"attend an assembly of believers" ? All the time. At my home, at homes of friends, on my boat, marina, grocery store....where ever.
"with pastors" ? Sometimes.
"deacons" ? None with that title, as I recall.
Should women vote in business meetings

I thought so.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching. -
So, if a man acts unscripturally. It then makes it fine for a woman to act against scripture? -

Not to be unkind, but I would not join or stay in a church where I was not allowed to vote.

Salty, I don't believe the Lord would call me to serve in this type of church. This type of church is all about control.

The only correct answer is "if the Lord calls me I will go"
Here is a verse to consider:
Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ
Also I found this quote:If you obey when God says go, your life will become more than you could have ever dreamed it would be. Sure, in the end it may not always reflect the life you would have chosen for yourself, but it will be one that counted for more than you ever thought possible. We all want to be significant. We all want to live for more than we are living for right now. And we all desire to be real. We don't want to be fake or to wear a mask.
Back in 1980, the Army assigned me to Wildflecken, Germany -a small town about -5 miles from the East German Border. From what others told me - I did NOT want to go.- in addition IAW Army policy, I should not have went - But I ended up on that Train to "WildChicken".
Short Story - The Lord led me to start a Bible study - that study let to the Formation of Fellowship Baptist Church. Currently one of our members is now
a missionary in New Guinea, and and several others are in full time ministry. While there, we saw several come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am blessed to know that the Lord did NOT answer my prayer request back in 1980.
With God all things are possible. -
Women voting. A church business meeting, yes. The General election, NO!

Statistically in America, Women are consistently more leftist at the polls than men. In the early days after 1920, twas common for the household to vote the same. Over time, that dramatically changed. Liberal Media has pushed the womens revolution, as well as all other civil revolutions, to the point that this country has more dividing lines than one can count.

That is an astute observation. Women should not be allowed to vote if they vote otherwise than I think is correct. But why limit it to women? It would be much better, I think, if the only people allowed the franchise are those who would vote as I desire. That would solve so many problems.
-
I agree with rsr. The world would be a much better place if everyone was just like me. :D:D:D
-
Why would anyone want to vote against me - since I am always right
-
Because what you are implying is it is ACCEPTABLE to you.
Here is one for you, that also (like Heb 10:25) does not mention a "Church building requirement", to assemble or gather.
Matt.18
- [20] For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
I don't require a "particular" kind of building to have a daily relationship with the Lord.
Seems a bit sad for those who have, what? A once or twice a week relationship with the Lord when they can get to that "particular" kind of building. :( -
Nobody mentioned a building. Do you drink?

Neither TCassidy or I would define "church" as being a building. It may refer to a building a church meets in. I use the definition my Baptist Polity professor, Richard Weeks taught:
Church
An organized autonomous band of immersed believers, having New Testament officers, observing New Testament and actively carrying out the Great Commission.
