A Sentinela de 15 de março de 1964 disse às mulheres que, na congregação, uma irmã 'would not be found debating with brothers or publicly criticizing them', e que, quando um homem desse uma resposta errada numa reunião, ela poderia citar o parágrafo impresso, mas 'neither by her comment nor by her tone of voice would she be critical of the brother's answer'. Acrescentou que seria melhor o dirigente designar outros homens, para evitar constrangimento.

The Watchtower, “The Privileges of the Christian Woman”

15 de março de 1964 · pp.178-183 · pars. 11-12 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“Where a wrong comment is offered by a male person in the audience, during the Watchtower study for example, this does not require the sister if called on to follow along and make her comment agree with the incorrect thought given. But neither by her comment nor by her tone of voice would she be critical of the brother's answer.”

The article sets out what a woman may and may not do in the congregation. It explains that 'keep silent in the congregations' does not mean total silence, but that 'a sister would not be found debating with brothers or publicly criticizing them, either at a meeting or to other members of the congregation at other times, nor would she exercise authority over the brothers as a teacher or instructor'. It adds that if other mature men are present it would be better for the conductor to call on them instead, and 'thus avoid any possible embarrassment'.

Nota de procedência e verificação

Nota de confiança. The full article was fetched from the Watchtower Online Library on 19 September 2026 and read. The quoted paragraph 12 falls between the library's page markers for pages 181 and 182, so it is on p. 181. The citation code inside the document reads 'w64 3/15 pp. 178-183'.

Notes. The same article states that 'no woman could serve as a Levite priest', that women who share the heavenly hope do so in a way that 'would not be as women, but as glorious spirit creatures in the heavens', and that God 'takes into account the sex distinction as to service arrangements in his organization'. Earlier paragraphs describe the wife's role largely in terms of the home: 'A home that is kept clean, neat and orderly is usually a testimony to the fact that here lives a capable wife.'
