TD Jakes expresses orthodox notions about women s role in society

In his sermon on June 18, TD Jakes focused on how "real men pour in." He explained: "If Adam had not allowed Eve to pour into him, sin would have never come into the world. Sin came into the world because Adam broke the order…We were not designed to receive from women. Your self-esteem is compromised when you have to ask your wife for lunch money. ... And Adam, all of a sudden, has allowed the curse to come because he stopped pouring." According to TD Jakes, women are supposed to take just about anything from men and make it better. He later clarified that the lack of adherence to this social order goes against what God wants and apparently "destroys families." As per the video, the attendees applauded Jakes as he spoke about how women progressed in the corporate world and began earning for themselves, but sacrificed their families in the process. He added: "This breaks all the sociological order of the culture we are living in now because we are raising up women to be men. And you are not applauded for your femininity. You are applauded in contemporary society by how tough, rough, nasty, mean, aggressive, hateful, possessive you are. And you're climbing the corporate ladder, but we are losing our families." Amongst other backward notions about women's value in the social hierarchy, TD Jakes further added how women should not lead men as it breaks the "divine order." Later, he spoke about how women should not use children to be vindictive towards their husbands. The Potter's House of Dallas pastor explained how a court's order for child support could force men to send money but not the support the children would need as they grow up.

I’d d*e on the hill and say he owes his success to these successful, independent women. So since they soooo out of God’s will maybe they should stop tithing.
