“They have designed the perfect Control Paradigm – since to even question it makes a woman guilty of unsubmissiveness, if not worse.”

Further, in living among comp/hierarchalists, some men will not lower themselves to discussing it with a woman who disagrees. Such a woman who does not choose to inordinately adore the men in the church deferring everything of seeming importance to them and every doctrinal question to their decision, is seen as a rebellious unchristian-like woman. That is one way to ‘control’ the dissidents. Many men do not feel they need to qualify their beliefs on this issue to a woman who disagrees.

When there was a group of men in our church who applauded the book “Wild at Heart”, they started going around calling the women ‘beauties’. I made a few remarks that women were not just beauties or ornaments and I disliked the way the author characterized the women, I was viewed pitifully as if I didn’t understand the great gift I was being given by being viewed that way. But no one was willing to discuss it. 🙂
