficencies normally accociated with a vegetarian diet vit b12 etc.

There is a show on the tv in Australia called 'Whats good for you ' and last night they annalysed 5 different diets from vegan , lacto vegetarian . balanced diet with lean meat to a diet with excessive amounts of meat. From the annalysis by the experrts the lacto vegetarian diet was the best because it provided all the essentials but had a very high amount of good fats.
The worst diet was the vegan because b12 was dangerously low folllowed by the high meat diet because the colestrol level was high.
The lacto vegetarian diet is actually one supported by the SDA church although only about one third of SDAs follow the diet. In studies the one third of SDAs that are vegetarian live five to ten years longer and they have a better quality of life. the other two thirds of SDAs who have a regular diet have the same ailements as the rest of the population. Because of the longivity of ministers and church workers the churches retirement plans have been in the red and is not likely to improve in the near future.
Being an SDA myself maybe I should change my canivorous ways.

Israel has had to deal with voilence since its beginning while Hamas still doesnt accept its existance. There would be peace if the arabs stopped fighting and there is a peace movement in Israel. Where is the peace movement in the Arab world?

Hear in Australia evolution was taught in science classes , Also wednesday mornings Priests Ministers would come from the various denominations to teach religious classes. I went to a public school.
