<DIV><BR></DIV>> Questions: Doesn't Nancy get paid for the "articles"
that she writes? Does <BR>> this make her a working wife that is
helping support his girthness? And <BR>> what about his daughter
owning(!) a business? Isn't she working outside the <BR>> home and

Hmmmm..........Doug - you need to make sure your own home is being run as

[Vision2020] Reviews DW001<BR>>>Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 10:23:58 -0500
(EST)<BR>>><BR>>> Federal Husband<BR>>>by
Douglas Wilson<BR>>><BR>>>Reviewer:J.R.Corry "ceebcorry2" (Fl)
- See all my reviews<BR>>>In my review for Nancy Wilson's book "The Fruit
of her Hands", I<BR>>>mentioned how Ms. Wilson seemed constantly nervous
about displeasing<BR>>>her husband. Now I know why; her husband is nothing
short of sexist and<BR>>>controlling, not only of his wife but apparently
of his entire church.<BR>>>His statement that the women in his church
aren't allowed to read this<BR>>>book should be the first clue, but that's
just one of several extremely<BR>>>offensive
statements.<BR>>><BR>>>There's hardly a thing in this entire
book<BR>>>regarding women or marriage that I found helpful or even
Biblical.<BR>>>Wilson says we should question everything the modern woman
does, even<BR>>>going to college! Does he really expect us to pull women
out of college<BR>>>in the name of Christianity? But then, if he thinks
women are made<BR>>>simply to get married and bear children, I guess it's
not surprising<BR>>>that he doesn't think we should have educations.
Here's a little<BR>>>shocker, Wilson: women are meant to do far more than
marry. This is<BR>>>proved by the fact that Eve was given a brain as well
as Adam.<BR>>><BR>>>One of<BR>>>the main things that angered
me about this book was that Wilson<BR>>>shamelessly ripped
B!<BR>>> ible passages out of context in order to
support<BR>>>his ridiculously s<BR>>>exist views. As an example, he
listed a passage in<BR>>>which someone in the Bible (I honestly cannot
remember if it was God or<BR>>>not), while furiously addressing men in a
certain village, said "Women<BR>>>rule over you and children oppress you."
You get the sarcasm there? He<BR>>>was obviously accusing those men of
being utterly spineless and saying<BR>>>they needed to stand up for
themselves. Wilson, however, took his angry<BR>>>and very sarcastic words
to mean that God doesn't want women to be<BR>>>leaders, ever. Um, WHERE
did he get that? That particular Bible passage<BR>>>involved someone who
was ticked off and was addressing a certain group<BR>>>of weak men, NOT
all mankind. The passage didn't even really have<BR>>>anything to do with
women, so to rip that out of context and interpret<BR>>>it as God's words
for all mankind is simply nonsense; only a man with<BR>>>an agenda could
find such ridiculous meaning behind something
like<BR>>>that.<BR>>><BR>>>Calling female leadership a curse
is one of !<BR>>> the most lame things<BR>>>you could possibly
do considering all the leading females in the Bible,<BR>>>including
Deborah, who helped lead a battle, counseled men and operated<BR>>>as a
judge, and had a song made in her honor. This book, unlike the<BR>>>Bible,
is chock-full of images of spineless women. Before all the<BR>>>feminists
get mad, though, let me assure you that Wilson gives plenty<BR>>>of bad
advice for men too, even saying that the husband's solely<BR>>>responsible
for any problem in the marriage and the household.<BR>>><BR>>>Wilson
even scolds men who let their wives work, saying that if men
can't<BR>>>provide for their wives enough by themselves, they fail as
husbands. I<BR>>>found this almost amusingly offensive; have you looked at
the job<BR>>>market, Wilson? Haven't you ever seen good husbands
struggling to<BR>>>provide for their families? Not only does he imply that
women are<BR>>>simpletons who need caring for, but he seems determined to
dump the<BR>>>world on men's shoulders and this!<BR>>>
is simply not right.<BR>>><BR>>>Several times he<BR>>>acts as
though he be<BR>>>lieves marriage to simply be a contract
("I'll<BR>>>provide for you if you bear me children") and he even goes so
far as to<BR>>>say that sex is just a duty and doesn't need any spark to
be enjoyed.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Wilson gives the impression of a
guy so sequestered in his own little<BR>>>church and beliefs that he's
totally unaware of how the real world<BR>>>works, not to mention how real
minds work. His matter-of-fact, almost<BR>>>dull tone in the book imply
that he's just a guy laying out all the<BR>>>facts and we should act
accordingly. I find it hard to believe that he<BR>>>expects us to accept
these ideas as Christian
behavior.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Reviewer:Bradford-Ewart
"Freedom!" (Burnaby, Canada) - See all my
reviews<BR>>>Ew!<BR>>><BR>>>I don't even want to give this
book a star. Can you give
negative<BR>>>stars?<BR>>><BR>>>Since I've been doing an in
depth study on Biblical Equality, I<BR>>>thought I'd pick up this book and
see this guys point of view. The<BR>>>ideas presented in this book are so
entirely unbiblical that I couldn't<BR>>>even stand it. He states ideas
like: sexism isn't really a sin, and a<BR>>>woman's "purpose" is to bear
children and serve a man. Not only are<BR>>>they entirely untrue, but his
arguments to support his cases are really<BR>>>bad. One example of this
(and the book is full of them) is how he<BR>>>mentions how husbands are to
love their wives as Jesus loves the<BR>>>church, but twists it and says
that Paul meant this in an "entirely<BR>>>mundane" way. C'mon buddy! I'm
sorry, but Jesus' love for me is more<BR>>>than
"mundane".<BR>>><BR>>>My advice is to not read this book, but if you
do, and<BR>>>if you know pe!<BR>>> ople that adhere to these
blasphemous world-views, teach<BR>>>them about<BR>>> how Jesus
came to set women free. Not to set them free to be<BR>>>only housewives
(which, by the way, is an entirely 19th century ideology), <BR>>>but to
set them free to choose, to bring complete and total<BR>>>equality between
ALL people. Don't even try to tell me that the women<BR>>>who followed
Jesus around on his public ministry were
housewives.<BR>>><BR>>>Think<BR>>>about these issues and don't
just accept ideas like Mr. Wilson's<BR>>>disgusting stereotyping and
misconstrued ideas about what Jesus has<BR>>>done for humankind. Jesus
came to set ALL people free: males, females,<BR>>>slaves, different races,
Jews and Gentiles! Stand firm then, and do not<BR>>>let yourselves be
burdened again by a yoke of
slavery!<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>Juanita
