HO....if I were to go by that picture and by some of the TV preachers I have seen and their mannerisms then I might be more sympathetic to the no women preachers side

I'm just puzzled why the actions of a few end up as a blanket statement for the entire gender.

To me, it's no different than hearing a group of black people talking Ebonics and stating, 'see, that's why I don't think blacks should educate children in schools'.

There are lots of women who have preached, and lots of them who are admired as such, but I think it's unfair to take a picture of one and the mannerisms of a few others and blanket the entire gender as being like those few.

Like I said, for clarification for HO IF I were to go by that picture and SOME of the TV preachers I have seen I would be more sympathetic to their point of view.
