The root cause of their shame will be plain for all to see, because the excuses they have used for their disobedience against the congregational arrangement will not be available to them. Such excuses continue at the present time and include: (Quote) 'Evidently some women there would raise challenging questions and dispute with men appointed to teach the congregation'. (JW Watchtower magazine April 15th 1973. Pg.255). Whereas, the truth of the inspired arrangement for all congregations, given to us through the apostle Paul, makes no mention of allowing women to challenge, dispute or assume positions as teachers, or to ignore the headship arrangement in any other way. The congregational order is from God and addresses its authority to brothers, prophets, and husbands; and the gifts expressed are to be orderly (in turns) for true benefit. For if they spoke at the same time, unbelievers would understandably think them mad, and would not benefit. It does not embrace women in the context of being "brothers", though women are indeed mentioned through the brothers to "let them keep silent" and "let them be (allow them to be) in subjection". 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, outside or inside her home, she is disgracing herself before Jehovah God, her husband, and other men present. No man or group of men standing or sitting down before the congregation, or in any other physical or spiritual position, can alter the Will of God as respects this authority given to His congregations through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Cor 14:26-37. 1 Tim 2:11,12. Matt 28:18-20). Another adulterous misleading teaching of that "woman" (not to be confused with the heavenly "woman" of God) is their erroneous translation of Revelation 19:10. Although the Greek Interlinear Translation plainly reveals: (Quote) "The for witness of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy". It does not say or mean as their New World Translation of the Bible teaches: "For the bearing witness to Jesus is what inspires prophesying". (NWT). But, is in truth saying that the purpose of this prophecy is the witness of Jesus to the ones called to the Lamb's marriage and "the testimony borne by Jesus is the breath of all prophecy". (Moffatt Translation). Neither the angel nor John was prophesying. Nor does bearing witness to Jesus inspire one to prophesy concerning future events, other than what is already written in the Holy Bible. (1 Cor 13:8. 11:5).
