What about female annointed? If they are good enough to rule with Christ at the end as part of the 144,000 priests, kings or however the story goes, why are they good enough while on earth?
First, let's review: You're a non-JW with breasts, and I'm a JW without breasts. Okay? Okay!
I think that you've hit on an extremely important point -- regarding the idea of the female of the species being of the "chosen" class (Matthew 24:22; the 144,000 that are to rule with Christ). I did for a fact think about the very point you bring up, a few years ago as a matter of fact. Of course, unlike you, I'm of the opinion that no woman was EVER intended/destined to become a member of such anointed ones. Is it not particularly noteworthy that those chosen to be apostles were ALL men?
But like you too reason, something is certainly amiss IF it were true that certain women are destined to become co-rulers with Christ ... but yet PRESENTLY don't qualify for such things as representing the congregation in prayer. Which is the lesser responsibility? I think the answer to that is obvious. But don't misunderstand me to be saying that I am at odds with the WTS's stance regarding the role of women today, because I'm not ... I too don't think women should do such things as represent the congregation in prayer or be appointed as elders and ministerial servants, etc.
Just mainly wanted to say that you brought up an interesting point; one that has troubled me in times past, and continues to do so. It just happens to be one of several doctrinal problems for the religion that I have no intention of forsaking (my signature might help you to understand why, in case you're curious).

Daniel 11:35 ... a KEY prophecy that must be fulfilled before the "time of the end" gets underway.
