1 TIMOTHY 2:11-14.
Women can prove their obedience through good works (Proverbs 31:10-31), showing full submissiveness in Christ's congregations by being silent, not acting as prophetesses in speaking and teaching from the Word of God; as 1 Timothy 2:11-14 commands otherwise for women. Why is this a command from our Lord?  Because:

(1) A woman can be thoroughly deceived.

(2) Woman was created for the sake of the man, as a complement of him.
                                                                                      (See Page 666C and 1 Timothy Ch.2).
 Women of the sect of JWs are the greatest offenders against this command today, proving they do not have love, for they push ahead of Christ and therefore do not have God either. Their excuse that a man's authoritative presence gives women a right to prophesy in congregations, is overstepping the commandment of our Lord. Their men are acting as their god. Instead of letting (allowing) women to keep silent, these men teach them (allow) disobedience. (1 Cor 14:34 NWT).

Many other sects deceive others by pushing ahead of The Christ. For example, in their teaching of: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. To believe the lie of the trinity, one must also believe that Almighty God was an infant when on earth, and a mediator between Himself and Himself, and that somehow He offered Himself to Himself as the ransom sacrifice --three times? Also, they teach there are three gods, not one Almighty God. But this spurious madness in Christendom is plain for all to see. (2 Tim 3:8,9). Furthermore, if, as many claim, the virgin Mary is the Mother of God, who would then be her father? Needless to say, we do not have anything to do with these people.

DO NOT SHARE IN HIS [THEIR] WICKED WORKS.
Therefore, true worshippers of God do not, and should not, greet with words, gestures, or associate in a friendly way with people of Christendom -- those who know the basic requirements of The Christ but who deliberately choose to ignore his disciplines and holy principles. They disregard the Lord in an uncanny, self-willed, open rebellion as members of sects, or in a more direct self-willed contempt of God without true knowledge. For one who appears to be a formal worshipper, yet greets such ones, is making a public statement before God that he accepts their rebellious teachings and examples, promoting their wicked works.

Those who ignore a true preacher of righteousness, but listen to those who only appear righteous, are still under "veils" of disobedience, or are being kept in ignorance. In many cases, although they may confess The Christ as having come in the flesh, they are at the same time making the reasons for The Christ's sacrificial course worthless, by their lying examples. Their reward is Gehenna. (Matt 23:15).

DO YOU: "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF"?
In Luke 10:27 Jesus says, "'You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole strength and with your whole mind,' and 'your neighbour as yourself '". If you are obeying the commandments of God, you know the meaning of love.

QUESTION: Can you love your neighbours as yourself if they stubbornly refuse to listen to you
                       concerning God's Word?

ANSWER: Those who love God wholesouled and try to impart His Word  to  their  neighbours
                    are showing them love, as they themselves want to be loved. They are showing love
                    to their neighbours in the most lasting and beneficial way.
