WASHINGTON: Are the Promise Keepers nothing more than right-wing zealots determined to force women back into the dark ages of servitude? That's the fear of some feminist organizations, which continued to bash the religious group today as it prepared for a soul-searching extravaganza tomorrow in Washington's National Mall.
