I had a friend who married a JW and he seems to be a very nice guy. We were talking of biblical history and she misquoted scripture (I've studied the bible for both religious reasons as well as because of my interest in history and cultural anthropology). She looked to her husband to see if I was right, he looked it up to prove me wrong and became very agitated. I stayed calm as I'd been the one mistaken in the past, more than once. Since then, she has not been permitted to be my friend and was wondering if what he said was true about how he could not listen or believe anything I said because of biblical constraints. Do the JW believe this; that a woman shouldn't point out to a man something he doesn't know? Does this mean when they go on a car trip, she can't read the map for him or do they need to use a male-voiced Siri?
