The root cause of the shame that will be felt by
JW apostates will be plain for all to see, because the excuses they employ to
defy the Lord's commandment and His headship arrangement will be denied them by
the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement. (1 Cor 14:33-37). Such excuses include:
'Evidently some women there would raise
challenging questions and dispute with men appointed to teach the congregation.' The inspired Word of God issued to us through the apostle Paul for all congregations makes no mention of allowing women to 'dispute' or raise 'challenging questions', or to ignore the headship arrangement in any way. The authority of the congregational order from God is addressed to brothers in the faith, to prophets and husbands, and the gifts of the Spirit to be expressed in an orderly fashion, in turns, for true benefit. For if they spoke at the same time, unbelievers would reasonably think them mad, and would not benefit. As the Lord's commandment does not embrace women as "brothers" in the faith, "brothers" are urged to "let the women keep silent in the congregations" and "let them be (allow them to be) in subjection". They are not to speak even to ask questions, but "let them question their own husbands at home". Whenever a woman speaks in a congregation of God, she is disgracing herself, her husband (her head), other men present, The Christ, and Almighty God. No man standing, sitting, or adopting any other physical or spiritual position before the congregation can alter the Will of God respecting the headship arrangement issued through His Son Christ Jesus our Lord. (1 Cor 14:26-37. 1 Tim 2:11,12. 1 Cor 11:3-16. Matt 28:18-20). Another spiritually adulterous teaching promoted by "that woman Jezebel" is the erroneous translation of Revelation 19:10. The Greek Interlinear Translation says: "for the witness of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy." It does not say: "for the bearing witness to Jesus is what inspires prophesying." (NWT). What the scripture is teaching is that the purpose of this prophecy is the witness of Jesus to the ones called to the Lamb's marriage, "for the testimony borne by Jesus is the breath of all prophecy." (Moffatt Translation). Neither the angel nor the apostle John was prophesying. Bearing witness to Jesus does not inspire one to prophesy concerning future events other than those already recorded in the Holy Bible. (1 Cor 13:8).
