I have spoken to Jehovah witness and they have no doubt that they have the truth and God has called them.
I would like to see some scriptures that authorize women to be called as preachers, but unfortunately no one has ever shown me a scripture that settles the matter.
If someone can conclusively show a scriptural basis for women and children in the New Testament ministry, I am quite willing to accept it, but until then I can not go beyond what the word of God speaks. Maybe they can be preachers, and I am wrong, but I would like to see some positive biblical statement that women are allowed as pastors of a church.
Can God use the work of people who are not in his complete perfect will? of course he can, he used plenty of people who were outside of the Jewish covenant.
God used Pharaoh king of Egypt, God used Cyrus a pagan king and he used many other people outsiders, the scriptures show plenty of examples, but the fact that God used those people does not mean that those people were included in his covenant.
