In the summer I registered for the True Women 08 conference but I had a battle inside of me about going. Especially as the conference drew closer. I had so many worries about how this and that would work out. I even tried to get someone else to take my place. But the day before the day we left everything was in place and I was excited. So excited that I didn't even sleep a wink.(neither did some of the others)So off we went at 5:00am Thursday Morning. It was a time that I'll never forget and never be the some. And telling about it doesn't do it justice but I do want to share some.....
In the 1950's Betty Friedan started a movement among women which lead to a revolution. There was a feeling of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. It was a problem without a name. There was a "Concienceness Raising" This was to promote women to talk about their unhappiness about being just a wife and mother. Some didn't even know that they were unhappy until this movement. In the 60's they named it "Patriarchy" Pater means Father and archy means rule. So it means breaking apart from the rule of men. So the thinking started "we don't need men",we can do anything without them". So women rebelled, became demanding and a revolution was fanned into flame. Forty years ago in Chicago there was a feminist movement conference. The women there were told to go home and tell 2 women the things that they heard at the feminist conference. It spread like wild fire. So there we were 40 years later hearing the truth being unveiled. There were 200 women at that conference. And there were more than 6000 women at this True Women Conference. So what would happen if we would go home and tell 2 other women. The truth about the true role of a women as is clearly seen in the Bible. So we need to change our course completely and swim up stream like a salmon the rest of our days. So some might say that the feminists of that day were obviously non-believers. So it didn't effect us. We have all been influenced by the colors of feminism. That's why women are so unhappy just being a wife and mother. They pursue other goals to find real fulfillment. Some even completely switch roles with their husband. He stays home and wife goes to works. They say it works... There are many other ways in which the feminist view point has effected even Christians. If you go to True Women 08 website and listen to a message by Mary Kassian you will find way more then I can mention here... And there was so much more that we seen and heard that has impacted my life for the better.
