"Just hang in there, pray over the situation and be faithful..." I heard that and even told myself that for years, for decades. But it never got better. I'm laughing at myself now, because if they hadn't kicked me out, I'd probably still be in there; being faithful and believing that things would eventually get better.

Sounds like the woman with the abusive boyfriend! The problem is things CAN get better for short periods of time, but then come storming back worse then ever since the root problems are never solved.
My parents had their own situation, and they thought that way for a few years. The problem is there would be massive outpourings of the spirit and we would think/hope that things would change as a result but it didn't. I was a teen at the time so didn't have much say, but I remember as most of the church complained about how "horrible the pastor was!", but then when WE left we were officially excommunicated and would see former church-mates make ridiculas "shows" of avoiding us if we were to meet in a restaurant -the ones who were openly complaining the most before the split usually. We ended up laughing at their "Maxwell Smart-like" efforts to avoid us.
