  “‘You talk as any wicked fool of a woman might talk." New English Bible. Note that the WTS departs from the NWT because they feel this is the better rendering.

  Is there another negative quote about women that occurs to you when you see the scripture?

  Now even his wife urges him to give up: “Curse God and die!” But Job rebukes her: “‘You talk as any wicked fool of a woman might talk. If we accept good from God, shall we not accept evil?’ Throughout all this, Job did not utter one sinful word.”​—Job 2:10, New English Bible.

  If Job didn't utter a sinful word, then obliviously God gives out evil as well as good.

  “I say to you that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Gehenna.”​—Matthew 5:22.

  Guess Job only said Wicked fool. And his wife had to have 10 more children with him.

  Were women made in the image of God?

  As Genesis 1:26 says
  

  Then God said: “Let us+ make man in our image,+ according to our likeness,+ and let them

  Who are "them"? There is an exception as to having god's qualities:

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101980242?q=woman+image&p=par
  

  In a particular respect man was in God’s image where woman was not​—in headship. (1 Cor. 11:3, 7)

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1972527?q=image+woman&p=par
  

  The woman’s position thus is one that cannot reflect God’s position of headship toward his creatures, and it is this matter of headship that is discussed in 1 Corinthians chapter 11. Jehovah God is not subject to anyone. Unlike the woman, the man does not have an earthly head over him when it comes to matters relating to his wife and children. Hence in this respect he alone is “God’s image.”

  The WT is full of misogynists. So were the Israelites. So has been for a lot of mankind. All about who you can have power over and how many you can get on your side to keep it.

  Hence in this respect he alone is “God’s image.”

  When I see this scripture ,I ask ,who is us ?....our image ? ....our likeness ?

  Obviously he is talking about his peers other God`s with him Yes ?

  Unlike the woman, the man does not have an earthly head over him when it comes to matters relating to his wife and children.

  Another example of WT saying one thing and practicing another. Just how many rules and regulations do the earthly human WT leaders trot out to try to control JW men and their families? They are double tongued hypocrites!
