I DO have a question whether I'm supposed to keep my mouth shut in company with an elder of another church who doesn't have authority over me and with whom I disagree. It doesn't make me happy. I don't like being in this position. I don't want to question your authority.

Connie, that scripture about women keeping silence is only supposed to apply to married wives to their husbands. No such restriction as to silence is supposed to be imposed on women in any other way, except with respect to church order. Another factor is that women in Paul's time were relatively unlearned as to matters of the law, mostly because men were taught the law and not women in those days.
