You are throwing the baby out with the bath water. Just because there are some bad apples out there who are dictatorial you want to replace them with a two headed monster than in most instances will not work.
As I said you are welcome to engage in whatever form of church government you like but don't act like it is some kind of biblical imperative that we all join your lunacy.

This opens up a new level to the conversation. What it comes down to is the teachings of the New Testament. Does the New Testament permit a one-man pastor model?
If yes, then it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say. If not, no amount of wanting it to be so can make it okay with God.
