<TITLE>21. Par 152-157</TITLE>L-152 Now you wonder why I've fought organization so hard all my life; I didn't know myself. But it was something within me crying out; I couldn't help it. I wondered, always wondered, why was--I always down on women so? See, all my life... Not the... I don't mean real women; I mean these supposed to be, you know, moral fibers broke out of them and everything, you know. That's the kind I... Something in me...
When I was a little, bitty, old boy, up there, and seen them women come up there on the road, and they know their husband's out working, and them up there with some guy, drunk; on the side of the road, and they'd walk them up and down the road, sober them up enough to get them home to cook their husband's supper. I said they ain't worth a clean bullet to go through them. That's right. I said they're lower than animals would do a thing like that. And I... When I was seventeen, eighteen years old, I'd see a--a girl coming down the street, I'd cross over on the other side; I said, "That stinking viper." See? And I would've been a real hater. But when I received God in my heart, God let me know that He's got some jewels out there; He's got some real ladies. They'll not all defile themselves like that; thank God for that.

L-154 When I was over in Africa, when I was over in Switzerland, and when I was in Rome; I was asked this question on it, "Hey, say, Brother Branham, don't you all have any decent women at all in America? Every song comes over here, there's something dirty about your women."
I said, "That's the Americans. But we got another Kingdom in existence over there; that's the Kingdom of God, and they are ladies to the core." They are...

L-156 The Bible said, over in--in the prophets, said... I believe it was about the 5th chapter of Isaiah (I'm not sure, it'd be in the 5th or 6th chapter there.), talking about, "Blessed is that daughter of Zion, shall escape in that day from all them things." How she'd walk down the street; she'd have her stockings rolled down; she'd mince as she walks, twist like that, and the things that she would do, just exactly the way they do now, just perfectly. Wear garments like a man, which is an abomination to God...

L-157 I seen a religious society awhile ago, going in to have a--some kind of a little blowout they have about every night, and these women all going in with these knickerbockers... Or--or what--what is them things they call them? Not shorts, but the others stuff. Yeah, they pedal pushers, or them things there... Oh... They need a pedal pushed, all right; brother, that's a board about that wide. That's right. Head comes and... Pedestrian that's on your foot, and that's exactly what they need. That's right.
But oh, you say, "Well, now, I think it's more decent for a woman to wear that than it is for a skirt."
God said, "It's an abomination in His sight for a woman to put on a garment..." And when a woman cuts her hair like a man... God wants a woman to look like a woman, dress like a woman, act like a woman.
