The Roman Catholic church is about Unity in Diversity.  Protestants, Adventists included, don't have a central human authority to arbitrate disagreements.  We have to arbitrate them ourselves.  The GC can't do that, neither can the Unions.  It isn't like you settle anything if you get your way.  Monte's argument is exhibit "A".  

We will have to persuade each other if we are to remain united.  Or we have to separate.  You all think the change in theology and doctrine concerning WO is biblical. I do not.  Fine persuade me .  I listen respectfully to sound arguments. 

The problem is the pro-WO believers largely think Equality is a biblical doctrine.  For them, equality is a component of righteousness itself.   It is very difficult to persuade someone their basic premise is false.

 I think the story of bible is, start to finish, a story about inequality.  It is a story about God choosing whom He will choose. The inequality between men and women is part of my basic premise.
