lesschumras: Thanks for bringin a possuk to support my “possition”. My position is and has always been that one must have a guidance of a Rav in all of these things. Many things are “assur” except when they are not, as decided by the Rabbinic leaders who safegaurd the Torah.
“Torah lo bashamayim He”, and therefor we down here on earth must follow our gedolim and not rely on ourselves.
