Since a regular theme in the Bible is to suppress women and place them below men, will they be treated the same way in heaven? Why or why not?
Will women be suppressed in heaven too?

Well, logically, they should not be suppressed if they are truly without sex differences.
But in Watchtower logic - yes, they must be suppressed because they would have earth memories of being a woman.

Good question. I think the society views women in a subjugated position even in heaven. I simply think they cannot fathom the thought of any other type of woman...

Well, I have often wondered about that.
Jesus did say that there was not to be sex in heaven - but recall that before the flood, the bad angels noticed that "the daughters of men were good looking"...

Purely speculative of course, but is there no differentation of sex once in heaven?

Assuming God of the bible exists, and the bible is his inspired works...then the suppression of women is from God. Based on that, I'd say women going to heaven would deal with the same second class citizen status.

No sex in heaven? Now that sounds like hell!

Technically, I believe the verse says "not marrying or being given in marriage" - so I guess it does leave some room for doubt.

Good point. Does that mean all angels have sexual desires and only the bad ones acted on them? If there are sexual desires in spirit beings such as angels, then wouldn't logic suggest there is a sex distinction amongst them?
