George you've been denouncing me from early on, from when I dared to believe God's word says something different about the head covering than you think it says. I'm out of order only because I'm a woman you happen to disagree with. You don't merely disagree, though, you have to denounce me personally, over and over and over. If I disagree with what you say and agree with what Matthew Henry says, I quote him and not you. I'm mostly trying to avoid you and not get run over by you, as opposed to denigrating you, George. If you were an elder in my own church I guess I'd have to shut up or leave the church.

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. I recognize you as a man of God of exemplary Christian life who is sincerely applying His word as you sincerely understand it.

But I do disagree with you, and I don't know how I am to handle that, especially when you go around denouncing me as a sophist. I'm not a humanist, I'm not a sophist, I'm right about the head covering and I'm right about the need for the Bible to be updated. Accepting your "instruction" would be nothing other than being forced to agree with you. I don't know what else I'm supposed to be "instructed" about.

I'll leave it to God to judge between the two of us.
