The first thing that I want to say is that I have met some women that would be wonderful deacons and pastors. It is not a matter of ability, but eligibility. I liken this to my daughter; she took AP Government in High School, she probably understood the electoral process better that anyone I knew,

HATE
One of the worst cases of hatred I have ever come across is found in a will written in 1935 by a Mr. Donohoe. It says, "Unto my two daughters, Frances Marie and Denise Victoria, by reason of their unfilial attitude toward a doting father...I leave the sum of $1.00 to each and a father's
