    So why are there directives on how to run a church in the official doctrine of this religion?

    B/c the religion was invented by people who run churches.

    If they’re only meant to be relevant to Timothy, shouldn’t they have been cut with the rest of the apocrypha?

    It seems pretty obvious from the context that the quote is about dis/allowing disruptions during church.

      So then the correct interpretation is that women are not to speak over men, at least in matters within the domain of the faith? And as such the OP stands at face value, no?
