Church is boring.

If it lacks Jesus, then it ought to be.
There's little more disgusting than the religousity-trapings severed from the Vine.

And.. You keep telling them what they want is not acceptable, but every other outlet tells them it’s ok.

Debatable; every 'want' is not necessarily a sin [e.g. to be competent at your work], but there are many good wants that Satan can [and does] twist to evil.
Given the talk about the dangers of authoritarianism, there is the possibility that the first category is what's being told is not acceptable.

And..every time we’ve “ trusted” an elder, we’ve gotten screwed.

This, this is certainly a valid point.
I've seen people who, when told I love you in a particular cone/cadence tense up and prepare for Bad ThingsTM as their instinctual defenses kick in — what must have happened to make those three words trigger such a reaction? And dare we forget what Jesus said about teaching children and millstones?

Not wanting to get into a war here-— I was summing up what I’ve heard from my kids friends. I have no problem with church or god or Jesus.

I should have made that more clear.
