We all know that the JW cult is discriminating women. And homosexuals, and certainly others groups too.
But this is not uncommon for other christian denominations too.

And religions i full. Only the pagan religion is holding women priests high. (Are there more religions that do that?)
Well, the Catholic Church doesn't believe it is permitted to ordained women, simply because there is no explicit precedent in tradition. You will find, however, that there exist many married Catholic priests. While celibacy is certainly the norm, there are many married Eastern-rite priests and convert priests who enjoy special exemption. The Catholic Church also univerally permits married men to become deacons. So your characterisation here is not quite accurate.
