John,

I would encourage you to have a look at the articles on 1 Cor. 14. that I have written especially:
http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2008/09/16/the-elusive-law/
http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2008/09/19/is-a-womans-voice-filthy/
http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2008/09/21/who-dared-to-contradict-paul/

These should help you to understand why we must see the prohibition demanding complete silence of women in the assembly as a demand from the letter written to Paul.  If not we have a serious problem with verse 36 because the inspired Greek contradicts the verses that are just preceding.

Again, thanks for joining the conversation!
