I know there is another thread about angels. I have not kept up with it. Have there been any comments on (Revelation 7:1) After this I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding tight the four winds of the earth, so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.
In particular when does this occur and what will result when they let the four winds blow?

Roigam is a Jehovah's Witness so he will be able to tell you that there is indeed at least one "male" angel - Jesus Christ, who the JW's claim is also the Archangel Michael.

Who or what are these?
Zechariah 5:9 New International Version (NIV)
9 Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

Just metaphoric visions. Earlier in that same chapter, an angel asked "what do you see", and the response was "a flying scroll". The angel said that this represented a curse. In that same conversation with the angel, there was also a basket that represented "iniquity". So in answer to your question, the "women" are metaphors.

As an angel Jesus has no gender. He was a male on earth in order to be the last Adam. He was a perfect male to balance perfectly the perfect male Adam to buy back what Adam lost.
btw Is there some reason you are fixated on JW s?
Did a JW step on your corn?
I would venture to say many others have stepped on your corn in your lifetime. Why focus on JW s?

Which forum should JW theology be discussed on in your view?
Do you believe that Archangel Michael and Jesus are one in the same?

Ever heard of context? See, what you did was post a verse out of context in order to try to prove me wrong. However, the surrounding context makes that verse clear. That's all it takes to interpret any text: context.
