You know...I wonder if he had a dad....hmmmm. Im glad he loved his mother, but just because old Abe says it does not make it true for everyone. Many mothers are crack heads. Many dads are just not there.

This does NOT mean that men don't have a role to play or a voice...heaven forbid!! God ordained for the home to be a man and a woman, however, life tells us sometimes one or the other is absent from this scene, OR unable or unwilling to fulfill their rightful position.

Well gee thanks. I feel better now. Men have a role. lol

2. How many families do you know that are in church if the mother isn't? How many are in church if the father isn't? It is just a fact that Sanctified churches are overrun with women, especially in the Black community, of which I am quite familiar.

Yes however being a woman in church does not make the rest come. Yet I believe I have read it somewhere that when the man comes and commits the rest of the family comes. Wonder why?

It happens, sure, that fathers are saved and mothers are not, but for some reason unknown to this uneducated poster it tends to be the women who are in the majority in these cases.
There are patterns indeed, and those more in tune with things may expound to a greater degree.

Maybe it's because our churches actually pander to them more? We always had ladies groups but not men. Until recently we had ladies prayer meetings but not men. Maybe the man feels oppressed and persecuted haha. Maybe they tire of churches that demands they submit to another man? Oh we are such a wretched class of beings. When will the mighty Amazon lady come and wescue us *sniff sniff* lol
