“Carry on as men.” (1 Corinthians 16:13, NWT 1984)
”Those charged with oversight of a congregation are described in the Bible as being males. The 12 apostles of Jesus Christ were all males, and those later appointed to be overseers and ministerial servants in Christian congregations were males.” (Reasoning From the Scriptures, page 432) But unfortunately, “men think,” hence they are less prone to the pseudo-religious moronism spread by Jehovah’s Witnesses. (Making Your Family Life Happy, page 52) That is why “fewer men than women are embracing the Kingdom message” and there are more women than men in the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Are these congregations lacking leadership? True, “since ancient times qualified ‘older men’ have been used to take the lead in the affairs of Jehovah’s people.” (The Watchtower, September 1, 1983, page 18) But according to the Bible, “Christian women [are] to carry on as men.” (The Watchtower, October 1, 1982, page 25) Some women even “act with more understanding than older men.” (Psalm 119:100) And “the time left is reduced,” hence it is appropriate that Jehovah now also uses women as “men to take the lead in spiritual matters.” – 1 Corinthians 7:29; The Watchtower, November 15, 2011, page 28.
