Satan works subtly. First, women give announcements in the churches. Then they read Scripture and become worship leaders with mini-sermons in between songs. They give their testimonies with some preaching added in. They give sermons when they pray. Finally, they preach behind the pulpits as pastors. This exact thing happened in our old church. It is an unbiblical church.
….
Women, feminism has so infiltrated the churches that they are far from what we are taught in Scripture. Be in the Word. Believe it as written. Don’t listen to those who twist it to their own destruction. Men are God ordained to be all of the leaders in all of the churches. His will is good. Stop fighting Him and trust Him. Now, go find a biblical church where there are no women in leadership positions.

The left side of her list sounds a lot more fun than the right side. Sorry Lori, it is almost impossible in todays world to make it on one income making that list hard to follow even for godly true christian women™️. Also what about the LGBTQIA+ community, how are they supposed to live godly lives(rhetorical, please don’t answer that, we all know what this toxic human would say).
lori is an exquisite idiot.
Her again?
Club–Your assessment is correct because of what Trenton has described. Folks like Lori are trying to defend things that are simply untenable today, or never were tenable in the first place.
“Meek/quiet spirits” is something Lori says women should cultivate in themselves. Well, Lori, you sure don’t follow THAT rule, do ya? You are loud and outspoken, something you condemn in other women. What did ol’ J.C. say about religious hypocrites? “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” And “For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead man’s bones and all uncleanness.” Look for the “dead bones” in yourself and clean ‘em out. And as you do, be humble and charitable and don’t judge those who are living decent lives but don’t follow your narrow playbook.
You know who was instrumental in my becoming a feminist? Someone who would be a big surprise to Lori. My grandfather was a WWII combat veteran, a deacon (and chairman of deacons for awhile) at a Southern Baptist church. He was well-respected in our community because he quietly helped people and connected those in need with those who could help. After he died, people I barely knew reached put to tell us how he had done this or that to help them. And this same man who selflessly served others because it was the right thing to do taught me that I needed to have an education and a career so that I wouldn’t need to be financially dependent on a man. He knew too many women – including his own daughter (my mother) – who were in terrible situations because they had been financially tied to a man. Of his 4 grandchildren, his 2 granddaughters are the ones with college degrees, careers, and financial independence. Lori is flat-out wrong.
