And if not, once you become aware of that fact and it is confirmed to you, why not travel somewhere else and start a work there? You seem to be gifted with boldness for public preaching and witnessing. Many churches have been started exactly that way. With the internet and social media, youtube, etc the task should be easier than it was say 20 years ago.
It is one thing to complain about the state of religion in America. It is another thing to take the bull by the horns and do something about it.

Yes I have been an Elder/Pastor in 4 groups over the years. There are various reasons why that is not the case some my fault some not. Yes my wife is born again and on fire. She is one of the few people I know that have been in jail in America for preaching Jesus to the lost.
The 2 of us are the where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name.....
We are doing what you have suggested. I preach on the street corner. I get to minister on Paltalk an amazing resource where I have taught Oneness and other foundation truths to many people over the years.
This is a funny story for which I give Christ the praise. A while back on Paltalk I was teaching Oneness to a group of Trins , Arians, and Unitarians, probably 40-50 people. One Trin who had never heard of Oneness doctrine before decided to go out on a internet search of Oneness doctrine while I was speaking so when he came to the mic he would be able to rebuke me.
When he came to the mic he told how he went out on the net searching for what Oneness believes. Then he began to read from a web site he found.
I was stunned because of all the thousands of internet articles out there the one he was reading from
WAS ONE I HAD WRITTEN YEARS AGO!
So yes we are always in the business of trying to help people come to Jesus or a deeper walk with him. We havent had many takers in recent years but still praying and not giving up hope.
What some people take for just complaining about Churches or doctrine is actually intended by me to be teaching the word
