I disagree. Bringing the gospel to the people *is* the ultimate goal of those who endorse the ordination of women. It's sure as heck not because women want a job where they're basically on-call 24/7. It's not because they want to get rich from a hefty paycheck. It's not because they want to chair church board meetings where gripes and complaints need to be adjudicated. It's not because they like being under a microscope for what they say, what they do, and what they wear. It's not because they have a burning desire to be the object of scorn and derision from those who disagree with her choice of vocation. And it's definitely NOT because they want to "lord it over" men. The very idea of a woman spending thousands of dollars going through college and seminary with the sole goal of being a woman in a male-dominated UNDERPAID field is ludicrous and nonsensical. And it also defies logic to second guess a person's heartfelt calling by God to go into the ministry. Maybe the SDA church should start using dice to decide who should be ordained as pastors and leaders.... after all, it's scriptural.... the casting of lots was used time and time again in the Bible...

Rabbi Rothman was fresh out of rabbinical school and he was fortunate to find a job in a small Jewish community. Before he started his job, he thought that it would help him better understand human psychology if he first took a job as a policeman for several months. He passed the physical examination; then came the oral exam to test his ability to act quickly and wisely in an emergency. Among other questions he was asked, "What would you do to disperse a frenzied crowd?" He thought for a moment and then said, "I would start a funding drive for the shul’s building campaign."

Be ye saved.

And... Those large lakes that take the place of the oceans? I envision them full of colourful coral reefs full of swimming creatures. I know that lakes are fresh water and reefs live in ocean. But this is the new earth! Just trying to imagine what the eye hasn't seen and the mind cannot conceive.
