We had fruit trees in the neighborhood. The owners of those trees, (including my family), didn't necessarily pick the fruit in a timely fashion. Often the fruit was just eaten off the tree and the rest rotted off. I distinctly remember the smell of rotten fruit. I wouldn't keep talking about fruit inspection if I were you. Especially since you keep assuming it is your duty to inspect improperly.

I think all those services are hard to compare. I could have called myself a pastor woman years ago and have everyone get mad, while I only once or twice taught 5 women a sermon my ex wrote from a paper in a room, not on sunday, because it was about women issues and it was weird if he did that. In our services (a tiny group in a house now) it's normal for a woman to say something or give a testimony before or after the preaching.
Once went to Canada. Pastors conference. One woman who was an elder or elder's wife whatever didn't dare talk to me because I was the wife of the senior paster. Senior paster LOL we had 20 people and 2 elders or decans. Can't even remember. It was that important.

The Baptist church I attended had a deacons council of men who voted and made decisions about the church,..so I don't think pastors are deacons...but then what is a bishop? I know Roman Catholic bishops oversee a region with many pastors underneath, but that doesn't define pastor...all these terms...kind of confusing.
I think a lot of the confusion is maybe we each have a different idea on what the roles are? It looks to some that I'm saying women shouldn't teach at all which is far from what I meant. Women are very important in the church. We are necessary for a church. I'm pretty sure others may not see what im saying fully
