As the members of this community know, I am the mother of three boys. I have been praying for a daughter for over a year now, but it seems that God has left me empty, well that and Seth's work schedule.
Anyway, as my oldest boy will be 10 in March and my second son just turned 9 I have noticed a great discrepancy in our community. Where are the daughters? Who will my sons marry?
I am seriously concerned about the despise that this community has for girls, to the point that they're seen as a curse. What finally brought this to a head was this thread where two fine upstanding True Christian(TM) men (Brother Hank and Brother JustGotSaved) are vying for the hand of a woman of questionable background. Do we really want the young men in our community to marry any woman they can snag? Or do we want to raise proper God Fearing girls that will prove to be proper God Fearing wives? Look at some of the issues that some of our True Christian(TM) men have had because they married a woman of questionable background.
Yes it is true that a woman is to submit, first to her father and then to her husband, however do you think that you will find a woman who can follow the following rules in todays sicular society?
Then there's Proverbs 31. Do you think a sickular woman is going to buy a field and plant vines with her own hands? No they're going to whine and cry and demand that you're being abusive because you didn't buy them the latest TV to watch Oprah on.
So to sum it up scripturally.
You should marry a True Christian(TM) woman who knows her role.
You should not marry someone who is not a True Christian(TM) as it will cause you grief
True Christian(TM) parents raise the next generation of True Christians(TM)
So please, PLEASE, PLEASE. Let's consider the importance of women in our community just for the simple fact that we're starting to look like the opposite of a Mormon compound. Yes women are worth less in the eyes of God, but we don't want our sons to marry strange women and go whoring after strange Gods, now do we?
