"ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED OF GOD AND BENEFICIAL FOR
TEACHING, FOR REPROVING, FOR SETTING THINGS STRAIGHT,
FOR DISCIPLINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS." (2 Timothy 3:16).

Servants of Jehovah could not remain among women who teach from God's Word by answering questions at congregation meetings, teaching His Word to their authority man and teaching wives and offspring over whom husbands are head. (1 Cor 11:3). But this is what millions of JWs do as a sign of their disobedience. Only by wearing headcoverings as an outward sign is the Christian obedience of women made manifest. (11:5, 10 & 13). As it is written you must become, "doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning." (James 1:22). The will and belief of JWs that a headcovering gives a woman authority to teach, even men, is an offence against God, His Son, and His obedient servants. For by this teaching of disobedience the sect of JWs have opened their doors to false prophetesses of "that woman Jezebel" and are spiritually "committing adultery" with her. (Rev 2:20,21).

The Christ's subjection of us according to accurate knowledge of the Word of God is evident in word and deed in those exercising loving obedience to our Heavenly Father. However, if after having received accurate knowledge one wilfully continues to practice sin, none of Christ's sacrifice remains, only a fearful expectation of Judgement. (Heb 10:26,27). So much depends upon the headship arrangement of God and headcoverings as a sign of a woman's subjection to the man. Please read the word of God to Adam in Genesis 3:17. You men of the sect of JWs are still listening to the voices of your wives. (See JW book: 'Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God'. Pg.49 & 50). There is no safety in numbers when you are all disobedient. Obey God as Ruler rather than men. (Acts 5:29). Faithful anointed brothers of Christ do not show cowardice among the people.

See 'Life Everlasting' book, pgs. 253-255 with the following corrections:

(1)	Although Paul was answering a letter from the Corinthian congregation, 1 Corinthians 7:1 and 11:10 do not in any way permit women to pray aloud in a congregation. Prophets could at that time prophesy in the congregation, but in an orderly manner controlled by men. There were no prophetesses. (14:31-35).
(2)	As regards the headship arrangement of God described in 1 Corinthians 14:34,35, when two or more people are gathered in Christ's name Jehovah does not make partial distinctions as to meeting places, buildings, distances from meeting places (as in house to house preaching), or people. (Matt 18:20). With reference to headcoverings, to suggest that certain meetings may have differed is an erroneous deception.

The restrictions placed upon women in congregations described in 1 Timothy 2:11-15 are a safeguard of their spiritual health and freedom from certain temptation. Obedience to the headship arrangement serves to prevent women from being tempted to mislead slaves of God to spiritually "commit fornication" and to "eat things sacrificed to idols." (Rev 2:20).

"For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful by God for overturning strongly entrenched things. For we are overturning reasonings and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God; and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to the Christ". (2 Cor 10:4,5).
