There's no doubt that the "modern church model" is primarily man-made tradition and that there is a lot of wrong focus in the modern Church. Many of your specific complaints are valid complaints. There's only one problem: Christianity is not a democracy; you have no rights, no sovereignty, no say whatsoever; you are required to obey GOD and you do not have the right to withhold yourself from the rest of the body of Christ when His word has specifically said not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together. You are required to find out from God where in the body of Christ HE would have you and what your specific place is in a local assembly of believers (whether that local assembly meets in its own building, in a rented storefront, in someone's house, in a cave, or whatever). Go to God and have Him tell you where you are to go.
Ok, for the 80 millioneth time, I don't think that reducing my attendance to twice a month is considered forsaking.

Other than that, I only partially disagree with the rest of what you said. Christianity IS in some part a democracy, at least it is between people. God is the ultimate authority, but try and find 2 people who can agree on what God is saying. I AM trying my best to do what God is telling me to do. But it is a work in progress, and I can only take one step at a time.

ETA: you mentioned that I said "I" alot. I fail to see the problem with that. I can only do what I feel God wants of me. I am not arrogant enough to think that I know what is best for everyone. I can only worry about me. I'm sorry if you think that is selfish, or self-centetered.
