Obey Them that Rule???

Using your office as an analogy for what happens in the CHURCH is not valid. There is no comparison.

Once, when I was growing up, at one of those Saturday rest home services my dad held, a little old lady thought I was her son and tried to take me back to her room in her rest home... she sincerely believed she was my mother, should I have followed her because she believed she was in a position of authority over me?

Again, an invalid analogy.

It is not your place to question GOD about whether HE has placed someone over you.
