Apostolic Feminists

Do you believe they exist?

My wife, who is very active in District Ladies ministry, tells me that more and more she sees women speakers who's mannerisms and demeanor seem to be quite masculine. They scream, pound the pulpit, line everybody out on standards and such.

Recently, I had a chance to watch a lady preacher from TBN. Her first name was Paula (I can't remember the last name). She exhibited what my wife told me she keeps seeing at some of our "ladies" conferences.

It was revolting. I can't stand to see male preachers who priss around like fairies, and I can't stand to see women preachers/speakers who stomp around like lumberjacks.

Does feminism have a place in the Apostolic movement?

In my opinion NO! You can be used of God and be a minister and be a lady but you should NOT act like a dude!!!!!!!!!!

Pastor, my grandmother whom you know well may have had some quirks but all the years of her ministry she maintained a feminine quality that in my mind exemplifies a Godly woman.

Maybe "pertaineth to a man" should go beyond clothing.

Well I believe in women ministers, preaching.

I don't think they have to just stand there and read their notes in a soft gentle voice.

I don't think it is wrong for them to emphasize their points either.

So I guess my question is this, how would you "suggest" they emphasize their points without offending you, if they are not allowed to a) raise their little voices b) hit the pulpit c) stomp their feet d) anything else?

I should have said RADICAL feminism.

What I mean is a woman who has a domineering, controlling demeanor and acts like a man when she is preaching/speaking. She may something like this "ladies, you need to go home and tell your husbands!!!!"........ and then you fill in the rest. (My wife says this happens a lot.)
