I know the answer, but do you? Someone reading this might really need to know what God's Word has to say.
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

Hey vicsikix, there are more things that older women are supposed to teach younger women (and a very important reason why). Can you find it in the Word?

channiek - remember when you asked "Why is it that most people on this site do not take the time to read the Bible and rather post the question?" Well, I am doing the opposite. I ask questions to encourage others to seek out the answers in Scripture. Thanks for your advice.

TITUS 2:3-5 (NIV)
"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God."

The Bible teaches older women to teach younger women to "love their husbands and children". Also, women are commanded to teach their own children God's Word.

Well it would appear that you know the 7 or 8 things, what is your motive for asking?
