1 TIMOTHY 2:11-14.
Women may prove their obedience through good works. (Prov 31:10-31). They must not act as false prophetesses by speaking and teaching from the Scriptures, but must show full submissiveness in Christ's congregations by being silent as commanded by the apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2:11-14.  Why is this a command?  Because:

(1) A woman can be thoroughly deceived.
(2) Woman was created for the sake of the man, as a complement of him (Gen 2:18).

Women of the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses are the greatest offenders against this command today, proving they do not have the love of Christ among them, for they push ahead of The Christ's instructions and so do not have God. (2 John V.9). To say that if an unsealed 'elder' is present it gives women the right to teach in the congregation, is overstepping the commandment of our Lord.  JW 'elders' are thereby acting as their gods. Instead of letting women keep silent, these men are giving them leave to be disobedient to the Word of God.  (1 Cor 14:34).

Many sects deceive their members by pushing ahead of The Christ's teachings. An example of this is 'God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost.'  To believe this lie called the trinity, one must believe that Almighty God was born an infant on earth, that He is the mediator between Himself and Himself, and that somehow He offered himself as a ransom sacrifice to Himself ! But this madness of Christendom is plain for all to see. (2 Tim 3:8,9). Further, if as they claim their 'Virgin Mary' is the mother of God, who is her father? Suffice to say, we have nothing to do with these people and their blasphemous teachings. For the truth, read John 1:1  4 NEB and NWT.

DO NOT SHARE IN THEIR WICKED WORKS.
True worshippers of God should not greet in word, gesture or by association anyone who knows the spiritual requirements of God but who deliberately ignores His disciplines and holy principles. (2 John V.9-11). In defiance of the Will of God, members of sectarian religion disregard the Lord's instructions and resort to uncanny power and teraphim in contempt of God. (See Page 863A and 1 Sam 15:23). Anyone who appears to be a formal worshipper and yet greets such ones, makes a public statement before God that he accepts their rebellious teachings and bad examples and supports their wicked works.

Those who ignore a true preacher of righteousness while listening to those who merely make a show of self righteousness are under their "veil" of disobedience. (2 Cor 3:16). For although such ones may confess Christ as having come in the flesh, they make the reason for The Christ's sacrificial death redundant by their wickedness. 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 the Word of God?

ANSWER:

Those who love Jehovah God wholesouled and try to impart His Word to their neighbours are showing them love, just as they would wish to be loved. They are showing love to their neighbours in the most lasting and beneficial way.
