Here goes. <BR/><BR/>You, my friend were not oppressed. <BR/>You, my friend, were not minimalized. <BR/>You, my friend were not dictated to on what you could be when you grew up and STILL BE IN THE WILL OF GOD. <BR/>You were not told you were less because you were a woman. <BR/>You were not subjected to ridiculous dress. <BR/>You probably never looked into the eyes of a “man of God” and read his obvious disgust for you, simply because you possessed different anatomical components.<BR/>You were not treated like a second class citizen just because of your sex – by people who were supposed to HELP you grow spiritually. <BR/><BR/>And you do not still worry that thousands of little girls will have to go through the confusion and despair you did of believing that kind of life is the only way they can be close to God. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I’m still working on letting go – I’m not going to deny it. Yes, I know I need to forgive and let go – but I will never – NEVER - agree that the things that happened in my past…are past...because they’re not. They are a part of me, and I will campaign to the ends of the earth if necessary to help other women understand they do NOT have to LIVE THAT WAY TO BE GODLY.<BR/><BR/>There you go, kiddo. I love you – you know that, right? But dang it, this is important to me. <BR/><BR/>P.S. – Seriously? I just did this post, because if I had been a woman from another church attending the conference I would have wondered about the male speakers. Seriously. That’s the only reason. Okay? I’m not trying to bash anyone. <BR/><BR/>You, my friend, are a great guy.Ann-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514049768979005799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34359942.post-9671453984612211722008-04-22T06:00:00.000-07:002008-04-22T06:00:00.000-07:00I wish I could have been there!

How to make delectable meals and bring slippers to lounging husband so as to be his sex slave (marriage seminar). Finally, don't dare ask him to do anything around the house because he has had a hard day of work--anything to stroke his precious ego (workshop on proper communication).

And it's not because they loved me in Christ and valued my thoughts and abilities, let me tell you. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I just meant "in churches I've been in" not that other people's churches are necessarily like that. I can only speak from my own experience. <BR/><BR/>Plus, I should add, I would have been wondering what they were doing there if we'd been at any of our other churches - I was only trying to explain why they were there - and that it was a good thing. <BR/><BR/>The "old" me wouldn't have understood and resented it. I thought this might explain it. I'm sure other churches have wonderful, supportive men involved in women's ministries, as well.Ann-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514049768979005799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34359942.post-14972540775484689502008-04-21T14:33:00.000-07:002008-04-21T14:33:00.000-07:00Quick question...

Why do you assume that if there are men at the ladies conferences at those "other" Baptist churches that they wouldn't be there for the same reasons that your pastor and the men in your church were at your conference for? Does that make sense?Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246726570833278195noreply@blogger.com
