Re: [ZION] Confusion in Gospel Doctrine Class

[Stacy Smith]

Well, I am, for one, angry that it seems a woman could never leave home 
until she was married.  This Biblical state of affairs caused a lot of 
conflict in my own life and made me bitter.  Even when society said I could 
leave home I tried several times and always ended up with a nervous 
breakdown.  Not only was I competing with the idea that I was handicapped 
but also I felt I could make no decision without asking my family.  In my 
opinion this led to inability to make proper decisions in life to the point 
where at age 45 I still feel like a girl of 13.

Paul, before you go through a tirade like that you really ought to
understand the subject.  I think that if you really take a look at the
subject you would find a completely different approach than the one you
suggest.
The relationship between a married couple has been used for centuries, and
for good reason, to suggest the proper relationship between Christ and his
followers.  I do not think that this would be the case if the marriage, and
the womans part in it, were so despicable as you suggest.
I am currently reading a book called "Beloved Bridegoom" by Donna B.
Nielsen.  It discusses this topic.  It has a sub-title of "Finding Christ in
Ancient Jewish Marriage and Family Customs."  You might find this very
informative.
