If I
remember right they did not back women in ministry whatsoever.In fact one of the classes was the Role of the Shepherdess.Which is good if you are going to be a preachers wife but what if you are a preacher or a teacher?Sorry I disagree.I think our young women ought to
be doing the ministries God called them to do as well.Its a sacrifice to send my daughter to bible college but for the will of God I will gladly take on other shifts and work harder.Sorry sis I disagree.Had I gone to bible college ministry would have not been as hard and I would have had a more realistic look at it.Some people do ministry for a vocation.Sorry I disagree.

Sis. T,
Calm down. None of my posts were directed at you or your daughter. I went to JCM for only one reason...I wanted to do something for God. I just felt the pressure of having to marry a preacher in order to be able to minister. Today this is not so.
I went to Bible college against my Pastor's advice, [he thought I should stay home and marry a home boy]...I wasn't even thinking about the marriage bit..I was far too young.
I don't regret going to Bible College, but then I sacrificed and paid my own way. I worked three jobs to get my way through JCM. But, 6 months after my divorce from a preacher I found myself trying to get a job and all the 15 years of ministry could not provide for my children and myself.
Those most successful in JCM came having already went to college, had a profession, and worked comfortably through JCM and were able to go into ministry without being poverty stricken.
You know I love you and have no problem with you disagreeing with me...everyone has to choose for themselves what is best.
Love & Blessings, Rhoni
P.S. I have never thought you were an idiot...I have limited the use of that word to a couple conservative men
