I think this is the exception more than the rule. NO BODY Likes what you've described but are you sure yours is not just a little broad sweeping ?
I also think the Brotherhood sometimes feels a little threatend by women who are powerful in the spirit. again, an aggressive woman behind a pulpit is a turn off, but even when that is NOT the case, women are sometimes treated second class.
How is what I said broad sweeping? I only spoke about my dislike for women preachers who try to act like men. The rest are fine in my opinion.
That narrowed the field to a few perverted acting ones.
How in the world is that 'broad sweeping'?

I believe you didn't stop with her acting masculine, but also like a lesbian.
Technically, lesbian IS the word that came to my mind but I had to put the masculine in there to denote that I'm not talking about the dainty, prissy lesbian but the manly, in your face, obnoxious kind of lesbian.

AMEN! This should never be. This is what being members of the Body of Christ is all about; different members functioning together under the headship of Jesus Christ.
Men only become insecure with 'other ministers,' when they are insecure in their own walk with Jesus. We must always remember that it is not 'MY' kingdom, it is 'God's'!
Women are an important part of God's Kingdom. We should never shy away from that.

How about men who are weak in the spirit.

Do I believe in women preachers? Only the kind that doesn't walk, talk, act or react like a man inside or outside of the pulpit. Nothing is more repulsive than a woman strutting around trying to prove what a preacher she is by wearing men looking suit jackets, doing her best to act like a bowed up rooster.
One of the dumbest things I've seen in any Church was while visiting a church that promoted women preachers. A woman preacher was asked to take up an offering during their annual services and swaggered up to the pulpit with her man looking jacket on and the first thing out of her mouth was "Bless God, I'm a woman and I'm a preacher and if you don't like it you can just live with it!" as she slammed her fist down on the pulpit.
The service died immediately and the pastor later told me it was the lowest offering they had ever gotten.
I have enjoyed the ministry of women preachers that act like ladies. The ones that turn my stomach are the ones that act like they are trapped in the middle of a sex change gone terribly wrong.
How pathetic to say your called to preach but act like a masculine lesbian.
God bless every woman preacher that remembers that she was created a woman first and then a preacher.
I think comments like the above are uncalled for, considering that nothing in your post indicated that she was 'acting like a masculine lesbian'. These kinds of comments really need to stop.

I see nothing at all wrong with the statement. The question was 'do you believe in women preachers'. My answer was 'as long as they don't try to act like men' or try to conduct themselves in or out of the pulpit like a bunch of masculine lesbians.
I believe in all the rest of them just fine. The ones I don't believe in are the ones who act like the masculine lesbian type. It's against the nature of God just as much as a bunch of feminine men who act like pantywaisted perverts.
Why in the whole world would it offend you to hear someone say they don't have confidence in women preachers who act like masculine lesbians? I find it strange indeed that anybody claiming to be saved would be offended by such. The masculine lesbian type - preacher or not - are offensive to God and most of those who claim to be His.

Can you believe that it's possible for a female to act in a masculine manner without acting like a lesbian? The two aren't even related, but I feel that your mention of lesbians is in line with those who feel that women preachers are equal to those kinds of women.
I have seen lots of what I consider 'feminine acting' men, but for one, that's my personal opinion, and two, I would never say that those men are acting like feminine queers because of what my personal opinion may be. I feel it's a slap in the face to the women preachers here who are lumped into that category and why your comment was allowed to stand while pics of what your comment represented were taken off this forum I don't understand.
