It's like the village idiot mumbling about black helicopters from space out to get him, and then muttering "oh, BTW, E=MC2. If you're going to take Paul that literally, then you're going to have to buy into him not seeming to give a damn that he's condemening poor Onesimus to a life a slavery.<br /><br />Tara: Paul's Mr."Be submissive" and his logic sucks. [a FULL contrast to the Widsom reading at the TLM Mass this morning re: the viruous woman -- more on that later today. The autho of that thing "rocks the Casbah" essentially the GOOD woman has a lot going for her intrinsically, without "her man" "needing" to tell her every freakin' move -- the "virtuous cool man" is not intimidated by the "vituous cool wife" He's a strong man, so he need NOT fear the "Strong woman."<br />Paul was the goofy looking kid who never got over it. The loser kid sidling up to the girls "hey, baby, I'm the greatest, let me show you how the world rolls, and I can show you how to live because I know better then you cause I got dingleberries." "Take a hike, hoser."<br /><br />Sisto: Yep. ;-D<br /><br />Digi: Thanks! <br /><br />More on "Widsom" at lunchtime. I think the H.S. told Fr. G. to pick the St. Anne's Mass for my personal benefit.<br /><br />Oh, and Tara: Regards that women silent crap....don't forget they also PROPHESIED in church (along with the men....a practise I'm glad stopped, otherwise we'd be in church all day, the way some people prattle on. And no, I'm not at all in favor of women priests, any more than I am of women on a mixed submarine crew (too tight quarters!) or playing Hamlet. Paul's "hush" was partly due to women not used to being allowed to worship in assembly and them asking "what's going on? Blame Jews for not wising them up in the first place and keeping them "at home in their place barefoot and ignorant."<br /><br />Christianity, overall gives women a much better shake than anything else, don't get me wrong. I STILL can't stand Paul AS A PERSON.

And if he doesn't say it then how is that hinted at?<br /><br />My friend (single)likes the idea of keeping a home for a man - her prince, her warrior. Me, I'm lucky the hubby has lower standards than me and therefore I can get away with dusting 4 times a year whether the house needs it or not LOL! <br /><br />I think mentally men and woman should learn whatever turns their crank. <br /><br />One thing that used to bother me is that Paul says women should be silent in the churches. I see it a different way now. When religion is seen as a "woman" thing men start dropping off. Denoms with female ministers are NOT growing.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046773358292402621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-40480726377966203572009-06-08T06:28:05.415+01:002009-06-08T06:28:05.415+01:00Angela, men are usually better at upper body stren...Angela, men are usually better at upper body strength and killing black bugs in kitchen cabinets. But that's the thing..."too many stereotypes and pidgeonholes" WHICH man WHICH woman at WHICH task? They also tend to find direction by vector and are better (overall) at spatial relationships.<br /><br />One woman of my generation (and her best friend) were REALLY p.o.'d at their HS math teacher who just insisted that "women can't do math" he p.o.'d them so much they both evetually got Master's Degrees in the subject. I don't know if it was reverse psychology or whatever. I just don't like Paul's f'ing automatic assumptions that "he" is always smarter, better, faster, more "Godlike" and women is just some shlub to iron his freakin' tunic. Iron your own damn tunic, Paulie. [MIND you, if I *loved* someone I'd probably iron a tunic or two and keep his dinner warm, but because I LOVED him, and not because I "had to." ] My favorite story is the Martha/Mary one where Jesus is spending time TEACHING them, and Mary's getting it, but Martha is running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Jesus treated women like they had brains. The Pauline crew can pound sand, as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />[BTW, REAL male/female differences in the hardware ARE fascinating to me. But not this sociological BS head games Paulie used to keep the women under his thumb.]<br /><br />I'm not walkin' two paces behind anybody "just because Paul said so." Who died and made him King Dick? He can't even get his conversion story straight! Johnny-come-lately cloak holder as far as I'm concerned. He probably got shoved into a lot of lockers at schul. I bet the other guys snapped their towels at his rump.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-46404451136821403062009-06-08T04:30:35.938+01:002009-06-08T04:30:35.938+01:00Oh dear!Oh dear!Jackie Parkes MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693505024823229152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-4661122399048653982009-06-08T02:05:26.664+01:002009-06-08T02:05:26.664+01:00Oh - and I better put my veil on LOL!Oh - and I better put my veil on LOL!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046773358292402621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-291014466979034682009-06-08T01:55:05.232+01:002009-06-08T01:55:05.232+01:00Karen, let me say this gently, have you been takin...Karen, let me say this gently, have you been taking your horomones lately?
