When leaders teach that women cannot judge prophesy (or teachings), the end result is that women must believe what only men tell them. They cannot or are forbidden from thinking for themselves in the area of divine truths. This is the danger of such teachings. IMO it is an effort to dumb down their women which is unhealthy for the women, and lift up their men which leads to arrogance and is unhealthy for the men.

As a new Christian I lived through the Shepherding Movement and experienced this teaching personally. It is insidious. It shifts women’s focus from God to males.

I am sorry if my language in this statement is offensive, but I lived this. And do not recommend any women believe such a teaching.
