God has an order

1 Corinthians 11:6:

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

Put your hat on, Paula. I'm definitely seeing uncovered hair there, and we know how God is about that.

Preaching to the innocent masses with that sinful outfit.

Next Stop! Gilead!

FYI to Lemmy non-Christian’s: Paula White is an incredibly controversial figure in the evangelical community. Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies). This differs from traditional tithing which typically is used for salaries, services (keeping the lights on), and community outreach.

Why evangelicals can’t point to her malfeasance as evidence of Trump’s corruption is a mystery to me. Additionally many conservative Christians don’t believe women should be in a position of authority, citing the same scripture she is here as evidence. If she were morally consistent she’d quit her “ministry” and go home.

Sounds like the Prosperity Gospel to me.

This was the first thought I had when I read the headline.

Hey if that’s her kink, good on her. But keep it to yourself lady

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

It's her kink for that to happen to other women, it doesn't apply to her. They're all like that.

It is hard to read that kind of statement without thinking about a wide variety of toys and things to do with them.

How could she accept the role of the head of an office if she thinks women should submit to men?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago

Hypocrisy is the water conservative “Christians” swim in.

1 Tim. 2:11-12: “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Be silent Paula

Break the bonds that bind you. Give up religion and you are free from everyone that tries to tell you what god wants.

Can't wait to pull this one out of my pocket at the family July 4th picnic.

I think all the women in her office should submit their resignations.

Ellen Barkin has really changed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

So she will be Aunt Lydia then?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But what if I want to be the one who submits?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I don't think that the Bible prohibits commanding a woman to command. Checkmate, Scripture.

Just like Judith did to Holofernes, serving him copious wine and cheeses.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

See that takes all the fun out of BDSM.

If she has to submit to me then it's not a willing exchange of power and it removes the pleasure of gaining control where you have none (or I suspect the opposite is true for subs - the pleasure of giving up control that you have to maintain).

Shared this with the wife. Her response:

Fuck you, no. You get what you give.

Sums it up pretty nicely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Tell her that that great moral authority, the Trump administration, says otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

"I'm up here working on the initiatives for President Trump, who's been in ministry for 40 years and understands it,"

I'm sorry what the hell?!?? Trump has been in ministry for 40 years?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You misunderstand; its Ministry (the band) /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Trump isn't even Christian. That much is obvious.
